troduce a bfII In Congress au- thorizing the transfer but the bill has not yet been prepared or in- troduced. The Interior Depart ment says it is hardly in position to make a statement as it does not know the exact nature of the bill to be introduced, but assumes that road appropriations would be turned over to the Interior De- parbment and that work would proceed along established lines and for tine good of Alaska. Rivers and Harbors work is not performed by Alaska Road Commission but by the United States Engineers of flee, although both are presided over by Major Malcolm Elliott. Until the bill is introduced and we are informed by the Senator's office that it is not yet ready for introduction-it is difficult to say what it will contain
 Is Not Measuring
 The statement in the Delegates message that rivers and harfbors work is not performed by the AL aska Road Commission but by the United States Engineers office, although both are presided over by Major Malcolm Elliott is not at all reassuring to members of the Board of Directors of the AL aska Chamber They were aware of the fact stated by the Dele gate. But they apprehend that if road work should be taken away from the War Department, then it would not have any suit able officer in Alaska to entruss with river and har'bor improve ments and these would be put in charge of the United States En- gineer'S Office in Seattle or Port land Tn such event, the work would be subjected to all the evils of delay and Hack of information that are necessarily incident to dis tant administration.

Question of Insanity Arises but Is Ruled Out by
 Judge Davis


 HONOLULU, H. l.. April 18.- Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie, one of the four defendants in the 'honor staying" trial, testified last Satur- day that he confronted Joseph Kahahawai with a pistol at the home of Mrs. Granville Fortescue last January 8.
 The last thing he remembered of the tragedy was the natives al- legged confession of attacking Mrs. Massie.
 The Navy officer took on his sight shoulders responsibility for the killing of Kahahawai and paw cd the way for the insanity de- fense, telling how the attack and the yelled rumors" about his wife goaded him into action.

 Lieut.. Massie said rumors began circulating when it became known Mrs. Massie was in serious con- dition. It was for this reason he undertook to wiring a confession from the Hawaiian and prove the attack charge to the public.
 Lieut.. Massie said he had no intention of killing the Hawaiian at that time but Massie said Kaha- hawai- finally said:
 Yes, I done it.
 Question of Inanity
 At this point of the trial Prose cutting Attorney John c. Kelley in- sisted that Clarence Darrow, vet eran attorney and defense lawyer, name the kind of insanity but Dar- row replied that he did not know. as doctors disagreed on that point.
 Judge Charles J. Davis ruled that Darrow need not attempt to name the insanity and to let the narrative proceed.
 Lieut.. Massie said he remembered nothing from the time Kahahawai confessed attacking Mrs. Massie un- til he was being taken to police headquarters, which was two hours after the body of the Hawaiian had been found in an automobile.
 Mrs. Fortescue, at whose home the confession was secured by Lieut.. Massie, is one of the defendants She is the mother of Mrs. Massie. E. J. Lord and A. O. James, Navy men, are the other two defendants.

'HI-HAT' SUBURB
TRIES TO GUST
NEGRO ACTRESS
Resent Leasing of House by
Adelaide Hall of Black
birds Fame.
BY DELOS SMITH
United Press Stan Correspondent

LARCHMONT, N. Y, Aug. 22.-
The social question of race segre-
cation absorbed this aristocratic
suburb today, as the residents on
exclusive Kiimer road sought some
means to GUST from a palatial home
in their midst, Adelaide Hall, Broad
way prima donna and the Negro
star of such shows as "Blackbirds"
and Brown Buddies."
In the rambling $4,000 home,
the center of dissenSion, the singer
was we'll established, her own furni-
ture placed IN the spacious rooms,
her servants making preparations
to receive her grandmother, her
mother, and her husband. Calmly,
but with determination, she en-
nounced her intention to stay in
the house for ten years, the term
Of her lease, no matter what her
white neighbors might say or 10.
Named for Poet
Joyce Kilmer, the poet of toler-
ance and humility, once lived on
the street and it is named for him.
Kilmer wrote: Poems are made
by fools like me, but only God can
make a tree"
On Sunday afternoon, the Negro
actress sat on her veranda with
few of her friends, slipping drinks
and quietly chatting. Up and down
the street in either direction, shades
were drawn and spacious VerandaS
were empty. They were in pro-
nounced contrast to the gayety of
the stars guests.
Mayor Monroe Stiner said he was
seeking ito bring pressure" to bear
ito get this Harlem singer to change
her mind" He was appealing to
Broadway theatrical executives,
from whom her livelihood comes, to
persuade her to move.
When it was first announced that
she had leased the house and was
going to occupy it, neighbors organ
lied to apply for an injunction.
They consulted a lawyer, but no
court action materialized. 1t was
understood that there was no law
under which they could apply for a
restraining order.
Star Is Defiant
The stage star was defiant. She
knew of the movement against her,
but that made no difference.
L leased this house for ten years
and I'm going to live in it, she said.
I'm a full blooded American COL
ored girl and I'm proud of it. If
there's going to be any court fight,
I'm just waiting for the chance to
put some of the new rich residents
of Larchmont on the witness stand
and ask them how their grand
fathers spelled their names. I am
descended from the Shinnecock In
dams of Long Island and I'm proud
of it,"
Her neighbors had organized
themselves into the Kilmer Road
Association and were seeking some
means of buying her house. An
effort to raise enough money to buy
her lease failed
