Weather Today

Snow was falling at ob- servation time this morn ing in southeastern Alaska and St. Paul Island while rain was recorded at Dutch Harbor and Ketchikan.
 These conditions resulted from extensive low pres sions covering most of the north Pacific Ocean. An other high pressure area is charted central around Pt. Barrow and will likely con tinue temperatures well below zero in central and northern Alaska.
 Fair weather and below zero temperatures were the rule along the Nome-Fair-

Sets Fire Blanket
 City Jail Attempt
 urnHis WayOu

Paul Amarok, full blood Eskimo, was reported to the City Police by a citizen as being drunk and disturb ing the peace. The Police arrested the offender about II P M.yesterday on Front street, and confined him in the City jail, A short time later a strange noise from l the cell room led to an in- vestigation. The prisoner had ignited a blanket and placed it by the door, with the apparent intent of burn ing his way to freedom. The smoke had him almost un- conscious. If this had oc- cured at an early hour in the morning the City's new ly constructed City Hall might now be in ashes, ac- cording to information from the Police Depart ment.
 This morning the offender was taken before the Muni- cipal Magistrate and charg- ed by the City Attorney with being drunk. On a plea of guilty the Magis- trate asked the Chief of Pc lice for a statement of the circumstances. A fine of $3O was imposed which the Magistrate stated would be equivalent to the usual fine and enough in addition to reimburse the City for the blanket destroyed. The fine was paid.
 The offender stated in open court that he had pur- chased the whiskey with which he became drunk from the NomeLiquor store the store operated by MT. Sol Lewis and H.Green- berg, that he had had some drinks prior to that and his condition was such that he could neither remember from which individual in the store he made the pur- chase, nor how much he paid.
 After the case was closed the Chief of Police, City Attorney and the defendant went to the Nome Liquor Store, taking along the bot tie (about 1 3 full) found on the defendants person. The label on the bottle was of a brand on display in the store, it was determin- ed. When questioned by City Attorney Sullivan, MT Lewis admitted selling the bottle to the defendant and stated substantially, that ''he was just as sober as I am now," no further con- versation took place.
 City officials stated that the purpose of the visit to the Nome Liquor Store was to verify the truth of

ceivers could be prepared. Approval
of the radio project was received
from the Federal Communications
Commission on September II.
In the meantime, telephone engi-
neers were despatched to Miami
with sufficient equipment to estab-
lish two radio telephone circuits. In
addition, local construction forces
at the points involved were given
plans for antenna structures and for
frame buildings to house equipment,
and operating plans were perfected
as well.
Antennas Mounted on Poles
The first contact over the radio
channel was secured after a week
Of high pressure activity, and by
three days later the service was
sufficiently good to carry the pub
lies telephone messages.
The radio stations were estab-
lished at Tavernier on the north and
at Big Pine Key on the south, thus
making a radio link some So miles
in length. Two transmitters and
receivers Of the type usually made
for airplanes have been set up at
each station, the transmitters being
rated at watts. The antennas, which
are as simple as possible, are
mounted on 60-foot wooden poles.
The stations built to house the equip
ment for receiving and sending, as
well as facilities for connecting the
radio links to the wire lines, are
small frame structures situated
about 800 feet apart.

the United States he win veto any
anti-lynehing bill presented FOR ldS
signature.
This fact became known last
week, when the man who 10 being
prominently mentioned by the Re-
publican party as a presidential
nominee, made known his attitude
in no uncertain terms.
In committing himself, Senator
Borah placed his knowledge even
above that Of the U. s. Supreme
Court, when he indicated he would
consider an anti-lynching bin mn
constitutional, even though the
highest judicial body in the eoun-
try upheld it.
Replies to N. A. A. C.P.
Senator Borah's blunt assertion
was given in a letter to the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. II replied
to one sounding his views, as q
Presidential possibility, toward the
anti-lynching bill he has repeated
ly opposed in the Senate. The let
ter to the Senator had bitterly a.
sailed his attitude and cited q
whole series of lynehinss which
have occurred since the Wagner

destroyed many Of the railroad
structures and washed out numerous
fills. About SO miles Of the tele-
phone line, extending from Taver-
nier, about so miles south of Miami,
to Marathon, about 40 miles north of
Key West, was demolished, and little
remained on which to rebuild It. A
radio link appeared to be the quick
est means for temporarily restoring
service.
After Bell System engineers had
conferred on ways and means, APP
plications for station licenses were
rushed to Washington, as favorable
action was necessary before crystals

power radio telephone channels to
link up the broken ends Of tele-
phone wires left dangling in the
wake Of the fatal and destructive
hurricane which struck the Florida
Keys early in September, 1895, tele-
phone service between the United
States and Cuba, as well as between
Key West and the rest Of Florida,
was restored after having been
completely cut OF. r....
Built Along the Railroad
This unusual method Of restoring
telephone service followed hasty
conferences between Bell Telephone
System engineers, the favorable re-
ception of applications to the Fed
eral Communications Commission,
and a period of intensive activity
during which q quickly modified
force Of telephone men labored to
restore the service which nature
had disrupted.
The four Key West-to-H Havana
telephone cables are normally con-
nected with Miami and the rest of
the country by means Of open wire
line and carrier systems. The open
wire line, extending the full length
Of the Florida Keys, follows for the
most part the right Of way Of the
Florida East Coast Railway, which
is built on viadVcts, fills, and
bridges. In many instances the tele-
phone wires were carried on fix
lures attached to the railroad tres
