BUTLER SEEKS
 0L D FRIEND TO
 MAKE DEFENSE
Major Leonard, Buddy in Boxer Rebellion, Will
 Aid General
OFFICIAL BOARD IS
 HARD ONE TO SELECT
Court Martial Proceedings Are Delayed -Musso-
 lini Is Pleased


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 3o.- Major General Smedley D. Butler has asked Major Henry Leonard retired, an old friend in the Boxer Rebellion, to act as his counsel at the court martial ordered as the result of his recent utterances con- corning an alleged statement made by Premier Mussolini.
 Since retiring from the Marine Corps in 1911, Major Leonard has practiced law in Washington, D. c. At one time he was Assistant Judge Advocate General of the Navy.
 Major Leonard saved Gen. But Ter from probable death near Tient- sin while his own arm was badly shattered by gun fire.
 Hard to Get Board
 The Navy Department is hay ing difficulties in getting officers outranking Butler to sit on the Board and probably will recall re- tired officers. Only Major General Fuller, of the Marines, outranks Gen. Butler in active service.
 Gen. Butler continued to refuse to talk or see anyone at Quantico, Virginia, where he is nuder self arrest pending the court martial proceedings.
 Gen. Butler is highly thought of in Japan. He received many honors from the Japanese people, including the Umbrella of a Thousand Prayers"
 Gen. Butler is the only American general to have received two Con- gressional medals.
 Two More Witnesses
 P. M. McGinnis Nelson, of Pitts burgh, Pennsylvania, and O. White, of Portland, Oregon, said they heard Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., tell the same story as related by Gen. Butler, of Mussolini striking a child with his automobile and then not stopping, but credited with say ing: Whats the life of one child in the affairs of staten"
 Cornelius Vanderbilt is quoted as saying: T am sorry, but I have nothing to say at this time"
 DUCE FEELS BETTER
 ROME, Italy, Jan. 30.-Premier Mussolinis feelings seemingly have been assuaged by the official apol- ogy from the United States over Gen. Buffers statement.
 The Duce is represented as con- Sidering the views of Gen. But Ter as those of only one American and not the entire country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-The Jose phine K, rum runner, and Coast Guard Cutter 145 peacefully re- peated last Saturdays race when Capt. William Cluett was killed by a shell that crashed through the pilot house of the liquor laden craft. fired by the U. s. Cutter.
 The race was to determine wheth- CT the Coast Guard cutter might have captured the liquor ship with out resorting to the smelling.
 The cutter walked away with the race, three miles off Ambrose light.
 Gerald Campbell, British Consul in New York. attending the in- vestigation at the request of the Canadian Government, raised the question if the gun play was ne- cessary. Evidence was submitted the first day of the inquiry by a member of the cutter. that the reason the shots were fired was because the Canadian rum runner was a much faster craft. The race did not prove 1t.
 The speed of the 145 was trifle over II knots an hour and the Josephine K made slightly over g knots an hour. Testimony at the inquiry gave the speed of the rum craft as IA knots an hour.
 The Board of Inquiry began writ ing the report to the Guard Com mandant at Washington. D. C., im- mediately after the race.

DANGER AHEAD FOR NATIVES
 OF ALASKA

Now is the time for the many lawyers among the natives of southeast Alaska to come to the cid of their party.
 The Bureau of Education is giving way to the Indian Bu- reau. The head of the Indian Bureau already talks about the Indian wards of the govern ment in Alaska"
 It will take a number of law suits, including appeals to the Circuit Court to preserve your liberties.
 Are you ready?
 Or perhaps you are another "Chief Sitting Bu]l," the man with the big head and the small heart.
 We quote a part of what Commissioner Rhoades said:
 The Indian Bureau, he declar- ed, would be entering into an un- known field as the Alaska wards of the Federal Government are not kept on reservations.
 Commissioner Rhoades said: It probably will be necessary to formulate a new policy in hand !i>-g some 26,O00 Indians and F~'zimos because of the great difference of conditions in Alas ka and the vest" He added he would call on the Office of Ed uc3tion for assistance.
 The Interior Department bill now nendinc in the Senate pro- nOeing the transfer calls for $1,- UOGo0O for the Bureau of Indian Affairs for direction of educa- ton. economic support and me- dical relief. Under the Office of Education in 1880 education of Alaska aborigines cost $580, 400, and economic support and medi- cal relief cost $171, ,780

 POLITICAL POST MORTEMS"
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-01-15
President Coolidge

President Coolidge carried Nebraska and so we can say that Nebraska likes his brand of Rcpublicanism. How then can you explain Senator Norris who seems always to oppose MT. Coolidge?
 In the recent Alaska election, the Ketchikan Chronicle says that the election was a repudia- ton Of Frank Foster who it says IS now trying to be a second boss Shackleford.
 But the Juneau Empire says the election was declaration Of independence on the part of the "wllites' who by their votes have repudiated the 'Indian boss" But how explain the de- feat of Grigsby, and Hardcastle, and Gaffney, and Judson, and Samson, all standard bearers of the Empires gang of white col- Jared Whatnots in the federal brigade and it's sycophantic, toe-kissing politicians.
 We wonder what these editOri- al writers would have said when Abraham Lincoln was defeated hv Stephen Douglas in his con- test for Senator from Illinois.
 Was that repudiation of Abra- lam Lincoln?
 Was that vote for the in- stitution of slavery?
 We still must keep our feet on the grcund and realize that the white rcople Of Alaska will yet

Michel and Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Hirzel. The taxicab collided with
the car of Mr.. and Mrs. Aizywos-
inski, of 113 Bird street, Whining
ton, who were accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Frederick S. Hwy, of
PIP West street, Wilmington, Airy
wosinski was driving the car. Dix
had his left arm caught in the
crash and so badly was it mangled
it was necessary to perform an
operation to amputated it soon af-
ter he arrived at the hospital. Dix
was the most seriously hurt. The
others received slight bruises and
cuts and after they were bandaged
up and treated, they were dis
charged. The accident at this
curve in the road near Mr. Mofitt's
farm is one of a number that has
taken place in recent years. Just
why, has never been definitely de-
termined, but citizens are of the
opinion that when the dual high
way comes down this way, this
road becoming one way traffic
down the State, will largely elimi-
nate accidents on this curve.

DOVER POSTNLASTERSHIP UP
B. F. Simmons Expected TO Be
Named to Succeed Himself

The term of the Dover postmas-
Ter, B. F. Simmons, expired last
March, and no intimation as to a
successor has been heard for many
months. During the last session
Of the Legislature and after its ad-
journment in April, it was suppos-
ed that Representative E. E. Ben
son of Dover, would be named, but
no action has been taken. Mr.Sim-
mons, who had made a good official
is expected to be named to succeed
himself. Down at Camden polite
ians are concerned over a rumor
that the present postmaster at
Camden, Stephen r. Miller, might
not be reappointed when his term
expires in January and that resi-
dent of Rising Sun two miles dis
tant might be names as Miller's
successor. Members of the Repub-
lican county organization of Kent
county when approached concern
ing the reported change, denied
that the organization was present
ing a candidate from Rising Sun
but had but little to say about the
possibility of Miller's reappoint-
ment. Miller, who has held the of
fee full term is an applicant for
re-appointment.
