No one can call this muni6cent
payment,for one year of a mans

because he is going back-to his
wife and two little children.
Over one year ago, a New York
girl, advertising gor work, re-
ceived an obscene letter making
an appointment. The ubiquitous
Anthony Comstock kept the ap-
pointment for her. The letter
writer did not.
But Kreuger had the bad luck
to, be standing near the rendez-
vous, and Comstock had him ar
rested. Handwriting experts
swore to the similarity of Kreu-
gers writing to that in the letter.
He was convicted, and sentenced
Feb. 2, 1911, to 18 months in
prison:
Later, 1eisurely department of
justice officials discovered that
there really was great difference
between Kreuger's writing and
that of the obscene letter.
The matter was taken up with
President Taft. Which is how
Kreuger came to get the parch-

signed by the chief executive of

MISSIONARY PRELAIE
DISCLOSES REVOLVING
ALASKAN CONDITIONS

Bureau of Bismarck Tribune, 1426

O~~>~ >~Ao~~~~H0
New York Ave.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-That the
Indians and the Esquimaux in Alaska
are fast dying out is the experience
of Bishop Rowe of the Protestant
Episcopal church, who has spent the
last sixteen years in that far-off froz.
, en- region, and to which he is now re-
turning to resume his self-sacrificing
missionary labors. Tuberculosis is
carrying off SO per cent of them, eye
disorders are common, and total
blindness is rather frequently the re-
suit of cases where there is no posi-
bility of the sufferers getting medical
treatment. Of late foul disease,
closely resembling in it's fearful symp-
toms the leprosy, that dread of the
orient. has also made it's appearance
And these frightful conditions are
made worse by white traders who
cozen the Indians and the Esquimaux
by selling them raw whisky for their
furs, who overrun the land with game
traps that in a couple of years elm.
mate the game of that section, leaving
the natives without any means of sub.
sistence, and who also with their
scientifically devised fish traps and
seines exhaust the rivers and streams
Of the fish with which they once al
most sWarmed.
The foregoing are but a sorry few
Of the many ugly changes made be-
fore the senate committee on terrii-
tories, and brought out by the skill
full questioning Of its chairman, Sen.
ator William Allen Smitch of Mich
igan, who, like his colleagues, was
visibly shocked over the missionary
prelate's dispassionately-told story Of
his own personal experiences. Chi
nese and Japanese, he said, aided
much in spreading vice and immoral
ity, and in the distribution of whisky,
which is lending its powerful help to
complete the ruin of the two races.
He deprecated the governments
scheme of establishing schools in a
land where, instead of such institu-
tons. hospitals should be built and
maintained so as to save the entire
native population from destruction.
Medical men and medical supplies are
first needed. so as to bring back
healthy conditions, so as to make
both races more robust, so that, after
a couple of years spent at study in the
governmental schools they won't
crawl off somewhere and die of tu-
berculosis. Foul. unsanitary condi-
tions, filthy habits, improper food and
too often far from enough of food of
any sort, predispose the natives to
become easy victims of tuberculosis;
but recently. epidemics of influenza
have carried off whole villages and
the natives declare that the white
traders are responsible.
Instead of being able to buy such
Injuries as tea, coffee, sugar and
flour" said Bishop Rowe. ''the unfor-
tunate Indians and Esquimaux were

whatever; and they had but little to

ROMANS WERE
APPLE EATERS

Recent research, archaeological and
other, has revealed the fact that the
Romans were. an apple eating, people.
Certain pieces of, sculpture long ago

Grecian and Roman figures. in, the
act of raising something that looked
like apples to their mouths. but. the
impression has prevailed. among
scholars that these were pears, peheh-
es or oranges. Some have. gone So
far as to advance the theory that
they were lemons. Others still, bas-
ing their statements on the fact that
the ancient Romans played game
resembling modern tennis, have held
that the round objects so conspicu-
GUS in the plaster cast replicas of
some of our most advanced and
popular art museums are tennis balls.
Need we say that there is class Of
extremists which would 90 even
farther and claim that these round
objects are intended to represent the
league standard baseballs Of the an
cient world?
This whole matter appears now,
however, to be cleared up by the an
nouncements from eminent scholars
to the effect that the round objects
represent apples. This theory is
strengthened by the uncoverinr in
ancient Roman ruins OF pairing knives
and the remnants Of cider mills, and
by "unmistakable evidences in the
pavements Of Rome, Pompeii and
Herculaneum. A careful examination
Of dents along the different prom
enades can intimate nothing else in
