 Gold had been discovered on the beach at Nome, and in the fall two of us headed down the Yukon on the last boat, the Hannah, in company with 500 others going to Nome and San Francisco.
 This trip will never be forgotten and was extremely interesting. My love of adventure and novelty was satisfied to the full. I was never tired of studying the human nature around me-the crying of the many malamutes confined be- low deck aroused my sympathy for 1 thought them abused and starving nj the busy gamblers of both sexes, keeping guard over the fat poke of gold dust we car ried-the purser,s safe was more than overflowing before we went on board.

Hard storms of wind, rain and snow were con- tinuous.

The third suspected dispenser of poisoned hooch which was respon- sible for the death of James Hogg, 52, of 232 South Main street, on December 8, was arrested late yes- terday afternoon by members of the emergency squad. After spend- ing several hours at police head quarters the accused, Benny Zap pone, 40, of 352 South Main street was released under bonds of $500. Zappone was expected to be ques- toned today by Coroner John T. Monzani.
 Regardless of whether Zappone is held by the coroner in connec- ton with Hogg's death he faces the charge of violating the liquor law. About 15 quarts of liquor were found when the police raided his apartment. Samples of the liquor have been submitted to a chemist for a nalysis.
 On the day Hogg was found dead in the hallway of his boarding house on South Main street and his companion, Michael Heffernan, 38, of East Clay street was taken to St Mary's hospital In a serious con- dition from drinking poisoned hooch, the emergency squad raided two places on Washington avenue, seized liquor and arrested Mrs Theresa Danisavage and Mrs Mary Strelkauskas. The liquor found In these places did not contain poison, according to the chemists report. Mrs Strelkauskas was held under bonds of $5000 until the coroner

Basle, Switzerland, Dec 24.-- (UP)--An immediate and complete new deal on war debts and repara- tions to avert "new disasters" is called for. in the report of the in- ternational financial experts who have been studying Germany's capacity to pay"
 Germanys inability to resume payments after the expiration of of the present Hoover moratorium, and economic conditions prevailing throughout the entire world make such information action necessary, the advisory committee of the Young, plan reported.
 Despite the seriousness of the sit- uation as outlined in the report, 1t suggested:
 ",rhe assumption that equilibrium will not be regained after the pres- ent crisis would be to counsel des- pair" It observed that period of prosperity had followed every previous world crisis.
 Although 1t Is impossible to fix a date, 1t is none the less certain that equilibrium ultimately will be reached with the assistance of measures suggested in the conclu- sion of the committees report" the report said in holding out the promise of prosperity in return for war debt revision.
 The committees report. which will he referred to the interested governments which include Ger many's principal creditors, called the governments' attention to the following important conclusions:

Held Exercises in Honor of Great Festival of
 Christmas
SANTA CLAUS GENEROUS

Yuletide exercises predominated the sessions in many of the city's parochial schools this morning, previous to the Christmas recess which began at noon to-day and continues until Wednesday morn ing of next week.
 Some of the rooms were hand somely decorated with colored pie lures of St Nicholas, reindeers, sleighs, toys and other articles which added to the spirit of the Nativity. A few Christmas trees were noted, around which the chill dren assembled and sang fitting carols and delivered brief but in- teresting recitations.
 Kindergarten children left their respective institutions this noon with delightful Christmas articles made from their own hands and including paper stockings, paper toys and colored pictures. These stockings will be hung up tonight when the little ones go to bed for sweet dreams of the morrow.

 Thereafter in preparing mall for the signature of the secretary (Mr Lamont) please refrain from using the phrases You are informed and you are advised. Words of this purport are obviously surplus age"

 President Harding gave the country "normalcy." It is gener- ally believed to have been on his own coinage. President Wilson's speeches and state papers added many words to the national vo- cabulary.

DEMOCRATS WILL NOT BLOCK ANY
 RELIEF PLANS
Will Back Any Measures to Break Depression, But Will Amend Them As They See Fit
By THOMAS l.. STOKES

United Press Stan Correspondent Washington, Dec 24.-(UP)-- Democrats in congress have adopt ed a conciliatory, cooperative and expedient policy, with a "plnn-as- lyou-go" legislative program, to make their bid for the presidency next year.
 Their strategy was dlvuiged In the first IT days of the sessio n, which saw the house. where demo- crats are responsible for legisla. ton, quickly pass and send to the senate two measures In President Hoover's program-the foreign debt moratorium and the $100.- | 000,000 Federal Land Bank bill. | This is the best record at the beginning of session that I have seen in my. 30 years experience" Democratic Floor Leader Rainey commented to-day in enumerating tho house's achievements, which included besides these two majo. measures several other bills, in- cluding a District of Colum bia tax bill. $200, 100000 appropriation for veterans loans, and a naval re- serve bill.
 Rainey and Speaker Garner said to-day they would press through the house. immediately after the Christmas holidays, the $500, ,000,- 900 reconstruction corporation pro- ject proposed by President Hoover to free frozen assets and open up the channels of credit. Thus the democratic house will have approv. ed-and with speed--the chief of the presidents financial relief measures.
 The endeavor of house demo. cratic leaders Is to cooperate and give to President Hoover as quick- ly as possible those national meas ures designed to relieve tho de- pression, though to embody their own Ideas in following the princi- pie of the preslde ent's recon menda. tons.
 If we had not put in the mora. torlum bill the reservation against reduction or. cancellation of debts and if we had not included in tho Land Bank hill the feature for a partial moratorium on farm mort gaRes. these measures would not have passed" Ra'ney said. "President Hoover wanted neither of these amendments. bu; we regarded them as essential" Democrats also will write their ideas into the reconstruction cor poration bill. pending before the banking and currency committee. As for other matters upon which congress must net. the democrats will formulate their policies as tn" Issues arise.
 The house ways and means com mlttee will begin soon after the holidays to hold hearings on tax legislation. and as that inquiry dn- velops the facts the democrats will formulate tax program to offer as substitute for that prepared by Secretary of Treasury Mellon. Similarly democrats will work out their ideas on the tariff. un- employment legislation and other economic issues as the occasion arises.

POPE PLUS SAYS THAT THE WORLD
 "FORCETS COD''
Reproached Nations That Overlook the Almighty in Times of Sorrow Pays Tribute to United States

Vatican City, Dec 24---(UP) - The Pope, referring to the world economic crisis, reproached the nations today for forgetting God in a time of sorrow.
 The Pope made his remarks in renlying to Christmts greetings from a group of 25 cardinals, head cd by Granite Di Belmonte, who read an address of homage.
 Tribute was paid by the Pope to the United States for thanking thb Almighty even admist trials. He alluded to Thanksgiving day.
 sAmerica remembered gratefully the benefits God granted the na- ton, nor did 1t forget to thank him also for the benefits extended 10 other countries"
 The Pope spoke with sorrow Of the collapse of wing of the Vati- can library. remarking that the loss of life was more painful to hln than the material damage. The body of another laborer was taken from the ruins today, mak- ing e total of five dead.
 "All workmen and all sons or lahor," the Pope told the cardinals "are physically and truly imiators of him who was born at Bethlehem and on the morrow became e work man of Nazareth"
 He recommended that the Car dlnals say three masses for the re- pose of their souls.
 The Pope referred feelingly to the religious situation in Russia, Mexico and Spain.
 Of Mexico he remarked that the tribulations of the church were continuing there, although mitigat- cd in the past few days by the ma ternal smile of the Virgin Of Guadaloupe..
 Referring to Russia, he said the church was undergoing the great est tribulations and untold hard- ships, but made all the more pre-. clous, however, by the heroism Of "so many confessors and martyrs who are undergoing the hardest trials for the sake of Christ and His church."
 He spoke of terrible tribulations In Spain. a beloved country (which has seen lately It's most illustrious pages of history torn to bits while It's ancient glory has been dim med"
 Addressing Cardinal Segura of Spain, who was forced to leave the country because of his stand q. gainst the anti-clerical movement, the Pope said he was deserving of the admiration of the whole of Christendom."
