i pulled otoe when the federals ap
proached, but one of the agents got
the drop on him.
He proved a good witness for the
state yesterday, however, telling for
the first time the inside story of the
gun fight.
He said he went to “Frank’s”
house to install a pump and Sheriff
James MicCulloch, also a witness,
testified as to a new pump being in
the place. Thompson denied making
monshine, but said the other man,
Frank, was making it.
He told how the Kimball brothres
j attempted to break in at points ot
rifles and of how he shot at them
while Frank was making a getaway.
Dan Kimball, on the stand,
frankly admitted being a hijacker.
I He said he and his brother learned
! that Frank and Thompson were
| manufacturing moonshine, and that
j they went to the house to burglar
i ize it.
I Kimball’s defense, as expressed
| through Attorney E. C. Deiley, was
■ somewhat unique. Deiley said the
1 way to begin eliminating liquor re
. forms at this stage of the liquor
question is to nab bootleggers, rath
er than hijackers, intimating that
there is so much bootlegging going
on, the temptation to hijack is al
most irresistable.
Sentence will be pronounced after
the defense has signified whether it
will ask a new trial or appeal.

Fighter Who Copped Championship
Title from Ford Butler Will
Meet “Smiling” Davies.
The coming boxing contest be
tween Fred Cullen and “Smiling”
Perry Davies to be held the latter
part of this month in Anchorage is
quickening the pulse of the lovers
of clean boxing.
Anchorage Lodge of Elks, thru
their entertainment committee is put
ting on the smoker. Gus Gelles, the
“Optimo Kid’ is responsible for Cul
len coming up, he being the business
manager for Cullen.
Fred Cullen with his bride will j
arrive in Seward on the Steamship I
Northwestern, Saturday. He was
married on the eve of his departure
from Seattle.
Cullen is giving a little weight to
Davies, but is considerable younger,
and has a splendid reputation in Ju
neau and the Outside. His last bout
in the Capital City was with Soldier
Ford Butler, from Chilkoot Barracks,
the latter having given Davies the
sleeping powders about two years
ago in Anchorage. Cullen put the
dampers on Butler—therefore a mix
up out of the ordinary is anticipated
in the coming event.
Jack Peterson has been selected by
the Elks entertainment committee to
handle the tickets for the contest in
Seward and also the advertising mat
ter for the Bills. In a letter from
Billy Murray of the entertainment
committee, the line-up for the smok

Main Event
Cullen vs. Davis
(10 Rounds)
Red Campbell vs. Borits
(Semi-Final—8 Rounds)
4 Rounds.
“Biff” Williams vs. Waterfield
The above looks like a rattling
good card and the Ians will get a
good run for their money. It is
the intention of local Elks to try
and arrange an excursion to Anch

with Railroad headquarters. Provid

Groundwork for Naval
Conference to Be Laid
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 9 —
(AP).—President Coolidge has sug
gested to Secretary Kellogg that
certain definite steps be taken to
ward laying the groundwork for a
new naval limitation conterence.
The' work, as the president sees
it, divides itself into two phases,
the first being determination of the
technical aspects of naval limita
tion that remain to be concluded;
thesecond, the sounding out in
formally of the sentiment of me
other powers as to the desirability
of calling a new conference.
Conversations thus far between
the president and the secretary of
state have been limited to this gen
eral outline of the situation. Mr
Kellogg has had no opportunity H
take up with naval experts, as he
expects to do the practical possi
bilities of a further limitation upon
cruisers, aircraft and other naval
auxiliary craft.
So far as is known, the secretary
has started no new informal con
versations in capitals relative to th<
conference plans. It is assumet
Mr. Kellogg will talk matters ove
with the naval experts before an:
definite conversations are imtiate<
abroad, in order that the govern
ments to be consulted can have ;
more complete understanding o
what the Washington govermen
thinks it might be able to accom
• plish through a supplemental con
ference.
The aircraft phase of any ne\
; conference promises to be of grea
importance in view of development
since the original naval limitation
treaty was signed. That treaty
fixed a limitation upon airplane car
rier tonnage tor each signatory
power, but left entirely open the
question of what aircraft may be
carried on capital ships or upon
ships of less than 10,000 tons dis
placement.

MOTHER
Mr. Herbert 13. Wentz, prominent
M. D. in charge of the hospital for
Natives at Akiak, Alaska writes the
Gateway that he occasionally breaks
out with that springtime fever, bet
ter known to newspaperdom as po
etry or verse, and as we are in the
adverse mood today in regards to
poetry we are submitting the timely
verse:
There are days when all hidden,
away is the blue,
And wherever I look is a dull som
bre hue.
, When the one cheerful thing in the
land where I roam,
■ Is the thought of the Mother who’s
‘ waiting at home.
_ There are nights that a-weary in
1 agonized pain,
' I long for the sound of her foot
i steps again;
For the soft healing touch of her
wonderful hand,
1 For her tremulous voice from that
f far-away land.
When the spirit’s a-biaze, and the
heart is on fire,
* And the brain’s in a tumult, when
judgment is dire;
- I long, how I long for that haven o:
. rest
c That has never yet failed me, my
3 loved Mother’s breast.
