WEIRD LOVE RECALLED

der the key to the tomb, which
he had kept.
Tanzler inhabited a ramshackle
dwelling known as Meacham's
Garage. In it, next to his own
bed. he had carefully preserved
the bed in which the lovely
Elena had breathed her last.
While he purportedly was seek
ing the key to the vault, Mrs.
%fedina peered under the netting
that covered the bed and was
Mortified to see what apparently
was the nude body of her long
dead sister, bedecked wit h
jewelry and trinkets, and with
cheeks and lips painted to simu-
late life.
The authorities were imme-
diately notified and the Count
interrogated concerning his ac-
tions. He admitted having stolen
the body from its crept about
nine years before, and of having
practiced strange acts of NEGRO
nancy in an effort to restore life
to the preserved body. He had
carefully cleaned away all signs
of decay, and using plaster of
Paris, wax, and cheese cloth to
build up the tissues, had artfully
wrought a semblance of life.
Although the details of this
strange love affair shocked the
entire nation, the authorities
found that it was impossible to
prosecute the hite-haired alien
for any breach of the criminal
law. A statute of limitation bars
prosecution for the crime of
grave-robbing if more than seven
years have elapsed after the COM
mission of the crime. Since more
than seven years had elapsed
since the "Count" had eloped
from the cemetery with his dead
sweetheart, the authorities were
compelled to release him.

In MEMORIAM


In loving memory of our dear
son and brother, Charles H.
Pierce who passed away from us
on July IL, 1910:
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still;
But death has left loneliness,
The world can never fill.
No one knows how much we miss
you,
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered since we lost
you,
Life can never be the same.
In our heart your memory fingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true;
There is not day, dear Charles,
That we do not think of you.
In the graveyard sleeping sweet
ly,
Where the flowers gently
wave;
Lies the one we love so dearly,
But whom we could not save.
No one knows the silent heart
aches,
Only those who have lost can
tell;
OF the grief that is borne in
silence,
For the one we love SO well.

 The trial of Sinclair dor con- tempD was suspended while OLeary was being tried OLeary was acquitted and he continued the prosecution of Sinclair with the re- suit that Sinclair served a jail term.

After he had convicted capitally a number of persons who were hang ed, OLeary wrote the bill (which later became law changing cap ital punishment in the District of Columbia from hanging to electro i cution and he prosecuted to cleo trocution under the new law, af- ter conducting the habeas corpus cases involving the legal point that the change of punishment was un- constitutional as being an ex post facto law.

 RELIEF FOR GOLD MINERS

Delegate Bartlett has testified fa- vorably in behalf of a bill provid- ing financial relief for owners of gold mines who had to close their mines or curtail operations as the result of restrictions imposed by the limitation order L-208 of the War Production Board.
 The bill, H. R. 1893, was intro duced by Congressman Engle of California, and hearings are being held before the subcommittee of the House War Claims Committee of which MT. Engle is chairman. The measure provides that with in six months after it becomes law a gold mine operator may submit claims for the amount of loss, in- cluding the costs of placing the mine in it's pre-L-208 condition, caused by closing the mine or cur tailing operations.
 All claims would be considered and certified by an examiner ap- pointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and provision is made for appeals from the examiners deci- sions through the United States District Courts.
 Carl Lomen of Nome and Seattle and Philip Bradley, Jr., interested in several mines in Alaska, includ- ing the Alaska Juneau Gold mine, also appeared before the subcom- n1ittee in endorsement of the bill.

 ASSERTS BARTLETT
BY MARY LEE COUNCIL. Secretary to Delegate E. L. Bartlett

WASHINGTON Feb. 15-(Spec- ial Correspondence)- comment Ing on the departure from the Cab inet of Harold L. Ickes, Delegate Bartlett said that "in all the long years during which he was virtual overlord of Alaska, he failed to de- vote to Alaska the time and atten- tion which its perpleXing problems deserved. Perhaps that is just as well, because whenever his fleeting interest was aroused, it was almost uniformly misdirected.
 He left in a veritable thunder of verbiage. claiming for himself, as he always had, almost exclusive possession of honesty and good in- tent. Oddly enough, at his final press conference, Ickes refused to make direct answer to a report CTS contention that at the very moment he was opposing the nom ination of one oil man for an ad- ministration post, he was said to be actively promoting another and biggerl-oil man for the position of Under Secretary of the Interior.
 Alaska is the gainer by his leav- ing no matter what. the circum- stances of his going were. It is difficult-for me, at the moment. it is impossible-to imagine any who would not be an inn provement in his relations with AL aska and Alaskans."
