N. GREENE OF ,
CORDOVA DIES
SAN FRANCISCO
News of the death of one of Cor
dova’s most prominent citizen, Na
thanael Greene, was received by The
Gateway on yesterday’s steamer from
Cordova.
The Cordova Times published the
/following account:
Cordova was both shocked and
grieved this morning to learn of the
death of our former townsman,
Nathanael Greene, which occurred at
(San Francisco, Saturday night the
sad news being received here in
telegrams to George C. Hazelet and
A. J. McConnell, who were former
■associates of his in business. No
details were received other than
the fact that Mr. Greene went to
the hospital Saturday morning and
passed away there that night. The
funeral was held yesterday, after
wdiich the body was cremated.
Mr. Greene was born at Bridge
port, Connecticut, May 13, 1855, and
came to Alaska in 1893, locating at
Juneau, where he was connected
with the Nowell mining operations
as an accountant. For eight years
he was city clerk of the capital city
and also served the. town in other
public positions. Having resided in
Juneau for seventeen years during
the early settlement of that part of
the territory, he became acquainted
with men in most of the camps of
Alaska.
In 1910, Mr. Greene came to Cor
dova as accountant for the Cordova
Power Company, which later became
the present Alaska Public Utilities,
and for years was also the secretary
treasurer of that corporation. Dur
ing his residence here he held many
positions of honor and trust, and
■was always an active leader in all
civic matters. He was city clerk
and magistrate for many years, and
for four years was president of the
Cordova School Board; served for
three years as Bank Examiner of the
Third Division, was president of the
Cordova Republican Club and a char
ter member of Igloo No. 19, Pio
neers of Alaska, the only fraternal
organization to which he (belonged.
On account of ill health Mr.
Greene left Cordova in May, 1924,
for San Francisco, where he con
tinued to reside up to the time of
his death. He had been suffering
from his eyes and stomach and felt
that he must give up all hope of
ever again becoming active in a
business way, which he did. While
his health was apparently improved
his advanced age forbade any over
exertion and he took life easy, but
nothing pleased him ibetter than to
meet and entertain any of his old
Alaskan friends when they visited
the Golden Gate City.
Mr. Greene was nearly 76 years
of age and is survived by his wife
and daughter, Dorothy, now Mrs. J.
J. Rankin, of San Francisco, and a
brother, Charles, librarian at Oak
land.
MOVIE SCHOOL SOON TO TURN
OUT GRADUATES IN PICTURES
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. (/P)—A movie
school graduation, in which the mak
ing of a picture is the test and con
tracts the diplomas for successful
students, will soon be held in New
York.
In this unique school the course of
study includes the art of kissing be
fore thecamera, dancing anything
from the classical to the Charles
[ 'ton, pantomine, emotional contral,
I character study, loss of self con
! sciousnes, scenarios, swimming, gym
l nasium exercises and fencing.
These Ford tin-geese act almost like
some of their unruly cousins, the tin
lizzies.
TRICKS ON PROFESSIONAL
BURGLAR ALWAYS ON TEST
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. (Jp)—.In a
New York laboratory, there ar© men
continually working and studying to
keep up with the tricks, old and
new, of professional burglars.
These experts crack supposedly
burglary-proof safety vaults, solve
the mystery of electric alarm sys
tems designed to protect building
from thieves and open looks reput
ed to be unopenable without the
right keys—all to beat the burglar at
his own game.
When a national epidemic of bur
glaries became serious, it resuited
in insurance companies apd manu
facturers authorizing the Underwrit
ers Laboratories to assume the writ
ing of standards of various means
of protection and then to test de
vices to see if they measured up to
the provision.
MORGAN BROKE CONSECUTIVE
HIT RECORD OF TRIS SPEAKER
CHICAGO, Jan. 29. (jP)—'Charley
Margan, a catcher on the Macon team
in the South Atlantic League, put
himself in a class with the best of
them last season when he smashed
the record for consecutive hitting
which Tris Speaker hung up in 1920.
Speaker’s record was eleven straight
and Morgan turned in an even doz
en in a row.

run in a game on May 31, when he

hits out of four aUbats, duplicated
the stunt in his next game, made a
hit in his one time up in a fourh

first time up in the fifth game.
The Roumanian crown prince who
is being sought in the gay show places

come to the conclusion a ring-side seat

If these “hit-and-run” autoists could
be induced to bunt it would be a lot
easier on the pedestrians.
