The wife of Vice President of the
United States slept on the floor of
the parlor of the Hotel Jefferson's
presidential suite Sunday night rath
er than disturb her distinguished
husband, or guests in adjoining
rooms.
Her husband had been in bed all
day with a severe cold. She at
tempted to sleep, but was restless,
and feared her restfulness would
disturb the vice president.
There were two alternatives ?
ask the management to install a
bed in the parlor or sleep on the
parlor floor. She realized the in
stalling of a bed would awaken oth
er guests. So at 1 o'clock, while
the Vice President was asleep, she

blanket on the floor and finally
dropped off to sleep.

STUDENTS OF
SCHOOLS WILL
USE U TANK
Question of Using the
Gym Will Be Taken
up Later with
the Trustees.
Regarding the schedulo arranged
for tho Juneau school students to
use of the Arctic brotherhood gym
and tank, as published exclusively
In The Empire yesterday. Prof. L.
D. Hendorson, superintendent of City
Schools today made the following
statement:
'"During last year the Juneau
School Board made arrangements for
the use of both the tank and gym
nasium of the A. B. Hall on every
school day of tho week from the
hours of 3:15 until 5:00 p. m. and
for the use of the tank for elemen
tary school boys on Saturday morn
ings. A schedule was arranged pro
viding for the use of the tank by
each member of the school from
the third grade through the high j
school two timos each week.: Ow-j
ing to the fact that 110 member of
the faculty was available for con-1
ducting the work of the gymnasium,
It was decided not to take advant
age of the opportunity to use It
except for the high school boys dur
ing the basket-ball season.
At the opening of the present
school year, the same arrangements
were made with Pat Scott, the man
ager of the building then In charge.
A schedule for the use of the tank
?In practically every detail similar
to that cf last year?was prepared
and in addition systematic use of
the gymnasium floor outlined.
"With the change in the manage
ment of the building a controversy
seems to have boen created as to
the source of the school's authority
to use the building. Mr. Reck, J
chairman of the Board of Truestees, '
has requested that the school con- '
fine its use of the building to the '
tank and dressing rooms until such
time as the trustees may meet and ,
adjust matters.
"Until that time the schedule for
the use of the tank alone will be '
carried out as published in The Em- .
plre yesterday."

struction is essential to car owners and

bow to do it. (
