DUKE OF YORK TO
 BE GEORGE, SIXTH
House of Commons, House of Lords Called Tn
 Historic Session
BULLETIN - LONDON, Dec. 1.-The new King of the Brit ish Empire will be officially known as King George the Sixth.
MEDICATION OFFICIAL

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The greatest empire on earth, the British Elm pire, today gave up Edward the Eighth as King and placed Ed wards oldest brother, Albert Fred erick Arthur George on the throne.
 Tn three swift hours, the House of Commons and the House of Lords approved the abdication of the 327-day sovereign who chose marriage to the twice divorced Am erican, Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simp- son, to the throne.
 The Royal Commission passed the Royal Consent Act at 1:52 o'clock this afternoon which was 5:52 o'clock this morning, Pacific Coast Standard Time, and Edward ceased to reign.
 Heralds will probably proclaim the Duke of York as King who will probably be known as King George the Sixth. The new name awaits official confirmation but it is gen. erally expected that it will be King George the Sxith, thus con- tinuing the heritage of his late father, King George the Fifth.
 The proclamation by the heralds will be under the mediaeval rite. The Duke of York, however, became King when the Royal Commissions Act was passed by Parliament after a session of exactly two hours and fifty-two minutes.
 The House of Commons meets to- morrow to take the oath of alleg- lance.
 The new King will probably pres ent his first essage, through Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, on Monday, his forty-first birthday
 The Prime Minister told Parlia- ment today that the governments of Canada, Australia, New Zea- land and South Africa have com municated their desire to be "as- sociated with this new bill of the Royal Commission"

M 'NAMARA BACK MOUNTAIN PROBE.
Weather Conditions Inter fere with Investigation
 Samples Taken

Returning from an investigation of Mountain Leather" properties on Lemesurier Island, J. J. McNa- mara, mining engineer who is ex- amining the deposits for syndi- cate interested by Rex Beach, re- turned to Juneau yesterday after noon aboard Capt Tom Smiths diesel boat Yakobi.
 MT. McNamara, who was accom- panied by Mrs. McNamara and a crew of two men, reported a very enjoyable stay on the Island, where the party received exceptional hos pitality from MT. and Mrs. Joe Iback. However, MT. McNamara said that weather conditions great ly interfered with his investiga- tions and he and his crew were able to climb to the precipitous location of the deposits on only one day.
 Mineral Samples
 During the first of the ten days they spent on Lemesurier Island rain rendered the mineral location inaccessible and it was not until the one clear day before it started to snow that they were able to make the ascent. On that occas- ion they took several hundred sam ples of the mineral, which they brought back to Juneau with them.
 Back in Juneau MT McNamara has joined J. c. Feeley, of Los Angeles, also mining engineer who is to examine the deposits for the same syndicate, and who may leave for the island in the very near fu- ture.
 Further Investigation
 MT. McNamara, who said he had never before seen so much snow fall in 24 hours as did at Lemes- urier, stated he was not at present in a position to disclose any re- suits of his findings, except that a much more thorough investiga- ton must be made
 Especially constructed machinery will be necessary to make the fur ther examination, and. as weather conditions during the next few months will be unlikely for the pros ecution of the work, and as the maritime strike interferes with the shipment of the necessary equip ment, he considered it probably wis CT to wait until better conditions prevail before completing the find ings.
 MT. McNamara said that he and Mrs. McNamara will likely return to the States with his samples, as soon as is possible, and return when he feels he can continue with less difficulty.
 In the meantime, MT. Feeley, who declared the voyage up the Inside Passage the most beautiful he has ever seen in any of his travels, will proceed with his own inquiries into the possibilities of the deposits of Mountain Leather"

blind INSTITUTION
| ORDERED TO MOVE
Harriet Tubman Aid Must
Vacate Home by Court
Order.

Municipal Judge George c. Aukam
ruled today that the Harriet Tubman
Aid for the Blind, colored institu-
ton, will have to vacate premises 1t
now occupies at 1416 Eleventh street.
The decision was granted the D H.
Johnson Co. for Arville j. Thcma,
owner. 1t was alleged in the petition
that Charlotte Hunter, executive sec
rotary of the institution, had failed to
pay rent on the premises for the past
several months and that she now owes
the company $3.50 at the rate of $45
q month. Miss Hunter claimed she
rendered the rent to the real estate
company each month and that it was
refused without explanation. She de-
MED the home for the blind owed
the money.
Money Not Demanded.
Judge Aukams ruling does not re-
quire a payment Of the $3.50 allegedly
due the company nor the cost of the
suit. He allowed only that the COM
pany take possession of the property
The decision was granted on default,
the defendant failing to appear in
court at $50 am, the time set for
hearing. Elwood G. Hubert, attorney,
representing the Home for the Blind,
appeared in court at 9:40 am. and
learned that he had lost his case.
He notified the court he will ask that
the judgment be set aside
The eviction of the blind institu-
ton eliminates a gradual decline of
Miss Hunters fortunes since she re-
tired as a school teacher. When she
began the work of aiding the blind
she owned the property involved in
the suit this morning.
Last year, the home was wrested
from her by the foreclosure of mort
gage. She leased the property from
the Thoma interests after losing it
and has operated since by paying
rent, she claims.
Miss Hunter also claims that she
has donated $4,000 of her private
fortune in the work and that other
thousands of dollars have been con-
tributed by outstanding citizens.
Prof Kelly Miller, former dean of
Howard University, is president of the
blind aid organization.
