WAR ON THE WESTERN
 FRONT OF PETERSBURG

John Henderickson has sworn out a complaint in Commission CTS Court charging Pete Mikal-
 on with assault and battery ac- cusing Mikalson of breaking thrce ribs. A formal hearing was set for last Wednesday but Hendrickson was unable to ap- pear. Mikalson appears willing enough to answer the charge and claims that while visitor in his cabin HendrickSon spat upon the floor. That he demonstrated, Hendrickson, after vulgarly showing the charge of "Snoos" on his tongue spat the same into Mikalson's face. Mikal- son admits that he picked Hend- dickson up bodily and threw him out of the house but denies kick ing him and says that if Hend- rickson's ribs are broken he re- ceived the injury when he landed in the yard. Another date will be set for the hearing.

Keller Out of Juneau
 Schools Feb. 14

W. K. Keller, principal of the Juneau Public Schools resigned as of the 14th of this month to prepare for his new duties as Commissioner of Education which begins on the first of March. R. R. Raven, principal of the high school, takes over his duties as city superintendent of schools.
 MT. Keller has established an enviable record in the office he filled and it is expected that he will take into the Commission CTS office the same efficiency de- monstrated in his city work.
 According to plans announced, MT. Keller plans to revise in it's entirety, the school system of Alaska in order to bring it up to standard of all of the educa tional requirements of the standardized system.
 MT. Keller was elected on the Republican ticket last fall in a lace against MT. A. E. Karnes of Ketchikan. MT. Keller starts out on his new work with virtually , united support and it is the hope of his constituency that he will so build up the efficiency and standardization of the Ter ritorial school system and at the same time eliminate it from the petty politics which hasbeen the bane of that office that there will be no question as to his fitness to continue to serve in that office. That is the will of the people.

Canadian Officials
 Hold Inquiry

The Attorney General at Ot- taWa recently instructed the au- thorities at Victoria, B. c. to conduct investigations in ad- miralty as to the disappearance of Ruth Nellie Rhinehart who disappeared from the Princess Louise early last October.
 On request of the Alaska Ne tive Brotherhood, the American Consul George A. Bucklin, Vic toria, B. C., requested the police department of Victoria to make a report as to Miss Rhinehart'z disappearance, when going south from Wrangell to Seattle. The police department went. in their investigations as far as they could and then resuested the Attorney General at Ottava to give authority to go into the case in admiralty. This was re- gently given and a hearing Was set for the 17th of this month, report of which has not yet be-. received.
 Associated Press report of tl7a disappearance was published in the newspapers stating tn ,C Miss Rhinehart was last seen {. deck during a storm near Qul.i. Charlotte Sound and that s.- was requested by officers of the boat to go her stateroom She was not missed until the navj afternoon when the ship was searched for her but no trace of her was found. Upon the retrr'. rip of the Louise, her effects wee returned to her mother Nl1t several articles were missing those things have been turned n to the American consul along Tith other information. The au- 5horities did not indicate what heir investigations had led them o but evidently until they had secured authority from the At 0rney General to continue the investigations, they had gone as Far as they could and were not entirely satisfied with the results of their efforts.
 Miss Rhinehart was a gradu- 2te nurse of the Lutheran Hos pital, Portland and during the illness last summer of Mrs. Steve Grant of Wrangell, substituted for Mrs. Grant in the Wrangell General Hospital where she had a very fine reputation. She was on her way back to Portland, Oregon where she was going to enter nursing work again when she disappeared from the boat Born in Wrangell and familiar with boats and travel since she was a little girl, her friends do not believe that she was wash e overheard" during the storm but that she was the victim of oul play.

E. Coke Hill, Named
 Judge n FourtE

E. Coke Hill, judge of the court of the Third District e. Alaska has been renominated to succeed himself for another four year term. He was appoint ed four years ago to succeed Judge E. E. Ritchie who went out under fire. It is reported that National Committeeman athrop has endorsed Judge Hills appointment. It is under stood that Delegate Sutherland is giving every support to secur- ing confirmation of this nomi- nation.
 Three nominations have been made by President Hoover- Judge J. G. Lomen, district judge at Nome, Charles Jones, Marshal, Nome and Albert White, marshal for the First Division. It is hardly believed that Judge Lomcn will be con- f.rmed as his relations to the Lomen Corporation have not oeen to the dignity of the court not his fault, it is said, how ever.
 Senate Committee Reports
 Favorable on White
 The Senate Judiciary Commit tee reported favorably on the nomination of Albert White to succeed himself in office as United States marshal for the First Division for the ensuing four years. President Hoover submitted his name to the Se- nate recently for appointment and the report of the Senate Judiciary Committee leaves nc doubt but that he will be con- f1rmed when his name is pre- sented to the Senate for con- f1rmation.
 T. L. Chidester, agent in the Prohibition Department, has been an active aspirant to that office and it was said that he had considerable support. The action of the Senate Judiciary Committee just about knocks tn pins out from under the as- pirations of anyone for that office.

Prohis Arrest
 Marshal Feero

"Bill' E. Feero, United State! Deputy Marshal at Douglas ane Mike Pusich prominent business man of the Island city, were ar rested last week by Deputy Pro- hibition Administrator Gerald Church for conspiring to violate the national prohibition act United States Commissioner Charles Sey of Juneau set their bail in the sum of $2,500 and a date for preliminary hearing was set.
 FeerO Suspended
 Four years ago w. E. Feero was appointed to succeed the late "Bill' Eddy on the recom- mendation of many of the re- sidents of Douglas. Immediately upon his arrest, Marshal Albert White suspended him from duty without expressing his opinion as to his subordinate's guilt or innocence. He pointed out that Feero had had a good record and that heretofore no com plaints had been made against him.
 Making Investigation
 When interviewed, Marshal White declared: T have no knowledge, personal or official, of what the facts are on which the Prohibition Bureau has baS- ed it's charge of conspiracy, Un- til the case is complete, I shall express no opinion. He intimat- ed that he would make an i'm mediate impartial investigation. Said MT. White: We will not shield anyone. If Feero is guilty of conspiracy with Pusich or any one else to violate the Prohibi- tion Law or any other, the facts should be at hand to prove it and conviction and punishment should be certain. If he is not guilty, naturally he should not suffer by reason of the charge that has been made. It will take thorough inquiry to establish either guilt or innocence and this will be made at once"
 Detail of Arrest
 MT. Church and agents arrest ed Feero and Pusich when the men walked into a trap laid for the latter. Church states that the prohibition officers had no idea that Feero would be impli- cated when Pusich was entrap- ped. We received a tip that a house in Douglas, opposite the Pusich residence and owned by Joe Simpson was being used by Mike as a storage cache for li- quor. Last night T. L. Chidester and E. H. Myer rowed across tc Douglas and entered the house where they found about 65 gal Ions of moonshine in kegs. Two hours after they left Juneau ac- cording to the plan agreed on.

Commission Reaches Letter 'B'
After 2 Years Toll.

Istanbul, Turkey.-Making the new
Turkish language is proving difficult
task A commission has been sitting
at Angora for over two years cOmpOs-
ing the grammar and the dictionary.
But in the latter it has not got beyond
the letter B, and the former is only
just about to be released to the public.
The difficulties are great. 1t is be-
ing based on the French Larousse die
tionary, every word in which is TO
nave a new Turkish equivalent. As
Turkish was never very rich lam
guage and as all the Arabic and Per-
sian words are being eliminated, it
means that large proportion of the
vocabulary has to be invented.
Turkish, too, never had any modern
scientific or psychological terms. and
so these, again, which constitute such
a large part OF modern vocabularies,
have to be created. The commission
ers try to find Turkish roots out of
which they can legitimately compose
the equivalents of modern European
scientific Technology.
In the letter A alone the new words
invented amount to over 10000. Many
