 By the way, Steve, what kind o: reactions did you get when l fired the test bullet in the cellar?" H "Oh. so you picked that spot on purpose?" asked Harper.
 "Sure. 1 heard voices overhead, and 1 thought you were holding a seance, so let go. You never can < tell what may come from a sur prise"
 E. Well, you nearly scared the Croy- dens to death. but Dufresne never batted an eyelash. It gave me a good opening to break the news about finding the gun. predicted the bull lets would check up. and they have. While tackle Andrews again you'd better hop over to Mrs. Morlock's and see what you can gather there, but be smooth about it."
 Lafferty rose. Don't worry about that, but I'll bring back the bacon just the same. And don't you be too gentle with Andrews. It's about time we sat down on somebody and sat down hard. We've been doing all the talking up to now. Let's give the others a chance"
 After the detective had gone liar per gathered the letters into one pile. He rang for Andrews. and when the butler made his appear ance he walked over and closed the door with an air of deliberation that was not lost on Andrews.

the employee recants, the employer is without protection.
 The real sufferer in this particular instance is Alaska. The employees lose their wages, it is true The employers lose revenues. But Alaska loses it's only chance to be self-supporting nde- pendent unit of the American Union The unions that have brought this about cannot defend their action moral grounds. Neither Alaskans nor the operators of shipping to the Territory be held responsible for Mayor Smiths efforts to open the port of Seattle Whether he is right wrong they ought not to be held accountable Their appeals for Federal intervention ought to be needed. The emergency is serious enough to justify any steps necessary to reopen shipping between Puget Sound and Alaska and to keep it open pending settle ment of the general strike.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-06-23
NO MORAL JUSTIFICATION.

The Seattle unions which have broken their compact with the operators of Alaska shipping by again tying up vessels between Puget Sound and Alaska have moral justification for that act For tactical they might justify the deliber- ate breaking of their contract with the operators But their action cannot be defended on moral grounds.
 On June 8, after extended negotiations the strik- CTS, longshoremen and others signed the agreement releasing Alaska shipping It effective immed- lately and until September 30 It gave the strikers practically every recognition demanded It gave the International Longshoremen's Association complete control of work so long as it is able to supply a sufficient number of competent men. It provided that all stevedores be hired through union hiring hall It established sx-hour day at existing wage scales the condition that the whole wage question be submitted to arbitration with the understanding that any change finally agreed upon should be retroactive. It included clause that any dispute arising during the truce period should be submitted to arbitration.
 That agreement was signed by President Ryan of the I L. A.. by the Northwest representative of the same organization and the executives of all other unions affected It overwhelmingly rati- fled by the Northwest unions Commenting upon the settlement, President Ryan of the l. L. A.. de- clared: Were very glad we've reached this agree ment that resume commerce immdiately, because all of us recognize the emergencies exist ing in the isolated communities of Alaska"
 No charge has been made that the operators have not lived up to the agreement both in the spirit and to the letter In neither word deed have they violated it. The only accusation made is that Mayor Smith, in attempting to open the port of Seattle to other shipping violated pledge made to the unions He denies making any such promise. Whether he did or not we do not know. But if he did that is not moral justification for the unions to violate the contract which they entered into in good faith with the operators
 All relationship between employer and employee is based upon an honest performance of pledges. Where these are ignored, there can be security for either business property. If the word of the employer is good, the employee suffers. Where

"Haye chair, Andrews. We've a bit of talking to do, you and l."
 Silently the white-haired man did as he was bidden, losing none of his poise, evincing no nervousness or surprise. Each man sensed the all. tagonist in the other as they meas. ured each other with grave, level glances.
 "Andrews, do you keep a diary?" be" "No. sir" This unexpected in quiry aroused no more curiosity than query about the weather.
 How is your memory for dates, Andrews"
 Not as good as it used to be, sir. As grow older find one day very much like another. That is, until very recently he amended, with sly irony.
 Try to cast your memory back. IsDecs November 18th of last year bring anything to mind? Or Octo- Der IGth?"
 The level eyes remained locked, the buffers without the slightest flicker of interest at mention of the significant dates. the key numbers of the early stages of this mystery.
 November 18th! October 10th? I'm afraid not. unless you can give me further hint"
 Harper abandoned that line of in- quiry to thrust the photograph of the dead man in front of Andrews. "Do you still insist that you never saw this man before?" he snapped.
 Not to my knowledge, sir. and certainly never in this house."
 Andrews, you are devoted to your master, and it is difficult to be- lieve that you would be party to a plot to harm him. But there is proof that there was such plot, matched right here in this house."
 with all due respect to you, sir, l 1 don't believe it." Then how do you explain your thumbprint on this anonymous let. I ter to MT. Dufresne?" For the first time Andrews aplomb deserted him. His jaw dropped open and the lines of his face seemed to deepen. |
 You are wrong" he rasped. "I swear to God never touched that paper"

 Members of the Arctic Brother hood and their friends had packed the Orpheum Theatre at the per formance dedicated to them by Manager John T. Spickett, who was member of the newly organ ized Juneau Camp Mo- 31. . The Grubstate II, Copt. E. D. Beattie, returned to Juneau after an extensive cruise for pleasure to Skagway on the north and Chat ham Straits on the south. R. H Stevens, of the First National Bank and Mrs. Stevens were pas sengers on the craft and enjoyed delightful weather.
 Mrs. J. c. Mcbride and her daughter Marian returned on the City of Seattle from an extended visit in the East most of which time was spent with her parents in Philadelphia. Mrs. c. A. Cross mother of MT. Mcbride, accom- panied Mrs. Mcbride to Juneau Mrs. Mcbride and Marian had been away six months.
 Mrs. P. E. Harris and daughter were passengers aboard the City of Seattle for Hawk Inlet where they were to join MT. Harris and remain until fall.
 Score of the Sundays shoot of the Juneau Gun Club resulted in an average of nearly 20 out of a possible 25. The score was, Trues- dell, 25; Banbury, 23; Smith, 20; King, 20; Carter, IS; Carrigan. IT. and Kaser 15.

Edward Mccormick, bro ther of the bride, acted as best man. Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served for the wedding party, family and in- innate friends. The gifts were many and costly.

his analysis. "The next point is the fact that each letter is on a different color of paper, yellow. gray, blue, light green, and so on. A good qual- ity paper, too, though little soiled and faded" 'e
 "It looks like set of sample pa pers," Lafferty suggested. v
 Harper nodded. q think you're right. It is also my idea that they were written by a man Of consider ably higher intelligence than their contents indicates. Printing the words is a dodge used by persons who are afraid that even disguised handwriting may trip them up This writer was shrewd enough not to overplay his hand by the usual error of weird spelling"
 Lafferty set forth a new angle "How do we know Dufresne turned in all the letters he received? Thus business has some of the earmarks of blackmail or a shake-down stunt Maybe he just turned in selected let ters and, when there was chante settled the whole business in his own way"
 "It wouldn't be out of character. I agree, but there's no hint of hush money or blackmail anywhere. There is just that same monotonous threat to kill running through the eight letters. The last is practically the same as the first. If the writer wasn't crazy, what was his game?"
 Perhaps there was more than one in the plot and they got to scrap ping among themselves, with the re- suits we know. There are too many queer kinks in this case to charge anything off to coincidence. There must be a reason for all these odd things"
 "This is what I can't get straight ened out" Harper confessed. "Du- fresne denies knowledge of any en- mity. public or private. that would aim at his life, in spite of the pecul. far hints he gave out at our first in terview. But crank letters are one. man affairs. and this case involves so many people.

SOCIAL EFFECTS OF SCIENCE.

No one will deny that inventions like the railroad train the electric light or the radio have had profound effects of social nature on the civilized world. Transportation communication and power transmission three fields among the many which have changed the of home life in Europe and America. s~s
 Science today is keenly interested in it's share oI the responsibility for any bad effects upon civlza ton which may come out of it's discoveries Science, of course is not wholly blame for the applications Of its researches for there is the twin problem of exploitation, but science and scientists recognize their responsibility for creating social problems hay ing the effect of causing instability.
 President Glenn Frank University of Wisconsin, declared recently at faculty meeting that research at that institution should be planned and carried out in such way that they will help shorten the social lag" between the development Of scientific processes and the growth of social control of them That is to say that society in general should get the benefits promptly without what President Roosevelt has termed the destructive influences which have been so commonly felt in the past
 Dr. Frank voiced it in this manner:
 Scientists at this university should come
 together in a common and conscious ef
 fort to plan their researches that the scien-
 tific progress of the next quarter century
 shall, far may be humanly possible,
 stabilize and enrich the life of the State
 and Nation instead Of producing further
 and perhaps fatal social instability.
 Researches in the physical sciences, he added, has produced social changes faster than research in the social sciences have perfected controls until today humanity resembles nothing much as a nervous spnster clutching the reins of runaway horse, glaring with frightened eyes into the glare of a motor gone wild The researches of science. he indicated as far as they have been translated into action by engineers have been one of the most important factors in causing the present phase of social instability, pointing out that the men who have produced the results by research have, by and large, given little attention to their ultimate social impact.
 Dr. Franks plan to correct this situation would be that aside from fundamental research in matters obviously still far short of social implication, all university research should be planned and CO ordinated to help close the gap between scientific development and social control and thus stabilize life, instead of causing instability.

 the dead man wrote the letters, that will be all. but just minute ago you were ready to pin it on An lrews. He's still very much alive and quite capable of writing letters if he wants to. Besides that, there may be a genuine Mir. X hiding in the woodpile. It's at least possible that these threatening letters had nothing whatever to do with last nights affair.""
 Lafferty snorted. Sure, and may be there weren't any murders here last night. For Heavens sake, let's pinch somebody. then listen to them arguing themselves out of it. It would save a lot of wear and tear on us."
 They grinned amiably at each other, but Harper went right on with
