Citizens May Vote On
Bonds for Schoolhouse
At the city council last night the
most important order of business was
a discussion as to the proper proce
dure to secure a new school building
for Seward. Professor Guy Barnett,
superintendent of the Seward schools,
was present and spoke at length on
the needs for a larger building and
grounds, which was listened to with
interest by the members. Mr. Bar
nett said the present building was
overcrowded, was dark and gloomy,
and that the children’s health and
eyesight would inevitably suffer as a
result. He believed that a new build
ing should be erected in a part of the
town not directly under the bluff, and
where the morning and evening sun
could have access to the building.
It was resolved by the council to
call a special election in the near fu
ture to vote on a $100,000 bond issue j
to be used for a new school building.
Ten days’ notice will be given before
the election is called, and if the re
quired vote is secured Delegate Suth
erland will be asked to introduce a
bill allowing the town to float bonds.
The delinquent tax list was ordered
printed.
The town clerk was ordered to issue
tax deeds to the city for the property
taken over under the last tax sale.

Drive for Membership
Be Started by Chamber
At its regular weekly meeting to
day the Chamber of Commerce re
solved to start a drive for new mem- 1
hers. Dues were also collected for !
the ensuing year.
Captain O. A. Johansen, veteran !
master of the Starr, was present, and j
spoke about the need for wireless \
communication with the westward, At
present it is necessary to relay all
message from his vessel to Seward, or
vice versa, and he believes that direct
communication with the Seward sta
tion would be more beneficial to mari
ners and residents to the westward.
Captain Johansen knows the needs
of the coast to the westward better !
than most mariners, and besides ad
vocating an increase in the number
of beacons and lights, believes that
better communications would be open
ed with all sections if the local sta
tion were made more powerful.
New membership cards were issued
today.
Some Wives Change So
Fast Husbands Afraid
of Arrest for Bigamy
KINGSTON, England, Jan. 6.—The
Rev. A. Wellesley Orr, vicar of St.
Paul’s church, Kingston Hill, has
come out against the use of paint
and powder by women. Writing to
his parishioners, the vicar says:
“Even while we are signing the
marriage registers in the church ves
try, the bride may get in a few mo
moments’ work before the mirror
with a powder puff, scissors and a
bottle. The man who came into
church in love with a blushing blonde
takes on his arm a blooming bobbed
brunette. Some wives are so con
stantly changing their appearance
that their husbands live in perpetual
dread of being arrested for bigamy.”
War Department Asks
for Big Appropriation
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The War
Department transmitted to the Rivers
and Harbors Committee of the House
a request for §14,200,000 covering four

harbors bill reported last year.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Luther
Brewer, republican, who ran indepen
dent last fall against Senator Brook
hart, progressive, has filed a contest

STAR WILL ASK
MAN’S FREEDOM
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—The man
who freed Juanita Hansen, movie
star, from the grip of drugs is in
the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta,
but he won’t be there for long, if
Miss Hansen’s efforts to free him
count for anything.
She plans to go to Washington
and lay the case of John S. Barker
before Attorney General Stone. Miss
Hansen claims Barker has done
more to cure drug addicts than any
man in the country and that for
the good of all unfortunates who
use drugs should be at liberty to con
tinue his work.
Barker, according to Miss Hansen,
was responsible for more drug cures
among Hollywood movie stars than
any other person. “Wally” Reid
was under his care and wras cured,
but later returned to the use of
drugs and eventually died from it.
Barker wTas sentenced to serve five
years last May for the sale of two
grains of morphine to a movie ac
tress in Hollywood when he was at
tempting to cure.
