BRANDON PLAYS
AN ATTORNEY ROLE

The big scene in 1.-THE Other
Wife, modern melodrama, is when
a defense attorney addresses a jury
asking for the acquittal of his client
for murder.
No jury, court, judge or court
room is present. BY a clever stage
lighting scheme only, Philip Bran
don as the attorney is seen and
heard in his closing argument for
his client.
This is unique and is the strongest
factor in favor of this play. This
scene is novelty and is well and
sincerely done by Brandon.
The attorney in this case is I'M
usual. He is a big success and hap
PLY married for eighteen years.
Then his first wife (whom he had
not divorced but thought she was
dead when she deserted him) re-
appears and demands that he re-
inState her as his wife in his
wealthy home.
The attorney goes to the door
with revolver to kill the woman
who would destroy his happiness. I
will not tell you more of the story
because it will ruin your pleasure.
Mildred Hastings does fine piece
of character work as the first wife.
Her makeup is different than any,
thing she has attempted.
Milton Byron has the role of the
old man who is acquitted of MUIR

acting.

Taps Were Sounded for 279
Indiana Veterans of

Indiana'S Grand Army of the Re-

345 members on the January roll,
representing ninety-four posts. In
1890, there were 493 posts in Indi-
ana with membership of $4,000.
Taps were sounded for 279 of the
Civil war veterans during 1881 and
eight local posts were abandoned.
OF the remaining ninety-four posts,
many have but two or three mem

At Bentonville, Centerville. Lynn,
Lewis and Kendallville a single
member keeps the post still on the

The organization was started in
Indiana shortly after the Civil war
by General r. S. Foster. Major
Oliver Wilson and Captain ]. r,
Carnahan. Following the course of
the national organization, it died
out few years later.

BARROW LEADS
FIGHT TO SAVE
YOUNG SLAYER
Slated to Make Dramatic
Plea for McWiIIiamS
Before High Court.

~ CNtffN BfeS6
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 49,
The Illinois supreme court gave
Russell McWilliams, II, Rockford,
slayer of street car motorman, his
last chance today to escape death
by electrocution. Hearings were set
on the appeal of the youths case.
Clarence Darrow, veteran criminal
attorney, was in Springfield, ready
TO argue all week, If necessary"
against the extremity of the punish
ment ordered for McWilliams.
Darrow arrived here Monday and
secluded himself. He had stricken
all other engagements from his cal
endar this week to appear in the
McWilliams case as a volunteer.
McWilliams is in the state prison
at Joliet, in narrow cell, whose
iron cot stands between walls on
which hang photographs of his
mother and of an unidentified wom-
man who has been his benefactress.
Once before, Darrow pleaded for
the youths life, but the state board
Of pardons and parole recommended
that McWilliams pay the extreme
penalty. and Governor Louis L. En-
merson concurred.
Darrow's chief weapon before the
prison board was the argument that
McWiliams was too young.
Before the supreme court, reversi-
BILE errors in the trial are cited.
Stress also is expected to be laid
on the undisputed fact that McWil-
liams had no robbery motive. He
was working steadily and had col
lected his wages on the Saturday
that he drank a bottle of gin and
tried to hold up William Sayles,
street car motorman.

BORAH'S BOOST
LED HOOVER TO
NAME CARDOzO
Convinces President That
Nation Needs New York
Man on High Bench.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-AI-
though President Herbert Hoover
sought the advice of all factions in
the senate before appointing Judge
Benjamin N. Cardozo to the SUI
preme court, it was learned today
that Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho had a large part in con-
vincing the President that the New
York jurist should be named.
After comforting with Majority
Leader James E. Watson of Indiana
and Senator David Reed of Penn
sylyania, both of whom said Car
dozo's nomination would be emf
emily satisfactory, Hoover called
Borah to the White House late Sun
day evening.
Borah is Called In
The President previously had
expressed his recognition of Car
dozo's ability, but he feared that
nomination of third New Yorker
might raise objections in the sem
ate.
The Presidents choice Sunday
had narrowed to Senators Thomas
F. Walsh Dem., Mont.) and Jo-
seph T. Robinson Dem., Ark.),
Newton D. Baker of Ohio, Cardozo,
Judge William S. Kenyon Of Iowa,
Judge Orie L. Phillips of New Mex
leo and Judge James of California.
The first four are Democrats and
the last three Republicans.
Borah, however, told Hoover that
a man of Cardozo's ability trans
cended geographical and political
lines, and that such objections could
hold against him no more than
they could have held against John
Marshall.
Expect Early Confirmation
Chief Justice Hughes of New
York, the senator continued, was
a nationwide character, while JUS
tice Harlan Stone, the other New
York man on the bench, was salts
factory to all sections.
"The people of Idaho" Borah is
reported to have said, would prefer
to have their laws interpreted by
a Cardozo to any man from their
own state.
Prompt confirmation Of the nomi-
nation is expected, as no opposition
has been voiced from any senatorial
group.

knowing that any living they get from the coun- try must come from it's resources. There are many millions of acres of undeveloped mineral country which have not even been scraped There are other resources that are just laying idle and going to waste
 The citizens and others who come to Alaska during any era of prosperity come only as vaca- tionists. They come to the country and to get out of it as much as they can in short time as possible. The citizens who come during the present period of economic distress will be hardier citizens who will work with the determination to live on the resources of the land to develop them while so doing Those should be invited to come and every effort should be made to augment mi grafton to Alaska. It is time that there was bit of vision used in the development of the Territory and that there was spirit of optimism rather than the down-hearted, long faced pessimistic attitude which is adopted and which drives out prospective settlers.

THE WAR IS OVER

Somewhere the statement is made that it costs six cents per day per person to feed group Of school children in the states and it costs 30 cents per day to feed similar group in Alaska. Going up and down the coast looking into the prices of commodities one cannot but agree that prices in Alaska are not excusable in some localities.
 Wrangell has been in the doldrums for a number of years due to the discriminatory reguia- tons of the fisheries bureau Trollers have desired to stay there during the winter but they find that on virtually every article they pay than they have to pay at Ketchkan and Juneau. They go where they can buy most for their money In one town off the main line of travel Utah coal sold at 90 cents per sack for 125 pounds of coal fisher man went to a mainline town and paid SIPS a sack for the same coal. It has been pointed out that this differential runs pretty much the same all along the line with the general run of com modities.
 The war is over with all it's attendant war prices. Rents which called for war values today are out of proportion Those dealers who have got- ten rid of their war stocks and at loss are mak- ing bit of money on the new lower priced con- 1nodities. Certainly dealer cannot make money on labor group that is not earning or whose earnings are too low to permit purchase of high price commodities. ,.

THE ALASKA FISHERMAN

told No doubt about it. Instead of the various papers and the territorial officials inviting pros pective settlers to stay out of the Territory, why not invite them in and give them opportunity to living and at the same time develop the territory
 When 27,000 fishermen are engaged in fishing, it will mean that at least 1000 others will be de- pendent upon that labor. The population of the territory would be augmented to approximately 900 instead of 6O0O0.
 Remember always that resident labor builds permanently with the idea of building up it's home and home town. That population of 12OO00 permanently building their homes will draw other interests and manufactures so that the country will develop by leaps and bounds. The vision of the canning system has been to can the most salmon in the shortest time at the lowest price to sell at the highest. They are paying the penalty for their lack of business acumen and proper vision The idea of getting rich off the land to get out of the country to spend it is not vision that rceans for the permanent development of the country. Of the several newsprints in Alaska if they all or ony one of them started business with such limited vision they all would long since have closed up their shops and moved to other clinnes
 The fishing industry continues employing cheap labor, importing oriental problems and nor- resident fishermen to the exclusion of residents. The Bureau of Fisheries is giving every protection to the monopolstic corporations and through it's administrative powers gives every assistance in destroying the earning power of resident labor IL is high time that the white collar interests of the territory learned its lesson and take the situation by the horns and make immediate change. It can continue exist unless and until it does take hand in forcing such change. The results vii!
 
 that there will be an immediate change. The territory will grow by leaps and bounds and the serious aspects of the present situation will be entirely removed.
