While stormy weather and a fraternal organization meet-| ing conflicted with the rally there! and cut the attendance, the meet- ing was characterized by much en- thusiasm, and generous applause greeted the speakers as they made their points. Well informed and prominent Douglas residents, following last night's meeting, predicted victory there for the entire tieket. Home Rule, as expounded in detail by Mr. Grigsby, was acclaimed as the vital issue before = Alaskans, em- bracing most of the other questions involved in both local and Terri- torial elections. The assertion made by Mr. Grigsby that “This is a Democratic year,” reflected by the audience which applauded the statement without reserve. Boyle Speaks for Ticket Judge Boyle, who is as well known in Douglas as in Juneau, his home town, was the first speak- er to be introduced hy Mayor Kil- burn.

IN KLONDIKE RUSH Clarence Borry was in the Forty- mile country, in the Yukon valley, when the Klondike strike was made by George Carmack in August 1896. Berry was employed in a hotel at! Fortymile by Bill McPhee, and im- mediately after the Klondike find was made joined the first stam-| peders from the old Fortymile camp, and was successful in ac- quiring some of the richest ground ever staked on lower Eldorado. { He and his brother Frank were associated there with several other | early Klondike kings, among them; Antone Stander, and as a result| of his early operations on Eldorado, he " cleaned up between one and {two million dollars. He concluded his operations in the Klondike | within four or five years, and after that shifted his mining enterprises ito the Alaska goldfields; holding some of the richest properties in the Fairbanks camp. He also owned and operated a dredge in the Circle district, and had hydraulic opera- tions in the same field. His home has been in San Francisco for !years, and he has been heavily |identified with oil operations in that state. It is generally re- ported among old Klondikers that (he multiplied his fortune in his ‘oil ventures until he amassed a for- tune of some ten to fifteen mil- lions, and thus became the wealth- jest of all the argonauts who laid foundations of their wealth in the Yukon and Alaskan goldfields. Although Mr. Berry made his home in California for the last 25 or 30 years, he always retained a strong attachment for the North jand continued to hold substantial |interests in Alaska. He was one lof the few early Klondikers and | Alaskans who, after having won a |fortune in the Northland was not tonly able to retain it, but was also able to greatly augument it. Clarence Berry and his family {and his brother Frank have lived iin San Francisco for years, and have made their headquarters there at the St. Francis Hotel, in which it is understood Clarence was at one time a heavy shareholder. The supreme court, headed by Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes, called on President Hoovor at the White Ho! practice of the high tribunal to pay its respects to the President of the day it begins its new term.

A Military Junta, compos- ed of Tasso Fragoj, General Menna Barreto and others }has taken possession of the Brazilian Government follow- ing the resignation of Luis. The coup which overthrew ‘the Luis Government was not expected for at least another week with the possibility that the President might be given ia chance to finish his term |which expires on November 115. ! Shortly before mdnight last night, military police and some troops rushed to the Guanabara Palace, the Presi- dential residence and divert- ed all traffic to Copa Cabana and other suburbs as the starter to the last moves iwhich forced the President |to resign and the Military Junta took possession of the |Government. Shortly before the news of the resignation of President Luis reach- ed Pernambuco, the military school there joined the insurgents. Reports recelved said the navy along the entire coast turned against the Government. News of the resignation of the President started a huge holiday here, banks and shops closing. President Luis assumed office on November 15, 1926 and was to have served until next month when gates in other countries will not participate in such cere- monies at Rest Rumors he was to be succeded by Presi= dent-elect Julio Prestes who res cently visited the United States.

The “harmony” rally, he said, was a “dismal failure.” The hall was only partly fill- ed and there was no en- thusiasm. “Things look better here every day, and we hear fine reports regarding your can- didacy from the North,” said Mr. Walker’s message.

Although running on a profit, Warden S. L. Todhunter has found need for only a minimum of guards. In the entire system, which em- braces the “walls” or penitentiary proper at Little Rock, and two state prison farms, the paid per- sonnel totals only 18. Of this num- ber, none is a paid guard.
