RUSSIA TO SPEED
TERRORIST TRIALS
Secrecy Surrounds Fate of
Former Communist Lead.
ers Under Arrest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, December 22-Leonid
Nicolaieff, accused assassin of Sergei
Kiroff, and 10 of his alleged asso-
ciates in an organization reputedly
hostile to the Soviet regime, face
speedy trials.
They were delivered into the hands
Of the military collegium of the Su-
preme Court as police brought an
investigation of their activities to
q close.
Secrecy surrounded the fate of
Gregory Zinovief and Leo Kane
neff, former leaders of the Com
munist party, who were reported un-
der arrest. The Soviet foreign Office
declined to comment on the report.
(The London Express, in a dis
patch from Warsaw, said Zinovieff
and Kameneff will be tried by a
court Of five judges. including Joseph
Stain whom Zinovieff bitterly op-
posed. The death penalty, the re-
port said, appears to be a fore
gone conclusion
Znovieff Blamed.
The police report of the assassina-
ton of Kiroff connected Zinovieff
with the activities of a terroristic
organization charged with plotting
the high Soviet officials death.
The motive of the group, the re-
port said, was to "disorganize the
leadership Of the Soviet government
through terroristic acts"
Hundred Shot.
During the 20 days police have had
the Kirof assassination under investi-
cation, 120 persons charged with ter
roristic plotting have been arrested
in Leningrad, Moscow, Minsk and
Kiev. All but II of these have been
shot.
The Soviet press described the
prisoners as White Guards and counter
revolutionaries.

PACIFIC ALASKA AIRWAYS OFFICE
 IS OF NEW STYLE

lhe Pacific Alaska Airways has un- ter construction a new type of building to be used for both office and, living quarters. Chas. Kopsala' master carpenter for the Daily Con- struction Company of Seattle, is constructing a new model office building to be used by this airplane company, which is flying the mail into and out of Nome twice week ly during the winter.
 The new structure is called an Ol- ympic Pre-fabricated house, built of air-sealed plywood, which is de clared to be strong, durable, light and insulated against cold. It is ot very light weight and the majority of the building material comes in panels which are attached to the frame of the building. MT. Kopsala, who is serving as representative of the Olympic Pre-fabricated houses, expects to be in Nome for some time yet, and is glad to furnish all in formation regarding the construc- tion of these houses.

TELEPHONE; LIGHT COMPANIES BUSY
 RE-WIRING CITY

In line with other developments, the Northern Light and Power Go. and the Alaska Telephone and Tele- graph Co.,, is providing service for work now going on in the burned area of Nome.
 An interview with o. s. Weaver, general manager of both companies, revealed that about twenty-five mill es of telephone wiring were lost and completely destroyed. In addition to this about teh miles of power and lighting line were destroyed, in- cluding primary, secondary and ser vice wiring.
 Tn the area burned by the flames, approximately one hundred poles, with cross arms and insulators, to- gether with transformers were de- stroyed. During the past month the power company has been busy in stalling about 150 new poles. The new poles are being set up along the newly plotted streets and av- enues, so as to be available for the proper system, once the new busi- ness district is built.
 With the period of short daylight once more in Nome, numerous busi- ness houses now being constructed require the use of electricity so that crews of carpenters may continue working their full shifts. The light company electricians are busy wir- ing and installing equipment so that construction work may proceed as rapidly as possible. Many miles of temporary wiring have been install ed for that purpose.
 Approximately the same amount of wiring for both telephone and power will be installed to serve Nome. In about ten days or two weeks, according to reports, the commercial telephone system should be in operation. The power systems in Nome are being installed along modern and economical lines and the company should be congratulat- ed upon the service which they are giving at this time, as the task of re-wiring the city is one which re- quires much time and considerable expenditures of money.
