Boats Collide In Harbor

Damage estimated at more
 than $1,000 was sustained by the power boat Scandia, owned
 by Nick Kristovich, Tombstone
 Bay fisherman, as a result of a
 collision with the Wills Navi-
 gation Company motorship Za-
 pora early Saturday morning.
 The accident occurred off the
 mouth of Salmon river shortly after the Zapora left the Fly der dock on it's way to Ketchi- kan.
 Account to an account of the incident given by MT. Kristo- vich, he was towing small raft of logs up the Canal short ly after midnight and was only few hundred feet of the west shore near the big point when the Zapora bore down on him, coming from the Canadian side of the Canal. Kristovich says that although it was a clear, moonlit night, the larger ves- sel was so close to the bluff that he feared the commander did not realize his proximity to the shore so he stopped the Scandia and threw the rays of his searchlight onto the rocks to warn the Zapora's skipper. By this time, he says, the yes sells were so close together, with the Zapora heading at high speed directly toward the Scandia, that he suddenly real ized that a collision was al- most inevitable. Kristovich and his companion, P. Berg, thereupon made for a rowboat lowed astern of the Scandia. A few moments after embark ing, the Scandia and Zapora came together with a heavy impact which shattered the up- per bow, forward decking and pilot house of the Scandia, but fortunately failed to sink the craft, although some of the seams were sprung, making it necessary to pump at frequent intervals. After striking, the Zapora swung around his yes sel and headed down the Canal but returned a few minutes later and a wordy altercation ensued between her command CT and himself regarding who was to blame, Kristovich says.
 The Scandia was later able to proceed to the dock under her own power but at last accounts was being kept afloat only by frequent pumping.

That strange. slow hate began to
boil in Joe Barry anew. giving strength
to-the weakened beating of his heart.
Then 1t was the turn of Fullhouse.

glasses; kind of light. sandy-haired
man and bald"
You're liar" Joe Barry screamed
it. Fullhouse shrugged his shoulders.
How'd know what you wanted
him to look like?' he asked. Maybe
We were looking at different people.
That's the one | saw"
The haze closed In again; pierced
by new questions as soon as Fullhouse
and Louie were gone
Pete hunched his chair closer to
the table. He asked his every ques-
ton over again. only to receive the
same old. dull answers Then he
came TO one which he evidently had
been saving.
Now sport you seemed a little
touchy last night about one particular
matter. Suppose we take it up again?
Where were You all day yesterday"
Joe sagged in his chair. He al
lowed his tired, sanded eyelids TO
close, and for once. the grlsly things
which he had faced all this horrible
night and day dissipated. He saw the
circus lot, the squat forms of the
mud-colored tents, the banners flying
In the afternoon breeze from the mast
heads atop the poles.
Then there was gllttering thing in
his grasp. calling to him to play It.
There was girl, fair-haired and trim
with slender strength, girl with in
nate trust In the deepness OF her blue
eyes, the tantalizing hint OF warm re-
Spouse upon her lips. the yellow sun
creeping through the vagrant strands
Of her soft, blown hair, and creating
there a golden radiance more precious
than all the money In the world. She
was his girl, whether he ever saw her
again or not, his girl to love in men,
ory and In sacred dreams. his girl of
one day OF happiness. One thing, at
least, could remain with him behind
bars, bright and fragrant and beau
tiful.
Joe Barry opened his eyes and CEN
tered them. His lips became crooked
and ugly.

CHAPTER w

Joe's defiance had anything but a
deterrent effect upon his questioners.
Here was something which he desired
to conceal. therefore 1t was the thing
they desired most to know. But at the
end of an hour. Pete Maxwell spread
his hands against his chest, straight
ened. and strobe away from the table.
Suppose you let the old Bottle and
Stopper have this bird alone for
awhile he said.
When they were alone Pete picked
up his chair and brought 1t to the
side of the prisoner.
Look here. kid he said. Lets
get together"
1t was the first time he had used
that term. Joe looked up. with some
thing of wondermeRt There seemed
to be more Of personal touch to the
detectives tone.
You've been treated in straight,
businesslike manner by men who are
in the business Of finding out who
committed crimes and who haven't
got the slightest interest In anything
else. That's our job. We're given
set OF Jig saws that1l work into some
thing II we can piece them together.
It's what we're paid for, to keep pick
ing up pieces. and hunting for little
angles and curllcues until we've got
the puzzle beat enough to decide that
twelve men ought to hear more about
1t. Most Of the time,' the detective
said quietly, when it's kid like you,
we hope we can't work 1t out"
Joe looked up. His hands half
raised.

Pete Maxwell reached into pocket
and brought forth letter.

began to jerk, spasmodically. Keep

Joe Barry shifted, the first bubbles

cast.


 Violence had three exemplifcations Tuesday All three had just this resemblance-that they were about equally insensate.
 A hurricane smote San Juan group of assas- sins put 54 slugs into the body of the President of the Cuban Senate. And here in Massachusetts a bomb wrecked the dwelling of Judge Thayer who presided at the Sacco-Vanzett trial
 The devastation of the hurricane was in itself no novelty-save to where it should strike. It is the season of the year when, meteorology has long since shown, the winds are prone to be- have in ruthless fashion in the semi-tropics There is seeming caprice, but there is no wicked voton in these forces of nature
 Assassination the attempt at it, as wholly human manifestation, is something else again. deliberate, perverted and senseless The political murderers in Havana apparently sought to apply technique of American gangsters to Cuban politics Affairs in economically unhappy Cuba are in state of unrest but the wonder remains as to what possible benefit or what shred of argument there lay in such performance.
 Even do bewiderment and repugnance rise at the shock of the outrage which simply by chance merely injured slightly two women in the home of the Sacco-Vanzetu Judge The utterly innocent the sole physical victims-which simply goes to illustrate further how devoid of all reason was the deed
 If that deed other than the act of men, tally deranged individual, if it had any semblance of Communist 'reprsal" for the States solemn act of seven years ago, there is further demonstrated a perverted mentality. It proves" nothing but a stupid malign hatred The real target for such a bomb is the State and society
 So the State is put to further task of police protection for those of it's servants who had any official duty to perform in the famous case. And it is clear that such vigilance cannot be relaxed. Meanwhile it is again shown how absurd is the logic of the would-be assassin, how senseless is resort to human violence.

THE VETS HAVE A REMEDY.

Al Smith in his New Outlook predicts that the dTys will engage in stalling campaign to defeat the will of the people on Prohibition He intmates that they will use their strength in Congress to promote contentious among the vets regarding the wording of the repeal amendment when it is sub mited and the terms of the Volstead Act modified ton and thereby prevent the adoption of any sort of legislation notwithstanding that the people are known to want change The plan is to get the vets to defeat themselves by fighting over details.
 As if to prove the guess of MT. Smith to be correct Bishop Cannon addressed letters to Presi- commit themselves on the details of their plans if propose to keep the saloons out; how they expect to protect the dry States from importatons from wet States, etc, etc
 Of course Bishop Cannon is not asking his ques- tons in good faith He is simply trying to promote confusion so that befudded Congressmen might not understand clearly where they are at
 Possibly if the vets win the election they might have to adopt Al Smiths suggestion that if the drys refuse to meet the situation fairly Congress will be forced to refuse to make appropriations for the enforcement of the Vostead Act. Either branch of Congress could do that without consent of the other or the President and Prohibition would fail flat It takes money to continue the attempts to enforce Prohibition If repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and modification of the Volstead Act should fail because of this sort of procedure by the drys Congress would be amply justified in cutting out Prohibition enforcement and bringing the issue up in such way that it would be absolutely necessary to take steps to carry out in prac- ticable mahner the will of the people.

MIR. HOOVER WILL PROBABLY FAIL
 THEM.

famous newspaper writer says the Republican leaders at Washington admit that Gov. Roosevelt is leading now but they are hoping that President Hoover will be able to change things with an eleventh hour drive. He thinks, however, that an eleventh hour movement could scarcely be so ef- fectve after what the voters have been through
 The voters realize that President Hoover has had more than three years in which to apply some reme- dies for the distracted state of affairs There have been three years of waiting in vain on President Hoover to do something. Meanwhile the country has gone from bad to worse It is due to those three years of failure that Gov. Roosevelt is now admittedly leading because of lack of faith in the President This wearing, down of Hoover has taken a long time-so long there has become an ingrained

If I raise it a thousand, will you keep within it?"
 ''No-r can't. It's no good pre- tending that can. If Uncle Am brose had known you were going to marry someone else, he'd have left me properly provided for. He talked about it once before we were engaged, and he said he'd leave me hundred thousand"
 What's the good of talking like that?"
 Give me that hundred thou sand and let me clear out. I don't bring you very good luck-do I? Well, let me clear out. I've got a good opening that I could take if I'd some captal. Let me go, and I've an idea that it'll be better for all of us" | My dear Rosamund," said Jer- wis, "Ill see you at Pericho before I'll give you hundred thousand dollars!"
 "Jericho?" Rosamund said, You won't get rid of me as easily as that. You'd better thing again. second thoughts are best"
 Jervis laughed.
 I'm afraid might think for ever without your getting any nearer that hundred thousand. And now I think we'll go back to the others
 He turned as he spoke and set a brisk pace back along the path. RcSamund walked beside him in silence. Just as they came to where the shade ended she laugh ed and said.
 "It would have saved a lot of trouble if we had married each other-wouldnt it?"
