Sheldon Jackson School Students Glue Work in
 Red Cross First Aid

SITKA, Alaska, Jan. 16.-On Fri day evening, in the gymnasium of the Sheldon Jackson School, four teams composed of pupils who had completed the standard course in National Red Cross First Aid, gave practical demonstration show ing what they had accomplished in twenty lesson periods, covering fifteen hours of concentrated train- ing under Miss Meda Knowlton, who had been delegated by the San Francisco office to teach the course
 There were sixteen young men and women participating, and ten communities, including Point Bar TOW and Craig, were represented. The standard course which they had complsted taught them how to handle any accident or injury. It is felt by the staff at the school that much good has been accom- plished in view of the fact that in many communities a nurse or physician is not readily available.
 The First Aid course was not compulsory The work was done |on club nights, when the young people could have spent their time lin relaxation
 Examinations were held by Dr. Hugh G. Nicholson, local examiner for the Red Gross.

Another Outbreak of Hog ChOl-
era in County is Checked

Another primary outbreak of hog
cholera was discovered among a pen
of pigs belonging to M. V. Kildow,
and as result probably ten of them
will be lost to the owner.
DR.. o. K. Hoffman, federal veteri-
marian from Hagerstown, came to
Oakland Monday at the request of j.
H. Carter, county agent, to verify his
diagnosis. DR.. Hoffman stated that
the disease was due to the feeding of
infected meat scraps. One animal
had died and several others were sick
before it was feared what the trouble
might be.
No further danger is expected. In
discussing the symptoms, Mr.. Carter
stated that as soon as the hog re-
fused to eat, the owner should begin
checking up on possible causes of
this, because one of the causes is the
beginning of hog cholera.

MEMORIAL HELD in COURT
IN HONOR OF E. Z. TOWER
Memorial Presented at Meeting
of Court Officials Following
Charge to Grand Jury
BRIEF ADDRESSES MADE

A memorial service in honor of the
late Edward q. Tower, for more than
half century connected with the Of
flee of Clerk of the Circuit Court for
this county, as deupty clerk and later
as the chief Clerk of the court, was
held on Monday morning in the court
room following the delivery of the
charge to the grand jury by Associate
Judge Albert A. Doub.
Resolutions were presented by F.
A. Thayer, a member of a committee
appointed by the Bar Association.
E. R. Jones and W. R. Offutt deliv-
cred short addresses in honor of the
deceased. Judges D. Lindley Sloan,
A. A. Doub and Frank G. Wagaman,
also spoke, paying high tribute to the
late Mr.. Tower as a citizen and pub
lie official.
The resolutions, printed herewith,
after their presentation by Mr..
Thayer were ordered spread upon the
minutes of the Court, thus becoming
a public and permanent record.
The preamble and resolutions were
as follows:
Death, always an unwelcome Wis
itor, has again obtruded his dread
presence among US and has taken one
whom the citizens of this county felt
was almost indispensable in the office
which he so satisfactorily filled for
many years-Edward 2. Tower, late
Clerk of this Court.
While Mr.. Tower was member of
this bar, he never engaged in the
active practice of law. Early in life,
before any member of this bar now
present was admitted thereto, he en-
tered the Clerks office of this Court,
first as recording clerk; then as dep
uty clerk under hist ather, the late
William H. Tower; then upon the
death of the latter was elevated to the
office of Clerk of this Court by ap-
pointment of the Court. From thence
on, without a break, he was elected
and reelected to that position for
each succeeding term, and held the
same at the time of his death: an I'M
interrupted occupancy of said office
in said several capacities for more
than fifty years. For forty-fve years
thereof he was Clerk of the Court,
which no doubt is a record in the
State of Maryland, and attested his
popularity.
Mr.. Tower was a most efficient,
courteous and obliging clerk, always
willing and ready to furnish the most
humble citizen seeking it such infor-
nation as the records of his office
disclosed. The Office, under his adj
ministration, was not only managed
with skill and efficiency, but with
great courtesy and assistance to the
members of this bar and with proper
respect to the Court; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That in the death OF
Mr.. Tower this county has lost a val
liable and efficient public servant; our
town has lost a good citizen; this bar
has lost member and friend, and his
family kind, affectionate and indul-
gent husband and father; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That the sympathy of
this Court and the bar be extended
to the members of his family and that
this preamble and resolutions be
spread upon the records of this Court
and copy thereof be given to his
widow.

TAXI MEN ATTACK
TAX ON j. S. ROADS
Action Would Hurt Trade of
Federal Concessions,
They Declare.

The taxation of taMcabs using the
Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard and
the Federal roads in the District was
attacked in a long document filed today
with E. N. Chisolm, jr., acting director
Of the Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks, by the Independent Taxi
cab Owners Association.
For the Government to levy such a
tax would be ito bite the hand that
feeds concessionnaires of the Office OF
Public Buildings and Public Parks" the
association maintained.
Points to Patrons.
Taking advantage of an opportunity
to file additional information to that
question recently Harry c. Davis, presi-
dent of the association, pointed out that
taXiCabs are what supply patrons for
the various sports centers, tea rooms
and the like operated either directly by
the parks office or through concession
narieS. He said that to put up the cost
Of taXicab service would be to cut down
profits through these sources.
Mr.. Davis also pointed out that there
Is no maximum for the charges to b.
made by the conceSsionaireS for the
goods or services they sell to the public
from public space, and concluded that
it is unfair to add to the already heavy
taxes now paid by the taxicab industry
Charging the tourist business ha,
practically developed into monopoly,
Mr.. Davis claimed the added tax or
taXicabs would aggravate the situation
Substitute Suggested.
AS a substitute for the added tax fol-
the use of the Federal highways, the
letter suggested the installation of cal
boxes for taXicabS in public space, t
be rented to the taxicab industry at 6
price enough to take in what would bt
taken in by the proposed tax.

ments of artillery were taking part in
the action, according to the official an
nOuncement.
Before the battle, communique was
issued it was said the leaders OF the
government, were hemmed Ill and ask
ing for parley.
An official of the Ministry of War re-
ported that the attack had become gen.
eral with an artillery duel predominant
ing. Two rebel artillery pieces were
struck by shells and silenced. Rebel
machine guns kept upa constant fire
against accommodating airplane with
out hitting it.
Troops attacking from the north
were still eight kilometerS from Quito
this evening.
An intercepted radio report said
there was fighting in the streets of the
capital This was believed to indicate
a popular move against the rebels.
This information was contained in
the first dispatches received from the
capital since the revolt occurred Satur-
day At that time part of the regular
Quito garrison gained control Of the
city after heavy fighting.
President Elect Barred.
The rebels were supporting the move
ment of BonifaZ who was elected PreSi-
dent last Fall and was to take office
next month. The provisional govern
ment of President Moreno, however,
argued that BonifaZ was ineligible be-
cause he was born of Peruvian parent
age. Congress agreed with him last
month.
President Moreno was reported to
have taken refuge in the Argentine le-
cation at Quito. The rebels were said
to be under the command of Col. Jose

Santo. former president of the Cham
Der of Deputies and Carlos Freile Lerra,
both prominent in the Bonifaz party,
were in charge of the new provisional
