Feb. 10. — At the age of six, black-haired Ad- | { ‘Indian boy from Central America, has escaped burial alive and being soid into slavery. A waif of undetermined parent- age condemned to die by tribal cus- tom, he was adopted by Mrs. A. Iglesias, an American missionary who had married an Indian. She sent him to Brooklyn 'for safe-keeping until he was. five. When he returned, however, the tribal ‘leaders had not forgotten him and they asked that his life be for- |feit. Mrs. Iglesias appealed for aid, and Dr. B. D. Waeks, president, of Bacone Indian school here . offered a haven for the lad. As Mrs. In- glesias prepared to send the boy to this country, he was kidnaped by Indians. Three months later he was rescued as he was about to be sold into slavery. With his foster brother, Claudio Iglesias, the boy was sent to New York. Immigration laws did not provide for admittance of Indians, but Oklahoma legislators in Wash- ington . persuaded immigration au- thorities to grant the boys’ en- trance.

Senator O. D. Cochran opened the attack on the bil which had been introduced by President Brunejle, contending that the existent Fed- eral law actually applies to Alaska and that he was opposed to dele- gating Territorial authority to a Federal agency. Under the bill a Commission, headed by the Gover- nor and including two others ap- pointed by him, would have exegli~ tion of the law. He zrgued that Ter- ritorial authority should rest with a strictly Territorial official. Mr. Cocnran was supported in his position by Sercior Henry Ro- den of the First nnd by Senater James H. Patterson of the Third, the latter declaring he felt the aviators of the Territory should -be contacted for an expression before final action was taken. Senator Ro- den moved a week's postponement and the Senate approved without. dissent. Four memorials were approved by the Senate dealing with road con- struction. They were: The Coffey, Kennedy memorial+asking exten-|. sion of a road from the Anchorage- Lake Spenard road in;a southerly, direction some two jnifles to open up that district; the Cochran mem- orial asking extensign ‘of ' the Fed- eral’ Highway Act to Alaska; the Patterson memorial, requesting a road from Mineral Creek in the Valdez district through the area to the Cliff mine, and House Joint Memorial No. 4 asking for a road in the Fish Creek area near Pal- mer. — Mrs. Alice Laughlin was admit- ted to St. Ann's Hospital this morning.

Roses in January, and surf and snow sports running concur- | rently, now seem to him as marvel- jous as they should to the blurb artists. Furthermore, he has brought back |an acute attack of patriotism. In |his native Californian youth, he {liked to think of himself as a “citi- zen of the world,” just as he thought of California as a point of depar- ture for New York. Nationalism, he thought, stamped one as insular. Crumpets And Tea Douglass was home-sweet-hom- ing thus over many cups of tea, a mountainous salad and a substan- tial dish labeled Lady Cavendish crumpets. Crumpets and tea . . . h-m-m-m. He caught the suspicious' gleam in his inquisitor’s eye. “I know,” he said, “I know. I'm |being embarrassed by tea. People think I've gone British. But I've |always been a hound for tea. And crumpets — well, I -eat everything. I've a rapacious appetite. I'm on the wagon in all possible ways—no |liquer, no wine, no cigarettes—since January 1. I'm a smug model of | | the appetite!” | Proceeding by ravenous attacks on his plate to prove this point, he told of the play which will take him back to New York, his role |again one of those wide-eyed ju- | veniles from which he fled to Eng- |land. “Little Man, What Now?” has |matured considerably—especially in bulk—but the Martin Flavin play But now—he'’s Uncle Sammy’s boy. ! {virtue, and what virtue does do for | was the only one he liked among those available. He's in Disguise “I want to stop those parts,” he | said, “while 'm still young enough |to play them. That's why I'm in Hollywood in disguise — an old | man’s limp, this (he indicated his | moustache) and circles under the | eyes. I keep oh hoping some direc- tor will notice.” | The moustache, at least, was real. His only “limp” was in A wrist, broken by a fall during the making of an English picture. The break, it seems, is one of those that baffle surgeons, and Douglass’ pride of possession is dampened by his confusion and inconvenience, FORMER ARC OFFICER IS MARRIED IN TEXAS Announcements have been re- 'ceived in Juneau of the marriage of Capt. Harry Earl Fisher, Corps of Engineers, who was in Alaska several years ago as a member of the Alaska Road Commission.
