ERECT MEMORIAL IN
HONOR SEC. SEWARD
SUGGESTED BY JUDGE
JUDGE CLEGG OFFERS SUGGES
TION AT CHAMBER LUNCHEON
OF TERRITORIAL SCOPE
SEWARD HAS A GOOD LOCATION
In Entire Territory Nothing Found
To Commemorate Memory Pur
chaser of Alaska
Judge Cecil H. Clegg voiced a sug
gestion at yesterday’s Chamber of
Commerce luncheon which perhaps
will meet more popular approval
throughout the Territory than any
suggestion put forward in recent
years. “In all the Territory of Alas
ka,” Judge Clegg said, “there is no
! permanent monument, or statue to
I
commemorate the memory of Secre
i tary W. H. Seward, who bought Al
aska for the United States, from Rus
sia on March 30, 1867, for $7,200,000
Seward, which was named after the
Secretary, strikes me as being a stra
tegic location for such a memorial; it
being the gateway to Interior Alaska
and I believe it would be a very sim
ple matter to secure the co-operation
of every citizen in Alaska to contri
bute to a fund for a permanent mem
orial within the confines of the town
of Seward.”
The wave of approval which swept
over the banquet hall, following the
conclusion of the learned Judge’s re
marks, tended much to impress all
that his suggestion will be taken up
by the locrfl chamber and brought to
a successful conclusion. Owing to
the limited amount of time at the
noon hour, and so many guests to be.
heard from, no action was taken at
that time but a definite plan will un
doubtedly be set forth at the regular
business meeting next week.
RECEPTION BREAKS DOWN AT
CRITICAL TIME WHEN MES
SAGE WAS IN AIR
FAIRBANKS, April 28. (JP)—Five

when word “of an important message”

down and nothing else has been heard
since.
CAREER ENDS IN PRISON
SAN FRANCISCO, April 28. (/P)—

lar career of Edward Rand Becker,
26, son of the wealthy San Francisco

son where he was serving his fourth
