thousand persons last night gathered
at Chippewa Indian Cemetery, miles
from this city, to watch for an appari-
ton reported seen for week in the
old burial ground.
The phenomena, witnesses say, takes
the form of two lights, similar to the
headlights on an automobile. The
lights are reported to rise from the
ground, turn red at times and either
fiutter away or disappear when ap-
preached.
The apparition was reported by some
folks to have appeared nine days ago,
after an Indian woman was buried in
the cemetery. Two Indian men, walk

strange phenomenon.

of the apparition. but without success.

WHOLE WHEAT DIET
USED BY FARMERS
20 Ways to Cook Grain Given
by Expert to Save People
of Drought Area.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr, october 16-Whole
wheat has become almost the exclusive
food of many farm families in drought
and graSshcpper areas of this State.
And to assist them to variety in what
might otherwise become monotonouS
menu, Miss Margaret Osborn, food Spe-
cialist of the Nebraska College of Ag-
riculture. has listed 20 ways of cooking
the grain which is coarsely cracked or
unground.
Forms Cheap Food.
On farms in the devastated areas
Miss Osborn said today she found many
eating the unmilled wheat as cereal
Wheat is selling for 81 cents a bushel
here and Is therefore an economical
antidote against hunger, as many mills
will crack it for a normal price or take
pay for the service in additional grain.
Experimenting in her own kitchen,
Miss Osborn found the most obvious
form Of preparing the whole wheat was
as cereal. From her oven 1t emerged
in variety of edible forms as mullins,
patties. as basis for meat loaf and
even simply fried.
None Need Starve.
Her findings have been embodied in
q pamphlet for the use of the needy
who wish to stave off famine with
whole-wheat diet. No farmer need
starve If he can obtain the cheap wheat,
Miss Osborn believes.
From the standpoint of nutrition"
she said, wheat is one of our cheapest
sources Of energy. 1t is a good source
of protein and wheat bran furnishes
not only roughage but valuable mineral
salts. 1t is also dependable source of
vitamin B."

.OLDTIMERS AS HOSTS AT ELK
 OPEN HOUSE
Dancing, Cards, Bowling to Feature Party on
 Wednesday Night

Subpoenas have been issued in the name of the Exalted Ruler M. s. Jorgensen, of the Juneau lodge of Elks, calling upon all members to show up for Old Timers Night, Wednesday evening for lodge and social session. They are com manded to bring their wives or sweethearts for the doings that will follow the regular lodge meeting.
 This will be the first open house affair the Elks have staged in several years," said H. R. Shep- ard, committee chairman, today, and we are making plans to en- certain large crowd of members and their ladies. A three-piece or chestra has bene engaged to fur nish music for the guests who wish to dance. In the club rooms cards will be played and the bowling al- leys will doubtless do a rushing business. Refreshments will be served, number of the ladies hav- ing offered to bake cakes, the lodge furnishing the ice cream and coffee"
 In keeping with the spirit of the night, MT. Shepard is trying to line up sufficient "old timers" who understand the intricacies of the old-fashioned waltz quadrille to put on a special feature at the dance. He believes this number will prove very popular.
 Secretary M. H. Sides announces that the regular lodge session will be called at 7:30 o'clock, half hour earlier than usual.

funds became so apparent that mo
 question remained in anyone's mind
 about a financial tieup. This date
 marked the withholding of legiti-
 mate claims from presentation to
 the Auditor" he charged.
 Through someone's error, vou- chers in the amount of about $57,- 900 for the operating expenses of rural schools were brought to this office. Warrants were issued by this office and transmitted by the Treasurer, who refused to sign them, because, as he said in a let ter dated Oct. 30, it is understood that these vouchers were approved and signed in error by the office of the Governor and have been re- called, they being in settlement for maintenance of schools outside of Incorporated Cities, for expenses accruing from January l, 1882 to the end of the 1881 -32 school year the Attorney General having held these expenses cannot properly be paid from income for the fiscal year 1881 unless warranted by ample cash surplus in the Treas ury to be carried over to the year 1892, which, at this time, seems to be a matter of doubt
 At that time he seems to have felt some doubt as to having cash surplus. Now 25 days later, with warrants continuing to be is sued and no taxes coming in, the Territorial Treasury will not be exactly flush with coin just now but the Board found it wasn't as bare as Mother Hubbards cup board
 Mixed Fiscal Dish
 The Attorney Ieneral MT. Cole asserted further, has held that "ex- penses incurred in running schools next year cannot be said to be a part of the actual running eX- penses of the Territory for this year, and, therefore, the operation of the schools after the first of the year is an expense not chargeabla to the taxes collected during the calendar year from January l to December 31, 1881
 'The seriousness of this is ap- parent to those familiar with the Territorial fiscal and accounting systems Revenues are collected on a calendar year basis. EXpendi- lures are made under two different 12-month periods; the ordinary Territorial administration year is from April to March 31; and the school year from July to June 30.
 My personal experience as a member of the Legislature and as Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate has shown me that the revenues, though collected an- nually, are figured for the bien- nium, and that the expenses of the Territory are estimated on the biennial year and the school-year, and the appropriations have been made on that basis. If the funds Of the Territory are required only to provide for expenses up to De- cember 31, 1892, six months of school, six of pension disburse- ments, and three months of Terri torial administration are going to be without funds if money con-

FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR LATE
 0. MCCONNELL
Oldtimer from Fairbanks Inferred in Evergreen
 Cemetery

Funeral services were held at o'clock this afternoon in the chapel of the Charles w. Garter Mortuary for the late Oliver Mcconnell, who died in this city last week.
 The rites were conducted by Rev. c. c. Saunders, pastor of the Northern Light Presbyterian church. Interment was in Ever green Cemetery.
 MT. Mcconnell, aged 67, a long, time resident of Alaska, arrived here October 18 from Fairbanks, where of late he had lived, in- tending to continue to Sitka to enter the Pioneers Home there. Immediately upon his arrival in Juneau he became ill and entered St. Ann's hospital. His sickness, which was incidental to advancing years, became worse and finally ended in his death.
 MT Mcconnell was not married. Nothing is known of any surviving relatives.

ditioral services performed as Speaker of the House subsequent to the adjournment of the Legisla- ture, MT. Cole declared it was not paid because it lis unauthorized. He disputes the Boards claim that similar claims were paid since the 1927 Legislature, and declared that neither the Speaker of the House nor President of the Senate re- ceived any compensation for extra services rendered during the 1929 session.
 He quoted at length from opin- ions by the Attorney General to ". C. Smith, Treasurer, relative to a concurrent resolution authorizing the payment of these officers in 1929, an din which the Attorney General held as no appropriation was made by the Legislature for theat purpose, the resolution in it. self was insufficient authority to pay out money from the Treasury.
 The Territorial Treasury may not now be empty, but it will be as bare as Mother Hubbard's cup board before the end of the bi- ennial period declared MT Cole The last Legislature appropriated about S250,00O more than the an- ticipated revenues from all sources. We are prohibited by Organic law from mourning indebtedness. There fore, when the Treasury is empty, the Territorial government must shut up shop.
 The logical thing to have done was to have eliminated about $250,000 from our expenditures. This hasn't been done.
 The responsibility Of keeping sufficient funds in the Treasury to operate the Government, MT Rust gard has said in an opinion, be- longs to the Auditor With this understanding, I advised the Gov ernor it was necessary to limit ex- penditures to balance the budget, endeavoring to show him if funds were spent at the average rate pro vided by the appropriations by De- cember l, the Treasury would be bare.
 An Acauemic Question
 T undertook to arrive at some plan of classifying appropriations but continued effort on my part could elicit nothing from the At torney General. As expenditures continued to mount, and convinced that the Treasury was headed for depletion, on July 13, I submitted a list of all appropriations to the Attorney General with a request that he list them as primary or secondary as the case might be.
 "On the following day, MT. Rust gard replied that at the present time the question submitted is purely academic and not actual adding he had been advised by the Treasurer there was no reason to fear a shortage of cash this year, or any next, and it would seem like borrowing trouble to commence to worry about what is only a remote possibility in the future"
 Claims Are Withheld
 The situation remained un- changed until October 1. when, MT. Cole said, the shrinkage in

getting S1,406.90 were deferred be- cause they were chased as second- ary and subordinate; that they were not to have become due until next June; that it was not known if they comprised all claims arising from the contract under which they arose, making it impossible to as certain whether the total appro- priation was sufficient to cover the entire cost Of the work.
 Continuing. MT Cole said MI. Rustgard says that the Board is satisfied of this and that, from conversation with MT. Hesse. If the records of the Territory are to have no more to substantiate the drawing of warrants except that this individual, or that individual, may have said about a claim, cer- tainly the records are going to be Of little use. And in it's eagerness to function, the Board of Examin- CTS has taken consideration of 6 debt against the Territory for which there is no complete record"
 Says Bid Is Higher
 Commenting on the local school transportation service, claim for which was ordered paid by the Board, Mir Cole declared the rate of payment to Contractor Johnson is $1 more than the next lowest bid for the service which was sub mitted by Peter Christianson for $230 per month. He recites the original bid of $50 per day sub mitted by Johnson which was later allowed to be changed by the Ju- neau School Board to Sl0 per day and that between the date of Johnson's original offer and Aug ugt IT, when a form of contract was entered into, Ia further scheme of increasing the per day pay had been worke dout whereby Mir. Johnson would receive $11 per day"
 This, he declared, raises John sons stipend above that whic would have been paid to Christian son. And, in addition, he said, the city of Juneau is paying for an insurance bond for protection against damages in case of acci- dental injury to children trans ported. Seventy per cent of the cost of this is refunded by the Territory which makes the actual cost of the Johnson bus larger than the bid of Christianson.

 Chaos Would Result
 The refusal upon my part to be a party to any such financial ar rangement as outlined by the At torney General is the underlyinq cause of all the trouble, and the question is of such importance to the people that I feel that all the facts should be known.
 Should I permit these gentle men who compose the Board of Examiners to proceed to manage the affairs of the Territory with out doing everything in my power to see that the law is observed as have indicated, a condition of chaos will result. If my reason ing be wrong, I will at least fee that I stood firm in my conviction that my judgment was controlled by the law as worded in the ap- propriation act and by the human element that enters into the seri- ous question.
