To the Ambassadors of Good Will from Seattle visiting in Juneau today, The Empire adds its welcome to that extended by the Chamber of Com- merce and residents of Juneau generally, While primarily representing the Seattle Chamber - of Commerce, they, of course, bring to us the greetings and offers of assistance from that city which is Alaska's nearest American neighbor, and the one with which Alaskans have the closest business and social relations. * Perhaps it is trite to say that such visitations ‘ are the surest means of cultivating friendship and promoting harmonious and profitable business rela- tionships. The triteness, however, does not take away from its truth. Alaskans are the most friendly people anywhere. And they like to trade as well as visit with their friends. They enjoy their contacts with them. It is regrettable that such tours as that sponsored by the Seattle Chamber of Com- merce to Alaska, and now in this city, are not more frequent. It would increase the contacts be- tween Alaska and Seattle, strengthen the already strong bonds of friendship and trade, eliminate misunderstandings and chances for them, and bring about a better understanding on the part of both. The welcome we extend to these Ambassadors; of Good Will is that of friends to friends. It pleases us to be their hosts. Our one regret is that they do not stay longer. And as we speed them in parting, it is with the wish that they may return again and soon for another visitation. . ; ALASKA—ONE OF SEATTLE’S BEST CUSTOMERS. The part that Alaska plays in Seattle's water- borne commerce, which constitutes one of that great city’'s most important sources of business revenue, is strikingly set forth in the latest annual report of the Port Warden of the Puget Sound metropolis. The aggregate value of its incoming and outgoing ship- ments for 1932 is fixed in it as $46,762,078. The total value of all maritime commerce for the city was $308,513,814. In other words, Alaska’s com- merce entering and leaving the Port of Seattle last year constituted more than 15 per cent of all the commerce of the port. It was second on the list of domestic importers and was ahead of any foreign shipper into the port. Its shipments to the port were valued at about two-thirds of all the foreign shipments it received. Its exports from Seattle ranked fourth in domestic commerce and exceeded in value Seattle’s exports to all foreign countries combined. A study of the comparative figures ought to be enlightening. As listed by the Port Warden they were: .

They exceeded those from the entire Atlantic Seaboard. They were worth more than all of the shipments received from other Wash- ington points by water. And they several times exceeded incoming shipments from dll other sections of the United States, including Territories and possessions. the list, were but little less than those from the Atlantic Seaboard, all Washington State ports and California. They were more than the combined exports to all other parts of the country. The comparative place of shipments Alaska to Seattle with foreign countries is significant. Al- aska's total, $20,190,108, exceeded those of any foreign country, including both Japan and China. The total foreign imports was valued at $48- 232,084, or about 40 per cent more than Alaska’s. Even more striking is the comparison of Seattle’s years prior to that. —{interests to exert every ounce .of influence for’ Alaska Exports to Alaska from Seattle, while fourth on| There is one way in which Alaska’s population can be built. up.

William Muldoon, an American legend, whose great fame had been wasting away for many months, died yesterday morning up in the Westchester Hills at the “hygenic institute,” as he called it, where he had brought many shambling wrecks of men back to something resembling health and sanity. Almost to the last he had the face of an Irish king and the magnificent body which had been his pride, his fortune and the envy of lesser men. In his long life (he was eighty-eight on May 25) he performed almost incredible deeds, and the tales about him could be spun on forever. Con- sider that it was during the Civil War that he hit upon the idea of the shower bath, that he saw Phil Sheridan ride his black horse Rienzi, consider that he took the bloated John L.

The police, he said, were very busy, and things didn’t look any too bright for me. “There's one thing that may help you, however,” he sald. “And that’s the gun. They are tracing it, and, while it's rather slow work, still it may prove to have had no connec- tlon with you.” “May prove!” I sald hotly. - “I never saw that gun before. Which reminds me, I haven't any gun with me, and I need one.” “Need one?” murmured Lorn, looking morosely at me. “Ot course I need one,” I said im- patiently. “But I don’t plan to shoot anybody with it, so you needn’t look like that. Surely you've got more than one and can loan me one.” He finally admitted that he’d got two small automatics, and if I would do nothing rash with it he might be persuaded to lend me one. I was grimly amused at_his using the word rash, which seemed alto- gether too mild in connection with the violence which occasioned it. “Have the police traced the poi- son yet?” I asked. “Not that I know of,” said Lorn. “They've sent to the Paris labora- tories, I did discover, however, that no car had been found. “I had Miss Tally show me as nearly as she could the spot where she left her abductor's car, and it's quite close to the hotel, and a strange car has not been found.

To hear that he is dead is like getting the news of thc passing of Thor. In recent years Mr. Muldoon has been known to the public chiefly because of his membership on the State Athletic Commission. He and the other | members at various times were criticized for their rulings, but the very nature of their tasks, the regulation of the once-fugitive sports of boxing and wrestling, made it impossible for them to please every one. Certainly ‘“the solid Muldoon” always had a fine contempt for the vermin in human form who since time immemorial have been asso- clated with the fringes of professional sport. Muldoon was dictatorial, cantankerous, hot-temp- ered, stubborn. He followed the advice which his own mother gavé him, and never married. He was tolerant enough of cigars and lignor in moderation. Indeed, he used them himself; but he had an almost savage scorn for the man who overindulged, the man who became flabby and soft and the victim of bad habits. Good physical condition was almost a religion with him. In particular he hated cigar- ettes. He was a Spartan all his life. And yet, to those who knew him, he often re- vealed an almost sentimental side. He was proud that he had risen, from a sorrel-topped bruiser who fought or wreslted for $3 a night in the liquor dens, to the estate of a country gentlemen. It pleased him enormously when Governor Miller ap- pointed him to the State Athletic Commission. He performed many small acts of charity about which the public knew little. He liked on clear spring days to go to the roof of his rambling old house at Purchase and look across the Sound toward the home of Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. He liked to recall his friendship with the great and strenuous Teddy, whom' he admired enormously, just as he later geveloped a tremendous admiration for the courage of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Few persons knew that one of his favorite char- acters, for all that his pattern of life was almost exactly the opposite of Muldoon’s, was the wild and unfortunate fighter Norman Selby—“Kid” MecCoy. He actually loved the “Kid.” He had the respect and affection of his neighbors, which he returned in kind. Solid and incorruptible, he will become a part of American folklore. He belongs there. But there's no wdy we can make sure.” “Either that or the abductor went | back to his car and drove away, and the murdered man was not her ab- ductor—and thus, then, his death was not necessarily connected in any way with Miss Tally.” “Possibly,” said Lorn. 1 wished momentarily I could get out of my head Mrs. Byng's unex- pected story of the lights going out and Sue and said: “The man in the courtyard may, have been the priest?” “Ah—" sald Lorn. He was look: ing at the biank white paving at his, “What's your opinion of his tak- ing the trouble to arrange a false alibi?” 1 asked. “Well,” said Lorn cautiously, “it's not an argument for his innocence.” “He says he wished to keep en- tirely clear of the whole affair; it seems he dreaded any connection with it on account of his position. A mere matter of discretion, accord- ing to him.” “Oh,” sald Lorn, giving me a quick look. “So you taxed him with it.

I know her brother, and it will be a diffi- cult thing to prove her to him if she deviates from his definite instruc- tions—he's that kind of fellow. “But at the same time I've come to the conclusion that I was wrong; I was seeing only my side of it— you understand, Sundean, that in a: sense I'm her brother’s representa- tive.

It was growing colder In tho court. With the early approach of night, the wind bhad begun to grow stronger and more vicious in its sudden gusts. To this day a sud- den cold whipping of the wind will snatch my memory back in an in- stant to those mad days at Armene. Another gust of wind blew dust in my face and whipped the cape ot a policeman out beyond the wall as if to warn me of his watching presence, and I rose and entered the hotel. Lovschiem was at the desk strok- ing the cockatoo with one hand and adding accounts with the other. The lounge was bare and empty and cold—somehow, we all man- aged to eschew the lounge that day. The tiny elevator stood dark and empty, with its doors open behind the little iron gate as if to show that now no one was hiding there. There were voices in the parlor, however, and I swerved to glance through the, door. Mrs. Byng, her eyebrows traveling agitatedly, was there, knitting furiously; Grethe's predatory red head was bent over some lace she was making, and she looked unwontedly quiet. Sue was reading something aloud, in a clear and quite steady volce. I could not fathom the look In! Grethe's green eyes; | was not par- ticularly taken with Mrs. Byng, al- though I felt a little sorry for her. But at that moment I heartily ad- mired them all. It took courage to sit quietly there in the musty par- lor so near the lounge where Mar- cel had died, with the gloom and ilence and secrecy of the old hotel enclosing them. Father Robart was sitting near “JT could only place me in dan- ger,” 1 said. “And that, in the last three days, has been nothing unusual. Besides,” 1 added mali- ciously, “I shall have your revolver.” “Not,” said Lorn, suddenly firm, “it you're going to use it. Besides, 1t's only two days and three nigh This is the third day.” “You think that if we push tN matter about the priest too far bgy fore we can actually prove he is the murderer—" - “It he is the murderer—" inter- Easy on Pure Science. (New York Times.) Dr. Simon Flexner evidently does not believe that ours is a materialistic age in everything. We do not lay gross hands on the snow-white robes of star-eyed science. The director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research told a luncheon audience the other day that research scientists in the past were required to show immediate re- sults. As a result, the progress of science was slow. Today we let the scientist play around with any- thing that interests him, and very often we get the most impressively useful results. This Is not what we are always told about sclentific inquiry, but it does agree with what we {used to read in the schoolbooks about science in the past, Geometry began in Egypt as field surveying. Astronomy used to be largely astrology. Chemistry began. as alchemy: people were looking for the lellxl.r of life and the philosopher's stone which turn- jed lead into gold. Once upon a time Dr. Alexis Carrel would not have been allowed to keep a chicken's heart beating in a laboratory jar for twenty-one years. Long before that time he would have been sacked by his royal patron and burned at the stake as a sorcerer.
