Work is to commence in the spring on a courthouse build ,ng in Hyder, according to Mai. or George D. Beaumont, United States Marshal for the First Di vision.
 The building is to be erected on the site selected this fall by Deputy Marshal Mcdonald, be- tween the two lots cleared by the Pioneers in the spring of 1920 at Cottonwood and Fifth streets, forest reserve addition. The building is to cost in the neighborhood of $1O,OOO, ex- elusive of heating plant and. fixtures. It will house the con- missioner's office, marshaPs of flee and living quarters, jail and district court room. The last is considered necessary, as. in the opinion of the officials, Hyder will soon attain suffic- tent population to necessitate the holding of district court sessions here.

New Years Day

January 1, marking the be- ginning of of the year, has been observed as a public holiday for many centuries, certainly in Rome since the reformation of the calendar by Julius Caesar in the century before Christ.
 Owing to the confusion in dates which has resulted from the imperfections of various calendars, which caused skip ping of dates at various times, New Years Day may be said to be merely an arbitrary desig- nation. AS late as 1752 the adoption of the Gregorian cal endar by England and the American colonies caused a skip of II days.
 However, regardless of the day designated as New Years at various times and in various countries, it has been generally observed as a holiday. The Romans celebrated it with pro- sessions, abandonment of liti- gation and strife, exchanging of visits and of gifts, feasting and merrymaking. Early fath- CTS of the Christian church did not approve of these festivi- ties, but recommended that the day be devoted to meditation, scripture reading and works of charity.
 But about the fourth century. when December 25 had been agreed upon for the observance of Christ's nativity, New Years Day, falling one week later, began to assume a sacred char acter as the anniversary of the circumcision ,and as such it | still figures in the calendars of | certain branches of the church. |
 Other religious faiths, such as | the Mohammedan and Jewish, | have their own calendars, with ! distinctive holidays and festi- vals, in which their New Years Day has a corresponding sig nificance to that of Christen- dom. 1
 Among all it is considered an day for reviewing the events of the previous year, the making of new re- solves and the adoption of plans for the future. It is also the occasion for the expression of good wishes. We join in the spirit of the day in wishing all a happy New Year.

Staying Story
Still Unshaken
CONTINUED From Page II

the strain of a three-monthS ordeal
still remained the highlight of the
trial as DarroW began Summoning
minor witnesses.
Like a ponderous switch engine.
Prosecutor John c. Kelly pounded
down the various mental tracks of
MassieS mind, switching rapidly
from one point of the testimony to
another in an attempt to trip him.
Always a closed signal met the
prosecutor as he approached the
subject of MaSsie's "blackout."
Over and over he repeated the
story-hoW he wanted a confession
of the attack from KahahaWai to
quiet unkind rumors about Mrs.
MasSie, and so spirited the native
to Mrs. Fortescue's cottage; how
he held gun to "frighten" Kaha-
hawai-, who at last said, Yes, we
done it."
Il don't know what happened
next" Massie insisted. THE next
thing knew, policemen in uniforms
were taking me to the station.
KahahaWai, they told me, was
dead"
DR.. Paul Wilmington, who attend
ed Mrs. Massie after the attack,
testified her husband visibly lost
weight and was near collapse. Ma
jor Gordon Ross, high sheriff of
Oahu, said Massie told him Kaha-
hawai- was ready to crack" and
asked the officer to question him.
Attorney Eugene H. Beebe veri-
fled the navy officers statement
that he was advised a confession
from one of the attackers was the
only means Of silencing the ugly
rumorS
Darrow nearly approached an
other climax in his case when he Of
fered to put on Drs. E. H. Williams
and James Orbison, defense alien
lists, to avoid delaying the trial.
He said this would be out of the
order of his witnesses, but on Judge
Charles S. Davis admonition he
promised to be ready today. The
psychiatrists will testify as to Mas
sizes mental state at the time he
admittedly held the gun" and
Kahahawai was shot to death.
Leo Artman, navy chief quarter
master who wore many gold arm
stripes, was the last defense witness
yesterday. He attacked Kelley's
claim that the Staying was premedi-
tated by testifying a piece of rope
found around The natives neck was
obtained by Massie month before
the native died.

Seek Removal
Of Gangsters
Continued From Page II

Frank James led witnesses at the
court hearings.
Three weeks ago. Peoples tes-
titled, II learned there were four
Chicago men in Los Angeles. They
were said to be members of
Sheldon's old gang, and they were
in Los Angeles to take Sheldon
from the Jail. I placed special
guards on duty.
"A week ago, I received informa-
ton that attempts to release Shell
don by a iailbreak had been con-
sidered impossible. But the four
men we're to kidnap me as 1 left
the Jail, take me back to my office
on the tenth floor and force me to
release Sheldon, Frank and RADIO
vich.
Last Saturday I received au-
thentic information that two gun
men were coming from San Fran
cisco to Los Angeles on Monday
1t seemed the gang had given up
the idea of working on me alone.
They were going to kidnap
Sheriff Traeger, or Undersheriff
Biscailuz, or both. and hold them
as hostage until the three men
were released from the county
Jail"
Peoples said he had received
similar reports from Biscailuz
Chief of Detectives Joe Taylor and
James, but when he told Judge
Burnell it would mean the life of
his informant, he was excused from
revealing the source of his
authentic" information.
James testified that he saw in
San Diego, in the possession of a
kidnap victim who had obtained
mis- release by payment of ransom,
letter demanding $500 to fix"
a certain officer to release Sheldon
and Frank James declared he
learned later the money had been
paid.
Sheldon and Frank, assertedly
high in gangdom, were declared to
have boasted they would never
reach prison. Radovich was con-
sidered the most desperate man in
the county Jail.
All three have been held in Los
Angeles on a certificate OF prob
able cause, also known as a stay OF
execution, pending appeal
In addition to the bank robbery
charges, Radovich may be tried in
Oakland for the murder of
deputy sheriff.

Steady liquidation of a group OF
