to tell her story to the federal
grand jury.
Mrs. Gable, the second wife of
the actor, and we are living apart
having agreed some time ago on
an amicable separation. She ex
plained their differences were
just a case of temperament.
‘I am satisfied,” she added,
“that Clark never was in Eng
land and that Mrs. Norton’s char- j
gea against him are untrue.”
Josephine Dillon, the first wife
of Gable, came to his defense,
saying, “the whole story is very
silly.”
Nome Red Cross
Reports on Flood
Relief Drives
Nome Chapter of the American
Red Cross has completed its cam
paign for funds for the relief of
victims of the floods in the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys. A total
of $338.00' was raised.
As the last plea from Admiral
Grayson was for “at least” five
times the original amount called
for, making Nome’s quota four
hundred dollars, the Executive
Committee of the Chapter thot
it best to make up the balance
from the Chapter’s treasury, and
it is believed that this action will
be approved, for surely we may
hope and trust that no greater
emergency will arise in the near
future. There are still a few
small payments that will help,
when they come in.
Generous sympathizers in Deer
ing, Kotzebue and Golovin sent
in a total of $66.00, and the U. S.
Signal Corps telegraphed Seward
eninsula’s $400.00 outside, with
out cost to us.
Though Nome Chapter has act
ed only as a sort of messenger, in
passing along this money,to those
who are in such terrible need, we
do wish to thank the givers, the
solicitors, the Nome Nugget for
free advertising, and the Signal
Corps, for hurrying the money
along.
The above statement was fur
nished the Nome Daily Nugget
for publication today by Chas. W.
Thornton, chairman of the local
Red Cross Chapter of Nome.

Threat to Peace
Port San Pedro
(By The Associated Press)
SAN PEDRO, Feb. 8, — Or
ganization efforts of the teamsters
union threatened to hamper the
resumption of shipping at this
port, which was free by the set
tlement of the maritime strike.
Spokesmen said they would
picket the terminals of the Mat
son Line unless union organizers
were permitted to interview truck
drivers on the piers.
Officials of the line said no un
ion organizers would be allowed
on the property.
Horace Waterbury, organizer,
said “we intend to close this port
to everybody except union driv- j
ers. We expect the maritime un
ions to back us up.”
