POINDEXTER IS |
SUGGESTED FOR
FALL’S POSITION
Strong Support Being Lined
Up for Him as Secretary
of the Interior.
—
That Senator Miles Poindexter, of:
Washington, will be urged as the
logical man to succeed Secretary A
B. Fall as head of the Department of
the Interior, is indicated by advice
received in Juneau today from re ;
liable sources in Seattle. The mova-i
meat to secure his appointment isj
said to have been launched quietly
several days ago by his friends o:t j
the Pacific Coast.
Promises of support are said to
have been obtained from virtually
all of the commercial clubs, cham
bers of commerce, and other busi
ness men’s organizations throughout!
the Northwest and from many other!
sources on the entire Pacific Coast
and in the Western states. Those
■who are in charge of the campaign
to have Poindexter succeed Secre
tary Fall are confident that he will
have the support of the entire West-,
ern and Pacific Coast delegations to
Congress.
It is expected that the support of I
Alaskans generally will be solicited '
for the Washington Senator, whose!
term expires on March 4, at the!
time Secretary Fall’s resignation be
comes effective. Poindexter was a
candidate for re-election on the Re- •
publican ticket and was defeated by
C. C. Dill. Democratic candidate, in
a very close contest.

While Miss Dorothy Knapp,
winner of tlie Venus contest in a ]
New York exhibition, is being |
sued by Miss Anna Hyatt, loser, 1
who claims: she lias a figure more i
approximately that cf Venus, Miss ,
Heltnar Liederman, who was "Miss
Alaska” in tlie Atlantic City
Beauty Pageant, offers to bet the
$200 site wen in another beauty
contest that she is more like the
"armies s lady " than either of the
two New York girls.
Miss ICelmar Liederman wants to
be the authorized representative of
Juneau, as "Miss Alaska," in all con
tests for beauty she may enter. Her
brother makes this request in a let
ter received by the Sporting Editor
of The Empire and unless there is .
some objection raised, it is perfectly
agreeable to the S. K. Miss Lieder
man’s brother is Earle Liederman,
director of physical education, at 3or>
Broadway, New York.
The letter received by the Sporting:
Editor from Liederman Is as follows:
"Last June, while en route to At
lantie City from Juneau, where 1
made a short stay after a sight see
ing trip to the coast, accompanied,
by my sister, Miss Heltnar Lieder
man, I decided to enter Miss Lieder
man in the Atlantic City Bathing
Beauty contest, which was to take:
place during the week of September!
fi, and 1 was then prompted to adopt j
Alaska as tin place she would rep-1
rasent in the pageant. She accord i
Ingly was entered as ‘Miss Alaska.' !
"In spite of the great fame and j
popularity which she attained us;
‘Miss Alaska,’ being perhaps the]
most favored by ail the spectators,'
she was not awarded a prize. Later,
Miss Liederman was entered at the
Physical Culture show at Madison j
Square Garden, which was held dur j
ing the week of October 22, piso as'
‘Miss Alaska,’ and she was awarded]
second prize.
“My object in writing this letter
to you is to state that both Miss
Liederman and myself would deem
;it a groat favor if you would kindly
grant her your authority to enter
all such future contests as the au
thorized representative of Juneau,
\laska. as '.Miss Alaska.’
"1 might also add that such ar
, rangement would prove of influential
benefit to you in the way of ex
i tensive advertising and popularity,
without expense, for such contests
I and their outcome receive write-ups
in both newspapers and magazines,
and ‘Miss Alaska' will no doubt make
a good showing if not better, in fu
ture contests as in the last."
