LAB0YTEAUx E MADE BIG CHIEF
 BY LOCAL TRIBE

With due ceremony C. H. Ala bam" LaBoyteaux last night be- came a chief in the Raven Tribe of the Thinglet Indians.
 His new name betokens the old salmon without any teeth who swim up the river to die and thus provide for future generations to come.
 The initiation of the Livengood Senator into the tribe took place in the dining salon of the Baranof Hotel as part of the ceremonies attending the gala evening.
 Following a radio program under the indirect auspices of Big Chief Robert Simpson, the Indian group staged another minute drama in the dining salon after the banquet tables were removed
 The Ready Answer veteran leg islator took his seat at the side of four native women and listened to an address of commendation by Cyril zuboff delivered in the native tongue and interpreted by William Paul.
 At the conclusion of the remarks, Zuboff attired in red bedecked chieftain's robe, tapped "Alabam' lightly on the head with an Indian talisman making him an honorary chieftain.
 Also a small totem pole offered as token of friendship was given, the Senator.
 Suspicioning that the ceremony was an occasion of a Greek bearing gifts, "Alabam" arose to make plain that if the gift was offered in friendship he accepts it, if offered otherwise he still accepted, also otherwise.
 Commenting then on the native prohibition bill which was intro duced by him in the last legislative session, and was strongly protested by natives of Southeast Alaska, the Senator brought out that the meas ure was at the behest of other groups who after it's introduction failed to come forward with their support.
 The crowd gave him big hand.

 More Rockies

CHICAGO, March 11.--More than 100 rockies were taken to American League training camps year ago. A very satisfactory percentage of them did well enough to be retained. Among the survivors were such stars as Godfrey Heath, Kenneth Keltner and Pitcher John Humphries of Cleveland, Pitcher Jim Bagby of Boston, Second Baseman Joe Cor don of New York, First Baseman George McQuinn of St. Louis and Pitchers Leonard and Krakauskas and Outfielders. Case and Wright of Washington.
 All of those mentioned were tout ed as having the ability to stick in the American League when minor league managers were interviewed at the minor league meeting at Mill waukee in 1887. At the last meeting of the minors in New Orleans in December, another canvas was made in regard to the 1889 crop of rockies, two or three managers in each minor circuit being contacted.
 According to those managers, the Boston Red Sox are believed to have grabbed two regulars in Third Base man Jim Tabor and Outfielder Ted Williams of Minneapolis while Pitch CT Woodrow Rich of Little Rock is believed to have an excellent chance
 Vic Frasier and Al Bejma, both of St. Paul, will help the White Sox and either Kenneth Sylvestri of St. Paul or Mike Fresh of Buffalo will do plenty of work behind the bat. The one who hits the better prob ably will land regular berth.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Around the ring.
 Another young Irish boxing rookie has popped up to chal- lenge Pat Comiskey, the most likely-looking newcomer the game has seen in several years He's Jim my Quigley of Philadelphia and points east.
 Comiskey has had a dozen fights and won all but one by knockouts A chubby clubber named Simpson went four rounds with him.
 Pat is the lad. some critics say punches harder than Joe Louis. He was such an immediate hit with the Manhattan fight faithful that sports writers began featuring his preliminary -four-rounders along with the main bouts. Most up- coming youngsters want no part of Patrick Edward Comiskey but Quigley would like taste of him.

 "Comiskey may be Irish but the name sounds Polish to me-" cracks Quigley, who was born on Done gal, Ireland.
 Billy Conn, the overgrown mid dleweight who gave Fred Apostoli, world champion in New York, two lacings, is one of the sweetest box CTS in the game He has a beautiful left hand.
 But he doesn't hit hard enough to worry the big boys. Some say he'll never hit hard enough. Others reply that additional weight will bring a stronger punch. Conn weighs just under TO now.

 After watching Lou Ambers shoot lefts and rights from jumping jack angles, many boxing enthusiasts have shook their heads and sighed: If he could only punch"
 Al Weill, the portly pilot who the former world light weight champion. explains that Lou can punch, but won't. Here's the story:
 Three years ago Lou fought Tony Scarpati. He gave him a good shel- for six rounds. In the sev- enth Tony led left. Ambers hooked to the body and his right cross caught the oncoming Scarpati flush on the jaw.
 Scarpati's feet went up, his body fell and his head hit the canvas. The bell rang. But Scarpati was still unconscious after the minutes rest. He was taken to a hospital. Three days later he was dead.

visited IT. R." several times. He was
going horseback riding with President
Roosevelt one morning and arrived at
the White House with his valet and
bags, expecting to change his clothes
in the Presidents house. With all the
Roosevelt children. and the family
staying at the White House. there
wasn't a room in the place available,
and he had to 60 back to the Embassy.
The story was made much of and
Congress finally appropriated the
necessary money for the undermining
and enlarging of the White House.
In the original plans for the White
House no provision was made for
fitting library Even when Herbert
Hoover first went in. the library
consisted of only few shelves built
into the walls OH opposite sides of
the oval room, and two bookcases.
And they we're entirely empty! The
old books that had once belonged to
the White House were stored in the
Congressional Library. and those
which had occupied the shelves during
Coolidge's administration had been
parts of his own personal collection.
After the Franklin D. Roosevelts
came a real White House library de-
veloped. With the help of the Ameri-
can booksellers and publishers, and
the Roosevelts themselves, who are all
natural collectors, good book collec-
ton began to grow, and there is now
a large, comfortable. book-lined Ii
brary on the ground floor.
Not until MIR. Mckim did over the
White House for Theodore Roosevelt
was the state dining room big enough
to entertain large party. the kind OF
dinner that will have to be given for
the King and Queen of England. The
present dining room can seat 200 peo-
pie. 1t is a long paneled room with
only two paintings in it - the famous
portrait Of Washington. which Dolly
Madison rescued when the British
burned the White House, hangs over
the mantel. A full-length portrait of
Lincoln occupies the north wall.
Most of the wives of the new Presi-
dents coming to the White House

the White House will be its efficient
air-conditioning plant, installed during
Franklin Roosevelt's first term.
Mrs. Roosevelt plans one evening
OF typical American entertainment
for the King and Queen. 1t will follow
a dinner given the first or second
night, at which the guests will be
limited to the Presidents family and
the Kings official encourage.
Because the pressure for invitations
to the White House during the Kings
visit was certain to be very great. and
also because the list of important
Americans who might be included
would run into the thousands, it
became necessary for the invitation
list to be limited to Cabinet officers,
members of the Senate, the House.
the Supreme Court, the heads of the
Army and the Navy - and their
wives. Even this restricted list will
fill the White House to overflowing.
Such little problems as whether or
not the King will stand or sit to re-
ceive are not so simple to solve. AS
President Roosevelt should not stand
during that long period. it is likely
that both the King and the President
will be seated, as will also the Queen
and Mrs. Roosevelt When all Of the
formalities shall have been met, and
what will be the closest to court
ever held in this country shall havf
come to its close. it may be that
Franklin D. Roosevelt and King
George vi will draw deep sighs OF
relief and plunge into discussion of
COINS or stamps or sailing ships.
No one will know what words pass
between these rulers of two OF the
greatest nations of the earth. 1t may
be that neither of them will know the
deep thoughts of the other. But the
significance Of their meeting in one OF
the most critical hours in the history
of mankind cannot be taken lightly.
In other crises the rulers of the British
Empire have sent their ministers and.
on occasion, their sons. In this mo-
ment when the fate of the DemoCraclcs
hangs in the balance, the King has
broken tradition and come in person.
