Petersburg vs. Angoon
The Petersburg Merchants madi
use of their height and took ad
vantage of missed shots by the An
goon ANB to win by more than t
doubled score. The Merchants usee
a fast break. Close guarding dur
ing the second quarter by Angoor
seemingly shook the Merchant;
momentarily. The hard-driving An

Big Scandal
NEW YORK, Feb. 21 —(JV-Long
Island University, a casualty of
basketball’s biggest gambling scan
dal, has quit all intercollegiate
sports.
The Brooklyn school, which for
many years had one of the nation’s
leading basketball teams, said last
night that its action also include
the cancellation of this season’s foui
remaining games, including twe
scheduled for Madison Square Gar
den.
LIU President T. W. Metcalf)
acted a few hours after three LIl'
star players and a former teair
captain were charged with takinf
118,500 to throw seven big games
including a National Invitatior
tournament contest last year.
$25,000 in Bribes
These four, plus three top per
formers of the National Champion
CCNY team and a player from New
York University, admitted obtain
ing a total of $25,000 in bribes, au
thorities said.
The arrested athletes are:
Sherman White, 6-foot 7-incl
LIU forward who was leading the
country in scoring and rated bj
many the best collegiate player to
day.
Le Roy Soith, LIU player and set
shot artist.
Adolph Bigos, LIU’s ace re
bounder.
Ed Warner, star of CCNY's na
tional champions.
Ed Roman, leading CCNY poin’
scorer.
A1 Roth, CCNY playmaker.
Harvey (Connie) Shaff, a lead
ing New York University scorer.
Ed Gard, LIU team captain last
season.
Briber Refused Bail
The district attorney’s office said
all eight received their bribes from
Salvatore T. Sollazzo, a Manhat
tan jewelry manufacturer and ex
convict.
Sollazzo remained in jail todaj
after State Supreme Court Justice
Samuel H. Hofstadter refused yes
terday his latest plea for freedom
on a habeas corpus writ. He has
been refused bail.
The mushrooming scandal con
tinued to bring statements from
some major schools that they will
not play further games in Madison
Square Garden. The latest was from
Denver University, which lost an
allegedly “fixed” game to LIU two
months ago.
Bigos had replaced Gard as cap
tain this year. White, one of the
nation’s highest scorers, appeared
headed for all-American honors.
Bigos, White and Smith posted
$15,000 bail each and were released
late yesterday. Gard remained in
protective custody at his own re
: quest.
The Sollazzo scandal was touched
off Sunday with the arrest of Ro
j man, Warner, Roth and Schaff.

A NORTHERN NOTEBOOK
By BOB DE ARMCND
Twenty-first of a Serial
At Juneau this evening the Pi
oneers of Alaska will start the 36th
meeting of its Grand Igloo, a bi
:nnial affair that, in late years,
has been held at Juneau on Wash
ington's Birthday in years when
he Legislature is in session.
The Grand Igloo meeting, which
;omtines business and a get-to
lether of old-timers from all parts
af Alaska, is held at this time
and place for a couple of reasons— 1
t is close to the birthdays of both
he Pioneers of Alaska and of its
mmediate predecessor, the Arctic
.brotherhood, and it is a time when
many of the members are gathered
,t Juneau for the Legislature.
Yesterday was the 44th anniver
sary of the founding of the Pioneers
and it is the youngest of a num
oer of fraternal societies that
lave been built around pioneer
esidence in the North. It is also
he only one that is active in Al
iska today.
There may nave oeen earlier or
:ar.izations of this kind than the
Sons of the Northwest, which held
its first meeting at Sitka on Mar-;!;
I, 1887, but if so they seem to
have lef; no record.
The Sons of the Northwest did
not spread beyond Sitka and it
ixisted lor only five or six years
Although the development of In
terior Alaska is often considered to
have started with the discovery
of the Klondike in August, 1896, the
act is that people began moving
into Yukon Valley many years
earlier. The first ones arrived by
the overland route from Northern
Canada to trade for lurs, and in
1880 prospectors went into the.
country over the Dyea Trail. In the j
years following there was an ever;
Increasing stream of them.
The principal settlement of the
region became Fortymile, on the
Canadian side of the boundary. By
1892 there were enough men there
who considered themselves old-ti
mers to organize the Yukon Order
of Pioneers with Leroy Napolean j
Jack" McQuesten as its first pres- !
'.dent. * i
One of the requirements i
membership in the Y. O. O. P. was ;
residence in the Yukon watershed
since 1883, but in later years this
date was moved forward from time
to time and the organization is,
still active in the Canadian Yu
kon.
The Y. O. O. P. was also the
forerunner of the Alaska-Yukon
Pioneers and its sister organiza-1
tion, the Ladies of the Golden
North, which are active in Seattle.
A rival outfit, the Forty Mile
Pioneers Society, started late in
1895, open to all those who had
been in the region prior to 1888,
but it does not seem to have lasted
very long.
The big gold rush of 1897-1898<
seemed to call for an organization
for the newcomers to the North
and the need was filled by the
Arctic Brotherhood.
The Arctic Brotherhood had its
first informal meeting aboard the
steamer City of Seattle, enroute
from Seattle to Skagway, on Feb
ruary 26, 1899. Thomas W. Farns
worth was elected the first Arctic
Chief and the badges of the so
ciety, at that first meeting, were
champagne corks for the officers
and beer corks for the brothers not
n office.
The A. B. covered all of Alaska,
Yukon Territory and British Co
lumbia north of 54-40. Camp No.
1 was established at Skagway and
the first meeting there was on
March 6, 1899. By May the mem
bership was 311. Other Camps were
established, in the order named,
at Bennett, Atlin, Dawson, E.tka,
Circle City, St. Michael, Nome,
Council City, Whitehorse, Eagle,
Rampart. Treadwell, Fairbanks,
Haines, Chena, Discovery, Ketchi
kan, Seward, Cleary, Vault Creek,
Hot Springs and Port Gibbon.
The Arctic Brotherhood was very
active for a dozen or more years,
then went into a decline that las
ted for another eight or ten years
before it folded up entirely, a
large part of its membership be- j
ing taken over by the Pioneers
of Alaska.
Of a strictly local nature was the
'87 Pioneers Association, formed at
Juneau on January 25, 1908, with
169 charter members. A requirement
of membership was arrival in the
district prior to June 30, 1887, and
since this was never changed the
organization became self-liquida
ting.
The original charter of the '87
Pioneers Association and pictures
of the members are in the Territor
ial Museum.
Although the Yukon Order of
Pioileers and the Arctic Brother
hood were both active in North
western Alaska in 1907, the former
was a little too exclusive and the
latter, perhaps, was not exclusive
enough.
At that time the Y. O. O. P. re
quired residence since 1896 and \
this automatically excluded from)
membership all of the men who
came in with the Gold Rush. On
the other hand, anyone with the
price of the initiation fee could J
join the Arctic Brotherhood the
moment he stepped off the boatj
irom Seattle or San Francisco.
So, on February 20, 1907, Igloo
No. 1 of the Pioneers of Alaska
was organized at Nome and the i
rolls were opened to those who had
arrived in Alaska prior to January
1, 1901.
The new society flourished and
spread. Igloos were established in
the order named, at Candle, St.
Michael, Fairbanks, Ruby, Juneau,
Valdez, Wiseman, Seward, Iditarod.
Ophir, Skagway, Tanana, Takotna,
Anchorage, Ketchikan, Nenana, Ko
diak, Cordova, Hyder, Wrangell,
Sitka, Chitna, McCarthy, Peters
burg, McGrath and Dillingham.
A good many of these, because
of lack of population to support,
them or lack of interest, have |
ceased to exist, but in the larger'
centers the organization has grown,]
together with its sister society, the'
Pioneer Auxiliary. The qualification
date has been moved forward from!
time to time to assure a constant!
potential of new membership and |
at present the requirement is 30 j
years’ residence in Alaska.
And so, tonight and tomorrow,1
men and women from Nome and ]
Ketchikan, Fairbanks, Cordova, An- I
chcrage and Juneau and perhaps i
other places will gather to elect |
new officers and to talk over ear- ]
lier days in our Territory.

siphoning process, especially when
higher federal normal and surtaxes
would bring an increase in the
Alaska income tax take, anyhow.
Mullaney could not say specifi
cally how many territorial tax
payers were in the excess profits
bracket without consulting his re
cords. The senate first called on
him to do so, ther. voted on the
bill without waiting fi>.’ them after
some chaffying testimony from Mar
shall Crutcher, Kodiak banker and
accountant. _
It was pointed out the excess
profits tax is levied against cor
porations only; that high income
j individuals go up into the 90 per
cent tax bracket already on the
basis of surtaxes. CVutcher ex
plained that the top federal tax
a corporation would have to pay
under the present law is 77 per
cent, but that during World War
II it had gone to 95 per cent.
