The unfavorable wealth er delayed the arrival of the vessel in Juneau from Seward two hours. She made fast at the city wharf at 10 o'clock last night. After disembarking passengers, she shift ed to the Juneau Cold Storage Company's dock to load fresh hali- but for Seattle discharge and then she went to the Alaska Juneau mining company's pier to take on gold ore concentrates. She de- parted for Puget Sound at mid night.

A search of the ,underbrush in the vicinity of Welland and Rock land avenues in the Town Plot sec- ton of the city was made to-day in hopes of discovery of the re- ! volver used Saturday night in the attempted murder of MT. and Mrs. John Kvietkus. Up to press hour the police and volunteer workers were unsuccessful in their efforts The immediate vicinity of the home of the Kvietkus family offers any number of places to dispose of a weapon. The authorities have so- licited the cooperation of the youngsters of the neighborliood In the search for the gun. 1 Mir. and Mrs. Kvietkus were shot ! and seriously wounded In their ] home by masked gunman.

1 The vote in favor of Chicago as the scene of the republican na- tional convention was 86 to II, the latter group favoring Atlantic City, \. J.
 Chairman Roraback and Miss Byrne, in voting for Chicago, stat ed that sentiment in Connecticut favored the selection of the middle western city because of it's location and also because of it's very good railroad facilities. Chairman Roraback's first choice, however, it is understood, was Cleveland, Ohio, but that city withdrew from the race before the vote was taken.
 The outstanding feature of yes- terday's session, according to re- ports, was the half-hearted enthu- siasm for President Hoover. AS one feature of the meeting. talk ing pictures of the chief executive were shown. All but one of these pictures went by in silence, includ- ing pictures of Hoover being sworn into office. The last pie ture, showing Hoover at the White House, brought a weak flutter of applause. according to reports.

 attracted by a conmotion in the yard.
 Some Of the deceased's friends IwerS inclined to the opinion that he walked in his sleep. He was livery familiar with the layout of of the rooms of the hotel and the exits and often made his way about lthe place without an escort.
 {, Mfr Pierpont himself when found
 did not complain of falling down stairs. He remarked that he had Ihurt his ankle. With the assist aflce of friends he hobbled back to l his room, removed his clothes and went to bed. The deceased weighed over S40 pounds and had he fallen down the rear stairway or exit 1t is !more, than likely that he would have suffered injuries of a more serious nature and that were more apparent than fractured ankle.

 quest as matter of form, but the police are inclined to believe that death was caused by an accident l and without suspicion of foul play.

be a temporary way, and can't
last through a long, hard winter,
so it ought to be done by taxa
ton. What kind Of taxation? Why
on those able to pay it. Off in
comes in the higher brackets.
England did it the other day, they
had tremendous high income tax
but they boosted it still higher.
They don't monkey with play
ing politics when something is
needed. Five percent on incomes
of over 100000 would be fair,
for the rate stops at 100000 for
some reason or other, it don't up
like it does up to the 100000. A
man making million don't pay
any more on his last 100000 than
the fellow on his first. Why stop
it up there where a man is just
getting in shape to pay? That 5
percent would do the whole thing.
Will it pass? Not unless you
poison all the Republicans. They
take care of big money for big
money takes care of them.
A Sales tax will do it, with
practically no tax on necessities
and big one on Injuries, and a
big inheritance tax to get the fell
low that don't spend. Well that
practically settles that, so by the
next week everybody ought to be
doing fine.
