Attorney General Says Conditions Do Not Gall for lnves-
 tigation

When Attorney General Wick crsham recently reported to con gross that the American Snrlt- ing x Refining Co. had been in- vcstigatcd by the government and found not to call for any action upon the part of the adminiStra- ton, the matter of conducting an inquisiiiOn by members of the house of representatives, in re- sponsc tO the resolution of Con- gressman Cartin, of Colorado, was apparently dropped.
 The Colorado legislator, how ever, is somewhat restive upon the subject, and announces his intention of insisting upon action by the lower house. The Dcm- Oc- atic majority in that body is eNpcnding a great deal of energy in an inquisitOrial way just now; several trusts" arc being put upon the rack, and why not the smelLcr trust? As We remarked before in referring tO this 1ucs- ton. a great many persons will probably not rest content until the subject is aired by a legis- lativc cOmmitirr. This being the case, II might be source of re- lief tO bring il io d head.

MURDERED MEN'S
 BODIES FOUND Nelson Brothers Were Murdered on Island in the kusko-
 kWim

That Deputy Marshal krlday has been successful in his search for the bodies of the two Nelson brDtherS, who were supposedly murdered in the KuskOkwim country year ago. is inc report brought to Iditarod City by Jim mic Eagle, the well known sour dough, who has just arrived from Nushagak, says Iditarod Pioneer. Eagle says kelday found the two bodies buried on a lonely is- land in the KuskOkvim below IlllukSak, where they apparently had been srcreted by their slayer. Eagle says also that there is lit tie doubt as to the identity of the man who made away with the Nclsnns, all of the kuskokwim people being agreed that Camp bell is the guilty party.
 The description of Campbell agrees in detail with that of Crane, the man Wada suspects of killing his fellow countryman and two white men in 1910. and there are a number here who believe with Wada. that the two men are | on" and inc same.
 Tie government has allowed $500 [" conduct the Nelson in- v"Siigaiinn.

 Ilollan, who has been in the kuSknkwim for the past five years. says that several mySlrr- inus disappraranccs have occur r"h in that region. with no al tempt on the part of the officials to investigate the cause. Seven years ago Chris Fredanhal was murdered, and GOO martrn skins were stolen from his camp. His partner. lIobSon, is suspected of this crime, but no attempt has been made to fix the responsible ity. HobsOn said Frcdcnhal Was drowned, but the story he ;Old sounded "iishy" iO old-tiIncrs. | Three years ago Jap was killed and some 10 martcn skins and a considerable sum of money which he carried on his person wrr" stolen.
