“DON’T LET MOTHER KNOW,”
PLEaDS MAN Lit AIR
COLUMBUS, 0., Dec. 23.—That his
mother may never know that he died
in the electric chair for killing an
other man was one of the last re
quests of Peter Skribner, sentenced
to be executed before dawn today at
the state penintentiary here, as a
penalty for murdering Detective
Kaiser Bartecki in Columbus last
spring. Officials promised him that
they will not tell her.
A little more than two years ago
Skribner left his mother in Odessa,
Russia. Together they had scraped
and saved $200 so the boy could com*
to America, make good and bring her
to live with him. The pride and con
fidence she has in him show plainly
in the letters found among Skibner’s
effects.
Skribner said his mother was his
only living relative; that he made no
friends in America aside from the
Columbus woman with whom he be
came infatuated and who, it is alleg
ed, took his money and jilted him and
caused the shooting of herself and the
murder of the detective who tried to
arrost Skribner.
Somewhere down a by-street in the
ft
city of Odessa this morning an old
woman dreams as she potters around
her scantily furnished rooms, of a boy
who is working hard at a good job
somwhere in America.

There’s one rubber
boot that has
“made good’’ in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HIPRESS”
= White Boot
“With the Red-Line
— r-K4=^==r- ’round the Top”
You know that when u Hoot
comes in and simply sweeps theeounlry
like ”JJJ PRESS” has done, it's (JOT t<>
be SOMETHING UNUSUAL—for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Hoot Quality.
White Goodrich “HIPRESS” Roots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hol>
nailed leather soles.
The reason for this unusual sendee is that “HJ PRESS" are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned l*>ot. 1 hey
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto I ires-—
welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONK SOLID 1’ILCL.
There's nothing to come apart—they can't leak, peel, crack or split'
They’re comfortable, too — shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White HI PRLSS you 11 m\» r !-•
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is but ONK HIPRESS Root —it has
_ a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on “HIPRESS" write at once for sample* and price*.
This is the best selling, best wearing Boot ever put into Alaska.
