Only Two More Days to See the
 Seasons Outstanding Sensation
 "Hcll Divcrs'' With Wallace
 Bcery and Clark Gable at Fox
 POli Palace
 The thrills of naval aviation un- roll themselves in sensational panorama, ss a background for poignant romance, and drama of heroism and sacrifice that has something. of an epic quality to it, in Hell Divers" now playing at the Fox-Poli Palace theater, with Wallace Beery and Clark Gable in the starring roles.
 Thrills pile upon thrills, and all of them genuine thrills, filmed dur ing the actual maneuvers of ships and planes at Panama. One sees the whole navy in action; firing deafening salvos at a sham bat from a giant aircraft carrier to locate and attack a great Zeppelin.
 Planes in Combat
 One sees the "Hell Divers," sen- sational combat planes, hurl them selves downward, two miles in less than half a minute, at their targets. Filmed with the cooperation of the navy, his picture gives a new idea of the navy in the air.
 Many famous navy aviators ap- pear, in addition to a huge and powerful cast. Beery, Gable and Conrad Nagel play the principal male role splendidly; Miss Ram beau, Dorothy Jordan and Marie Provost score in the chief feminine parts.

SMOKE SCREEN IN HONOLULU IS
 CHARGE MADE
Angry Citizens Up in Arms at Alleged Reform
 Movement - Another
 Battle Over Woman
By DAN CAMPBELL

 < Honolulu. T. H., Jan 26.-(UP) Angry citizens charged that Hawaii's reform movement was a political smoke screen" to-day after a near riot of white residents and natives in new disturbance.
 A fight involving a woman, in which a prominent stock broker assertedfy was beaten by navy lieutenant and the latter's brother, caused the latest trouble, police claimed.
 Lieutenant Charles Lynch and his brother, Howard Lynch, nar- row1y escaped a mauling at the hands of a mob of unru1y native youths when they attempted to park their car in front of well known Waikiki Beach tavern last night.
 The Hawaiian youths attempted to drag the brothers from their car. A crowd of several hundred gath cred but at signs of resistance, the natives dispersed.
 The two brothers had just been charged with battery of Earl Will Hams. Honolulu investment broker. He asserted he was attacked at party Sunday after a woman guest asked him for protection, complain ing she had been choked.
 The broker said he asked the brothers to apologize, whereupon they assertedly beat him with cocktail shaker and a, brass vase. Word of the fight was noised about the city. When the brothers ap- peared at the cafe they were met by the Hawaiians
 The name of the woman was not divulged.
 The incident caused widespread revulsion of feeling against the at- tempts of Hawaiian legislators, now in special 'session, to redraft law enforcement regulations.
 The session was called by Cover nor Lawrence M. Judd after young native, Joe Kahahawai, re- gently tried on charges of attacking navy officers young bride, had been Kidnapped and slain.
 Four persons were arrested on charges of murder-Mrs Granville Fortescue, mother of the attack victim, Lieutenant (JG) Thomas H. Massie, the girls husband, and E. J. Lord, and Albert o. Jones, navy enlisted men.
 The case led Washington author ities to demand an investigation of island conditions. First efforts of the legislators. wherein they adopt ed bill placing the police depart menft under control of a commits sion, won approval of official Wash ington. .I
 But we'll informed citizens charg- ed to-day that the bill was merely a "sop" used to allay excitement in Washington.

Hollywood-Oh, she's terriblei
 Whenever Joan Blondell hap pens to be sitting in a theater where one of her own pictures is playing and hears that remark about herself, she goes home happy feeling that she really is getting along.
 Because explains the blond Biondeif, they really don't mean that at all. What they really mean is, She shouldn't do things like that--but' wouldn't 1t be fun So, when I hear that remark know I have convinced somebody that I really am one of those naughty but nice girls. And since I usually play that kind of role I know that I have done good job.
 Besides, 1t makes me feel nat ural to have people worried about my actions on the screen-takes me back to kid days. When l was little girl somebody always was shaking his or her head oyer me. People were forever urging my parents to spank me for this or that"
 This ability to worry others by her conduct on the screen actually has played an important part in Joan's success because people al- ways will go back to see what kind o trouble she will get into

 Won't Introduce Amendment q have been informed that one of the candidates seeking the nom- ination has pledged himself, if nominated and elected, to intro duce a bill in Congress for a diff ferent sort of a primary law, if the people think improvement is needed. If I am nominated and elected, I shall do no such thing.
 Why?
 Because Congress has already delegated to the Alaska Legisla- ture the power to pass laws on this subject, and I am absolutely op- posed to surrendering back to Con- gress any of the all too-limited legislative jurisdiction that is vest ed in the local law-making body. would make every effort pos sible to add to the extent of the power of the Alaska Legislature to make laws on local subjects, and oppose with all the force and en- ergy that I possess any movement to take away from it any author Ny it now has"
 Experienced Legislator
 Senator Dimond is one of the most experienced lawmakers in the Territory. He served as a member of the Territorial Senate in 1923 and 1925, and in 1929 and I1931 He is the author of many laws, and has written as many that were introduced by other members as were written and in- troduced by himself.
 His greatest interest has been in the Workmen's Compensation Act although his name is not officially connected with it. Ow- ing to his active interest in that subject, the present compensation rates are in existence, as well as the provision giving liens to in- jured workmen to cover unpaid compensation, and for hoSpitaliza- tion. He wrote the several amend ments embodying these features al- though they were introduced by other members.
 In Charge of Hearings
 In the hearings before Legis- lasive committees on these bills, he took active charge of the bills, and it is conceded 1t was largely due to his management that they finally were written into the code.
 He wrote the bill that gave to the women Of Alaska the privi- lege of sitting as jurors in all courts of the Territory. At the last session of the Legislature he was the author Of another law affecting married women only, providing for them to file an affi- davit of ownership of personal property.

FOUR MEN RUN IN
 BAREFEET FRO M. HUGE SNOWSLIDE.
Three Buildings at A. Us Camp No. l. in Basin
 Are Swept Away

Four men narrowly escaped with their lives yesterday afternoon when a snowslide swept down upon the mess house, the bunk house and the drying house of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company's Camp No. l in Gold Creek Basin, and totally destroyed all three build ings. William Black, the cook, who was at work in the mess house and Walter Otis, Al. Bullock and Louis Hansen, miners, who were asleep in the bunk house, would have been killed by the avalanche if they had not been warned of their danger by George Bacon, who while inspecting a Hume, noticed the moving mass of snow when it was not more than 100 feet from him and ran another 100 feet to the domed structures to arouse the inmates of their peril.
 Hurried to Safety
 After the cook had got out of the mess house, the miners were awakened and as they were hurry ing from the bunk house in their sleeping clothes and barefooted the slide smashed the mess house. The drying house was the next to be struck. Except for one standing wall of the drying house, all three structures were crushed to splint- ITS.
 The bunk house accommodated 12 men. At the time of the accident, 3 o'clock in the afternoon, shifts were changing, the day shift com ing off and the afternoon shift going on, so most of the occupants were absent.
 Personal effects. which included some money, jewelry and clothing, are buried in the snow; but they are expected to be recovered.
 Will Be Replaced
 "The destroyed buildings will be replaced" L. H. Metzgar, General Superintendent of the Company, said today. Tn the meantime the men that ate and slept in the ruined structures will be accom- modated at the company's regular Gold Creek mess house and bunk house."
 The destroyed mess house and bunk house were about 36 by 18 feet each in dimensions. The dry ing house was a little smaller.
 The compressor house and the blacksmith shop, about 300 feet from the destroyed bunk house, were not touched by the slide.
 MT. Bacon is freighting supplies with dogs from the Mine Tunnel to Camp No. l. He was in a gulley | a Hume when he first saw the avalanche.
 Seemed 100 Feet High
 'The face of the snowslide seem ed 100 feet high" he said. "The snow was soft and packed hard 1 It moved slowly and noiselessly. When saw it first it was not more than 100 feet from me, yet I had | not heard it moving. At once, I ran to the cook house and then | to the bunk house. The men just l had time to save themselves, and else"
 Camp No. l is on what is known | as the Peter Hallam ground, about half way between the Alaska Ju- neau Boarding House and the Per- severance Mine Camp in Gold Creek Basin, two miles from Ju- neau. J
