KIDNAPING TIME TACOMA, Wash., May 27.— The police Saturday night definitely could find innumerable hideouts if they wished, among the wooded and little populated islands of Puget Sound, in the wilderness of the Olympic Peninsula or even across | the Canadian line. A fast motorboat could take them within a short time among the winding and twisting passages be- tween the sound islands or to the shores of the Olympic Peninsula, the shoreline of which is devoid of population for long stretches. Only summer homes dot many of the islands. LABOR TROUBLE BLAMED ST. PAUL, Minn., May 27—Rela- tives . *he kidnaped youth express- ed the opinion labor trouble in the lumber industry might be behind the crime. “The situation is loaded with dynamite,” said an uncle of the boy. “With this strike on we don't even want to think about the possibili- ties. It is terrible.” Executives of the big lumber con- placed the kidnaping in front of the Annie Wright seminary about 12:05 o'clock Friday afternoon, bas- cern voiced the same opinion. ——————— SHOP IN JUNEAU! DEAN BOLTON ~ NOTTO TALK AT EXERGISES; Washmgton Lducalor Un- able to Speak Before ' | Commencement Dr. Fredericx E. Bolton, Dean Emeritus of the Colleze of Educa- tion at the University of stmng- ton, will not make the commence- ment address at the graduation ex- ercises of Juneau High School Wednesday night. This ‘was learned today from A. B. Phillips, superintendent of Ju- neau schools, after he had held a| brief conference with Dean Bolwn,’ a southbound passenger for Se- attle on the Yukon. The noted edu- cator had promised to deliver the address here if he could make ar- rangements to board the Northwest- | ern at Ketchikan the next day. However, this was found to be not practicable, as the Northwestern will leave the First City before Thursday. Dean ‘Bolton's leave of ibsence from the University expires | June 1, He made the commence- ment address at’ the University of | Alaska at Fairbanks last week. Superintendent Phillips said he had no announcement to make to- day as to who. would be the fea- tured speaker on Wednesday's pro- gram. Meanwhile,High School seniors gathered with parents and friends at the High School gymnasium last night to observe Baccalaureate Sun- day. Impressive services, with Ju-| neau clergymen and the school or- chestra and chorus on the program, were held. The Rev. John A. Glasse, of the Northern Light Presbyterian church gave the Baccaiaureate sermon. His| sermon, “In the School of Life,”| stressed a comparison between | training in school and traimngi which was to come to the students | in future years. He compared che‘ degrees won in life and in the high school and told of the teachers in life, “the experiences of others and your own mistakes.” e nAlLY lMl’llih WANT ADS PAY!/ TERMINAL CAFE Extends a Hearty WELCOME To Officers and Enlisted Men of Coast Guard Cutters CYANE [ Finest Hardwood Floor -HAIDA—-TALLAPOOSA HELD @ Complete Dine-Dance Service @ Best Dance Music The Termina On Juneau's Busiest Corner COAST BUARD VESSELS IN PORT TODAY Cutters Haida and Cyane Arrive from Stations for Short Stay, (Continued irom Pageé One.) . = cutters to Juneau is for a meet- ing: of a 'medical an.rd to physical examinations “to" otH due for promition in rank.
