WEATHER SYNOPSIS

Alaskan cruise aboard his own yacht, purchased nearly a year ago from Campbell Church, who in turn had acquired it from the noted writ CT Stewart Edward White, has made his way northward before, aboard the Campbell Church yachts Vest ward and Caroline.
 Last season he loosed one arrow at big brown bear on Admiralty Island, but missed Joe Ibach, Lem esurier Island guide, has sent him reports of a mammoth brownie 'staked out at the north end of Chi chagof Island, though, and in the fall of next year he intends to emu late William Tell into that section and puncture MT. Bear with one of his special duralumin arrows, loosed from an 85-pound longbow
 q will have to go into training early in the spring" he said, "so that when our brownie hoves in sight I will be able to draw my bow for the shot that will net me one large bear rug.' Y

SANTA BARBARA. YACHTSMAN HAS
 OWN OWN NEW SPORT
Phillips Goes After Porpoise with Bow and Arrow
 from Yacht Kuru

Speaking of porpoise! Two of them have got away from his thus far, but L. R. Phillips and his trusty bow and arrow are set to bag one yet.
 MT. Phillips, who, with his wife and two small sons, has been cruis-, ing Southeast Alaska waters since leaving Seattle July 10 aboard his yacht, the Kuru, hit upon the idea of sinking a shaft into the hump of one of the big sea mammals as it broke water, then playing it with rod and reel, much in the manner of swordfish of marlin, in fishing for which he has had considerable ex- perience.
 The novel idea came to MT Phil lips as his yacht was cruising in Lynn Canal and he and his family were watching a school of porpoise sporting about the vessel. So far, all the sport their cruise had af- forded was a bit of regular salmon and trout fishing, with the .22 pot ting of a few eagles thrown in, But here was an idea that gave real promise.
 Tackle Rigged
 No time to be lost. An arrow was rigged with a broad spring-steel head, to which was affixed about a foot of stout wire leader, to which, in turn, was fastened the reg ular swordfish tackle, such as he was wont to use in his home waters along the California coast, off his home city of Santa Barbara.
 Notching his arrow to a 65-pound MT. Phillips took his stand on the bow of the Kuru, weapon poised, waiting for the surface ward thrust of a large porpoise. A three hundred pounder broke wa ter. and MT. Phillips let fly, the shaft flashing home Promptly dis carding his bow, the ingenious sportsman braced himself against the vessels rail ready for the battle with rod and line-a battle that was destined to rage for forty minutes before MT Porpoise took advantage of a frayed line that forced MT Phillips to shorten his run, was able to break free from the willow wand in his side.
 PorpOise Game Fighter
 T never had better sport" MT Phillips declare dhere following the Kurus arrival in port last evening. The porpoise matches the marlin in weight and strength, as well as gameness, and as he lays only his middle vulnerable to a shot, he is perfectly free to run as he will having no such drag on him as he would if hooked from the mouth Such sport was not to be missed MT. Phillips tried his game again and put shaft into a second DOT boise This time, however, the bat tie lasted only briefly. the line foul | ing on the arrow as it was shot anc being so weakened that the quarry was soon able to part it and go his way, leaving the sportsman discon- solately to reel in his slack line.
 MT. Phillips now has another ar row prepared and his bow at hand He is looking toward another en- lcounter with the big babies before Iten days hence, his Kuru slips into bort at Seattle, his Alaskan inter. llude ended for this summer

High Court Recognizes
 Defendants Motion
Status of Contested Compensation Case Remains in
 Doubt-Judge McEvOy's Ruling Sustained

Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the supreme court of errors of Connecticut today recognized the motion of the defense in the com- pensation claim of George A. France against William D. Munson of Mid dlebury, and dismissed Frances ap- peal from an order passed in su- perior court here by Judge Frank F. McEvoy last February 27.
 Several appeals have accom- panied the trial of the claim since Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch entered a compensation finding and award in favor of France, an employe of Munson's at his Middlebury property.
 Status Puzzles
 The dismissal of the appeal leaves the case in somewhat ques- tion, whether further motions will be heard in superior court, or if Commissioner Lynch will have to act on the order of the court as of February 27.
 The court order, from which France appealed. sent the compen- sation case back to Commissioner Lynch for further consideration and the hearing of further evidence.
 Originally Commissioner Lynch filed the award in favor of France and Munson immediately appealed to superior court seeking reversal of the award. Several motions were heard, and Judge McEvoy iana]ly entered an order to Commissioner Lynch that he hear further evil

 However, it is too soon to start the campaign and I, for one, am not going to do it. October, as usual, will take care of itself.
 Praise for Roosevelt
 I do not want to let this occas- ion pass without saying something which I think needs to be said. We are enjoying the return of prosperity ill Waterbury. That re- turn was made possible by the heart and the head and the in- spired leadership of President Roosevelt.
 For some months past the Presi- dent has been subjected to vit- riolic criticism. That criticism is becoming more vicious, more un- just, and more unreasonable day by day.
 All his old foes are at this throat.
 The same old accusations are being made. The same discredited bogey men of dictatorship, of set ting up a new kind of government in this country, of a desire to rule or ruin are being resurrected in these hours when civil war is raging in the labor world.

 Attorney Michael V. Blansfield. as attorney for France, appealed to supreme court, with the claim chat the order should not have been en- tered, and that the superior court case should be tried without the further hearing by Commissioner Lynch. ...

labor difficulties is sneered at and derided by the same elements which opposed his reelection in '36.
 He just set up a mediation board to bring about peace in the steel business and has been charged with packing" it when the mem bers of it are men above reproach or suspicion.
 It is the same thing all the way down the line.
 Boiled down it is an attempt to discredit the Democratic admin. iStration in the eyes of the people.
 Summed up it is an effort to bring back to power the Republi- can party in the nation.
 It will fail.
 Prestige of President
 Regardless of what anyone may, say, regardless of what anyone may read in print, outside of the few quarters where he never had it, the prestige of President Roose- vent is as undiminiShed as it ever was. The trust and affection of the great masses of the people remains solidly in him.
 I am sure that I am voicing the sentiments of every Democrat in Waterbury when I say that the loyalty of the party to him is as steadfast as ever, its devotion to him as unqualified. and its deter imitation to stand by him and with him through thick and thin is more firm today than it was when he first took on the almost impossible task of leading the country away from the horrors of the depression, of lifting us out
