SEVERE EXPERIENCE IN
WILDERNESS OF ALASKA

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONsl
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-A few
days ago short, stalky man with a
quiet manner, skin Drowned by
much outdoor life, and the steady eye
of one used to looking across great
distances, came to Washington with
such small fuss that it was more than
a week before the reporters were
aware of his presence at all. He is
". It. Lopp, head of the government S
school system for EsquimauX. and q
man who has spent most of his life
since 1890 in Alaska, seldom "comin g
out" as he calls trip down to the
states.
Lopp was a Hoosier schoolmastel
in Indiana, a boy just out of college,
when the government sent him and
another young man up to Cape Prince
of Wales on Behring strait, to start
an Esquimaux school. He expected to
remain but two years.
When he went up he and his part
ner were the only white men living
alone into a district where the ma
tives were so dreaded that whalers
would not put into port even for ha
ven in storm.
Since that time Lopp has seen the
gold rushes go past him Che himselt
got the gold fever only once), he has
travelled up and down and crisscross
Alaska on foot, mushing with dogs
or driving reindeer, from Point Bar
row, northernmost pinnacle of the
| continent, down to the Alaskan pc
ninsula in the warm Japan stream
and eastward to the Canadian bound
ary
Before white men came he has
known what it is to be driving eX-
hausted dogs in the bitter cold of in
| terror Alaska with the food dwindling
he has heen in an EsquimauX hunting
boat scuttled by the tusks of an ii
| furiated walrus; he has fearlessly car
ried law into rough, lawlesS winter
whaling stations in the Arctic ocean:
! he has faced death in score of forms
But of all these he will say nothing
He prefers to talk about the govern
ment's Alaska reindeer herd, Of which
he was the creator, and is the present
administrative head
deer from Siberia that first year We
were at Cape Prince OF Wales" he
said. The country then had q bad
reputation. But after we had learned
a little more Of the EsquimauX Ian
guage we discovered that most of the
trouble between EsquimauX and the
whites resulted from i'll treatment OF
the natives. We found them kindly
good natured people, with more ma
tive intelligence than Indians have
and eager to learn the white man S
ways. Their chief faults were drunk
enness and tendency to steal what
ever they could.
1--WE had some trouble with them at
first, but we insisted on having our
way. When they saw we were abso-
lutely just and fair with them, their
attitude changed We taught them
that stealing and drinking were wrong,
and they listened to us. Today it would
be hard to find more honest people
than the EsquimauX living from Cape
Prince of Wales nOrthward, and drunk
enness is almost unknown
Also they are the most advanced of

MONETARY COMMISSIONS
PLANS ARE COMPLETED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The none
tary commissions plan for national
recerve association when it goes to
congress on Tuesday will provide for
an organization so constituted that the
financial institutions of New York
would control less than 10 per cent Of
the total representation in the central
association, although they possess full
ly 80 per cent of the banking capital.
This will be done to guard against
So called Wall street control of the
proposed institution, which would
largely supplant the United States
treasury and perform the functions of
a national financial agent.
The south, with about 10 per cent of
the banking resources of the country,
would control 90 per cent of the repre-
sentation in the reserve association.
New England, with II per cent of
the banking capital, would have per
cent the middle west, with 25 per cent
of the banking capital, 80 per cent.
The far western and Pacific states
with about 13 per cent OF the banking
capital, approximately 25 per cent
By prescribing such a method of or
ganization, it is expected to remove
completely the possibility of control of
the reserve association by any single
group of men.
Fifteen branch associations are pro-
yided for-one in New England, two
in the eastern states, four in the south,
four in the middle west and four in the
far west. To control the reserve aSso-
citation it would be necessary to control
a majority of the branches. This is
considered impossible.
1t has been proposed that ownership
of bank stocks by other banks be pro-
hibited and that any bank that is a
member Of the reserve association be
forbidden to own stock in another
bank. 1t also has been proposed that
when bank acquires stock control in
another bank, it be prohibited from
voting that stock in the main organiza-
ton.
Much study on the part of the COM
mission has failed to suggest any pro-
vision that would be impossible of
evasion, but if any workable plan of
defeating interholdings of stocks can
be devised, it will find a place in the
commissions report.

BAL LT|M0RE LEADS RACE FOR
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-When the
Democratic national committee con-
vened here at noon today, the contest
for the big convention Which will NOM
mate the party's candidate for presi-
dent was still anybody's race, with
seven entries. Baltimore is the ia
vorite, but the Maryland metropolis is
by no means sure of capturing the
prize. st. Louis is second choice with
the political dopesters, while Chicago
is generally considered to be third.
New York, San Francisco, Buffalo and
Denver are also among the starters.
Lew York has made a strong bid with
III the last month and is favored by
many of the eastern Democrats, who
believe that the holding of the nation
al convention in the metropolis would
Lave its effect on the result of the
election in the Empire state.
Baltimore was the first applicant
for the meeting and has apparently
retained its lead. st. Louis was ia
vorite for a time, but found it impos-
sible to overcome the lead gained by
the monumental city. Chicago is al
ways a favorite convention city, but
having captured the Republican con-
vention has not shown any great vigor
in its contest for the Democratic con-
clave. San Francisco is ambitious
enough, but it's distance from the cen,
ter of population has about put an
end to it's chances. Buffalo, as the
home city of National Chairman Nor
man E. Mack, has that much in its
favor but not much else Denver
boomers have made a loud noise, but
many believe that the Colorado capi-
tai is not big enough to entertain sc
big gathering as is anticipated this

CUT OUT SOUTHPAW.
There's New Name for the Left
Handed Pitcher.

Nix on that southpaw stuff. Bo. It's
bromide, says st. Louis exchange. So
also are port-side. left-winder, heart-find-
er and other expressions used to denote
one who pitches the cold slaw into the
molar pit with the south fork. II you
hold your knife in the left mitt you are
an Ehud, in up-to-date parlance.
Where do we get this? We have 1t
straight from a New York dispatch which
told OF how a society of these Ehuds was
organized there and that about the only
distinguished one missing was RUDE Mar
guard. Anybody who is lelt-handed in
any particular except his morals Is
eligible to be a member Of the Society
Of Ehutls.
The Ehuds are historical-in fact, subcar-
boniferous. They back up intimately into
the time Of the Moabites, when a gentle
man named Mr.. Eglon was king out that
away.
It seems Eglen wanted to be reelected
and had the national committee with him.
The cost Of living was terribly high out
there many well-to-do persons having to
forgo their Joy carts on account Of the
high cost of beef
They couldn't get oxen to chauf around
behind, you see.
All this was blamed on Eglon, and hav-
ing the committee with him the people
figured he could just naturally count out
any Of the popular candidates and con-
tinue to boost for the Interests"

of the American team take the field, but
at the sight of one. the running high jump.
they will probably sit back in amaze
ment when they note the proficiency of
Uncle Sans nominees. OF the dozen
men who have been named there isn't
one who hasn't cleared feet inches.
and from that height the performances Of
the men ascend to 8 feet 81 inches. this
marvellous jump having been made by
George HORNE of Stanford University and
the Olympic Club, San Francisco.
AS a matter of fact, taking the best
Jumps of twelve men who will display
their abilities to the possible wonderment
of most Of the athletes Of forty nations,
it becomes noticeable that they aggregate
80 feet 3S inches, or an average or o
feet 3 1-3 inches.
IL can be said without fear of contra
dtction that the best men In this game
OF all of the two score nations arrayed as
one team, who will be comparatively en-
gagged at the games, would not muster
strength enough to compete against our
men at this particular game.

| In other words. most jumpers clear the
bar legs first from straight approaches. or
