 'sNo, sir! Not yet" the easily frightened visitor is reported to have shrieked and ducked back in- to his hole after spying his shadow over his shoulder this morning.
 Weatherman Mize is inclined to agree with the groundhog legend, that if the sun shines on Febru- ary 2nd, winter will remain for six weeks longer, at least in Ju- neau. In fact he cynically observ- ed that there would probably be six weeks more of wintry tempera- lures and snow, groundhog or no groundhog.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. Dollar stabilization in the foreign ex- change market, now that it has been placed on a gold bullion stand ard, may not require the use of the two billion dollar Treasury fund say international bankers.
 With normal international gold transactions restored, it is believed foreign purchases of gold by private bankers has replaced recent Treas ury purchases which were made to keep the dollar from rising.

 As soon as it was learned the Treasury would buy gold at $35 an ounce purchased abroad by bankers in normal foreign exchange trans actions, leading Wall Street banks speedily began investigation of ship sailngs calculating possible profits on gold transfers from London and Pal to New York.
 Substantial purchases are under- stood to have been made before the close of business yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.- A series of private money talks with Great Britain is indicated authOritatively to be either under way or about to begin as officials here in- vestigated the actions of Lon don and Paris to determine their own course in the intri- cate web of European high finance.
 American authorities saw the pos abilities that might determine the future dollar program of President Roosevelt in reactions abroad to devaluation and the new high price for gold The reactions are not considered highly satisfactory here
 High sources conceded the Roose- welt gold policy could be hampered by French embargo on gold which would eliminate this heavy source of the world market supply and simultaneously act against Am ericas fixed $35 an ounce price.
 Officials watched particularly for movements that might affect the gold standard of France, such as continued heavy drains of gold from Paris to London.

ROME, Feb. 2.-Frank admis- sion that plans for 8 united front of European gold countries have gone amiss, has been made by fas- cist spokesmen.
 Yet Italy. they say, remains con- vinced that money depreciation would only add to the country's difficulties; hence there is no thought of cutting the lira loose from it's gold anchor.

Leader of Abduction Gang Taken to North Dakota
 for Trial

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 2.-Attempts to link him with the fatal abduc- ton of the baby of Col. and Mrs. Charles A.

 Sankey was taken to the train guarded by five agents of the De- partment of Justice headed by Melvin Purvis, Chief of the De- partment's bureau here and who captured Sankey in a barber shop last Wednesday afternoon.
 Chilled 30 Hours
 The move came swiftly at the end of 30 hours of grilling concern ing the Lindbergh Kidnapping. Pur- wis announced nothing could be made public because his reports were being sent to Washington.
 Sankey confessed, PurVls aid that he and his gang kidnapped Boettcher and also Haskell Bonn of St. Paul.
 The chances of conviction in the Boettcher case are better in South Dakota, said United States Attor- ney Dwight H. Green, and the penalty is death in that state. San key waived extradition.

 The exercises were under the auspices of the local Bar Associa- ton and were a part of similar exercises held throughout the Ma ton by affiliates of the Ameri- can Bar Association.
 Alaska Has Interest
 Alaskans should honor John Marshall, declared Judge Wicker sham, for several reasons. First that great constitutional expound- CT, long before we were born. :. had the unbounded courage and wisdom to declare The Constl- tuition of the United States con- fers, absolutely. on the govern ment of the Union, the power of making war, and of making trea- ties. Consequently, that govern ment possesses the power Of ac- quiring territory, either by con quest or treaty, and of creating States in the Union out of such acquired territory as in the Louis jana Purchase, and other terrltor- ies in the western country.
 Alaska is an organized Terri tory; the Constitution is in full force and effect over it's entire area; it has been admitted into the body of the United States and when it's population shall be suf- ficient it may be admitted as one of the States of the American Union with all the Constitutional rights and immunities possessed by the people of New York or Vlr- ginia.
