 tGroYo came in for a searching in vestigation by officers. He had bought a small power boat which he used for trolling at times. It was found that he had lived for time on board the Comrade, Mac Donald's boat, and was son that boat the day of the murder. That same night Macdonald came to the boat late at night. tired out. with some supplies, although Macdonald had been broke and told Grovo to say that he (MacDonald) had been on the boat all day,
 GroVo later returned to the states, but becoming worried, confided his story to a friend who advised him. to inform the officers, which Grovo did.

L0NGW0RTH LEAVES CHAIR FOR FIRST TIME IN CAREER TO ARGUE FOR AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27- With a vote of 289 to 93 the House of Representatives passed a resolu- tion to abolish the lame duck' sessions of Congress. The resolu- tion now goes to the Senate, and must be approved by the legisla- lures of three-fourths of the States. The resolution provides for a consti- tutional amendment to drop short sessions after the November elec- tions. It would permit the new congress to convene January in- stead of 13 months later, and would provide for the inauguration of the president January 24.
 Speaker Longworth left his chair for the first time since he occupied it to argue for the amendment, warning that Congress would be perpetually in session without such an amendment. This will be, if adopted, the twentieth amendment to the constitution.

Supreme Court Says 18th Amendment Is
 Constitutional Law
OVERRULES DECISION MADE BY FEDERAL JUDGE OF NEW JERSEY. UNANIMOUS VOTE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24- The Supreme Court of the Unitad States today upheld the Eighteenth Amendment, oyerruling the decision made by Federal Judge William Clark of New Jersey last fall.
 Judge Clark contended the Eight eenth Amendment should have been submitted to the state conventions for ratification rather than to the state legislatures. The Supreme Court ruled the view untenable.
 The Government argued that the question had already been disposed of by the Supreme Court Atton- neys upholding the decision of the decision of Judge Clark argued the Eighteenth Amendment was in- valid. claiming the amendment granted new powers to the federal government over the people and that such an amendment must be submitted direct to the people.
 Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes withdrew from the case and took no part because he had filed a brief in a previous prohibition case which he contended disqualified him.
 The decision today was delivered by Associate Justice Owen J. Rob erts before a crowded courtroom.
 Justice Roberts said Congress had been granted complete jurisdiction to decide the mode of ratification of amendments and had a right to re- fer amendments to state legisla- lures.
 The decision sustaining the yalid- ity of the Eighteenth Amendment was unanimous.

The matter came up in connection with a suggestion by Rev Pederson that an old shack which served as an undesirable background to any photographs taken of certain totem poles might well be removed The chamber went Rev. Pedersen one better by recommending to the council that it consider the removal of several unsightly shacks about the town.
 Having been notified by the Bu- reau of Public Roads that a pre- liminary survey of the Pats Lake road would probably be made this summer the club considered the ad- visibility of having a reconnaissance made of a possible route Leo Mc- Cormack took occasion to point out to the club that chances of getting the road would be considerably bet ter if the chamber could produce some definite information for the consideration of the bureau.

 The club was informed that a pe- tition requesting lights for the Old Town channel had been signed and forwarded to the lighthouse service A light is requested on Lemesurier Point, Easterly Island. and anothen on Blanch Rock in Ernest Sound; a light on the reef in Zimovia Strait to replace black can No. g., and a light in mid-channel to re- place the spindle located opposite Wrangell
