FIRST WOMAN
TO HOLD POST
OF COLLECTOR
SALT LAKE CITY, March 26 (by
Associated Press).—Utah and Nevada,
comprising the forty-eighth cnstoms
district, will have the first woman cus
toms collector in the United States if
the senate ratifies the recent presiden-1
tial appointment of Mrs. Estelle V. i
Collier of Salt Lake City to that posi
tion. She is to succeed T. F. Thomas,.
resigned.
Mrs. Collier is the present chairman
of the woman’s state Democratic com
mittee, and for many years has been
prominent in Utah politics. During
!
the world war she was an active;
worker and was a member of the I
state council of defense, and had i
charge of the registration of the j
women of the state when the govern
ment, through the various state coun- j
cil of defense organizations, endeav
ored to find out just what the women
of the country could do to help win the
war.
The post to which Mrs. Collier was j
nominated by President Wilson here- j
tofore has paid an annual salary of
$2,500. It is believed by United States
Senator William King, Democrat, of
Utah, who advocated Mrs. Collier’s
nomination, that there will be no con
test when the senate is asked for a
confirmation of the appointment. Mrs.
Collier will assume her new duties im
mediately after senate confirmation.
She is the wife of R. E. L. Collier, a
prominent Utah business man.

FOUL PLAY IS
FEARED IN CASE
OF CORDOVAN
James Hartney, formerly of Cordo
va and who will be remembered by
old-timers as the operator of a saw
mill on Hartney bay, is reported miss
ing in California and foul play is
feared. Previous to coming to Alaska
Hartney bought a large acreage of
tidelands near Eureka, California. Out
cf this he gained a fortune, it is said.
Lately he has been in the contracting
business.
Hartney came into his wealth in
June, 1916, when he won a suit
against the Pacific Lumber Company
by which he became possessor of
property valued at $200,000. Hartney
had obtained a patent to the land
from the state in 1896. While he was
in Alaska the land was sold for taxes.
Later he started suit to recover title.
The last heard of Hartney was
when he left the Hotel Parsley, in
San Francisco, September 4 last. The
police of that city have been called
upon by U. S. McMullen, a business
associate of Hartney, to aid in the
search and detectives are now work
ing on the case. Foul play is sus
pected. Hartney is 65 years old, a
widower and supposed to have had
considerable money on his person.
