FINE DRAMAS
 FEATURED AT
 SHOW HOUSES
Mister Hobo Showing at Capitol Ship Cafe
 Plays at Coliseum

Features now playing at the local theatres are Mister Hobo" starring George Arliss at the Capitol Theatre and Ship Cafe playing at the Coliseum Theatre.
 The light side of George Arliss is without a doubt a bright, happy and joyous thing Certainly the light side of this splendid artist makes Mister Hobo" an hilarious comedy flecked with the sunshine of good humor. It mckes the world a pleas anter place to live in and it is a lot more valuable than a hundred sermons on loving your neighbor or scores of homilies at the bright side of things.
 High-spirited and gay, with re- freshing lit and life, Ship Cafe has Carl Brisson as its star. Bris- son rises to new heights in new type of role that gives him ample scope to express his versatile tal- ents in every direction, as a singer, fighter, light comedian and dramatic actor.

DiSCOverer of CheeChakO Hill
 to Homestead
W. J. Mertaught, Aged 72, Will Take l60 Acres
 at Kasilof

Tired of roaming across the face of the earth without a place to call home, w. J. Mertaugh, aged 72 years and discoverer of the famous Cheechako Hill at Dawson in 1897, has taken up a 16O-acre homestead at Kasilof, according to an inter view recently published in the An chorage Times.
 He first came to Alaska in 1896 prospecting around Circle and then at Dawson the following year. It was there that he struck it rich by discovering a rich paystreak calling it Cheechako Hill. His part ner was Oliver Millet
 Struck It Rich
 The discovery was given the name of Cheechako Hill because it was located in such an unsuSpecting place that when the Government official arrived to approve the claim, he remarked, Let's call it Cheechako Hill because only a Cheechako would look there for gold"
 The claim proved to be one of the richest in the Klondike coun- try. MT Mertaugh then went to Nome to get in on that gold rush and left in 1901 a rich man.
 He travelled to South America doing some prospecting aroun d Peru and then crossed over to Capetown, Africa. Later he return ed to the West Indies.
 In 1904 he returned to Alaska and has been here ever since.
 Wants a Home
 He was employed with the Alaska Railroad at Nenana in 1917. Since then he has been prospecting and at present is interested in gold possibilities near Kasilof.
 q want to have home to come to when I get tired of prospecting and so I decided to take up this homestead" he remarked.

NAVY GAME CITY
To ROUTE AUTOISTS
Philadelphia to Mark Roads for
Quick Trip to Municipal
Stadium.

Thousands Of Washington foot ball
fans preparing to motor to the Army
Navy game in Philadelphia Satur-
day can take advantage this year of
special routes marked out in the
Quaker City to direct them to Munich
pal Stadium with the least possible
delay.
The early demand for tickets indi-
Gated an unusually large attendance
from Washington. Traffic officials in
Philadelphia have planned routes for
motorists entering the city from
Washington and Baltimore to avoid
downtown congestion.
Motorists approaching PHILADELPHIA
on United States routes No. l and
No. 13 will be directed by special
signs to turn right on Primos road,
also known as Oak avenue, at the
intersection Of Baltimore Pike and
Chester Pike.
The signs will point along Hook
road to Eighty-fourth street and
along Penrose avenue into the stadi-
um area. according to an announce
ment today by the Navy Athletic
Association.
Alternate routes for this trafic also
will be marked on Woodland avenue
at Grays Ferry road and on Balti.
more avenue at University avenue.
Traffic approaching the city from
other directions will be guided by
similar signs, it was said.

Ne,U Court Room,
Here Equipped
For BrOadcasts
Building Is Wired in
Anticipation of Fu-
fure HOOk.Ups.

One of the six court rooms to be
provided in the new Police Court
Building to be erected in Judiciary
Square will be wired so proceedings
there may be broadcast, if the judges
so decree. 1t was learned today.
Plans have been drawn for installa-
ton only Of the necessary wiring and
outlets, in anticipation of the day
when the judges may approve the
broadcasting. 1t was said. The de-
cision would rest with members of the
bench, rather than with the District
Commissioners. officials explained.
The fact that plans call for wiring
only one Of the court rooms in the
new building suggested that the broad
casting might be considered particu-
larly for Traffic Court proceedings.
Police Court judges have recelved
petitions to broadcast cases as a part
Of drives for reducing traffic deaths
and accidents. In the past, however
the judges have refused to consider
such proposals.
One of the judges said today he
would not oppose broadcasting OF
court proceedings, but that some OF
the other judges were in opposition.
With the wiring and outlets in
place, it would be simple matter to
set up equipment needed for broad
cast.

for this week end is Of long duration.
Attorneys for business houses. Mex
lean and foreign, have asserted the
legislation will authorize the govern
ment to appropriate for worker-ad-
ministration stores, shops. factories
and hotels or apartment houses closed
by strikes.
The clauses which reused concern
would allow the government to take
over property for equitable distribu-
ton of wealth. and the "esta blish-

Fear appropriation.
Oil operators, first to be faced by

pressed belief their property might
be appropriated. The oil workers want
q blanket labor contract and long va
cations with pay.
The oil companies have flatly re-
fused to accept the syndicate's blanket
contract demand, and leaders of the
union (syndicate) planned to place
the question before President Lazaro
| Cardenas, who is at Torreon.
Twenty-nine oil companies declared
in a statement they were greatly
surprised" at the unions threat to
strike unless the demands were ac-
cepted within 10 days.
They said it was impossible to dis
cuss and approve the proposed con-
tract in the specified period because
it contains nearly $50 clauses COW

How am I, or any other banker,

workers."
