FEDERAL POLICE RECORDS
HERE SHOW CONSEQUENCES
OF BOOZE TRAFFIC
(Anchorage Times)
Seven years of penal servitude, sev
en cases of insanity, three killings,
two suicides and 89 criminal cases—
; such is illicit whiskey’s record in An
chorage in the last seven months, a&
| cording to records on tile here.
: Harry I. Staser in charge of the
I deputy marshal’s office declares that
! the cold figures only give a small idea
of the misery and suffering that con
traband booze has caused here.
Since July 1, 1923, the records show
that a total of seven years of impris
onment have been served by men con
I victed of violation of the prohibition
j laws and seven persons committed tc
the Morningside asylum for the in
sane became mentally unbalanced as
a result of drinking. In the fatal
shooting of John and Alex Vanaja b}
Paul Fromming, the latter said the
trouble started over moonshine whis
key. Chief of Police Harry Kava
naugh wras slain by a drink crazec
native, who in turn was shot and
killed by Officer Charles Watson, the
chief’s companion. Evidence in the
Carl Hogsstrom case yesterday show
ed that Hogsstrom wras suffering from
insanity, aggravated by a booze de
bauch.
The sum of $8,000 in fines has beer
paid by violators of the prohibitior
laws during the period covered by the
statistics.
Deputy Staser emphasizes that it
dealing with cases directly or indirect
ly connected with contraband whiskey
the federal authorities have no outsid<
assistance. “Citizens that will hell
us apprehend violators of other lawi
turn their backs when we need theii
aid in enforcing the prohibition law,’
he said.
SAILS FOR ORIENT
IN 23-FOOT DORY TO
SEEK WORD OF GOC
HONOLULU, Jan. 31.—Ira Spark:
of Peru, Ind., who arrived here a yea
ago from San Francisco in a packinj
box, having consigned himself a:
freight enroute to the Orient, yester
day sailed for the Far East in a 23
foot dory. He announced that he wa:
bound for the Holy Land to “seek th<
true word for God.” A crowd estim
ated at 1 500 witnessed his departure
Spark’s* initial pilgrimage ended li
Honolulu when he was forced t<
“come up for air” after being severa
days in his package box in the hold o
the ship. Since his arrival he has
constructed several boats but most o
them proved unseaworthy.
He declared he had no fear, bu
that he would safely reach the Chin
ese coast.

TALKIN GPICTURE IS SUCCESS;!
RADIO AND MOVIE COMBINED;
INVENTOR DESCRIBES DEVICE
CLEVELAND, Jan. 30.—The phono
film, a combination of radio and mo
tion pictures, the invention of Dr. Lee
de Forest, has been demonstrated suc
cessfully, according to those who have i
; heard and witnessed the talking pic
tures.
By application of the phonofilm it
is the object of the inventor to pro
duce motion pictures in which the
j characters speak. Mr. de Forest gave
i the following explanation of the prog
, ress:
j ‘‘in the studio a motion picture is
I taken in the usual manner, but in ad-1
dition to the camera lens, which reg
isters action, a microphone passes
registers every sound made by the ac
tor. A wire from the audion antpli- j
tier to a gas-filled tube called the
photiom, located in the camera. The,
light from this tube fluctuates in ex-i
act accordance with the amplified tele
phonic currents which originate from j
the actor’s lips.
“A very fine slit is located near the
negative film through which these i
fluctimting light rays are registered
on the sensitive emulsion on the ne
gative as fine lines which are actual
photographic sound waves, and being
on the same film as the picture, in
sure perfect synchronism at all
times.”
Oscar Dahl is installing a furnace
in the Seward Hotel. With the in
stallation of heat and the recent im
provements the Seward will be a very
comfortable place to stop.
