“on January 11th.. McLean was a self-confessed liar. He said he lent
Fall $100,000 and he lied about it: yet on January 12 a message went to
McLean from the White House. It is 1; id enough when employees at the
White House send messages to McLean, but The President himself, sent
messages to McLean, and McLean with all his guilt being heaped upon
him. seeks advice from the President.”

ATTKXI>KI> BY I..UUiK CROWD
The A. B. Masque Ball which was
Riven In the A. B. Hall last Saturday
evening was pronounced by all at
tendiiiR as one of the most gorgeous
affairs that Nome has witnessed in
many years. The costumes were of
such design and texture that one
would have to travel the world over
to see an assembly that would excel!
those worn by the maskers that
evening. The spirit which was shown
by the public in arranging the diff
erent designs of dress speaks well of
the spirit of Nome's people who be
lieve in doing things right when at
tempted. and not in a half-hearted
way as is unfortunately done in some
communities of even largger popula
tion than we have.
The Nome ladies are certainly en
titled to all the praise a community
can bestow, for the many beautiful
and unique costumes worn by the
fair sex at this gala affair.
To attempt to describe in detail the
many costumes worthy of mention
would mean that the Publisher of
this worthy paper would have to en
large his publication for that one
item alone, but there were costumes
>o much out of the ordinary and of |
such original design that to refrain j
from making mention of them !
would be to court disaster as a gatb- j
i*rer of nows for such an enlightened
list of readers of which we are proud !
The Shenandoah, under command :
of "Admiral” E. K. Johansen, roll-!
ed l we would like to say floated) se- j
renely aorund the spacious floor of i
the hall, and to say that the design j
of this mi nature representation <»f !
the giant dirigible at Lakehurst. X. 1

flight to the North Pole, was appro- ;
priate and fitting to the occasion ]
would leave too much altogether to j
the Imagination of the reader who ,
was not fortunate enough to be at
the Masque Ball. The design was ,
in detail perfect, from the tiny pro
pellor at the stern, to the tapering
nose. Mechanics of no mean ability ,
had a hand in designing this unique,
dirigible. This may sound someth
ing like a page from an aeronautical
magazine, but we make no apologies
The little Shenandoah built in Nome
and her worthy designers are en

Former Secretary of the Interior
A. B. Fall was represented by one
of Nome's capable maskers in a very
appropriate dress of white, bespat
tered with oil from the celebrated
Teapot, which rested on tup of the
maskers “dome.” and on the handle
of the Teatpot was attached the name
of the sold dust twins in the oil scan
dal -Sinclair and Doheny, and ac
ross the back of the costumer was
written in a bold, black scrawl “Aye
Be Fall Guy.” Another representa
tion of this alleged gigantic govern
ment oil swindle was present in the
form of a gian't Teapot worn over the
head of the masker and reaching al
most to the knees, and of a brilliant
| green color. A spectator suggested
that the green represented a certain
disciple of Blackstone who has an
I Irish name, and who is said to be
| mixed up in the scandal. If such
| was the intention of the masker,
j his idea was certainly original,
i To relate incidents of this brilliant
affair and tell all about the many
costumes would cover many pages,
and because there is not mentioned
other costumes in this article, which
were worthy of mention, does not
signify that we are not appreciative
of their value as costumes in origin
ality andidesign, but as the costumes
mentioned were significant of mat
ters familiar to practically everyone
at this time, they were mentioned
for that reason as well as for their
being some of the outstanding cos
tumes of the evening.
'Hie Ha” decorated in a man
ner most appropriate, the A. B. Clut
olors being used extensively for the
color scheme, and everyone attend
ing proclaimed the decorations to b<
of the best ever displayed in Nome.
High class music was furnished th<
dancers, and refreshments were U
be had throughout the evening. Th*
