FORMER MltilONMRE'S
YACHT NOW RIOTER
A dignified schooner made it’s ap
pearance in the harbor yesterday
and was the center of all eyes when
it became known the boat was the
Canadian schooner Jesse, Captain
Myers, a former millionaire’s yacht,
but now engaged in the pursuit of
the elusive halibut. The schooner
has a 25 foot beam and on it’s keel
are 25 tons of steel for ballast.
As can be imagined the accommo
dations for the crew of 11 is all to
be desired and far above that found
in the average halibuter. Ii is said
the vessel was built 15 years ago.
Due to developing engine trouble the
run to this port was made and at
the same time 18,000 of halibut was
disposed of to the local San Juan
Packing & Fishing Co., cold storage
plant. It is exepcted the Jesse will
get under way for the banks agaitr
sometime this afternoon. j
B. J. Boyd and Bessie Boyd, from
Tokotna, arrived last night from the
I
Interior. They are guests at the
Seward hotel.

LEGISLATIVE GRIST
Coming back to the Comptroller
measure and the argument that friends
of Delegate Sutherland would vote for
it because he favors Lt, Mr Lomen
said he had voted for Judge Wicker
sham and Mr. Sutherland every time
he had been been handed a ballot
with their names on it. “But,” he add
ed, “because I vote for a man, that is
no reason that I shall let him tell me
how I am to vote.” In concluding,
paraphrasing he said he would like
to urge the members not “to vote as
quarry slaves driven to their dun
geons.”
In a briet statement, Mr. Sheldon
declared that the bill was of ques
tidnable parentage and jof dubious
purport. He called attention to the
fact that in their haste to adopt the
bill, its proponents had tabled a meas
ure introduced by himself without giv
ing it a perusal.
“If I were gifted with prophetic
vision, and could know I would run
for membership in this House again
two years from now, and that by so
doing I would bring defeat upon my
selt, still I would do as I am now,
about to do, vote againsJL this bill.”
declared Mr. Murray.
Speaker Smiih took the floor for
i few minutes and defended the bill
jriefly. The procedure of adminis
ration it would set up, he affrmed,
fvas not new. It would bring together
:he Federal and Territorial govern
ments, and could do no harm but
might do considerable good. The
charge that it was “radical,” he ac
knowledged, didn't frighten him a lit
tle bit. He contended that practical
ly every bit of useful legislation now
on the statute books was proposed by

ALL PROTESTANTS WILL NOT BE
EXTERMINATED — SOME SEN
ATORS TO REMAIN
CLEVELAND, O. April 27. (£>)—
Governor A1 Smith explains that if he
is elected President all protestants
would not be exterminated, that even
a few of the present Senators would
be retained, including Tom Heflin;
that the Knights of Columbus would
not replace the Boy Scouts, and early
morning mass would not replace golf
on Sunday, that those who were for
tunate enough to have meat could eat
it on Friday. It’s no compliment to a
nation’s intelligence when these things
have to be explained per the old
Burgomaster of Beverly, Will Rogers.

JAPANESE RESIDENT IBIi
LAUGH AFTER 35 YEARS
TOKIO, April 28, (£>)—After 35
}rears without a smile, a giggle or a
learty laugh, Tuji Takaki, a Japan
ese resident of Nagano, is now one
of the heartiest laughers of the coun
tryside. When Takaki was 9 years
old he fell from a persimmon tree
and landed on his jaw. Thereafter
he could not open his mouth. Food
in liquid form was given him through
a hole in his teeth. A severe tooth
ache led to an operation and its ex
traction at a Red Cross hospital.
Takaki opened his mouth and emitt
ed roars of laughter, removal of the
tooth having restored the function
ing of his jaw.
