Delay Filing Venue Motion
Attorneys were given an oppor-
tuntiy to file a motion for change
of venue by Baker, and the state
said no objection would be en-
tered.
"We do not care to file such mo-
ton at this time" Eph Inman told
Baker.
When Barrett referred to the
courts statement that Baker had
talked with Vehling several months
ago, Baker declared:
II met Vehling in the courthouse
basement after reading one or two
newspaper articles. I told him it
was a reflection on his conduct and
if he were not violating the law,
it was all right, but if he were, I'd
send him to prison as soon as any
other man.
These are my convictions.
Charge Of law violation against q
public Office holder is serious. If
officials and attorneys can not be
| trusted, then man is in bad way"
File in Circuit Court
Attorneys for Vehling also filed
an abatement plea in circuit court,
where impeachment proceedings are
pending. First hearing is set be-
fore Judge Harry o. Chamberlin
next Monday.
This plea sets out that similar
charges are on file in Johnson
county against Vehling and the first
case holds the preference.
vehling is charged with seeking
$3.50 from relatives of Benjamin
Stickel, gas victim. He is alleged to
have threatened to alter the death
verdict unless paid the amount.
County commissioners dropped
their resignation demands against
Vehling today, after receiving an
opinion from Charles Clarke, coun-
ty attorney, that since Vehling's post
is elective they have no authority
to demand his withdrawal.
Il have nothing to worry about"
Vehling said after the court session.
MY attorneys will take care of it"

!. CANCER TEST
BY CHARLES FLICK
Copyright. 1889, by International
News Service)

BERLIN, Dec. 16.-Renewed
efforts were made by two German
scientists today to keep secret
progress of their cancer treatment
experiment, exclusively revealed
by international News Service
Tuesday. in, which a 2,50o, 900, volt
X-ray was used upon a patient
suffering from the disease in a
shopeleSsly advanced stage.
The patient, Heinrich Wanke,
55-year-old farmland, was moved
secretly to a top-floor room in the
private women'S clinic to which
he was taken after voluntarily
Subjecting himself to the revolu-
.tionary treatment in the labora-
tory of Germany'S largest electri-
cal concern.
;. Although the patient was being
kept under lock and key, it was
reported that his condition was
favorable. None of the physicians
who participated in the expert
ment has visited him since Tues
day, but all have been in constant
communication with the head
nurse of the clinic.
Indications were that the scien-
lists expected some time to elapse
before definite results of the ex-
pertinent could be determined.

WALKER CROWS
GLUM ON GAIN
IN WEIGHT

CAP D'ANTIBES, France, Dec.
16 uN.S0.-Gain a pound and
lose a wisecrack.
Jimmy Walker. ex-mayor Of
New York, is putting on weight,
but he's losing his sense of
.humor. $751;.
According to local dieticians,
who are among the few to get a
word with him. the ex-mayor
rarely makes a crack and catches
jokes only on the upbound now.
Funny Bone Suffers
Contrary to the old-time saying
that fat man is always jolly,
with every hollow that fills out
IN Jimmy'S cheeks, a deeper hole
Is sunk in his funny-bone.
Even Frank Scully, who is to
help him with his memoirs, is
looking anxious and understood
to be counselling the former
mayor to LAY off the early to
ped. early to rise racket and get
back to night-life."
Walker himself refuses to say
anything about his proposed lit
erary effort, but it is understood
he and his assistant, accompanied
by Betty Compton and probably
her mother, will move into the
Alps in the near future and hide
out for at least two months while
writing.
Betty Is His Caddy
Walker at present is leading q
Eedate, easy-going life. Up at
eight he plays a round or two of
golf every morning after an
American breakfast. He is al
ways accompanied by Betty, who
acts as his caddy.
Lunching quietly in the hotel
with Betty and her mother, he
drives around in the afternoon,
or plays golf. He dimes in a diff
terent restaurant every night.
But the hotel staff says he is
always back in bed by 10 o'clock.

 : up her teaching position here last December.
 Miss Tait was one of those rare people who could fit into almost any situation on a mis- sion field. She knew not only how to train the intellect but the hand and heart as we'll. Those who worked with Miss Tait fully appreciated her de- votion to her pupils. She was always whole heartedly behind any effort to help the boys and girls prepare for life. Her great est interest, however, was jn helping each pupil learn the Christian way of living and of having each one come to a sense iof responsibility for carrying to others the truths learned. One outstanding characteristic of her. work was her unlimited patience. No student ever failed to make good because of a lack of opportunity or effort on her part.
 Miss Tait's interest was not confined to the work of the school. During the entire period of her life in Sitka she con- ducted Sunday School in the village. Here she gave the same loving, self-sacrifcing service as that which marked all other efforts. Her influence, al D. was felt in the villages along the en- tire coast of Southeastern Alas ka.
 Perhaps no more sincere praise can be given than that written by one of her pupils, From the first the School felt her strong personality as a good teacher. She was tirelesS and cheerful in her efforts in any thing she undertook. In the classroom, she was liked by everyone, and her departure is deeply felt by all with whom she was associated"

appreciate what the convention


 appreciate what the convention system represents.
 The old party convention sys- tenn consisted of party con- yention to be held at some de- signated place at which sixty delegates were supposed to be present from each of the four Divisions, or total representa- tion of 240. One needs not have the distances described nor the expense to which delegates must go to attend such conven tions so that usually only a scant handful of delegates would meet from each Division. The balance of the representation being sent by proxy which was usually carried by one or two persons, who controlled the con- vention.
 It is told that Jaffet Linder- f'erg of Nome gave Charley Her ron $10,000 to go to Nome by dog team and return to Fair banks thence on to Juneau where he delivered 120 proxies from the Second and Fourth Divisions to Louis Shakleford, republican boss of the territory. Shakleford with one vote con- trolled the whole party. In 1912 the Democrats held a conven- tion in Valdez when Tom Dona- hoe, Judge Jennings, A. J. Daley and others were said to have spent half a night forging prox : .cs from distant precincts, which were properly accepted by the credentials committee even though the committee knew the proxies were false. Proxies were bought and sold like hogs in a raarket-Weak men were induc- cd to vote for measures, blanks and platforms which they did not understand; to support men who prostituted their own honor in order that they might rule the political affairs of the Territory.

MISS TAFT, MY TEACHER
Gilbert Wilson '32

A pupil in Miss Tait's classes had to be thoroughly prepared for she strictly observed wheth- CT a boy or girl had done the work we'll. This, I believe, was one of the fine points of Miss Tait as a teacher.
 Aside from this she was kind, cheerful, and ever so happy whenever we finished an extra good lesson. Sometimes she would come to us personally and tell Us Of the good work we had done which thus stirred in us the determination to achieve in whatever line of work we were doing.
 One of the characteristics of her tireless efforts as a teacher that I also noted was her joy of teaching. She was always on time whenever she was to teach and always prepared. Tn her hand she carried an outline of the lesson she was to teach.
 Miss Tait was not only a teacher in school. She also dl- rected our Senior Christian Endeavor Society and conducted the Sunday School in the village.
 Thus the strong personality of Miss .Tait as a good teacher in fiuenced us greatly during the time she was here and I know in the future we will still be under her influence because of her character as a good teacher and the ideal life that she lived here among us.
 Gilbert Wilson '32 NOTE-This was one of the splendid Y, tributes paid at a chapel service held at Sheldon Jackson School, March T, 1882 in memory of Miss Tait.

The halibut fleet is pretty much diSgusted with the prices received for the fares of halibut brought in. The prices were so low that the. fishermen are prev- ty much dissatisfied as they are getting no returns for their labor or investment. But, wha: else can they do? Too much fish in storage, too much being brought in-no money with which to buy higher priced fish when meat and eggs are priced lower where money is scarce

 Some of the hand trollers are planning to start out for the trolling camps. The big question they are asking is What price will We get for king salmon?"

Coke Hill and debated him on the subject Hill for retention of the pri-- mary and Dimond for it's repeal And the reception accorded Hill was gracious and spontaneous while even MT. Dimond's friends were rather cool in their recep- ton of their candidate who de- sires to take elective franchise from the voters just to place that authority in the hands of the political racketeers whose power in the territory is waning and which therefore needs bols- fering up by repeal of the pri- mary law.
