los, as tough as the Italian may be | won't put him back at the top. He knows he has a long, hard trail to follow before he gets back where he was a year ago. Still, a win over the Italian will do lot toward giv- ing him the encouragement to con- tinue in his quest while a loss will send his stock tumbling right into the coal bin.
 Gaito's angle on the question is a little different. Yonkers Johnny is
 standing on the threshold of bril- liant ring career. He has licked all the kids in his neighborhood, and that takes in just about all of New York city and New, Jersey. and is
 going out after the bigger fry in his quest for further gold and glory Johnny and his handlers have the
 championship bug buzzing constant, around their ears and are frankly l pointing the kid to shot at either
 Bat Battalino or Benny Bass.
 Although Gaito has licKed such
 good club fighters as Patsy Ruff;llo and Andy Saviola, he has never
 before tangled with fighter of | Smiths class and. while d defeat al the hands of the more experienced Hungarian trial horse won't make or break his career, it will determine whether or not Gaito is ready to steI ahead a class or two or whet her he will have to remain in the primary
 division for some time yet.

 NEW FOG SIGNAL
Simple Radio Equipment Tells Ships Distance from Lighthouse

The United States Lighthouse Service employees in Alaska are very much interested in a new method of sending out fog warn ing signals devised by the United States Lighthouse Service, which permits fog bound vessels to de- termine their distance from the lighthouses or lightships whose signals they can hear through the fogssss
 After nearly two years of ex- perimenting, both at the Virginia Capes and on the Great Lakes, the lighthouse service, of the De- partnlent of Commerce, now plans to make such signal service a regular part of the work of four additional lighthouses on the lakes when navigation again opens in the spring.
 . Attempted in Many Ways
 The overcoming of the fog han tiSaPs& & Wlilcll 1lCAuCilblJ d1oi uEJVo the sailing schedules of hundreds of vessels, or introduces serious hazard in their navigation, has been attempted in many ways, the new distance finding means serving as an additional aid. Its mehod of operation is quite simple, re- quiring no intricate calculations and merely the possession of an ordinary radio. receiving set or a radiocompass.
 The lighthouse or lightship send ing signals, is equipped both with radiobeacon and a fog signal which sounds in air, such as a siren or diaphone. Both these pieces of euipment are in regular use at the most important sta tions.
 Long DaSh Is Sent
 At regular intervals while the radicbeacon is broadcasting it's usual code signal, long dash is sent. The radio operator or ob- server aboard the ship listens for this long dash, noting the exact second on which :, terminates

 Vancouver, B. C.

With 13 passengers booked at Juneau, the s e m S h i p Princess Norah, Capt. O. c. Sainty, bound from Skagway for Vancouver, B. O., left here at o'clock last night.

WRECKED BOAT FOUND IN SAND
 NEAR KANATAK
Propeller Is Dug Out by Natives - Buyer
 Name Unknown

SEWARD Alaska, Jan. 28.-A wrecked power boat buried in the beach sands five miles south of Kanatak has been found by na- tives.
 Two boats have been missing from here during recent months.
 The Tina belonged to Frank Kazahaya and Paul Chase is one of the craft and the other boat was explained by Charles Ems weller.
 A two-foot Coolidge propeller was dug out of the sand by the natives but it is not likely to have been from the Kazahaya-Chase's boat as it is understood they had a Hyde wheel.

With the termination of the radio broadcast dash the fog signal sounds a blast, but as sound sig nals travel comparatively slowly through the air it is usually few seconds before the signal is heard aboard the observing ship. By counting the number of seconds in this interval, the distance between the ship and the sending station is easily determined, fer the speed a which sound travels is known.

MANY cases of this nature appear recorded
although, as a matter of fact but three
legal hangings took place in the District during
the first so years of the citys existence
In 1926 Jonathan Devaughn, an overseer,
and one of those executed, paid the penalty for
the murder OF Mr. Martin, whitesmith. The
crime was committed near what used to be
called Moore's lane, above Florida avenue and
between First and Third streets northwest In
this case it seems that the "son Of Mr.. Martin,
having been ON Moore's land, Devaughn, then
the overseer, took his hat A few days there
after Mr.. Martin and his wife went out to OBJ
tain the hat, when Devaughn set the dogs upon
them, and Mr.. Martin was fred upon by De-
vaughn and killed. When an attempt was
made to arrest Devaughn he fired upon the of
Ulcers, but without effect Devaughn against
whom the public feeling here runs high on af-
adavit had the trial removed to the Alexandria
courts, but it did not avail to save his neck as
he was convicted and hanged June ~, 1927"
A case with very dramatic ending was that
OF DIR. Charles Gardiner, a local dentist, ac-
cused in 1858 of forgery. At the close of the
Mexican War, the story Is related, and In ac-
cordance with the treaty of Guadalupe Hill
dago, the United States assumed the payment
OF the claims of her citizens against Mexico,
and board Of commissioners was appointed to
examine and decide on such claims.
Among others who appeared before them"
according to the "Reminiscences" of the late
Judge Walter S. Cox, was DR.. Gardiner, who
claimed large amount of damages for having
been expelled from the ownership Of valuable
silver mine in Mexico and broken UP in his
business. He actually obtained an award of
some $4,000 or $1,000 and received the money
from the Treasury. 1t was afterward discov-
cred that the whole thing was fraud, and he
was indicted and tried in the Criminal Court.
Mr.. Henry May, who was specially employed to
assist the district attorney then Mr. Fendall;
Maj Mordecai of the Engineer Corps, and per-
haps one other, was sent to Mexico to investi-
gate. They found that the mine was myth,
and there were forged title papers in the Mexi-
can land ofice, artihcially stained to give them
the appearance Of age, and other evidence Of
the fraud
"All this evidence was presented to the jury.
A Mexican judge was brought to testify as
. witness. In the course of the trial one of the
most important documents disappeared from
the trial table under the very eyes of counsel,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-02-01

and one doubted that DR.. Gardiner had
spirited 1t away, though it was not proved. The
jury found him guilty. He was seen to put
something into his mouth. He was carried at
once over to the Jail, and in less than 80 min
utes was dead man. He had swallowed pol
son-strychnine, it was supposed-as soon as
the verdict was rendered. He was bold
swindler; when the indictment was found he
came boldly over from Europe where he then
was, to stand his trial. and was so ingenious
that his counsel, Messrs Bradley & Carlisle
were completely deceived by him. A consider
able part of the money he received was traced
and recovered by equity proceedings"
MR.. L. A. GOBRIGHT. celebrated news
paper correspondent who passed away
several decades ago, in speaking of this case in
the trained style of the newspaper writer, says:
"' The jurors having returned to the
court room. their countenances were intently
watched by every one in order to ascertain, If
possible, in advance of the formal announce
ment. the result of their conference.
'The jurors. having taken their seats, were
asked In the usual manner, whether they had
agreed upon their verdict. An affirmative an
swer was given in such tone of solemnity
that its character was known to all in that
dense assembly. The counsel for Gardiner
asked that the jury be polled, when, in re-
Spouse to the question: Guilty, or not guilty?'
every one of them answered, Guilty.
DIR. Gardiner stood during these interesting
proceedings; his countenance became paler and
paler as the answers were severally given. He
cherished hopes of an acquittal or that the jury
would not be unanimous until the twelfth juror
had responded.
THAT last answer seemed to shatter him
completely. His face became deadly pale, with
a blue tinge about his mouth, and this appear
ance strongly contrasted with that of his large,
dortr or1d rIa To etc orodf To bic
seat, a pitiable object to all spectators Some
minutes having elapsed. and after putting into
his mouth what was supposed to be small
piece of tobacco he asked for glass of water,
which evidently afforded partial relief to his
intense agony. Soon the order was given by
the court to conduct him back to the jail. He
had not been there more than half an hour
before he was seized with spasms, which soon
resulted in his death. He had taken strychnine
in the court room, the effect having been de-
