side of the situation expressed in

turn" but whichever way Ca
pone turns he will find his free
dom has a string attached.
No dcthroned lord OF the
underworld ever lived TO enjoy
complete freedom. There are
too many who resent his do
minion over them. They don't
forget the iron heel and the
brass hat. Mr.. Capone will
have to be careful where he is
seen.
He also will have the handicap
Of the watchful eye of agents Of
the department of justice. There
is not much enjoyment in the
freedom supervised by the fed
eral police.
Capone Is another example OF
how the chickens came home to
roost. A lame brain at tbs
start, he thought he was smart
enough to beat game that has
been unbeatable since Adam and
Eve were turned out of the Gar
den of Eden.
Mr.. Capone will continue to
pay the penalty. The tragedy Of
it is that he was a creation Of
supposedly decent, respectable
persons who thought it was
smart to buy his bootleg whisky.

volcano waterproof again, at

Mr.. Cspone and The Bird
With a Broken Pinion

IF THERE had been the slight
est hope Of fact behind the
Mysteries raised a couple of years
ago about an alleged attempt TO
pack the United States su-
preme court to insure favorable
New Deal decisions, the heavens
surely should fall now. All OF
the calamities predicted should
begin to appear. for with the
passing of Justice Butler, ma
jority Of the members of the
highest tribunal will be Roose-
Welt appointees.
But none of the calamities will
appear-no more than they did

John Marshall in 1886. Mar

greatest constitutional lawyers

garded as the heart and soul OF
the constitutional authority as
that document was interpreted
by the supreme court. There
was a great uproar when fancy
was appointed by President JEFF
ferson to succeed Marshall.
Nothing but disaster could re-
suit.
When fancy began to undo
presidents established by Mar
shall, those Of the opposite
political faith were sure that
the end Of the world was due.
But nothing happened.
Later, when it became neces-
sary to change the makeup of
the supreme court to maintain
the financial stability of the gov
eminent in the civil war period,
there were other predictions of
the end Of constitutional govern
ment. But again nothing hap
pened that wasn't for the benefit
of the country as a whole.

JAPANESE GEAR B0Y(0TTED BY
 PURSE SEWERS

The Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Unlon, now affiliated with the new Seafarers International Union of North America, recently adopted a resolution That we hereafter boy cott and refuse to use Japanese im- ported gear and that all fisher men, when purchasing equipment, examine it to be sure that it is of American manufacture.
 Among the reasons given for this action in the preamble to the reso- lution, it is stated that Japanese fishermen, under government sub sidy, in recent years have attempt ed to make inroads upon American fishing grounds that they are now undermining the Southern Califor- mia fishermen by underselling methods; that government subsidies and cheap coolie labor enable Japan to undersell American producers in the American and British markets, at the expense of American fisher men; that the Japanese promote sales of their products by an un- ethical practice of camouflaging their products with pictures of Am erican cannerieS and white fisher men, misleading European buyers: and that Japanese netting of in- ferior quality is being sold in Am erica, at the expense of American industry and labor.

HARRY LEX GIVEN SOME
 DISTINCTION
Superintendent of Mt. Me- KinIey Park Has Per-
 haps Set Two Marks

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. March 29 tSpeciaD-A visit this week tt Death Valley National Monumen brought Harry Lick, Superintendent of Mt. Mckinley National Park ir Alaska, a new distinction of being probably the only man in the count " who has stood on the highest ano lowest elevations in United States territory, the regional office of the National Park Service. Department of the Interior reveals.
 Several years ago Superintendent Lick attained international fame by reaching both summits of McKin- ley. the south peak of which is 20 300 feet high and the north peak only 300 feet lower. This feat was not accomplished until 1882 and has not been repeated since. Although there have been a number of at tempts. Mt. Mckinley is the highest mountain the United States possess eS
 Death Valley reaches the opposite extreme. When Superintendent Lick visited Badwater he was 280 feet below sea level, even though he was only a few miles from snow-covered Telescope Peak, over ll,000 feet high. While Mckinley is 20.30O feet high, at Badwater he was 20,580 feet below its summit.
 Superintendent Lick plans to re- turn to Alaska in April to begin preparations for the 1889 travel sea- son. Even though the Park is far in land, 348 miles from Seward the closest railhead on the coast and 123 miles from Fairbanks, the h. terior Alaska metropolis, summer travel has been showing consistent increase Five trains a week arrive from these cities at Mckinley sta- ton. There is little or no tourist automobile travel
 A new hotel is near completion in the park and will be in readiness for visitors next summer, Superinten- dent Lick reported,
 The principal scenic feature is, of course, Mt. Mckinley, rising IT, 900 feet directly above it's 5000 foot tjmberline However nearby are Mt. Foraker, 17,O00 feet high, Mt. Hunt CT, l4,960 and Mt Russell, l1600 feet. All of the largest northward flowing glacier sfrom the Alaska Mountain Range have their source on Mckinley and Foraker.
