The entire native population of
Alaska will be exterminated In the
course OF sixty TO seventy years, by
tuberculosis. unless the disease Ia eradi-
Gated az once
This Is the report made to the Bureau
Of Education by DR.. Emil Krulish, of
the Public Health Service, who has
just returned from a seven months trip
of Investigation in Alaska.
'1 am Of the opinion" says DR.. Kru-
lish, that is per cent Of the entire pop
ulation is infected with tuberculosis in
either the active Or the latent stage.
With the advent of the white man into
the territory the native has contracted
his diseases, with the result that tuber-
culosis and other diseases are degen-
Grating and depopulating the race"
DR.. Krulish was sent TO Alaska on
special detail to examine the physical
condition OF the natives. He found the
home conditions responsible for much
misery.ss while In some cases native
houses compared favorabiy with those
of white people, Dr. Krulish says that
In the crowded unventilated rooms of
most of the villages all eat from the

TO TAFT
IN BUTTER FEUD
congressman, Aroused at Ca
bells Ruling, Want Opinion
From the Attorney General.

Having severed all diplomatic rela-
tions with Revenue Commissioner Ca
bell, Congressman Volstead and Ham,
mond, of Minnesota. and representa-
tives Of other Western States have ask
ed President Taft to direct the Attorney
General to prepare an opinion in which
the right of Commissioner Cabell to
make arbitrary regulations regarding
adulterated butter shall be plainly de-
fined.
Cabell and the Congressman have so
long disputed the point at issue, which
affects thousands of small dsiries, that
the revenue commissioner has refused
to listen to them any longer, and insists
that II they have any further communi-
cation to make they must make 1t in
writing. Angered at this rather un-
usual position, the Congressman went
to President Taft.
Butter containing more than 16 per
cent moisture is considered adulterated.
This is a regulation made by Commits
sioner Cabell, and Is not statute. The
Congressman contend that the percent
age OF butter fat is really what deter
mines whether butter Is adulterated or
not. They insist that Cabell has over
stepped his authority In making the
regulations.

NO ARRESTS UNTIL
PUBLIC GETS RULES,
JUDGE PUGH HOLDS
Declares Prosecution Before
New Traffic Laws Are Pub
lie Would Be Unfair.

No new orders will be issued to the
members of the police force regarding
the enforcement of the traffic regula-
tions, because of the ruling Of Judge
Pugh In the Police Court yesterday. The
judge held that there could be no prose-
cutions until official copies of the new
regulations had been printed and dis
tributed, so that the public, as well as
the court, would know the text of the
regulations
Major Sylvester said this morning
that the courts action had not been
brought to his attention in a formal
way, and IL there were any new orders
regarding the regulations they would
come from the Commissioners.
In Instructions sent to the captains of
the various police precincts several days
ago. Major Sylvester pointed out that
no rigid enforcement OF the regulations
should be attempted until they had been
published and the public given an OPP
portunity to become familiar with them.
1t was ordered, however, that persistent
violations Of the new regulations after
warning had been given, as we'll as the
old traffic laws, should be followed by
arrest.
Members Of the force say that they
have no way OF knowing what all the
regulations are and contend that they
cannot attempt to enforce or even In
struct the public intelligently until
they have been furnished with copies
Of them.
1t was said that 25,o00 copies Of the
regulations. would probably be ready
for distribution at the District build
ing tomorrow. Commissioner Johnston
went over the final proof yesterday and
the printers are being hurried to get
the booklets out as soon as possible.
While the regulations are rather
voluminous, the sections in which the
public generally. and drivers Of motor
and horse-drawn vehicles in particular
are interested. consists Of about 1.60
words.

The jury in the Sawyer assault

was standing in wagon beside a
water barrel when Goodale, the
plaintiff. with whom he had had

Sawyer thought he was going TO
attack him. and in swinging the
barrel around TO put it between him
and Plaintiff Goodale the latter was
struck on the head or face by the
