Comedy Hit
 Reaches State
Strictly Dishonorable" Features Lukas and
 Supporting Stars

One of the most delightful mo- tion pictures to reach the local screen in many day is strictly Dishonorable," Universars sophis- ticated comedy which opened D. day engagement Friday at the Warner Bros State theater.
 In the subtle piquancy of It's story, the brilliance of its dialogue and the acting of It's players, even down to the smallest role, this screen play is positive gem. And 1t is noteworthy that there Is not an "eXtra" in the picture. The cast is not large, and every role Is quite in character.
 Paul Lukas is quite in character as the continental lover. and deliv- CTS a performance bound to in- crease his rapidly growing circle of feminine admirers. Dainty little Sidney Fox Is simply delightful as the innocent southern girl, and Lewis Stones attainments as an actor have never been better dem- onstrated than in his role of the dignified judge who becomes pleas- antly "jlngled" each evening. others who contribute able char acterizations to the picture are William Ricciardl, George Meeker, Sidney Toler and Joseph w. Girard.
 All the action of strictly Dis- honorable" takes place in u New York speakeasy and the apart ments above 1t, and the picture fol- lows the adventures of n southern girl and an Italian opera singer whose intentions, us he admits to her, are ''strictly dishonorable." And as soon as they arrive in his apartment he proceeds to demon- strate the truth of his statementl
 We do not hesitate to advise you to put strictly Dishonorable" on the list of pictures which you sim ply must see. 1t illustrates In a most brilliant fashion just how great are the possibilities of the talking screen, and 1t realizes the possibilities in the fullest measure. You will enjoy every minute of 1t.
 Universal and Director John M. Stahl are not the only ones who should be proud of this exceptional picture. Great credit also goes to Gladys Lehman, who adapted Strictly Dishonorable" from the stage play by Preston Sturges.
 In gayety, suspense, dramatic tempo and unrelaxlng entertain-

AIR DEFENSE OT
 U. s. RANKS FOURTH.

Washington, D. C.AThe aerial defense of the United States, con- trary to the opinion of some, Is not equal or superior to that of other nations, F. Trubee Davlson, assist- ant Secretary of War for Aeronau- tics has stated. Rather than first in thls respect, the United States ranks fourth, he declares.
 The Air Corps has only 147G ser, viceable planes. This number does not include naval planes, which would probably be with the fleet in time of war.
 Ut Is m exceedingly difficult matter to compare the air strengths of various countries" he explains. ''Figures published by the different nations are computed on different bases from that which we use. Re- duclng these figures to 0 common basis, the United States stands fourth in the number of its fight ing planes. This includes both army and navy planes, Without navy planes, the U. $. ranks in fifth position"

NEW JURY BILL
 |S SLATED FOR
 PASSAGE JUNEAU
DIMOND THOUGHTFUL OF TER
 RITORIAL WORKERS; HALF DAY HOLIDAY

JUNEAU, April 3, Special to The GateWay-A new jury measure is apparently slated for passage by the House today as the matter was fought out in the committee all day Thursday and after more than an hours debate the motion was adopted recommending passage.
 The ministerial association of Ju- neau and Wrangell entered futile protest against the bill declaring the present. system is entirely fair.
 Ten measures and one resolution were introduced Thursday. seven in the House and three in the Sen ate. r,
 The former included a new game and fur.-bearing and stocking pro gram, revision of the school refund system, repeal of the marriage license act of 1917; directing the at tOrney general to investigate the possibilities and prepare income tax for the Territory for submis- sion to the next legislature. The others were unimportant.
 A resolution by Benjamin in the Senate seeks to direct the treasurer to invest $40,000, representing the current years allotment to the Pio- neerS' Home building fund n Wrangell municipal school bonds instead of United States govern ment bonds as heretofore required.
 A bill by Shattuck authorizes the governor to transfer title to the site of the old Territorial building to the Federal government for en- largement of the Capitol site as soon as the government acquires title to the rest of hte block. 1 Senator Dimond introduced a measure giving Territorial employ ees Saturday halliday holiday throughout the year.

 MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 5, (P,-Twenty-five thousand hall clad refugees camped last night on Nicaraguan hills overlooking the mass of smoking ruins.
 The official count of the dead thus far is 600 but the final death toll is expected to reach 1000.
 Marines and volunteers are dig ging in the ruins bringing out bod ies: no one has attempted to count the number of injured.
 Not a house was left standing or if still upright at all is shaky.
 A light earthquake today has doubled the fears of the sefuees who have been crowding trains running to Granada; others are begging automobile rides to any where away from the city; others are trudging over roads.
 The marines, under the direction of Colonel Frederick Brandnan, dl- rected work despite injuries recelV- ed when he was struck by falling beam late yesterday.
 The National palace, where the congress sits and where govern ment records are kept, caught fire,
 One hundred and 50 bodies were taken from the market place which was thronged with housewives do- ing their morning shopping when the quake struck.
 One hundred bodies from the wreckage of the National penlten- tiary, were cremated on hill out side the city, relatives standing by, numb with grief.
 There is no water supply and the marines are bringing water from Lake Nicaragua which must be boiled before using. They are blasting today to stop the advance of the flames. The first relief supplies arrived on the American airplane San Salvador; the writer, the Panama correspondent, flew to Managua in special plane.
 Four Americans are known to be dead; Dickey and BaSke, Mrs. Jos eph D. Murray, of Concord, Mass wife of Major in the marines; and chauffeur employed by Irving A Lindberg, resident high comnis- sioner.
