 Sights Ill-Fated Men

The gasboat Marie, out of Juneau, has been wrecked on Grand Island and the three persons aboard her saved, according to word to the Gus toms House this afternoon. The yes sel, a 26-foot gas screw, is reported a total wreck.
 Albert Johnson, Willie Kentch and Pete Jackson who were aboard her, were picked up by the Coast Guard Tallapoosa from the beach this af- ternoon and are being brought to Juneau on the cutter.
 The U. s. Bureau of Fisheries yes : sel Brant, en route into Juneau this morning, first sighted the wrecked mariners and attempted to get in close enough to the beach to pick them up, but seas were running too high. The Brant radioed the Talla poosa which immediately put out for the scene. The latter radioed the Customs House early this afternoon that she had the stricken mariners aboard and was bringing them here. She was due in around 3:45 or 1 o'clock.

CHANGED HER MIND

Hollywood, scene of Pola's former
 Lriumphs and failures, prepared itself to be amazed, and none the less
 checked back on Pola's last engage nent announcement. On February }, 1892, in Chicago, Pola told the world of her new grand romance. She would marry, she said, Chicago man c'but his name is a secret'D who was then 'wintering at his es- tate at Montecito, Calif" He was someone everyone looks up to and admires." Three months later, in
 Cleveland, Pola set the date fin July
 or August" but stil did not reveal the name. What happened then? Well, Pola must have changed her mind. Changing her mind has been Pola's
 prerogative-and custom since she blazed into film fame in the Ger man film, Passion" and was brought to Hollywood, in 1922, as reward.
 Matrimonially, she alre ady had changed her mind once. She had
 divorced her first husband, Count Eugene Dombski, garrison con- |mander on the Russian border. In Hollywood, where her films scarcely lived up to the promise of her Eur opean successes, her romances with various film figures were noted eag- erly. ..a
 At one time it was Charles Chaplin to whom she was reported engaged, at another it was Rudolph Valentino,
 and when the Latin idol died in New
 York after brief sudden illness, the
 Polish stars spectacle of grief was one long to be remembered.
 But it was Prince Serge Midivani of the marvin Midivanis''-
 whom she married in Paris in 1927, at a great and princely wedding. Two years later, in Paris, Pola's flair for
 the dramatic asserted itself in the
 very hall of justice where she had
 gone to, secure a divorce. She and Serge, meeting in the courtroom, embraced, kissed and made up and
 the reconciliation lasted year, when
 Pola finally called halt and got a decree.

STOCKHOLDERS OF l. H. 6. N. & E.
 TO GET REPORT
President Robert Wilms Schedules Meeting
 for January B

Packing in" via trail; roadbuild- ing, caterpillar trucking and toiling with pick and shovel and pan to end up by personally discovering the paystreak that. after ten years of effort, has culminateo in the first year of growth of his company, is the story of adventure and romance ex- perienced by Robert J. Wilms, now President ,of. the International High way Gold Mining and Exploration Company, who is completing the fi- nancing of the corporations opera tions for the season of 1886.
 First Annual Report
 In his first annual report to the company's stockholders which has been prepared for the groups meet ing scheduled for January 13, MT Wilms outlines full and complete picture of the activities and the achievements of the company since its incorporation last March 27. The report is said to be an interesting recital of an Alaskan's effort to or- ganize modern mining company Mir. Wilms will cite detailed descrip- tions of the properties he has secured for his company's, operation during the past year. Two of the four prop critics which are located on McDames Creek, B. C., are said to be proven and tested and ready for immediate operation as soon as the winter breaks.
 Organizing Shifts
 Two shifts of ten men each arc being organized to operate five and perhaps six months, starting the middle of March, states Mir, Wilms. The first of these crews. will be transported by. airplane via Atlin. Bunk houses, storage cover, a trac- tor and drag line machinery, to- gether with the necessary equipment are now on the ground, having been procured during the preliminary work.
 Fifty-two, stockholders. most. of them of Juneau, are interested in the enterprise: with Wilms. Among them are his father, J. J. Wilrns, all original member of the group discoy- ering the paystreak, and his brother, Lee H. Wilms, who was active on the properties last season. John G., Os- born is Vice President, and John I. Conn Treasurer of the company
 Plans For Season
 While the present financing cam- paign has been retarded somewhat due to the, holidays, MT. ,Wilms states that satisfactory progress has been made during the past several days and that this, phase of the work may soon be curtailed in order to give way to the work. of selecting person. nel and further completing arrange ments for the trip inside.
 All members of the crews to be selected are to be employed on a CO., partnership basis, it. is explained.

Pola Negri Keeps Up Her
 Tradition; No,v She Has
 NeU Engagement sSecret'
By ROBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 7.-Pola Negri lives up to the mystery tra- dition of film exotics in her latest announcement of an engagement to marry
 Her progress across the cinema horizon front-paged now for nearly Is years, Pola has been fairly con sistently an exponent of mystery in her personal life, although she will take the world into her confidence to a certain extent.
 For instance, in London recently she described her new fiance-a cer- tain "middle-aged British statesman, former member of Parliament, en- ormously wealthy-you'n be amazed when you find out who it is, in about two weeks"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-01-07
SUED AND WAS SUED

That, however, did not end her connection with Serge Midivani. She was to sue him for 10000 she assert iedly lent him, and meet a counter suit asking $131 900 from her. The legal scrap was ended recently in a dismissal of both actions, terms un- revealed. Serge later married Mary McCormic, but they too are divorced now.
 Pola's last Hollywood film, "A Woman Commands" made in 1881, was a personal triumph but a box office failure. Her starring lately has been done abroad, but Hollywood nevertheless watches the doings of this moon faced, raven-tressed act ress who once was it's foremost sym bol of fire and temperament.

By ROBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 7.-His- torically and classically speaking, it has been poor year for the glam- orous ones of filmland
 Hollywoods fondness for costume drama has thrown the bright lights full upon the stalwart figures of it's heroes, and it's ladies have suffered by contrast.
 For in the majority of the big and memorable" pictures of the year the choice roles have fallen to men stars, with the women and girls lowering pretily but rather incon- sequentially in the background.
 The Lives of a Bengal Lancer" struck the keynote for this triumph of the masculine star, with it's team ing of Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone, Sir Guy St ding and Richard Cromwell-and, oh, yes, Kathleen Burke in minor role.
 , March Scores
 Then there was Les Miserables, ; wherein Frederic March, Charles Laughton and Cedric Hardwick took the honors. "Richelieu' was all George Arliss, and The Last Days of Pompeii' mostly Preston Foster ! "Mutiny on the Bounty" except for ! the island interludes, was mans picture, dominated by Gable, Laugh ton and Franchot Tone. In lesser degree, The Three Musketeers. was the same, and while Loretta Young was prominent in "The Crusades, Henry Wilcoxon was dominant. Even in the comparatively modern story ol The Tnformer' there was no fem mine role to approach that of Victor McLaglen in importance.
 Diamond Jim, by its very title as well as content limelighted Edward Arnold, and that star with Peter Lorre focused major attention in Crime and Punishment" Paul MunPs life of '..Pasteur' stirring ly emotional drama on, of all things, medicine!-still is triumph for ac- tors, although the actress, Josephine Hutchinson, shines too.
 Hepburn's Star Role David Copperfield's all-star cast highlighted, of. course. it's title char acter, and naturally. in "A Tale, oi Two Cities despite a glittering cast, Ronald Colman's Sydney Carton is THE starring role.
 On the. feminine side there is, of course, Anna Karenina," in which Garbo's role exceeded that of Fred ric March. an Becky Sharp, ; which spotlighted Miriam Hopkins as Annie Oakley" does Barbara Stanwyck. "So Red the Rose" is principally a picture for Margaret Sullavan and Janet Beecher, and Peter Ibbetson" shares honors equally between Ann Harding and Gary Cooper
 ! Perhaps, however, Alice Adams alone can tone for this years weakness" of the weaker sex. In nc other picture did a leading man have so little to dosa as Fred MacMurray opposite Katharine Hepburn.

FULL POWER
ON RELIEF
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt makes 1t
clear that the rising storms Of
criticism against Harry Hopkins,
Works Progress Administrator have
rolled from him in the figurative
manner Of water from a ducks
back, because in the surprise an
nouncement the President made
at his press conference yesterday,
he outlined a nationwide relief
plan including public works and
rural resettlement and works
progress with Mr.. Hopkins sitting
on the money bags.
There is only one exception to
the czar-like attitude over relief
and attendant policies which is
thus attributed to Mr.. Hopkins.
The President told the newspaper
correspondents plainly that he,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, was the
boss.
PWA and RIA to Continue
The public has been entirely
misled, for one reason or another,
over the program for PWA and
Resettlement under the pending
appropriation bills. and the gen.
eral acceptance of the situation
has been that Public Works and
ReSettlement have been wiped off
the slate for next year. But this,
1t seems, is not so.
But all of 1t comes out Of the
$500 million-dollar bag Of money
which Congress is about to hand
Mr.. Hopkins-and all Of it must
be spent on the basis of local re-
lief needs, and nothing else.
Seeing that Mr.. Hopkins is the
man who tells what these relief
needs are, he is more firmly in the
drivers seat than ever, which is
saying a great deal.
For instance, PWA, which is the
1ckes organization which has built
so many schools, bridges, court
houses, municipal power plants,
hospitals wings, etc., has been
looked on as dead from next
June onward. The reason is that
no money has been appropriated
nor is any likely-for PWA In
those terms.
Works to Get Funds
But the President makes it clear
that these public works can con-
tinue in communities where the
locality is willing to do its own oft
in the way Of proper contributions
plus the requirement that Mr..
Hopkins says there is enough re-
lief labor in that spot to do the
work.
