Fortunats PrrbrIofY islanders.

A curious and interesting people are
the Pribiloff Islanders in Boring sea.
When the United States government
took over the islands, along with
Alaska, the Russian colonists became
in measure wards OF the nation. but
they have remained true to the infiu-
ence to which they were first sub
jected, and in some respects are to-
day more Russian than American at
heart. All Of them are members OF
the Russian church, and all OF them
have Russian names, selected for the
most part from among the nobility.
The United States government has In
this instance been q faithful guardian
OF a primitive people. The result Is
that today they are the most highly
civilized, best clothed, best fed. and
most healthy Of all the natives OF
Alaska.

CONFESSES TO MURDER
Of TWO DETROIT GIRLS
Laborer Also Admits Respon-
sibiIity for Other Attacks
in Recent Months.

DETROIT. October 3.-If the story
which George Brown Spengler told last
night proves to be true. the mystery of
crime which has puzzled Detroit po-
lice and detectives for nearly three years
has been cleared up.
Spengler. a laborer. thirty years old.
was arrested in connection with the MUIR
der Of twelve-year-old Matilda Refs,
whose mutilated body was found in an
alley near her home last Tuesday night.
He confessed not only to having attacked
and killed this child, but told the police
he also attacked and murdered Helen
Brown. eleven years old. whose body
was found in a coal yard on Decembe.
12. 1909.
Four Others Attacked.
Four other girls have been attacka
in Detroit in the last thirteen months
one Of them being permanently injured
and the others less seriously hurt. Speng-
Ter admits responsibility for two of these
offenses. In each case the child was at
tackled as she lay asleep in her parents
home.
For more than a year a succession OF
attacks on women and girls has mysti-
fed local police officials. Women have
dark alleys. With Spengler's confession
1t was at first thought the mysterious
''prowler'' had been discovered, but early
today city detectives stated their belief
that Spengler was not the perpetrator Of
those outrages.

LIGHTHOUSE DISTRICTS
ON PACIFIC INSPECTED
Commissioner Putnam Re-
turns Home Pleased With
What He Saw on Trip.

The commissioner of lighthouses.
George r. Putnam. returned today from
the Pacific coast, after visiting the head
quarters of five of the lighthouse dis
tricts. The lighting of the main Alaska
channel to Skagway was inspected, as
well as the proposed site for a lighthouse
depot for Alaska at Ketchikan. General
satisfaction was found among marine
men with the manner in which this chan
mel is now lighted by the United States.
the commissioner says, the flashing gas
lights being effective as well as econom-
fcal.
The number of lights in Alaska has
been increased from thirty-seven to nine
ty-one in the last two years. Additional
lights and fog signals. however. are
needed elsewhere in Alaska, as well as
additional facilities for caring for the
aids to navigation in the way of light
house tenders and supply depots, and es-
Inmates will be submitted to Congress.
Mr.. Putnam had opportunity to confer
with the Canadian lighthouse authorities
at Victoria and at Prince Rupert.
About half of the channel between
Seattle and Skagway Is in British Colum-
bian waters. Prince ltupert was found
to be thriving young seaport. the ter
minus Of the Grand Trunk Pacific rail-
way, which already is in operation some
distance inland. 1t is predicted that this
new transcontinental railway will be
open by 1915.
Saw Exposition Site.
The port is just south of the Alaska
boundary. SO the opening of this railway
Is likely to materially affect communica-
ton with that territory. From Portland
Mr.. Putnam examined the lights and
other aids on the lower Columbia river,
and also went out to the end of the jetty
built by United States engineers at the
mouth of the Columbia. This sjetty ex-
tends seven miles into the Pacific. and is
the most difficult and extensive engineer
ing work of its class. The south jet u will
be completed next season, and 1t Will be
necessary to mark its end either by a
lighted buoy or lighthouse.
At San Francisco Mr.. Putnam conferred
with the authorities of the Panama ex-
position, and was shown the splendid site
selected and now in active preparation.
This site extends for about three miles
along the north water front Of the city
facing the Golden Gate, and is believed
to excel in nobleness of situation that of
any previous exposition. The lighthouse
at Fort Point. a locality of great scenic
as we'll as historic interest, is close to the
western limit Of the exposition grounds

Parker Made Permanent Chairman.

1t was after 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon when the convention was called to
order. A roll call was taken on the Sc
lection of Judge Alton B. Parker for per-
manent chairman. and he was declared
elected.
Judge Parker took the opportunity af-
forded by his speech as permanent chair
man to answer his critics at the Baiti-
more convention. 1t was the first political
speech the former presidential candidate
had made since he was the storm certer
of the battle waged at Baltimore by Will
liam j. Bryan against his selection as
temporary chairman of that gathering.
Judge Parker's defense was called forth
by the opposition to his candidacy for the
permanent Craftsmanship expressed by
Delefate Frank H. Mott of Jamestown
and Mayor John X. Sague of Poughkeep.
sic, who dtclared Judge Parker to be re-
dictionary. He was chosen chairman.
however, by vote of 412 to 30, most or
the opposing votes being cast by those
delegates identified with the organized
movements against Charles F. Murphy
and Tammany Hall.
Parker Defends His Course.
The first words Of Judge Parkers
speech We're: II am a progressive demo-
crat.''
Judge Parker said the action Of tha
New York delegates at Baltimore was
dictated by the desire to promote har.
mony. You may ask me-" he said.
why did the New York delegation, with
ninety men, at least twenty-five oe
platform, fail to discuss the attack which
was made indirectly and directly upon tho
delegates and upon myself-why did they
keep silent? Because We believed 1t was
better that we should suffere a little in
dignity than by entering into a disput0
with the gentleman upon the platform
(Mr Bryan) and dividing that convention
in two; and we held our peace.
I'VE held our peace for the good OK
democracy; We held our peace. believing
that either Clark or Wilson would be
and We determined that New
York state should take no part in that

gether. to elect whichever one of them
should be the nominee Of the party"

The platform ratifies the democratic
national platform. pledges its support to
Wilson and Marshall and condemns what
1t styles as the "monopolistic tariff evils
Of the republican party.
Gov. Dix's administration is described
as efficient. clean and economical"
The platform pledges the legislature to
provide for a constitutional convention to
pass on the initiative, the referendum
and the short ballot. and declares in IA
