Thousands from the rank and file of Italians and foreigners pass- ed reverently around the bier. The Holy Father's body is clothed in white, wearing a priest’s red Chasuble, a gold Bishop’s mitre on the head. The hands, enclosed in red gloves, are folded with a small , crucifix in them. The feet are in red ~ % slippers. Uniformed Noble Guards stand at the four bier corners and Papal Gentlemen-In-Waiting, dressed in medieval costums designed by Mich- ael Angleo, keeps the crowd moving. Bishops Pay Tribute Two hundred and fifty Bishops have been among the worshippers. Crown Prince Umberto was escort- ed to the Chapel to pay the respects of his father, the King. ¥ Premier Mussolini'’s son-in-law, Count Ciana, gave the dead Pope the straight arm Fascist salute. The gesture attracted attention as in this part of Rome, the greeting is rarely seen Cardinals Gather. Forty Cardinals are already in Rome and others are enroute. The Cardinals must elect a new Pope no later than February 28. ‘ The foremost candidate appears to be Adeodata Cardinal Piazza, Pat- riarch of Venice, the youngest of prominent prospects. He is 54.

Monday Is Holiday— Or s It Q Territorial offices will be closed and Federal offices open here on Monday, Lincoln’s Birthday. Banks will be closed, but stores and other business houses will remain open as usual. Due to a division of opinion be- tween two Federal auditors now examining here, one saying the Legislature must meet Monday and the other saying that day is a holi- day for the Legislature, both Houses have decided it will be safest to convene Monday and answer roll call, although no business will be conducted in either House. | 1 I TRY.THIS SOMETIME, SPEEDY MONOPLANE GIVEN TEST BY ARMY AIR CORPS; 15 REVELATION IN FLYING TERRORISTS | REPULSED IN | BRISK CLASH Soldiers in Buchares Quickly Put Down Demonstration BUCHAREST, Feb. 11— fired rifles and pistols in a brisk clash with Terrorists and rejulsed | an effort to seize the State Radio| Station. | Several Terrorists were killed and | {others captured. | Pighting occurred on all sides of | the station. | The exictement was provoked by the trial of Iron Guard members? and who have been sentenced to| death.

IAMERICANRUN " 10 ORIENT IS AGAIN OPENED \Freighters fo Ply Route | Soon, Followed by Pas- senger-Cargo Ships WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. — The Maritime Commission today an- nounced immediate reestablishment of American flag freighter service between Seattle and the Orlent. It is sald the service will begin | as soon as the suitable commissioned | vessels can be moved to Puget Sound, the freight service to be supplement- led within eight months by four | combination passenger and freight | ships now in the Baltic service. There has been no American flag service out of Seattle to the Orient {since last June when the Dollar| isteflm.fihip Company withdrew its | American Mail Line boats. The commission rejected the pro- | posal of a Puget Sound delegation |to put four idle Munson liners into | service, on the ground that the | chance it stood of losing about three million dollars before the new ships are ready for service if the Munson liners are used, while if the Baltic | ships are used, the chance of break- ing even is more apparent. | DA 5 | | The first creamery in the United| States built in Orange county, )d»d two weeks by the shipping tieup. N. Y. in 1856 | Charles Goldstein, owner of the five story Goldstein Bullding des= troyed by fire last Wednesday, stated today that he has no information regarding the bullding of a new structure, Arriving here on the Princess Norah yesteday after a vacation of several weeks which took him to Los Angeles and Mexico City, Mr. Gold- stein indicated today that the loss in the fire amounted to approximate- 1y $250,000, how much of this is cov= | ered by Insurance he was unable to state due to destruction of records and personal papers in the fire, $6,000 Loss Of Furs Furs to the value of over $60,000 ‘were reduced to ashes and these car- | ried no insurance coverage. The vol- |ume of furs which he carried in | stock in the Charles Goldstein Fur- rier Store, was swelled 8 few weeks previous to the conflagration, by the receipt of shipments of raw pelts from _posts. - Largest dressed furs, No furs were stored in the concrete vault which still stands in the right | hand rear corner of the building shell. The refrigerating room, con- taining most of the furs, was made of wood and completely destroyed. Some of the furs stored by private individuals in the furrier shop were covered by insurance, these policies, according to Mr. Goldstein, being secured only at the request of the individual owners. A steel safe reposes inside the con- crete vault. This will be closed for 10 days, allowing it sufficient time to cool in order to prevent possibility of explosion when the receptacle is opened. Valuable papers and per- sonal documents are contained in the fireproof depository. All advance plans for rebuilding will await decisions of the insurance adjustor, M. J. Moe, who is expected to arrive in Juneau sometime next week. Until he has completely sur- veyed the damage, Mr. Goldstein does not wish to commit himself on future plans. First indication of the fire reartnq Mr. Goldstein via wireless whilo the Princess Norah was cCroso.ug Queen Charlotte Sound. The mes- sage was handed to him by Mayor Harry 1. Lucas of Juneau who was a fellow passenger on the boat about 5:30 o'clock last Wednesday after~ noon. Mr. Goldstein has owned the site on which the Goldstein Building stood since 1906. The building erect- ed in 1914 at a cost of over $110,000 was at that time the largest struc- ture in the Territory. Originally housing the Charles Goldstein Emporfum and grocery store on the ground floor and Fed= eral and Territorial Offices and general offices on fthe upper stories, the building has since undergone re- modeling programs which total to an additional cost of $100,000. The own- er spent $38,000 renovating the se- cond story for the Juneau Medical and Dental Clinic. At one time, in 1915, the Territor- ial Legislature held sessions in the building. City workmen were busy today hacking into the debris seeking smoldering fires which have recur- rently cropped out in the charred heap during the past few days. All smoke sources appeared to have been eradicated today. Mr. Goldstein who was Outside for several weeks on a pleasure trip, motored through a large section of California, Texas, and Old Mexico. Accompanying him on the journey were his wife and daughter and son~ in-law, Mr. and Mrs. M. Dolginer. Office space in one of the store sections of the Baranof Hotel will be occupied by Mr. Goldstein probably by Monday. The office is being pre- pared in advance by the hotel of- ficials, and Mr. Goldstein will be the first occupant in the modern struc- ture.
