SUBMARINE CABLE BETWEEN SHAW ISLAND
AND SAN JUAN BROKEN TWICE IN MONTH;
RUM RUNNERS BLAMED FOR ALL TROUBLE
■
VANCOUVER, B. C., Mar. 26.—
Rum runners are blamed for break
ing the submarine cable of the Brit
ish Columbia Telephone company be
tween Shaw and San Juan islands, j
Twice within a month this cable j
was broken, and both times the end j
was thrown clear of Shaw island.
On investigation by the cable ship
lwalant, it was found that the ca
ble had probably held a fair sized
rum runner’s anchor, while the Am
erican boat took the cargo from the j
Canadian ship. j
The steamer Prince Albert is now
tied up at Victoria awaiting verdict
of the admiralty court in a case
* where the Commercial Cable com- i
pany, of San Francisco, claimed dam-1
ages on the ground of having its ca- j
ble cut, allegedly by the crew of the
Prince Albeit.

LENINE WILL NEVER NEED
A SHAVE SAYS UNDERTAKER
CHICAGO. Mar. 27.—Nicolai Lenin
will never need another shave, as his
body lies exposed for public venera
tion in the Russian capital, declared
Harry G. Samson, of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
director of the National Selected Mor
ticians, in an address here. Press
reports have said that the cathedra!
in which Lenin lies was closed so that
his cheeks might he shaved owing to
the growth of his beard after death.
“Hair does not grow after death,”
said Samson. “There is not a single
authentic instance of hair growing af
ter death. This is superstition which
science reveals to be without founda
tion.
“The body of Lenin may remain a
public shrine for centuries if it is de
sired. An eccentric English physi
cian years ago caused the body of his
wife to he embalmed but never would
allow it to be buried. At his death he
left it to the Royal College of Sur
geons in London, where it is now, to
all appearances, a beautiful woman ly
ing asleep.”
Nine aliens smuggled across the
border in a box car were discovered

Federal Court May Rule
on Kansas Trade Grant
TOPEKA, Mar. 26.— (AP).—The
privilege of membership in any Kan
sas board of trade, extended by the
stale legislature to more than 550
cooperative grain marketing associ
ations, is likely to be challenged in
federal court, according to legislators
who sponsored the Davis board of
trade act.
The Capper-Tincher act of Cong
ress permits cooperative associations
to enjoy membership in boards of
trade designated as contract mar
kets by the secretary of agriculture.
“But there are only five such mar
kets in the United States,” declar
ed John W. Davis, Kansas state
senator, who drafted the statute.
“Kansas should have home markets
and the grain associations should
be admitted on an equality with
other board of trade members.”
Kansas boards of trade at Wichita,
Hutchinson and Salina, have exclud
ed certain cooperative organizations
from membership, ruling that the
distribution of profits from grain
transactions among the farmer mem
bers constituted “rebating,” and was
unfair to other board members.
The Davis act aimed to remedy
this alleged discrimination by declar
ing all boards of trade in the state
contract markets, affected with a
public interest, and prohibiting them
from denying membership privileges
to any cooperative association of
producers which conforms with its
regulations. The law was passed
without opposition, although the
boards of trade presented their-case
before committees.
Doubt was expressed on the floor
of the state senate as to the con
stitutionality of the measure, since
it goes farther than Congress in
declaring all boards “essential” and
“contract markets.” It was contend
ed that boards of trade are, in fact,
private enterprises and the belief
was that they will seek to test the
validity of the statute in federal
court.

Dr. L. G. Higgins of Chicago was
arrested for speeding and during the
delay the patient died.
Authorities at Lynn, Mass, have
denied the use of the name Roose
velt by an apartment house that has
been raided.

Detroit Daily Will Move
Into New Home In Jane
DETROIT, Mar. 26.—(AP).—On a
site that once was part of the old
Fort Shelby military reservation, but
now is in the heart of Detroit's
downtown business district, is near
ing completion a new 14-story build
ing, the new home of the Detroit
! Free Press, Detroit’s oldest daily
newspaper.
When, some time in June, the
completed building is ready for occu
pancy bv editorial and mechanical
staffs, just 94 years will have elapsed
j since the Detroit Free Press wa>
1 founded as a weekly.
Covering a ground ar^a o! 27,u56
square feet, the new structure occu
pies the entire block between Cass
Avenue and Wayne Street. Above the
| main body of six floors rises an
| eight-story tower.
While structural work is in pro
cess mechanical equipment already
] has been set up in the two base
| meats, which form virtually two ad
ditional floors as a substructure to
the whole. Production of the daily
issue is expected to get under wav
in the new building some time be
fore the editorial and other staffs are
housed there. Equipment looking
forward to years of expansion is b*
ing installed.
The new building, to be known as
"The Detroit Free Press Building,''
will be in marked contrast to the
modest little plant in which Shel
don MacKnight on May 5, 1831.
founded the paper as a weekly. This
was at the corner of Wodbridge
and Bates streets, not far from the
water front.
One thing the world neds is an
amplifier for the still small voice.
