Shuler SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, A habeas corpus writ has issued in the contempt case against Robert Shuler, Los Angeles minis- ter, and he has been remanded to the custody of the sheriff. Justice Willlam Waste said the decision means the Rev. Shuler must pay all fines, totaling $100, in connection with the sentence, and by so doing he escapes serving - |an additional five days of his 20- day term. In holding the Rev. Shuler guilty of contempt, the State Supreme Court decided the constitutions. guarantee of free speech does not protect a citizen when he com- ments on pending current cases in an attempt of “interference of or- derly administration of Justice.” The decision upheld the convic~ tion and punishment of Shuler for criticizing Superior Judge Marshall McComb of Los Angeles and his conduct of the trial of Jacob Ber- man and Dan Getzoff.

T. Gar ner today urged the Juneau Cham- ber of Commerce to take some posi- tive action at the October .18 con- vention of cannerymen at Belling- ham, Wash.,, in an effort to keep the business in the Territory. Unless the canners are induced to break away from the present trend toward using paper boxes, lumber industry of the Pan- handle will be ruined within a few years, Mr. Gardner asserted. hundred persons, he are dependent on the lumber s. The capacity of the ast Alaska mills is 2,500,000 s a year. This year 1,100,000 cases were cut, while the estimated output for next season is 500,000 cases. In three years time there Seventeen said, will be no boxes manufactured if| the present trend is allowed to con- tinus, acording to Mr. Gardner. As an example of the ruinous re- sults of the importation of paper boxes, Mr. Gardner told the Cham- ber that of the three leading mills in Southeast Alaska, only one, the |Juneau Lumber Mills, operated the full season. The Ketchikan con- n averaged about five days a during the season, while Wrangell's industry had an even quieter season Honor E. J.

F. F. Randolph and J. L. Bulkley, of New York City, laughingly claim- ed the distinction of being the first big-game hunters to come to Alas- ka who failed to get their limits. They saw a few moose in the Ke- nai country, flew to Glacier Lake for goat without getting any, and (Cénltnu’ed on Page Two) the | SHIBE PARK, PHILADELPHIA, |Pa, Oct. 2—The Athletics today {advanced another big step toward a second successive worlds cham- |pionship when they steam-rollered the St. Louis Cardinals with an- jother heavy hitting attack, knock- lng Flint Rhem out of the box and |winning the second straight game, the score being 6 to 1. George Earnshaw, Connie Mack’s star right-hander, held the Cards to six hits, only two being for extra bases, and struck out eight men, walking but one. The big pitcher, who has had trouble with his con- trol all season, worked in im- pressive style and was never in straits. The Cards lone score came {from a homer by Watkins. Triemph Is Convincing The victory today of the Mack- men was convincing. Before a crowd of 32,395 fans, the same can- nonading crew that blasted Grimes yesterday Cochrane, Simmons, Foxx and- Dykes, reinforced by |Bing Miller, this afternoon brought |about the downfall of Flint Rhem |in less than four innings. The A's |wrecking crew boarded him in the |first frame for three hits, including {a home run and a two-bagger, scoring two runs which proved to be enough to win without the other four which were scored be- {fore Rhem was yanked in the fourth. Except for the second inning, |the Redbirds were unable to solve |Earnshaw's delivery. In that in- ning, Watkins clouted the ball over the rightfield wall for their only score. The blow came with one down. Mancusco and Gelbert fol- \lowed him with singles but died on bases when Earnshaw fanned {Rhem and forced Douthit to pop |up weakly to second base. After that the Cards had little chance |to score. Frisch got to third in the third inning on Boley’s error, a stolen base and Cochrane’s wild heave to ’cenlernrld. After that the Cards {had but three men on the paths, iLmdsey singling in the fourth, Mancusco walking in the seventh, and Adams singling in the eighth, The Wrecking Crew Works After Bishop flied out to center and Dykes was thrown out at first by Adams, Cochrane got hold of one of Rhem’s shoots and blasted it over the rightfield wall for a |home - run. Simmons singled to |right center and Foxx's smashing double to left scored him stand- {ing up. Foxx died at second when |Bottomley took Miller's grounder and stepped on first. Frisch's error in the third paved the way for Rhem’s downfall. The {Card pitcher got“by the second without trouble, and the first two |batters in the third—Bishop and |Dykes were easy outs. Cochrane |shot a hot grounder at Frisch and the Card second sacker fumbled |long enough for Mickey to get to Ifirst safely. Simmons smashed out 1a two-bagger to right, scoring Cochrane. Foxx worked Rhem for {a pass. Bing Miller came through with a single to left and Simmons scored. Haas fled to Douthit for the third out. Rhem Is Benched Rhem was derricked in the fourth after one man was retired and runners were on. Boley led (Continued on Pqflr Eight)
