HALBUT BOATS MAY NOT LEAVE
 VARIOUS PORTS
Low Price of Fish May De- lay Fleet Going Out,
 First of Season

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. 27- The low prices now prevailing for halibut will probably keep the boats of the halibut fleet in port at Seattle, Ketchikan and Peters burg, contrary to previous reports they were ready to go to the banks.
 As a result of the boats re- maining in port it looks as if there would be little, if any fishing, when the season opens next We'd nesday.

At the request Of District
Attorney Leo A. Rover, presiding
Judge Gus A. Schuldt. Of Police
Court. today was preparing a re-
port of circumstances surround
ing the recent dismissal of a dis
orderly house case prepared by
police and Rover's assistants.
The case involved three women
arrested several weeks ago in a

When the case was presented
in Police Court, Judge John P.

jury to acquit the three de-
PENDANTS.

dismissal of the case was based,
it was understood, with a view
to seeing that police and prose
cutors prepared such cases with
greater care in the future.

NUD|ST COLONY
FOR CAPITAL
IN MAKING
Plans in Secret Declared to
Be Probable Following
Livingston Lecture

Washington is going to have
a nudiSt colony nearby, provided
1t is arranged solely on the basis
Of scientific experimentation and
not to satisfy curiosity.
At least that is the aim of a
small group Of persons who at
tended a lecture last night in the
Hamilton Hotel by David Living
ston, president Of the Interna-
tional Nudist Conference and edi,
tor of Nudist, the official publ
cation of the organization.
Thomas j. Tuckett, mayor of
Capitol Heights, Md, and a
promi1e Maryland attorney,
said today that he received a
call from DR.. Livingston to meet
him last night but that a pre-
viouS engagement made this i'm
possible.
Mr.. Luckett said he did not
know what the appointment was
for. but it was reported that
Livingston is seeking a site for
colony in nearby Maryland and
seeks to have Mr.. Luckett help
him find it.
Plan Secret Meeting
A meeting is to be arranged in
secret-to keep out the curious
at which plans will be made to
further the idea.
Discussion of the plans follow.
ing the lecture last night led to
the suggestion from Livingston
that the colony be started by
holding a picnic at which every.
one will wear bathing suits at
first and then disrobe.
AS Dr. Livingston talked to his
listeners, each one having paid
so cents, he said:
FNakedness and nudism are
different. NakedneSS lays
emphasis on sex. NudiSm
doesn't bother about it,"
KRASKIN DENIES 1T
Later in describing the re-
actions felt by those who disrobe
in public he added:
'Tt makes grOuchy, paunchy
men do folk dances sometimes"
DR.. Lewis H. Kraskin who was
designated as one of the local
leaders today vehemently said:
81 am not a leader of any
nudist cult or colony. went to
the lecture last night because 1
am interested in any healthful
movement.

such a movement here if all
taint of lewdness is taken from
it. If a colony here could be run

best results from sun bathing I
might attend it but only If it is
done in clean, healthful
manner"

After a lifetime of thrilling
episodes which often placed him
in personal danger, w. S. Orth-

81 years old and has spent 27
years on the Chicago police force

private and rose to the rank of
detective sergeant. For the past
three years he has been as

county alone. revealed more than

Gang racketeering was just
approaching its high point when
Orthman was detached from the
detective bureau, but his knowl.
edge of the city and its under
world characters was frequently
called upon by his associates in
the bureau. Before it was called
