MIL .IONAIRE ON TRIAL. IN GIRL GAS
Route of America's First Immigrants Traced from Asia Do,un the Alaska Coast by Dr. 4. HrdIickr
By F. B. COUPON

Associated Press Science Writdf)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6s-- Retracing a migration that began' thousands of years ago, pr. Aes Hrdlicka. anthropologist q The Smithsonian Institution, has td3nd new evidence concerning the route that early men are believedN to have followed from Siberia to Anl- erica.
 Returning from summer spent in Alaska he reports that his ex-I ploration definitely has settled that the peopling of America took plnce not through the mainland of Ales- ka, but along it's western coasts And through the Alaskan peninsltla. "
 Some scientists hold that the route was through the interior. <
 People closely related to Mon golian and Siberian nomads prob, ably were the first humans to come to North America, starting perhaps about 5000 B. C., Dr. HrdNcka says.
 Bones Are Found &
 He found bones of a vanished people who may have been among these early pioneers from Asia, and evidence that they must have tray- eled down the coast because that route was so much easier and shorter than through the interior.
 The bones were found on an island directly in the path of the coastwise route southward. They are identified as belonging to apre- historic race whose members were cannibals.
 Weapons, tools and art objects uncovered with the bones differ from any previously brought from the far north, indicating tha. thssf makers belonged to previously unknown people.
 These ancient folk carved faces in ivory and bone so photographic in their detail that Dr. Hrdlicka believes they are portraits of indi- viduals rather than mere images.
 Estimating Age Estimating the age of some of the bones is difficult, because they had been frozen solid in the ground for centuries and hence preserved as if in cold storage.
 Dr. Hrdlicka explored the narrow Alaskan peninsula extending from the southwestern corner of Alaska which would have been the only barrieir to canoe parties moving to the south.
 He found that people with skin boats easily could have crossed 1t, by way of rivers running from both coasts into the interior, and short portages. Travel by this route would be far easier, he points out, than on the turbulent mainland streams of Alaska.
 This seasons work has opened a great and highly promising new field for American archaeology in which the Smithsonian explora- tions will be continued" Dr. Hrd- licka says.

MAYAS ALSO PROBABLY
 WENT SOUTH VIA ALASKA

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. B. Evidence that the Mayas, remains of whose mighty cities, now buried in the Central American jungles, were the first people to ever live in that section, has been discov- cred by the Carnegie Institution here.
 Oliver Ricketson, jr, archaelogist, reported his expedition has dug down in red rock, at the site of 'Unaxactum, ancient Maya City, in Guatamala, and found Maya relics at the deepest levels.
 Indications, according to Ricket- son, are that that part of the world must have been uninhabited before the Mayas arrived 600 years B. c. They probably came down from the north after crossing Ber- ing Strait from Asia.

NEW YORK, NOV. 5.-Dr. Edwin Kemmerer, of Princeton University, who has helped dozens of nations back to monetary stability, said the position today of the United States, with the gold standard and dollar, is virtually impregnable.
 Dr. Kemmerer said New York now has the opportunity of re- placing London as the worlds fi- nancial center.
 Dr. Kemmerer, who was the principal advisor in the formation of the Dawes plan, labelled as ig- norant or timid or envious those persons who expressed fears of a breakdown of the gold standard.

begin to think of someone besides yourself. Aileen wants and needs you"
 Vivienne almost hated him for reminding her of that. For almost an hour they motored on, each again avoiding all efforts at con- versation. Then as the car was passing an old, abandoned farm, Charming swerved it abruptly through the entrance gates He ran along a weed-grown road, past a ramshackled barn, and brought the roadster to a stop under clump of trees.
 Whats the matter?" Vivicnne asked, surprised at the set of his jaw.
 There's something I'm going to say to you-and I'm going to say it now" Charming answered grim ly. You've behaved like a spoiled i kid long enough. don't mind tell ing you, frankly, that I'm sick of | iti"
 She could hardly believe this was Charming, there in the car beside her. That tone from any other man would have thrown her into a panic. Yet the knowledge that it was Charming brought back her old diablerie.
 "Oh, really!" she laughed un- pleasantly. It was true that shed asked him to help her, but she was not proposing to listen to any cur tain lecture.
 "Yes, really!" he snapped and faced her. I'm going to ask few questions-and I want the truth. In the first place-honestly-did you fire that shot at Kronberg?"
 Are you serious in asking that?" She stared at him incredulously. Gan you think that I invented the woman in the mask?'
 No, but Kronberg thinks SO

ISLANDERS WIN GAME
 FROM CAPITOL BUILDERS

In a clean game of basketball, the Douglas Fire Department last night defeated the Capitol players from Juneau by a 39-20 score.
 Both teams played evenly until the beginning of the second half when the Capitol boys lost their form. At the quarter the score stood at all and at the half was 15-12 in favor of Douglas. In the last canto the Islanders sank many short shots and completely bewildered their opponents. Gray counted for IA of the Firemen's total while Manning and Hays both counted ten. Wittanen and Delvin were high point men for the Capi- tol bunch.
 Cashen substituted for Hayes and Niemi for Johnson on the Islander lineup. The Capitol play CTS used no subs. Hayes was on the receiving end of someone's elbow which connected above his eye; while Johnson's shoulder was hurt, putting both out of the game.

JIM MbECKSTEAD, ACE SWEEPSTER, LOST TO SQUAD

SEATTLE, Jan. 29-Crew pros poets at the University of Washing ton for the 1881 campaign were rudely jolted today when James Beckstead, No. 4 oar on the '28 var sity and 30 J. V. eights notified Coach Al Ulbrickson that he plan ned to leave for California in the very near future and will not re- port for training work.
 BackStead, rated as an almost certain man for the '31 varsity, has not registered at the Univer- sity for the winter quarter. He re- ceived the offer of a fine business opportunity from his nome city in California, and it was supported by a suggestion from his father that he accept it. Therefore, the Husky athlete today notified Ulbrickson that he doesn't plan to sign the registration books and will prob ably leave for the South next week.
 The loss of Beckstead will be keenly felt by the Washington squad as he has year of varsity and one of junior varsity experi- ence behind him and as port oarsman will be in special demand this year. The failure of Beck stead to join the Husky squad will mean the reduction of squad effi- ciency and the loss of manpower that Ulbrickson had hoped to avoid

 OF BASKETBALL
Juneau and Douglas Maid ems Will Meet Here
 Friday Evening

Athletic maids will vie for bas- ketball honors tomorrow evening. Girl teams representing Juneau and Douglas high schools will meet in the Juneau High School gym nasium in the fourth game of their championship series. Boys from the two institutions will also play, but the feminine contest attracts greater attention and promises to be more exciting.
 Early in the season, the Douglas girls appeared to be sure winners of the Gastineau Channel cham pionship. They took the first two games, and needed only a third victory to obtain the title, as the trophy goes to the victor in the first three games of the possible five-game series.
 Islanders Turned Back
 Last Friday night at Douglas, however, Juneau turned back the onrushing Islanders and took her first contest of the season, The local maids are inspired with con- fidence now and are determined to repeat tomorrow night their suc- cess of week ago.

T thought things over as I drove" he said. Unless you'd rath- CT not, you'd better come back with me. Kronberg may not find it out"
 Half an hour later Channing's car was speeding along the Roose- welt Boulevard Vivienne sat in silence and he made no effort to break it. Possibly he sensed her thoughts and thought it better not to intrude on them yet awhile. The whole thing has started so inno- gently, and had grown into such a muddle, that both of them found it difficult to know where to begin to discuss it. Viv remembered that it was in this car that they had been drenched one 'Sunday-when the dress that was the nucleus of all that had happened since, had been ruined by the rain. It occurred to Charming that finery was, per- haps, the basic cause of most of the woes woman had known since Eve first learned that apples were really serpent's eggs.
 An hour they spent at quiet rcadhouse, served to rest them and soothe their nerves, as well as give Vivienne a chance to tell him just what had happened.
 Charming deftly switched the subject. He sketched his plan oi Vivienne's going to the studio, SC that Aileen could visit with her without their being observed.
 .'Oh, it would have been ideall- except for what has happened. 1r fact, I'm not sure that I ought tc 20 to New York at all"
