FAMOUS ACTRESS
PASSES AWAY IN
EASTERN HOME
BORN IN TUCKAHOE, NEW YORK, j
SEVENTY-NINE YEARS AGO
HAD HEART DISEASE j
NEW CANAAN, Conn., Nov. 21
Clara Morris, the well known emo
tional actress, died of heart disease
today, following a short illness. She
was 79 years old.
Clara Morris, who was Mrs. Fred
erick C. Harriott, in private life, was j
one of, the great emotional actresses 1
of the English-speaking stage of a
number of years ago and for more
than twenty-five years she enjoyed
much popularity and prosperity.
The actress put so much energy
and feeling irito her roles, however,
that she suffered a complete nervous
breakdown at the height of her ca
reer, and it was only after a long
retirement that she was able to re
turn intermittently to the stage. In
1894 she found it impossible to con
tinue acting, and for several years
devoted her time to writing, chief
ly on theatrical subject^.
During the latter period she suf
fered many financial reverses and in
1907, she became temporarily blind.
During her prosperity Miss Morris
had purchased “The Pines” at Yon
kers, N. Y., formerly a part of the
Ediwin Forrest estate. A number of
benefits enables ^fiss Morris and
her husband to live at “The Pines”
long after she had retired from the
stage but in 1910 they were threat
ened with eviction for failure to
maintain interest payments on mort
gages.
This aroused much feeling among
older theatergoers, with whom Miss
Morris had been a favorite. A sub
scription was stated and a consid
erable sum raised but before any
action could be taken the mortgages
were paid off by S. W. Harriott, Miss
Morris’ brother-in-law. In 1913 Miss
Morris sold her estate to a moving
picture concern and moved to White
stone, Long Island, N. Y. Subse
quently she went to live at Colonial
Heights, Tuckhoe, N. Y.
The cares which darkened her later
life were considerably dispelled in
October 1915, when Miss Morris re
ceived a life interest in $50,000 from
her brother-in-law’s estate.
Miss Morris, whose maiden name
was Morrison, was born in Toronto,
Ont., on March 17, 1846. When she
was thirteen years old she made her
first appearance on the stage at
Cleveland in “The Seven Sisters.”
Her first New York appearance was
with the late Augustin Daly on Sep
tember 13, 1870, when she played
the role of Anne Sylvester in “Man
and Wife” and scored an immediate
success. She later appeared in “Jeze
bel,” “No Name,” “Divorce,” “Arti
cle 47,” and many other popular
plays of the time.
In 1874 she acted in “Camille” and
a year later in numerous Shake
speare productions. While playing
in “The New Magdalen,” in 1883 she
was compelled to temporarily retire.
She appeared intermittently during
the next few years and announced
her retirement in 1894. In 1904,
however, she appaered in New York
as Sister Genevieve in a brief “all
star” revival of “The Two Orphans,”
and in vaudeville engagements during
the next year.
Between 1899 and 1920 Miss Mor
ris wrote a number of short fiction
stories as well as numerous articles
dealing with theatrical life.
Lew A. Powless, genial chief o
police of Anchorage, arrived in Sev,
ard on the Yukon after spending Lie
past week in Valdez during the
grand jury session of this district.
BETTER ALABASTER LAMPS OF]
TUT’S DAY FURNISHED LIGHTS
LONDON, Nov. 21. (JP)—'Whereas
the world is just beginning to use
alabaster for electric lighting, the

finer alaibaster lamps than are pro
duced today. Howard Carter, co-dis
coverer of Tutankhamen’s tomb, said
in an address here.
Mr. Carter made known that in
finding many of these lamps in the
tomb the secret of how the Egyptians
illuminated their homes wTas revealed.
SUBMARINE SUNK
BY COLLISION
WITH STEAMER
SWEDISH STEAMSHIP VIDOR RE
PORTS FEELING SHOCK AT
TIME OF ACCIDENT
LONDON, Nov. 21 (JP)—The Admi
ralty announced that the master of
the Swedish steamer Vidar, which
reached Stockholm last night, stated
that he felt a shock at the time and
place the submarine M-l disappeared.
Following an examination of the Vi
dor’s hull the Admiralty reported the
submarine must have been submerged
at the time of collision. They added:

LAST PHOTO SENT OUT ?OR
USE IN PROSPERITY EDITION
The last photo was sent out today
to make a cut for the big Prosperity
Edition the Gateway will issue about
December 5. No more photos can be
received as there will not be time to
send them to Seattle, have cuts made
and get them back. Four sections of
eight pages each have been run and
two more sections and the cover are
yet to be run, making 52 pages in
all. The edition is one of the most
profusely illustrated of any yet pub
lished in Alaska, and will be well
worth sending outside to friends.
Most of our writeups are in, but
a few remain outstanding, and it is
the request of the management that
these be sent at once.

ALL LINES BUSINESS
SHOW A MARKED
INCREASE FOR 1925
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 21 (Jp)—
This year swings into the home
i stretch with more than a 50-50 chance
|of breaking all records for American
prosperity. Already half a dozen
thumping big lines of industry—build
ing automobiles, the railroads, lumber,
petroleum and radio—have left be
hind them the good times landmarks
of other years and a dozen other in
dustries are pressing hard to make
1925 their banner year.
As viewed by government officials
who keep their flneds on the business
pulse American industry bids fair to
go thundering down the three remain
ings months of 1925 at a rate never
before equipped. Na barrier is in
sight unless the forthcoming session
of a new congress early in December
falls within that class. Even that
comes so late in the year that grant
ed it will be as obnoxious to business
generally as the old congress, its ef
fect will hardly be felt before 1926.

SONS ON GOVERNMENT PAY
ROLL, IT IS ALLEGED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 21 (£>)—
President Coolidge is convinced that
one of the favorite sports of Alaskan

hope that some will be removed to
make room for others. Consequently
