Tf I did not have the memory of a long boat trip behind me, I should not believe I had left Seattle,” he said in the lobby of the Zynda Ho- tel. “Except that it is too hilly for me to get around very easily, I should like to live here.” Frey has not always been blind nor has he always been a singer. His early life was the normal and uneventful one of any aspiring young man. Born in Sweden, he came with his parents to America at the age of 10, and attended the public schools in Boston. He became a dra an and a designer. “I worked too hard with my eyes,” he said. . “When I lost my sight, I had to find another outlet. I took to singing then.” Frey has been studying voice for Tive years, three of them spent as a pupil of Mrs. C. B. Sterling of Ari- zona. i “She built my voice from being very throaty and tight into its pres- ent richness,” he said. At present, he is a student of the famous August Werner, music mas- ter at the University of Washington in Seattle. Mr. Frey will offer a recital, which will include some Scandinavian songs at the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, under the auspices of Rev. John A. Glasse on Tuesday evening of next week. Willis E. Nowell, well-known Ju- neau violinist, will appear on the program in several groups, offering violin accompaniments and solos. “He has an excellent voice, and uses it like an artist,” Mr. Nowell commented today. “I shall enjoy appearing on the same program.” The singer will be accompanied at| the piano by Mrs. Trevor Davis. Leaving here Wednesday on the Yukon, Prey will offer similar con- sorts in Ketchikan and Seattle be- fore returning to his campus acti- vities, ~ SCORING MAN ELKS BOWLING Fred Barragar of the Cougars placed first in both the individual | scoring—229—and in the 3-game to- tals—568—in the Pacific Coast Con- ference bowling at the Elks alleys last night.

Asks Co-operation “Furthermore, I shall expect from you gentlemen who are attorneys in these cases, as attorneys and offi- cers of this court, the fullest co-op- | eration in this matter. You, as law- | yers, must know and do know th:u} all willful attempts of whatever na- | ture, seeking to intimidate or im- properly influence jurors in the im- partial discharge of their duties is a contempt of court, whether it be by conversation or in any of the ways | indicated, or by whatever means such acts are made; and this rule applies to all jurors on the panel, aven though they have not yet been sworn to try the case with reference to which it is sought to influence them, as well as to those actually sworn and serving as the trial jury. “So, also, any attempt to intimi- date, influence, secrete or interfere in any way with any witnesses in any case or anyone likely to become a witness, is a contempt of court, which may be dealt with summarily by the court. Likewise any miscon- duct in the presence of the court, which shows disrespect of its au- thority or would obstruct, or has a tendency to obstruct or interfere with, the due administration of jus- ize, is contempt. Thus any disor- derly conduct in the court room, or the use of threatening or insulting language toward any officer of the |court, or any witness, or juror, or opposing counsel, or any conduct calculated to interfere with the due administration of justice is a con- tempt. So also is it contempt to issue, print or circulate any publi- cation calculated to prejudice or pre- ‘ vent a fair and impartial trial in any case pending before the Court; and | any publication which seeks to in- | fluence judicial action by threats | or other form of intimidation or! which reflects on the court or coun- | “sel or parties or witnesses respecting the cause, or which tends to corrupt or embarrass or improperly influ-| ence the due administration of jus- | tice, comes within this category. Adherence to Law ‘I am mentioning these facts to| you gentlemen, as attorneys for all | the interested parties, in order that ' DOUGLAS Beavers vs, Webfotters, 9:30 p. m. jans vs. Cougars, 8:30 p. m.; and| you may be advised and may advise your clients and all those interested, in advance, that a strict adherence to the law in this respect will be expected from everyone. “I especially caution you that no congregating about this building or its vicinity, or in the halls or corri- dors of this building, or any making of remarks to witnesses or jurors or to or about anyone engaged in this trial, calculated to intimidate, em- barrass or improperly influence the conduct of this trial or to in any manner obstruct or embarrass the due administration of justice Wil be permitted, and if attempted will be dealt with summarily by the Court as a contempt. “I mention these matters now be- cause of the reports that have come to me that I mentioned in the be- | ginning, and in order that a trial may be had in these cases free from every extraneous influence and that such a fair and impartial trial may be had from every standpoint as the law of our country contemplates and guarantees to every person.
