BO0T[EC TRADE IN COSTLY GEMS
 INVESTS AFRICA

JOHANNESBURG, South Afri- ca, Mar, 13, P)-Bootlegging in diamonds has sprung up in South Africa.
 Illicit diamond-digging is per- haps as highly organized as rum running in America.
 In Namaqualand, where the South African government has established a monopoly over dia- mond production, professional diggers, operating in the secret of night, delve for diamonds along the seashore from Port Nolloth to the mouth of the Orange River.
 Under protection of scouts and sentrieS, who give warning of government inspectors, the dia- mond diggers move in semi-mii- tary formation, and run to bullet proof shelters at the first sign of danger.
 The diggers move from one point to another over the long beach, and in the darkness 1t is almost impossible for the gov ernment agents to spot them.

A|RPLANE OFFICIAL AND ASSISTANTS
 ARRIVE SEWARD PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL AIR. WAYS RECEIVE TWO
 NEW PLANES
Probably the most distinguish

Probably the most distinguish ed group of Alaskan avlarors ever to have assembled in Seward at one time, concentrated here yesterday and today, coming from the North and South with three planes.
 The group totaled seven, as follows: Edward Lowe, Jr., and Mrs. Lowe; Joe Barrows, Alonzo Cope, Alex Holden, Harry Blunt, w. H. Barnhiu. Accompanying Pilot Blunt were Mrs. Blunt and daughter Maxine.
 All are important parts of the rapidly expanding Internal ional Airways of Alaska, Inc And about only one is missing, which would make it full deck, a hand difficult to beat. MT. Lowe is head of the big organi- zation and is assisted by Oper- ations Manager Joe Barrows with whom Sewardites have be- come we'll acq tainted dur ing and since his recent sojourn; convalescent at the Seward Gen eral Hospital,
 With the exception of Pilots Blunt and Holden, the others flopped down Thursday afternoon in one of the company's cabin planes, arriving from Anchorage via Skilak Lake, Resurrection River and the nearby glaciers.
 The party is here to supervise the unloading of the two, Fair child seven-passenger airplanes which arrived from the States on the SS Yukon, and which are being added to the Pacific Inter national Airways fleet.
 Tomorrow, MT. Barrows stated, it is possible one of the planes will be flown to Valdez and Cor dova, equipped with pontoons, and upon returning to Seward, the pontoons will be replaced with skis. The second plane, which also has pontoons, will also be changed over here to skis after which they will be flown to the Anchorage base.
 The aviators will be in the city for the next two or three days.
 When Joe Barrows left Seward a week ago last Saturday, he flew from Anchorage to Fair banks Leaving the Interior met ropolis Tuesday night, in the Fleetster, and with Cope and Joe Morrison riding as passengers, made Anchorage, about 300 miles away, in the remarkably fast time of one hour and 57 min uates. Barrow flew the party here yesterday. All are register ed at the Van Glider Hotel.
 A perfect landing was made on the new local field but MT. Lowe substantiated the state- ment made last week by MT. Bar rows that the field should be heightened as a safety factor.

FAIRBANKS, Mar. l3. lP)

FAIRBANKS, Mar. l3. (P) - Five hundred thousand additional units of anti toxin are enroute to Point Barrow with Pilots J. Crosson and s. E. Robbins. in two planes, who are taking a moving pic ture expedition to Point Hope.
 If gas is available there one plane, Crosson's, will continue to Point Barrow direct, and if there Is no gas he will return to Kot- zebue and refuel and fly to Point Barrow.
 Half of the supply of anti toxin comes from Nome and is a replace ment for the serum .ent Nome when the diphtheria was there in 1926.
 Robbins brought the serum here a few days ago so that there would be no delay.
 Doctor J. A. Sutherland, local Territorial health officer, is acting as intermediary between Doctor Griest, at Barrow, and Doctor De- Vighne, health com1ssloner in Juneau, and feels every precau- tion should be taken to prevent a further spread.
 DeVighne wired here that the present flight would be the last possible He did not state whethel Griest would have a sufficient amount of serum or that the strain on the treasury would be too great. Local feeling is that the seriousness of the situation demands a dlsre- gard of the cost.
 POINT BARROW, Mar. l3. (R)- Two boys herding reindeer and 40 miles inland are seriously i'll with diphteria.
 Effort was made to bring them in and place them under quaran- tine. It is believed that the cpl demic was brought here through the Wainright and Barrow herders.
 Conditions compare with the measles epidemic here s years ago when 40 per cent of the village died but then there were no hos pitals, radios, or planes.
 Two more severe cases developed here. The anti toxin is almost ex- hausted and the weather IS un- favorable.

CENSUS REPORT REVEALS
1861 UNDER AGE OF 10.
Check-up on Boys and Girls in
County Shows That 1894 Chill
dren Are Attending School
157 MARKED DEFECTIVE

There are 1851 children in the
county under the age of 10 years, an
official report of the census, taken by
the State Board of Education, re-
veals. Four thousand nine hundred
ninety four of these children were in
public and non-public schools during
November when the census was ia
ken. This leaves 1857 who were at
tending no school, practically all of
whom are either under or above the
school attendance age requirement.
These figures were given out by
John L. Fitzwater, attendance officer,
who compiled the report of the school
teachers in this county. This census
is taken every two years through an
order by the State Board of Educa-
ton and the assistance of the teach
ing staff of the county makes the
figures accurate and complete inevery
detail.
Other figures compiled show that
there are 124 physically defective
children in the county, but that II of
these are attending school.
Thirty-three children in the county
under the age of 10 are mentally de-
fective, the report states. Ten of
these, however are attending school.
One of the remaining % is under
school age, seven are over school age,
and Is are not being taken care of in
institutions.
Six hundred fifty-six of those not
defective were employed in some oc-
cupation, while 1881 not defective,
were not employed. Of this number,
however, 2,193 were under school age.

"WESTERN BILL" HARVEY
HAS NOVEL LIQUOR ALIBI
Caught Working Still, Claims He
Was Seeking Stolen Tire Pump

western Bill" Harvey, whom the
Cumberland Office o. the Prohibition
Bureau considers, by virtue of several
appearances in both State and FEEDER
al courts, to be Garrett county's lead
ing bootlegger, had a good story and
stuck to it but it did not get him far
in U. S. Commissioner Anderson's
court Friday. Harvey was arrested
at a seventy-five gallon open air still
near Altamont. He was said to have
been operating the pump attached to
the pressure tank of the gasoline
burner when the agents arrived.
Harvey's version of his presence
was quite different, however, as given
to the commissioner.
81 lost the pump from my car" said
the defendant, "and 1 thought that
if 1 took walk through the woods
I'd find some of those bootleggers US
ing it on their still And l was right,
too. 1 did find the pump just where
l expected"
"Then you knew of the still ?"
asked Agent in charge George T..
Danforth.
ooh, mol! I just discovered it when
looking for my pump"
Harvey was held in $1,000 bond on
charges of manufacture and posses
sion.
Two other Garrett county men,
George and John Nails, were held in
$1,000 each on the same charges.
They were found operating ten gal
Ion open air still. A small quantity
of whiskey was found in each case.

THE THIRD HOUSE AT
ANNAPOLIS SINCE 1868
Compulsory Payment of Wages
To Unemployed Urged; Repeal
of 18th Amendment Asked
SHORT SESSION YESTERDAY
By Paul Winchester and Grafton Lee
Brown, Special Correspondents

BY Paul Winchester and Grafton Lee
Brown, Special Correspondents
The Lobby or Third House at An
napolis, which has been functioning
since the session of the General AS
sembly was organized in 1868, before
the Inauguration of Governor Oder
Bowie, who was elected as the first
Executive under the Constitution of
1867, is still ready for work, and will
be on hand as soon as the legislative
body settles down.
The foundation of the organization
to control Legislation was the result
of a conference between William
Pinkney Whyte, later Governor, At
torney General and United States
Senator; George Cotton and Arthur
P. German. 1t has always been con-
ceded that the plan to require all
those who had schemes Of a valuable
character, which would require leg
islation, whether these schemes in
volved the election of the United
States Senators, State Treasurers, Po-
lice Commissioners for Baltimore
City, the grant of privileges of value
to corporations or individuals, the
confirmation of officials by the Sen
ate after their appointment by the
Governor, and other matters of a
monetary value, was formulated dur
ing the early days of the session OF
1868, and carried on to an unholy de-
gree of perfection later on-and that
the inspiring genius of the combina-
ton was William Pinkney Whyte.

AN EMERGENCY LOAN FOR
FARMERS is AVAILABLE
Loan Is Made Possible Through
Appropriation by U. S. Congress

An emergency loan of money to
farmers in drought or storm stricken
areas, for the purpose of buying
seeds, fertilizer, feed for livestock,
and gas and oil for tractors, is now
available through the U. S. depart
ment Of agriculture, according to j.
H. Carter, county agent.
This money will be available for
farmers who cannot secure loan
from their local banks, and in no case
will one man receive more than $500.
This loan is made possible through
an appropriation by Congress, and a
resolution to that effect was approved
on December 20, 1880.
Applications for this loan may be
had at the office of the county agent,
Court House, Oakland, and the county
agent, if he is wanted, will help fill
out all applications. The county
agent, howevef, has nothing to do
about granting the loan. The United
States department of agriculture has
sole authority on granting or reject
ing the application. Pamphlets ex-
planning the requirements necessary
for securing this money may also be
had at the Office of the county agent.
AS security, each individual who OBJ
tains loan for seed, fertilizer, feed
for livestock, or gas and oil for trac-
tor, must give an absolute first lien
on all of the crops growing, or to be
grown by him in 1881 in such form as
to entitle it to filing in the county in
which he resides. y
The plan of making the loan was
explained to all county agents at the
annual conference at College Park
during the week of January 10, by
w. C. Warburton, director of Exten-
sion Service, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, and Mr.. Carter, local
agent, will be glad to discuss the
question with all interested parties,
and distribute all necessary blanks.

Fathers Night" was observed al
the regular meeting of the Parent
Teacher association held in the Oak
land Grammar school last Thursday
evening, and was featured by address
ses by Mayor Grover C. Stemple and
E. R. Jones.

"Long, Long Trail"; music, string in
struments, Cogley Brothers; address
Mayor Grover C. Stemple; address,
Attorney E. Ray Jones; music, Cog
ley Brothers; song, "Till We Meet

at the piano. i
The mayors talk conferred on eco
operation, and was enjoyed. Mr.
Jones talked on "Yes-But, and But
Yes" and contained many pfactlcal
thoughts and suggestions.
Invitation for membership was ex-
tended. A report of the gain in
weight by children who were drinking
the milk furnished free by the asso-
citation led to a request for increased
funds for milk for the undernourished
children. Mrs. C. Milton Sincell
made clear the fact that while help
might be had from the Christmas
Seal Sale, it could not be great deal
as the fund had to be distributed over
the county.
1t is planned to have "Mother's
Night" at the next meeting.
