 With him when he died was his faithful friend, Mrs. Peggy Lowe, formerly known as Peggy Prim- rose" popular pre-war music al comedy actress.
 As orator, financier, member Of parliament and journalist, Bottom ley was in England,s spotlight for several decades, through a course of poverty, riches, fame degrada- tion, jail. AS he died, he was broken old man.
 Bottomley's parents wanted him to be an artist, but he ran away and earned living pushing a wheelbarrow.

CONNORS GIVEN SENATE'S 0KAY
 FOR COLLECTOR
Local Man Confirmed Yes. terday and Will Take
 Office in Short Time

The Senate late yesterday after noon confirmed the nomination of James J. Connors, of this city, to be United States Collector of Gus toms for the District of Alaska. His name was sent to the Senate on May 25 and reported back fav- orably on June l.
 MT ConnorS today began prepar- -ations to take over the office. The transfer, however, probably will not take place before June Is, and possibly not until the end of the month.
 It will be necessary first for him to obtain and file a bond with the Treasury Department in Wash ington, D. c. AS soon as that is approved by the Department and his commission of office is signed by the President, he will be ready to relieve J. c. Mcbride, Collector for the past 12 years. MT Connors had made out his bond today and it will go forward to Washington on Mondays mail to the States.

knew no peer.
 At twenty-five Bottomley was di- rector of publishing concern. Four years later he organized his own outfit with capital support of $5,- 100000. This collapsed in two years, but he embarked on new enterprises.
 Bottomley became connected with twenty or thirty companies and these failed for about $90,000 900. Bottomley founded the weekly John Bull, and won new reputation.
 By his attacks on political du- plicity, Bottomley won a following and was elected to parliament.
 Bottomley's toboggan began when he brought criminal action against Reuben Bigland, a former associ- ate. Bigland was acquitted. The suit turned out to be a boomer ang. As result of the admissions he made regarding the sale of vic- tory bonds, Bottomley himself was in dock shortly afterward, and was sentenced to seven years, of which he served five.

Rich est Little City in World, In California,
 Nearly Destroyed

SIGNAL HILL, Cal, June B. This richest little city in the world today appraised the cost of it's first catastrophe, an explosion and fire, which blackened an area of four square blocks, snatched the lives of seven persons and sent more than fifty to the hospitals.
 The explosion and fire caused property damage of several hun dred thousand dollars.
 Signal Hill, adjoining Long Beach on the northern city limits, still watched at noon today the black streamers of smoke drift from rem nants of oil derricks ravaged by a concussion of flames when a little compression chamber, barely 20 feet long and three feet in diameter loosed havoc on this rich petroleum producing area.
 The compression chamber explod- ed, gas rushed from the tank and flames quickly broke out and spread
 The entire field seemed sudden ly to be a torrent of fire as the flames licked at the oil soaked derricks and other structures in the packed field, including many homes.
 None of those in the hospitals are expected to die.

 Interesting Speech

MEXICO CITY, June 3.-United States Ambassador Josephus Dan- iels told a gathering of the Mexico City and American colony at the Club that American iso- lation is out of date.
 The Ambassador said:
 "The problem of statesmanship at this hour is to preserve the blessing of the nations hearthstone minus the evils of hurtful isolation.
 Marrow nationalism run to seed is at the bottom of the world de- bacle today. All eyes are turned on Geneva in hope that reduction and limitation of arms at that con- ference may open the way for agreement at London to make breaches for the good of all in trade barriers, and secure world standardization in currency.
 These two enemies of accord stand in the way of restoration of prosperity. President Roosevelt af- lords the leadership long looked for"

HEART FAILURE
 CAUSES DEATH
 OF FRANK BACH
Many Friends Shocked by Demise of Prominent
 Pioneer Alaskan

Frank x. Bach, for fifty years a resident of Gastineau Channel, died at the home of his daughter Mrs. Robert Coughlin, at 1:15 this afternoon.
 MT. Bach's sudden death today shocked and saddened his many friends in Juneau and Douglas who have known him and loved him through years of association and who feel deep sympathy for the two daughters, Mrs. Coughlin and Mrs. Larrie McKechnie, his son Frank Bach, Jr., and brother George who survive him.
 For a week, MT. Bach had been visiting his brother George Bach at his Taku Harbor farm. He re- turned to Juneau about noon today on the gasboat Willis D. of Taku. After entering the Coughlin home, he sat down, apparently well and happy and was telling his daughter about his week at Taku with his brother. Death came suddenly and without warning and was due, &C., cording to Dr. H. c. DeVighne, who was called immediately, to heart failure.
 Born in Bavaria
 Frank x. Bach was born in Win cheip, Bavaria, Germany, 72 years ago. As young man he joined relatives who were living in New York City and shortly afterward moved West.
 He was just twenty-two when he arrived on Gastineau Channel from San Francisco, May T, 1883.
 Before moving to Douglas in 1885, MT. Bach operated the Frank lin Hotel on Front Street. From 1885 until 1924 when he retired he owned a general store in Doug- las. There was short time in the years that followed his arrival here, that MT. Bach spent away from the Channel-when he followed the gold rush in 97 and '98 into Daw- son, and came out with small fortune.
 MT Bach was married in Juneau in 1890 to the daughter of pio- neer Juneau family, Ellen Gracious Calhoun, who died on July 4, 1904.
 In 1895 his brother George Bach, joined him in Alaska and
