Harry C. Lott was found in front of his cabin on the beach about half way between Thane and the DuPont Powder Company's location. An autopsy made by Dr. L. P. Dawes revealed that Capt. Lott had been murdered. Two jagged, gaping holes extending into the brain were found and the back portion of the head was crushed in. No trace of the murderer or murderers had been found as yet. U. 8. Marshal George D. Beaumont and his deputies had been working to unearth some clue. The body was found by N. G. Beaudin, cook at Thane, and B. L. Holbrook, when they were walking along the beach. Gen. Wildes P. Richardson, well known former head of the Alaska Road Commission and for many years a resident of Juneau and other Alaskan tcwns, was to leave Seattle on the Northwestern the following day on his way to Alaska, according to word received at the local ARC headquarters. Gen. Richardson had been called to active service several | months previously and placed on the Interdepartmental Alaska Commit- tee as War Department representative. He was later put in charge of the clearing house for Alaskan affairs established by Secretary of the Interior A. B. Fall. Mrs. J. F. Pugh, and her daughter, Venetia, werc to leave on the Admiral Evans for Seattle on iheir way to Los Angeles on a vacation trip. Miss Pugh expected to attend Bellingham Normal School in the | fall. Mrs. H. 8. Graves and her daughter, Mary Aleece, left Juneau on the Princess Alice for a pleasure trip to Seattle. Four well known young men of Juneau made the crossing from the | Glacier Highway across the bar to Douglas Island the previous evening in a light six Studebaker touring car. Once the car took a deep dive and ignition trouble resulted which lasted for several minutes before the car proceeded. On the Douglas side a stop of an hour was made at Hendrick- | son’s ranch where strawberries and cream, cake and milk was enjoyed. »Thvy left the Juneau side at 8:30 o'clock and made the return trip at 19 30 o’clock in ten minutes. The young men making the trip were Henry Hanna, driver; Willlam Alexander, Arnot Hendrickson and Arthur | Bringdale. | Mr. and Mrs. Tom McDonald, oldtimers on Douglas Island, left in the morning for Everett, Washington. He was known for his interest in athletics on the island. Frank LeNoir, another oldtime resident of Douglas, also left for the south to locate in California. Mrs. LeNoir had left several months earlier. { Walter B. Heisel, of the General Land Office, returned to Juneau on the Jefferson from Skagway where he had been on official business. | Rev. C. E. Rice, Dean of Holy Trinity Cathedral, returned on the Jefferson from Skagway after spending a short time in the Lynn Canal community. During his stay, Dean Rice conducted Sunday services. | Weather was fair with a maximum temperature of 69 and a mini- mum of 62.

I know it would make a big hit with the women.” “It probably would,” snapped Frankfurter, “but it wouldn’t make a hit with me. I won't have a woman law clerk.
