DELEGATE A. !. DIMOND GIVES INTERESTING TALK
 AT DOUGLAS CHAMBER

Visiting the Douglas Chamber of Commerce last night for the first time since the fall of 1886 when nc address a meeting in the old school house, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said: The sympathy that felt for Douglas after the fire is now completely lost in admiration for the remarkable spirit manifest ed by the accomplishments so much in evidence"
 With the new school building, and new city hall, the town now has something to build on for the fu- ture, he said.
 Given the floor, MT. Dimond epoxe on several issues of interest locally and for the Territory at large. What Alaska needs more than anything else, he said, is about ten million dollars worth of advertis- ing. One has only to get around the country to see how little informed people at distance really are about the Territory.
 Editors Are Coming
 Through his efforts, the Nation al Association of Editors will next year hold their annual convention in Alaska and hundreds of repre- sentatives of the smaller papers from towns of 100000 population and less, who usually attend these conventions, will come north, the result being that at least one mill lion dollars worth of advertising for this country will follow
 Asked about the possibilities of getting Federal Aid in having the local harbor restored, the Delegate described the several steps a har- Dor measure must pass through be- fore Federal appropriation is made Rerarking however that there is nothing so important to town than to have a good harbor he counselled continued efforts by the Chamber in the project and offered all the aid he could give.
 Replying to the question, "Is Con- greSs in general keen about the proposed International Highway MT. Dimond said it was and he gave considerable data about what has been done so far and about its present status.
 Regular procedure of the Cham Der business preceded the talk Dy Delegate Dimond. Secretary Kilburn read several communications, one from Harris of Nevada regarding exhibits at the world fair next year to advertise the mineral resources of Alaska, from the FarWest Litho- graphing Company of Seattle ano the Alaeka Sportsman of Ketchikar re-advertising for Douglas; ano last, highlights from the latest news letter from Washington, D. c.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

The hope Of ending war for all time
has been held by great and good men
and women. This hope still lasts,
and there may be growing reason
for it in time to come. The world
knows better than before how foolish
and fearful war is.
Woodrow Wilson tried his best to
hnd way to keep war from breaking
out in the future. He did not invent
the idea of the League of Nations,
but he became the most powerful
leader in bringing it about. Today,
on one Of the buildings of the League
Of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland,
there is a stone tablet with French
words carved on it. The words have
this meaning:
ITO the memory of Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States
and founder of the League of Nations. F"
The idea of the League OF Nations
was for many nations, to meet to-
gether, and to keep any new war
from breaking out. The stopping was
to be done by reason and justice,
not by giving things to a sword
rattling nation to keep it from start
ing war.
France, Great Britain, Poland, Italy,
Spain. Sweden, Canada and the Union
Of South Africa were early members
Of the League. China, India, Persia,
Finland, Denmark, Norway were other
members. Germany, Russia, Mexico
and the Irish Free State came in
later.

Inc opening leaQ was small heart.
East played the queen and South COW
cred with the ace. Declarer then led

which West passed. Dummy discarded
spade and East obviously played one
OF her two remaining hearts. De-
clarer then led the nine OF hearts and
trumped in dummy, with East play
ing the ten. The king, followed by
the ace of clubs, were the next two
plays. and when West showed out.
declarer realized that it would be nee
essary to execute coup in order to
capture East's guarded ten. Dummys
ace and king of diamonds were next
cashed and small diamond was ruffed
by declarer. At the ninth trick de-
clarer led . spade to dummy. Dunn
my's two remaining diamonds were
then played, and East finally was
forced to trump, declarer, of course,
overtrumping and winning all the
tricks.
Il think declarer's strategy is OBJ
vious and sound When the queen of
hearts fell on the first trick it was
apparent that unless West held all
the trumps he must have been banking
on his king Of hearts to set the con-
tract, declarer previously having
shown the heart ace"
We agree that the declarer, Mrs.
Little, played the hand very COM
petently. and while the final result
left nothing to be desired. we do be-
lieve that Mr.. Brinegar's bidding was
somewhat optimistic. His opening
two-bid was somewhat shaded Chat
Is, If he uses the almost universally
customary two-bid, which is absolutely
forcing to game. In our opinion the
final seven should have been bid by
South If any one. But then you can't
do much better than make a grand
slam doubled, and we therefore apollo
gize for any criticism we have offered
and tender our congratulations.

exception-the United States Of
America, the richest and in some ways
the most powerful of all nations on
earth. Woodrow Wilson did all he
could to get the United States Senate
TO agree to 60 in, but he failed.
Even without the United States, the
League of Nations might have been
a success-if it had not been for cer-
tain rules about voting. The rules
made 1t hard for the League to decide
any question Of importance, because
all nations had to agree. This meant
that q single nation could stand in the
way of action, against the will OF all
other nations.
Despite those rules. the League Of
Nations has done some good work,

Vital to Defense
By DOROTHY KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, March IS QN.SO
A bizarre bedroom scene" was to
be reconstructed in Bronx County
court today at the trial Of 81
year-old Patricia Ryan, who shot
and killed her husband. Patrol
man Michael J. Ryan, because OF
his "beastliness."
The mattress on which the
rookie cop was lying when Mrs.
Ryan opened fire with his own
revolver. the bedsprings and
chair will be brought into the
, courtroom for the jury to see in a
rough reconstruction Of the crime
scene.
FIRED THREE SHOTS
Patrick Boland, the slim defend
ants father, will be recalled to
the stand to identify the articles.
The defense probably will rest
before the noon recess, after which
rebuttal witnesses will be sum-
moned.
1t is quite possible that Mrs.
Ryan will be asked to demonstrate
Just where she was standing when
her husband started to spring" at
her, and also to show the position
OF the chair in relation to the bed.
Mrs. Ryan fired three shots. The
first shot struck the recumbent
Ryan in the leg. the second in
the heart, the third shot hit the
chair.
STAINS IMPORTANT
Immediately after the crime the
State took possession of the bull !
letriddled sheet and blanket as
evidence.
If there are no bloodstains on
Ghe mattress, it would indicate, &C
cording to the defense theory,
Ryan was leaping toward his wife.
The mattress, bedsprings and
chair were inspected by Assistant
District Attorney Martin Frank
after Judge Patterson had re-
fused to allow the jury to be
taken to the bedroom where the
Staying took place on October 81,
last.
TO CALL PSYCHIATRIST
After the jury views these ex-
hibits, the defense will call a
psychiatrist, whose identity has not
been disclosed. He will be put on
the stand to substantiate the
theory Mrs. Ryan was temporarily
insane when she opened fire.
The slain mans mother, Mrs.
Mary Ryan; his father, William
Ryan; his brother, William Ryan,
jr., and his two sisters, Miss Mary
Ryan and Mrs. Margaret Pelle-
erino. will be called in rebuttal by
the State.
Judge Patterson indicated he be-
lieved the case may go to the jury
tomorrow.

the last Congress by the Bar Asso-
citation as a result of a four-year
study made by its Committee on
Corporations under the direction OF
William E. Richardson, now vice
chairman of the committee. A bill
designed to modernize the law was
introduced by Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee after the
Bar Association made its report, but
the proposed legislation died with
the Seventy-flfth Congress.
Study License Features.
The tax experts, however, believe
It might be possible to include the
proposed changes in the new revenue
bill to be considered by the Seventy
sixth Congress by the simple expedi-
ent of writing the provisions in the
from of license features rather than
direct legislation.
Another revenue-producing plan
considered by the tax experts, 1t was
learned, is designed to produce more
revenue from privately owned auto
mobile parking lots.
The sites on which these parking
lots are located, it was pointed out,
formerly yielded more revenue to the
District than at present. In most
instances, it was explained, buildings
had to be razed to make way for
the parking lots.
These buildings yielded tax rev.
enue whether occupied or not, but
now the District can assess the lots
only as unimproved property. The
irony of the situation as far as the
municipal officials are concerned, is
that most of the parking lots are
said to be producing a greater re-
turn for the owners than did the
buildings which were torn down.
yet the tax bills on the property are
lighter.

American republics would express
