That man, Joseph Patrick Ken- nedy, was the host. He was first at the restaurant, arriving fresh in white linens, though the day was a wilter. Grumbling Is Heard Ncw, Mr. Kennedy's arrival in Washington the day before had been accompanied by a lot of back- stage grumbling from New Deal- ers. He was the new Secur Ex- change Commissioner. But—there was the rub—until then he had been a Wall Street man himself; had played ball with the very group he was supposed to reform. The SEC bill that gave him his position had been fathered by two men who waste no love on Wall Street, the “Frankfurter Twins” Tommie Corcoran and Ben Cohen. ‘What's more, the bill had been re- fined by .another “brain truster,” James Landis. Well, who do you think Mr. Kennedy invited to eat this first lunch with him? None other than Corcoran, Cohen and Landis! He arose to greet them, grinned his frank, engaging, newsboy’s grin and asked, “Why the Hell do you boys hate me?” Up to $235,000,000 Public record on that luncheon stops there. But Kennedy soon got busy trying to convince Wall Street that the SEC act would simplify its work. When he had been in Wall Street, Kennedy had wanted something like the SEC himself. And he got results. Wall Street doubts vanished. In the 17 months prior to March, 1935, there had only been $89,000,000 in new bond issues. In September, 1935, the new issues totaled $235,000,000 for that month alone. That was all Kenne- dy wanted. He quit—for “a quiet, peaceful life” with his lovely wife, Rose Kennedy, and their nine chil- dren. That's what He thought. Then, some time later President Rocse- velt needed a man to head the Maritime Commission. Among other things, that agency had to setile claims totaling $73,000,000, made against the government by 23 ship- owners. The President persuaded Kenne- dy to leave his retirement and be- come maritime commissioner. Ken- nedy settled the $73,000,000 claims for $750,000. So it's excusable that people ex- pect a solemn adding-machine of a man in Kennedy. A man slightly set ap on himself. But Joe Kenne- dy doesn't fit a pattern. Bond St., Park Ave., Back Bay He's tall, square-shouldered. with a heart-shaped, ruddy, freckled face, He's friendly and open. His clothes look like Bond Street; his manners (except for swift flashes of temper) are Park Avenue, his English is Boston Back Bay. Kennedy was born in East Bos- ton of kindly, Irish parents, H.Ls‘ father’s namv still is remembered gratefully Boston Democrats. The father was a State Senat a neighborhood banker later Young Joe was full of enterprise He sold candy on excursion boats (now he's making over the whole merchant marine). He organized a spectacular boy's baseball team and then proved himself the perfect captain by winning the mayor’'s cup for high batting. That cup started another story. 1t was awarded by Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, who had a beautiful daughter, Rose. She spent her high school days abroad where she won a Belgian medal as a pianist. Kennedy went to Harvard. When Rose came home she was squired by many, among them Kennedy, whom she married in 1914. Their affection for each other has been notable. Abcut the Stork Just the other day Mrs. Kennedy was rushed to a New York hos- pital for an appendicitis operation Kennedy couldn’t leave his desk here. He's winding up the mer- chant marine affairs and swallow- ing State Department secrets in big chunks. Twenty-four hours after the op- eration Kennedy answered his of- fice phone. Mrs. Kennedy was on the line. “Hello, Darling!” Kennedy almost shouted. “Your courage is amazing. I wish I had it.” He's the originator of the best story about her. She has had nine children, yet it still is difficult to pick her among her daughters. “She’s the answer,” says Kenne- y, grinning, “to the story that there is a stork. There must be." When they were married Kenne- dy was earning $125 a month as a bank examiner. But there were signs his father's small bank was to be gobbled. Young Kennedy bor- rcwed money and gained control of the bank, became its president at 25. That was a newspaper sensa- tion. Kennedy was annoyed. “It's no crime to be young,’ he. Since then he’s done many jobs. He gets bored when everything is running smoothly. He says, “T'll work for nothing, but it's got to be interesting.” However, he did not work for nothing. One way or another he's built a fortune estimated at from nine to thirty-five million. He went from’ the bank to shipping. Then back *to banking. Took a whirl at motion pictures from 1926 to 1930. That was an endurance race ia commuting. He left the family in New York, commuted to Hollywood by plane. He helped consolidate RKO. Then he went into Wall Street. And he cashed out long te- fore the crash. His life has no set pattern. Want to know how he spent a recent week-end? He rushed to New York for a Friday night per- formance of “The Valkyrie”; took the family to a Saturday matinee of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and spent Saturday night listening while Toscanini directed an orchestra. The East Boston Irish boy has two friends about whom he likes to talk; one is Franklin Roosevelt, the other is Arturo Toscanini. See? No pattern. said TUNE'S A-WASTINY W MURDERERS PAY THEIR PENALTY VARIOUS WAYS Questions as s to How Gov- ernment Executes Are Given Answers (Continued irom Page One) A choice of hanging or shooting is given prisoners in Utah. Several Southern states provide for hang- ing in public, a spectacle designed —with debatable success—to throw fear into the hearts of the way- ward., In states like Michigan, which don’'t have capital punish- ment, the Federal prisoner may be executed in a neighboring state. i e GRUESOME BUSINESS The new ecxecution iaw was de- manded as a result of a Federal hanging about two years ago when an Indian convict dangled on a rope for 33 minutes before he died. Arizona already hds replaced hanging with the gas chamber af- ter a hanging in which a woman's head was jerked off. Thus the gas chamber was available to execute the Indian, but the U. S. Marsl could not use it because Federal law prescribed hanging. The Federal Bureau of Standards never has gone deeply into the ques- tion of how best to bump off a criminal, but there is no study course on the subject even in the liberal colleges. Gassing presumes to be fast as well as scientific, but spectators re- port that the plunk of the ball of chemicals into the pan of acid and the subsequent sizzling while poison gas is generated go on for endless seconds before a paralyzing whift reaches the throat of the convict EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT Wyoming once uad, and Idaho still has, a hanging device which requires the victim to stand on a trap door while a trickle of water fills a tub which springs a latch and drops him to the end of the rope. Utah murderers usually choose shooting, although it is recorded that one insisted on a scaffold be- cause it cost more. We witnessed the shooting .of one Pedro Cano in the Utah prison and can report that the actual execution is fast but the preliminaries drag. Cano was taken before daylight from his cell on an upper floor. On each landing as he marched down he shouted, “Good bye, all my friends, my time has come.” = The imprisoned men screamed and beat on their cell doors with pots and buckets. Outside Cano was hooded and strapped in a chair against the pris- on wall, just opposite a work shop, one of whose windows was covered by a black cloth slit down the mid- dle. Behind it were the execution- ers. Shootings are at official sunrise and as the time came a voice inside the shop said slowly: “Get ready . aimy. . . fire,” Not until the blast did it occur to us that Cano also had heard that imterminable ‘Get ready . . . aim . . . fire” S g, . ' DOUGLAS . NEWS WOMEN'S CLUB TAKES UP ISSUE CONTESTANT TO BIG ICE CARNIVAL The Douglas Island Women's Club held their February meeting last evening at the Government School with Mrs. Robert DuPree and Mrs. Roy DuPree as hostesses. From a lettér from Mayor L. W. Kilburn regarding sending a repre- sentative to the Fairbanks Ice Car- nival, we quote the following: “While all Douglas has concentrat- ed for the past year in getting all organizations back to normal, and it does not seem to me that we should raise any funds for this . . . but it has occurred to me that we have plenty of talent in Fairbanks, the selection of any one of which we would be proud to enter as a contestant.” Acting upon the above suggestion, the Misses Baker and Elliot were |nppoixll_efl m prepare ballot boxes, | 938.

SCHOOL BOARD MAKES HOLIDAY FOR SCHOOL ON FEBRUARY Meeting for the purpose of pay- ing the monthly salaries and other usual bills besides giving attention to such other business to be pres- ented, the Douglas School Board last night disbursed the sum of $1446.60 as the February portion of the annual budget. It was decided to hold a special session Friday evening in the new school building to check all equip- ment received to date. Next Tues- day, February 22, was made a holi- day for pupils and teachers in honor of Washington's birthday as has been customary in other years. Scoutmaster Dick MacDonald, who was present at the meeting, peti- tioned the board for the use of the play-room in the basement of the school, when completed, as head- quarters for the scouts and cubs. It was agreed to grant the privilege providing all scout meetings held in the building be governed by either the scoutmaster or his as- sistant. 678 R S e W G LR BT } — -4 RELIABLE TRANSFER | Our \rucks go any place any time.

Seattle “Moves” Alaskan Declares Imagine the surprise of Sid Paul- son when he arrived in Seattle and found the “town” had moved, says a recent Post-Intelligencer. Paulscn, who operates a placer mine on Colorado Creek near Fol- ger, Alaska, and went North to Dawson in 1897, is in Seattle on his first trip “out” in thirty-six years. “The business district was all cn 1st Avenue in those days,” Paul- son said. “There were only a few shacks in Pine St.” After visiting California on his present trip, Paulson said he found Seattle with its many new buildings had changed more than any other city he saw, but not as much as Alaska. “It used to take seven days to travel from Folger to Anchorage and I ean make it in two and a half hours now,” he said, referring to the development of air travel in Al- aska. - - Lode and placer location notices for sale at The Empire Office.
