We are just too shocked today to make any com
ment over the evident end of our friend Carl Ben Eiel
son and Borland.
THE BANANA BELT
Of course we would like to get away from this old
mill for a while and trek out to California with u few
dollars and give San Diego and the boys and girls
down at Tia Juana a whirl. That is, we would have
liked to a while back because we haven’t been Outside
for a long time and would like to find out if the girls
cut their dresses any shorter and to find out what
makes the people out there click.
But wiien wTe began to read these dispatches about
those storms sweeping from h--to breakfast and cov
ering California, and burying Montana and Dakota,'
also Chicago and New York, and about the army of un
employed with their run-down shoes getting out with
the shovel to clear the snow from the streets and earn |
a hot dog, we felt sorry instead of anxious and said'
“Br-ivE and opened the door to let in some of the sun
shine.
Then we thought of taking up a subscription to
send some Alaska coal down to them or inviting them
up here to skate around and have a snack with us or
maybe a hot one of our own manufacture with some
cinnamon in it.
‘Stoo bad we can’t help them out some wTay, they
are so far away and so cold. And we don’t want to go i
down till it warms up a little. Maybe wThen spring comes
and it begins to get hot up here we may run down to
California to cool off. They say the ocean breezes down
there are right fresh.
TO CURB SLANDERERS
An effort to curb the tongues of Congressmen who
are given to making reckless and slanderous statements
concerning objects of their displeasure is seen in a
resolution introduced in the House by Congressman
Fort of New Jersey.
It is well known to every observer that both Senate j
and House members frequently take advantage of their j
legal immunity and make attacks upon citizens which
would probably result in damage suits if made by pri
vate individuals. By getting away with this line of stuff
some of them make a great hit with their constituents
back home who beleive he must be telling the truth or
have the low-down on some one, not knowing that Con
gressmen can say any thing and get away with it, for
they are immune.
While Mr. Fort's resolution would not make Con
gressmen liable to prosecution, it would give injured
persons the right to make complaint to the House, which
might then discipline the offending member according
to its own rules, if deemed proper. The public has a
right from unrestrained slander, any place, any time.
ANSLEY WILCOX DIES
BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan., 27, (/P)—
Ansley Wilcox, a friend of four
presidents and a schoolmate of
Woodrow Wilson, died yesterday
at the age of 74.
Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Balderston, j
local residents, returned home j
yesterday after making a round-1
trip to Kodiak aboard the S.S
Admiral Rogers.
The Admiral Rogers, of the P.
S. S. Co., which returned to port
yesterday from the Westward,
departs for the south within an
hour following the arrival here
i night of the regular passenger
train from the Interior.
SMALL BANKS FAIL
Over 5,000 banks have failed in
the United States since 1920, tying
up over one-half billions deposits.
It is very significant that over 70
percent of the banks that failed
had a capital of less than $50,000.
It was the small banks that failed.
Mrs. Russell H. Merrill, widow
of the late Alaska aviator “Ace”,
with her two sons, are south
bound passengers on the Admir
al Rogers which departs tonight.
Reports brought in on the S.
S. Admral Rogers are to the ef
fect the S. S. Starr has been
held up at Kanatak and will be
a week late in returning to Sew
ard.

ME FIRST HE I
Ml SIS SHORE
ANCHORAGE, Jan., 27, (Special
to the Gateway)—The rampant j
Anchor** ere Moose unmercifully;
smote the Seward Firemen basket |
ball team Saturday night 58 to 29 j
in a game that caused the studio j
building to rock with cheers from ;
the spectators who jubilantly dem- 1
onstrated their glee as the Moose!
slashed thru the guards of the pre
viously victorious Seward team for
a 32 to five lead at the halt.
Differing entirely from the initial
period the second half took on the
appearance of a real game, the
Moose getting 26 and the Firemen
24. Other than had been expected
the large playing floor here proved
a great factor in the Firemen’s un
doing. The Moose forwards seemed
everywhere especially in the clear
under the basket from where most
of the shots were made though it
seemed to make no difference for
Malcolm McKinnon, marauding
Moose, wherever he took-off from.
McKinnon put everything thru the
hoop but his trunks, accounting for
26 of his team’s points.
Lakshas, Bortz and Holding, net- ,
ted 10, nine and eight, respectively
but were topped by the two hard
fighting Firemen, Kunz, who elud
ed enough Moose to garner 14
points, and Shellhorn who turned
in 13.
Coach Groth sent Peyton in for j
Turner in the second half, stand-i
ing pat with this lineup for the re- !
mainder "of the game. Andreusen
twisted an ankle in the final quar
ter but played on in pain. He may
be replaced by Groth in the second
game.
To a man the Seward players
praised the fine referee and umpire
work of Sly and Thompson who
handled the fast game most effi
ciently. After the game both teams
were entirely exhausted.
Seward enters the second game j
not down hearted but confident of
winning and tying the series. j

POLES BLOWN DOWS
Last night’s strong gale from J
the north, mild in temperature,
blew down at least a dozen tel- j
ephone and power poles in the
north part of the city. It was
said only a couple belonged to
the S. L. & P. Co., the majority
being from the railroad line.
Service was not interrupted.
