ACTIVITIES OF Ell CENTRO EMERGENCY
RELIEF COMMITTEE TOLD IN REPORT

Have you ever tried to carry a
dozen empty milk bottles back to
the grocery store? Well, even less
than that makes a good armful
Yet if all the half pint bottles
purchased with money contributed
to the local relief fund this year
were deposited at Sixth and Main
streets a traffic tie up would fol-
low, for 1927 "empties' would be
in the pile.
In other words, 1927 half pints
of milk once inside those bottles
have actually been consumed by
hungry and under-nourished Ell
Centre youngsters.
That's one of the main pieces of
work made possible by the gifts of
81 a month given by many en-
ployed persons throughout the city
during the last six months, ac-
cording to the Ell Centre Emergency
Relief committee report made pub
lie today.
Free milk was furnished only to
those children recommended by the
school authorities, following invest

Christian Science

"Oh let the wickedness Of the
wicked come to an end; but estab-
lish the just: for the righteous God
trieth the hearts and reins." These
words of the Psalmist are the gold
en- text in the lesson-sermon on
Sunday in all branches Of The
Mother Church, The First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
The lesson-sermon denounces an
cient and modern necromancy, alias
mesmerism and hypnotism.
One of the Scriptural selections
in the lesson-sermon includes the
verses from Leviticus: And the
Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto all the congregation
of the children of Israel, and say
unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I
the Lord your God am holy
and ye shall not swear by my name
falsely, neither shalt thou profane
the name of thy God: I am the
Lord Regard not them that
have familiar spirits, neither seek
after wizards, to be defiled by them:
I am the Lord your God"
Among the passages from Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
are these words: Divine Mind
rightly demands mans entire obe-
dience, affection and strength. No
reservation is made for any lesser
loyalty. Obedience to Truth gives
man power and strength. Submis-
sion to error superinduces loss Of
power"

Seattle Minister Wants
 to Clear Father Duncan's
 Name; Charges Adranced

WASHINGTON, May 21.-A plea to clear the name of Father Will jam Duncan, apostle of the Met lakatla Indians, has been made before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee by Dr. Mark A. Mat thews, pastor of the First Presby- terian Church of Seattle.
 Dr. Matthews told the committee that Duncan died after agents of the Federal Bureau of Education destroyed his cannery, demolished his school, and conducted them selves like a ruthless invading army.
 WOld Clear Name
 He sought to picture and show the destruction allegedly perpetrat- ed by Government agents in 1915, when they established school in competition with Father Duncan's. He said that he sought chiefly to have Father Duncan's name clear ed of the charges made against him on which he never was given

 Until the government takes con- trol of this most vital part of our financial system it is not going to break loose from the indebtedness which is weighing down the gov ernment as well as the private citizens of the nation," he con- tinued.

GOLD MINES IN
 OPPOSITION TO
 N. R. A. CODES
Enormous Covernme e n t
 Loans Proposed to Aid Development Work

DENVER, Colo, May 21.-Gold producers of the United States swiftly disposed of controversial code questions Saturday by send- ing them back to committees for further study, and then agreed to appeal to the Federal Government for loans to the amount of as much as $1O0,000000 to aid their industry.
 Delegates are showing over whelming opposition to the imposi- ton of gold code The commit tee asked for further time to hold meetings in various gold producing states and Alaska in order to ob- tain further information for their study.
 Action Postponed
 Observers said the action did not mean that the Association had al- tered their attitude toward code proposals, but merely were post poning final action to later indef- mite time.
 Harry Seares of San Francisco declared that through Federal Loans America can lead the world in gold mining"
 Production would be increased more than $275,OO0,O00 annually and employment given to 54,00O more men. The payrolls would be increased to $78,OOO,0OO yearly, he said.
 The only thing which prevents rapid expansion of gold mining is the lack of dependable sources where operators may secure ade- quate funds for expansion. The logical lender is the Federal Gov ernment. Loans are especially needed for secondary financing, which in gold mining means pre- pairing the factory for production, :" said MT. Seares.

 Dr. Matthews said that the grasping hand of minor bureau crats sought control of the island in 1915, and that the alleged van dalism followed
 Corroboration
 That these actually occurred, he testified of his own knowledge, be- ing supported by James w Wit ten, Washington lawyer and trus- tee of Father Duncan's estate, and by Sir Harry Welcome, British missionary.
 Dr. Matthews said that the col- ony is now administered virtually by a government agent through veto power over locally enacted or dinances. He added that jealousy over the fishing and other inter ests played part in the story.
 The committee said that nc legislative action could be taken this session.

1,5oO PERSONS INJURED

CHICAGO, H., May 21-Live- stock poured into the stockyards despite the disastrous fire of last Saturday, which injured some l. 500 persons and caused property damage estimated at between eight and ten million dollars.
 Business as usual" was the slogan of the stockyard officials.
 The cause of the blaze which leveled scores of private homes, several flat buildings and more than a dozen major structures, including the International Ampi- theatre, home of the International Stock Shows, is still undetermined
 Two Theories
 Some investigators said the or igin was a carelessly tossed cigar cite, but others believed combus- ton or spark from locomotive might have been the cause of the fire
 Twenty-two hundred fire fight CTS checked the flames only after scores of them had been injured.
 At one time 1t was believed the flames might reach the Lake Mich igan waterfront
 Forty percent of the livestock in the pens was destroyed with the Livestock Record Building, Live stock National Bank, Stockyards Inn, all property of the Union Stock Yards Company; Drovers Ma tional Bank and Drovers Journal Building, with the radio station WAAF.
 One Death Reported
 One death is listed. Walter Burn field died apparently as the re- suit of excitement when the flames were two blocks from his home.
 Most of the injured only had minor wounds and only 400 re- Quired medical treatment.
 One hundred and fifty thousand sightseers from the neighboring states came to view the ruins Sunday.

J. A. RICHARDS AND WIFE RETURN SOUTH
 AFTER WEEKS VISIT

After spending the last week wis., iting scenes of his school days and greeting old friends, J. A. Richards, Superintendent of the Consolidated Copper Mines, Kimberly, Nevada, and Mrs. Richards left here on the steamer Yukon today.
 It was MT. Richards first real visit to Juneau for about fifteen years and he found many changes. Tn fact the town is so changed I would hardly recognize it. What with paved streets, and so many substantial looking new buildings, it little resembles the Juneau of 1919," he declared.
 One of the most enjoyable fea- lures of their visit here was a sightseeing trip over Taku and Men denhall Glaciers, made last week in the seaplane Baranof. Tt is a trip absolutely impossible to de- scribe. Never has either my wife or myself seen any scenery so gor- geous," MT. Richard said. MT. Richards attended the public schools of Juneau and lived both here and in Treadwell for many years while his father, J. R. Richards, Sr., was engaged in mining in this vicinity. MT. Richard, ST, was foreman of the Mexican Mine 20 years ago, and more recently was General Superintendent of the Alaska Ju- neau Gold Mining Company.
