SCOUTING MOVES AHEAD.

Boy Scouting in Juneau and Douglas took a mighty step forward last night at City Hall when group of civic leaders assumed the responsibilities that go with official Scout District organization
 Now, the two Gastneau Channel neighbors will supervise their Scouting program. Heretofore all official business and supervision has come from the Seattle office of the great boy movement. While that supervision and aid is appreciated Juneau and Douglas today, glad and proud to feel that they have been given control of their own youth program
 However, in passing on to a more efficient organization, pause should be made, it was at last nights meeting to pay sincere tribute to a Juneau business leader who has given much of his For years he has headed the local unofficial Scout ~Council which although it received recognition in the national set-up, nevertheless did much to foster the Juneau Scout program. Without the ground work done by Dr. Simpson and his fellow workers, Juneau and Douglas would not have been able to take that important step last night
 Wellman Holbrook chosen Chairman of the local district. For years interested in the welfare of bcyhood and a Scout enthusiast, Hobrook brings a keen understanding of the problems of Boy Scout ing Boy Scout work decidedly is not Flag 1t the painful duty of digging down in ones purse for a donation every year.
 This program which Juneau and Douglas will share is bigger, much more comprehensive than any all of those things Yes, these two com munites took big step in the right direction last night

Vive Ia Normandie!
(Kansas City Times.)

(Kansas City TimeS) The Normandie the flagship of the French Line and the largest vessel afioat is now at sea on her maiden voyage to this country Even in territory far from deep water, where attention is lcentered upon streamline trains and the latest developments in air travel, such an event still exercises it fascination The traditions of the sea- its romance and it's perils, follow men inland long beyond the sound of it's waves
 The zest that adventure once gave to ocean
 travel however has largely disappeared. As far as the Transatlantic passenger is concerned it's place has been taken to some extent by interest in the rivalry among ships rivalry that today in wolves not only the operating companies but also the countries of registry since in many cases now the shipping lines either controlled by their governments or receive some form of financial aid from them.
 Size, luxury steadiness and particularly speed all center into this competition and there is much discussion on board the ships concerning their rival merits. The degree to which national prestige has become involved is shown by the long standing ment as to whether the American Leviathan or the British Majestic were the larger ship and the bitter protest which recently arose in Great Britain when 1t became known that certain British passenger vessels about to be transferred to the German flag Already dispute has begun over whether the Queen Mary. now being built for the Cunard- White Star Line, will will not be larger than the Nomandie
 To some observers it seems as if in all this rivalry economy of operation and the consequent cheapenng of rates to passengers have been rather generally dsregarded, as is so often the case when the element of national pride enters into matter of ordinary commercial interest But the Normandje has sailed, with it's 79.28O gross tonnage it's sun deck stretching clear of Instructions for two city blocks and it's theatre seating nearly 400 persons And France has the distinction of having the largest and probably the fastest of ocean liners

Local participation in the pro- posed dedication of the Douglas bridge as soon as it is formally opened to travel was given a big boost last night when a packed house greeted the efforts Of the Chamber of Commerce at their special show given in the Coliseum theatre to raise funds for the pro- ject. Every seat in the house was taken and due to the graciousness of the Coliseum management in donating the pictures and theatre to the cause, and the participation of the Juneau quartet and Miss Sylvia Anderson's dancing, and their accompanies, the event was a success both financially and en- tertainingly.

How can we learn action by constantly repeating it. he asks, when the whole point is that we haven't yet learned how to do it the first time? And why do learn the right instead of the wrong way?

Taking cognizance of national Flag Day, the Juneau Elks going to hold appropriate cises tomorrow night in their hall to mark the occasion with Judge James Wckersham delivering the address
 In these days of unrest and unsound doctrine aimed to befudde the minds of our people, it is a good thing to arouse natonalsm with such observance Flag Day. Under the Flag we are one people and when it is threatened we arise as people in it's defense. Some of us may harangue and follow foolish theories in of our unoccuped moments but when nation is in jeopardy we have never failed yet to rise to the occasion And it is to build that patriotism stronger in the breasts of our rising generations and those who to our shores from other countries, well as to show respect to the Flag itself that such are held throughout the land

So Mir. Baldwin Was a Sucker!
(Kansas City Star.)


 Stanley Baldwin, former British Prime Minister and Secretary of the Treasury is moderately rich man. His holdings a few years ago valued at something less than million dollars. On these he paid an income tax considerably higher than the current United States income tax But the British terasury was hard up in 1919 and he tuned over to it one-fifth of his fortune-about r million dollars
 Andrew w. Mellon, former Secretary of the Treas ury of the United States, is very rich man, worth many times much MT Baldwin The Govern ment is suing him for 3 million dollars in back taxes which MT. Mellon insists he found legal means to evade. In the hearings the Government produced a letter addressed to MT. Mellon Secretary of the Treasury from his subordinate, the Collector Of Internal Revenue The letter began: Pursuant to your request for memorandum setting forth some of the various ways in which individual may legally avoid tax am pleased to submit the following"
 It was brought out that MT Mellon had used five of the twelve suggestions included in the memorandum.

Charges of Theft

BY the Associated rress.
NEW YORK, February S.-The
Daily News says that Bruno Haupt-
mann, on trial for the kidnap-killing
of the Lindbergh baby at Fleming
ton, N. j., told Sheriff John H. Cur
tiss yesterday:
Il want to put charge of stealing
against some one"
'Why?" asked Curtiss.
Somebody stole my radiator cap
and gasoline tank cap from my auto
mobile while you got it parked here.
Souvenir hunters had taken them
but the sheriff told Hauptmann that
he was lucky the car was kept in the
Jail enclosure rent-free, that the
warden complained he was unable to
park his own car with Hauptmann's
there.
We'll. Mr.. Curtiss," said Haupt-
mann. lust give me a chance and

the car. He said he saw only a part
Of the woman's face.
Now, while the car was there
with the ladder, did you actually,
physically touch the ladder yourself?"
he was asked.
II did, three times" he said.
Did you have a good chance to
look at it?"
"Yes, sir"
Attorney General David A. WilentZ
asked only one cross-examining
question.
Did you ever report the matter
to the State police?"
II did not" he said
Hauptmann's attorneys then brought
out that the reason he had not re-
ported the matter was because the
pictures of the ladder he saw in the
newspapers depicted it as extended
and he could not be sure. He added
that he did not want ITO make a
fool of myself"
He described the man in the auto
this way:
His hair was dark. He had a
smooth face, no mustache or beard"
Thought Had Seen Photo.
He later added the man weighed
1870 or 140 pounds, and was about S
feet 10 or II inches tall and thin
faced
He said he thought he had seen a
picture of the man somewhere. He
couldn't recall where.

late yesterday that the famed rail

from the attic had no relation-an
opinion that dissented with one given
by State expert-produced yellow
pine sapling in court today to show,
knots near the base than above.
1t was his contention that the attic
floor board, from which the State
charged rail 16 had been sawed. had
fewer knots than the rail. The rail
was used as an upright in one Of the
three sections of the ladder.
De Bisschop testified further that
the ladder rail showed no shadows"
Of joists TO which it would have been
nailed if it had been a piece of floor
ing as the State charged. Moreover,
he said, it showed no hammer or
chisel marks which ne believed would
have been present if it had been
ripped from the attic floor.
On cross-examination he admitted
the rail might have been" nailed to
joists

Hauptmann's attorneys heightened
the drama of their surprise by calling
upon the defendant to assist.

Frederick A. Pope of defense counsel.
Hauptmdn came to his feet.

hand toward the waiting defendant.
Positively not!" said Bolmer.

and the attic board were not of one
and the same piece. Both were No.

the attic board was a top" piece
and the ladder rail was a butt"

naping, wherein the four nail holes are
plainly visible. On the other hand
which Is the defenSe'S, that very con-
centration upon flngerprints may have
clouded his Judgment as to the quality
and color of the wood, the knot holes,
and so forth, by which he identified
this rail as of the original kidnap lad
der.
It is rather difficult to accept the
theory of police deliberately driving
nails into the special rail with the
idea of hooking it up to the sawed-off
board in Hauptmann's attic, which
contained four corresponding nail
holes, when we know that these photo
graphs were taken lone before the
police were aware that there was such
a person as Hauptmann, or such a
lumberman's heaven as Hauptmann's S
attic. Nevertheless, ! believe that II
DR.. Hudson's words have any weight
at all, thev will have more weight in
Hauptmann's favor than any which
have been uttered from that stand.
Testimony Carries Weight.
His failure to notice nail-holeS when
he was intent on finding f1ngerprints
is understandable, but his conviction
that by his process he would have
discovered Hauptmann's fingerprints
upon the ladder, had Hauptmanns S
fingerprints been there, went far to-
ward influencing the least credulous
mind, in spite of the States insistence
that the hand of the criminal was
gloved.
In any case, Mr.. Pope of defense
counsel, who is a proud amateur car
penter, and who positively purrs at
the sight of a plane, thoroughly en-
joyed the afternoon. Even that other
carpenter, Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann, seemed to forget his desperate
status, and having listened to the
testimony with smiling interest, left
the court room apparently still cheerful
