(From the Alaska press)
A chapter of the Business and
Professional Women's Federated
Club has been organized at An
chorage.
In the presence of the members
of the Juneau Bar Association,
Court and other Federal and Ter
ritorial officials, George F. Alex
ander, for many years a prominent
attorney of Portland, Ore., and ac
tive in Democratic political affairs
in that State for a long time, was
inducted in office at Juneau re
cently as United States Disrtict
Judge of the First Division, suc
ceeding Judge Justin W. Harding
who has occupied that office for
the past four and one-half years.
The oath of office was administ
ered by Judge H. B. LeFevre. pre
sident of the Juneau Bar Associa
tion. former United States Com
missioner at Juneau, and pioneer
lawyer of that city. As soon as he
had affixed his signature to the
oath and other documents of office,
the new jurist went to work.

In the first hunting deer sea
son fatality, this year. John Alden
Key. of Juneau, was accidently shot
oy a winchester 405 caliber rifle
.n the hands of Burr Johnson, also
of Juneau, recently. The tragedy
occurred on Douglas Island.
The party was composed of Key,
Mrs. Key. Burr Johnson and Bert
McDowell.
According to a member of the
party they had stopped for a rest
about 15 minutes before the ac
cident occurred, and the members
of the party spoke of the possibil
ity of an accident. Johnson laid
stress on everyone making sure
that they could see the horns be
fore they shot. "Make sure its a
deer, anyhow,” added Key.
When the party had gone about
two miles, the hunters entered a
small meadow. Johnson was in the
lead, followed by McDowell, Key
and Mrs. Key in single file. It was
HEARING TONIGHT
The public hearing on necessary
improvements and changes to the
local breakwater will be held this
evening at 7:30 in the City fire hall.
Lieut. John R. Noyes, of the Seat
tle Army engineer’s office, will be
present at the meeting to hear ex
pressions from local interested
persons. Everyone is requested to
come to the hearing.
quite foggy at the time. According
to Mr. McDowell, he looked back
about half-way across the meadow
and noticed that Key and his wife
had branched off a little and were
going toward the edge of the brush
a bit to the right of the course
followed by Johnson and McDowell.
As they were only 15 feet or so to
the side, McDowell did not think it
worth speaking about and took it
for granted that Johnson had no
ticed it also.
When they entered the brush the
two pairs were about 35 feet from
each other. They had penetrated
the thick undergrowth only 40 or
50 feet, when McDowell, about six
feet behind Johnson, saw the lat
ter whirl, whip his gun to his
shoulder and fire before he could
warn him. The red pants and red
blazer worn by Key were not vis
ible through the tangled brush. Mrs.
Key, who was about six feet be
hind her husband tried to catch
him as he fell, wounded by the
shot. As soon as the accident oc
curred Johnson went for help. The
injured man was brought to Jun
eau where he died a few hours lat
er.
Dr. Charles E. Farr, professor of
surgery at the Cornell University
Medical School in New York City,
and clinical director in Surgery at
the $30,000,000 St. Mary’s Hospital
for children in the same city, who
recently visited in Juneau, believes
that the Alaska Territorial Mus
eum should be expanded. Also, that
outside expeditions should be per
mitted to take out of the Territory
relics of the old Indians which are
found, is wrong according to his be
lief. Dr. Farr favors a plan of per
mitting these expeditions to take
only a part of their finds elsewhere
and keeping a lion’s share in Al
aska.
Alvin Polet. a graduate of the
Alaska College, and Miss Louise
Meals, senior in home economics at
the College, were married in Valdez
on August 12, and left for the
States on their honeymoon trip. Mr.
Polet is the son of a prominent
Nome merchant. They will return
to Nome in the Fall and make their
residence there.
The Fairbanks beacon light, to
be used in the guidance of avia
tors, who wish to land there after
dark, was recently turned on for
the first time. The strength of the
beacon is 2,000,00 candle-power.

Wje are glad to be able to present to Seward people
the famous story that has so many years enter
tained millions of people in book, play and opera.
“Madame Butterfly”
A great 10-reel special feature of the play rather
• than the opera. However, the musical back
ground is taken from the opera and is well
worth hearing.
The star is no other than
Sylvia Sidney
