FATHER DUNCAN
TO BE OUSTED
Old Priest on Alaskan Island Has
Become Entirely Too Indepen-
dent

WASHINGTON Sept. 7-One of the
incidental reasons for Secretary of
the Interior Fishers present trip to
Alaska is to oust Father Duncan from
his stronghold on Mathlakahtla Island
Father Duncan Is a priest who has
been in Alaska ever since man can
remember and during most of that
time has been nominal chief Of the
Mathlakahtla Indians, on the island,
which was set aside for their use by
the government.
Under Father Duncan's guiding
hands, the Mathlakahtla Indians have
built up a community of more than
-dinary prosperity, possessing as 1t
does, a cannery, saw mill and var
ious other industries of considerable
size. Father Duncan, however, has
become little too Independent to
suit Uncle Sam, and for this reason
there has been an effort for long
while to dislodge him.
Agents, commissioners and all sorts
of representative of the government
have been dispatched to the island
to humor him into letting loose, but
to no avail However, he has finally
agreed to treat with the government
through an attorney whom he had re

Reason Why Rev. johnson Resigned
and Ran Away Has Been
Discovered at
Last.
BANK CLERKS LETTER
He Wrote to Minister After Pastors
Note to Girl Had Been Found
and This Caused
Flight.

CLARENCE, Mo, Sept. IA letter
written by the Rev H. Norwood John
son, to young woman of his con-
gregation and letter written to the
minister by Oscar Callison, bank
clerk, are now believed to have been
the cause of the pastors sudden with
drawl from the Southern Methodist
ministry and his departure from Clar-
ence.
God knows my SIM was the only
reply in Johnsons message to the
Methodist conference in session two
days ago at Columbia In letter to
Presiding Elder Lehnhoff at Macon,
he wrote: II have not been guilty of
immortality but of injudicious conduct
through correspondence"
1t became known today that Pastor
Johnson's letter wac written to a
young woman, who had shown mark.
! ed admiration for him and had been
frequent caller at his home. The
| letter was found by the woman's sis
! ter and was shown to Oscar Callison
an official of the church, who wrote
/ the minister a letter.
Callison denied that he included II
the letter a warning that the Rev
! Mr.. Johnson had better not return t.
Clarence He said the letter wal
written in friendly spirit and h
would welcome the pastor back.
4 The young woman has been enrar
tured with the pastors sermons ant
has shown great admiration for him
He is known to have written her
warning that her conduct toward hin
, might be misconstrued The minis
ters friends insist that his motive
were for the best.
Mr.. Johnson was about 46 year
old. He came to the Missouri con
ference from England fifteen year
ago, and has wife and son, the LAT
ter 16 years old.
The ministers who know him vel
. say Mr.. Johnson was very popula
in the Missouri towns where he ha
: lived; that he was an excellent mi
sician and was regarded as powe
