He did not spend his time dallying through art gal- leries or trying to pick up bargains at auction sales. ¢ ‘When he saw something he liked ke bought it. The ever ready check book spoke for him. His Stockholm and Paris apart- ments were therefore art gallerics on a small scale and singularly de- void of the flashy and ornate. His Ccollection of paintings has many originals, including a group by Anders Zorn, famous Swedish artist, and others by (Courbet, Cuyp, Timoretto, and Jan van Huysum. Some of the paintings cost Kreiger as much as 100~ 000 crowns (about $25,000.)

Morgan Sentiment for the Democratic National ticket continues to - pre- dominate on the Pacific Coast and seems stronger now than six weeks ago, according to Harry F. Mor- ton, prominent Anchorage attor- ney, who visited local friends here today. He is enroute home after several weeks spent in San Fran- cisco on-legal business. ‘Washington and Oregon are re- garded as certain for Gov. Roose- velt, with good chances for Con- gressional and State ticKets win- ning, and California seems likely to give Mr. Roosevelt a majority and elect William Gibbs McAdoo to the Senate, Mr. Morton said. As the campaign has progressed the strength of the Democratic ticket has become more and more apparent. A strenuous campaign for the Democratic ticket in Alaska will be waged in the Third Division and the majority for Senator Di- mond and other candidates will Le impressive, according to Mr. Mor- ton. He has kept in touch with the situafion during his absence and will take an active part in the campaign during the closing weeks. Mr. Morton was accompanied north by Frank L.

The French reply was made pub-{ lic by the Government. While refusing the German pro- posal, France expressed conviction it is possible to “work with Ger- many in seeking a new arrange+| ment, not for the return to the old procedure of preparation for war but to progress in an organi- zation for peace.” The French doctrine set forth “that efforts must be directed not toward rearmament in particular countries but toward gemeral dis- -armament and supervision of arm¥ aments.” ¥ GERMAN REPLY BERLIN, Sept. 13.—In a radio speech, Chancellor von Papen said that during the next few days the Cabinet will decide “what we intend to do in further treatment of this vital question,” in referring to France's reply to Germany’s re- quest for equality in armaments. CABINET SITS TIGHT BERLIN, Sept 13.—Chancellor von Papen and the German sat tight today, backed by the Army and police, though the Reichstag overwhelmingly voted nonconfid- ence yesterday. While the Chancellor's act of dissolving Parliament, announcing Democracy of Germany had brok- en down, the Chancellor gave indi- cations that he intended to hold power under the slogan “With von Hindenburg for Germany.” The Chancellor’s plan proceeded for taking to the Supreme Court the issue of the legality of the Chancellor’s decree for dissolution which opponents contended was presented out of order as a vote of confidence or nonconfidence was being taken. — o —— GANDHI MAKES THREAT; IS T0 DIE AS MARTYR Will Starve to Death Rath- er than Submit to New System LONDON, Sept. 13. — Mahatma Gandhi is determined to starve himself to death rather than ac- cept the electorial representation system worked out for India by the British Cabinet. .
