 Dear Sir
 l am much surprised to find in your number of December 29th your note about the missionaries in Alaska. You claim that they are accused of graft ing off of the poor ignorant Indian, under the shield of religion" And you answer that they are not the "only ones." You cannot see that they have caused to Alaska more

PRIEST MAKES FULL CONFESSION,
 ASSERTS POLICE SLEUTES.


 Early today, according to parishion- CTS of the church. Schmidt said to the Rev. Father Hutmann, rector of St Joseph's church. that he would hear no more confessions, and when asked for his reason, said:
 T have something of importance to tell you" With his superior Schmidt then retired to the study, where the latter told all that had transpired in the Bradhurst avenue flat, where his alleged confession to the police says he murdered the girl. Father Huntmann conferred with his other assistants, and it was agreed that the authorities should be noti- fled. The police. however. even then were on Schmidt's trail. and his ar rest followed shortly
 Schmidt was taken to the Tombs. According to the police. he made a full confession. after which he was taken before Coroner Weinberg, who committed him to the Tombs until the inquest is held. The confession, which the police say Schmidt signed. follows:
 "I met Anna Aumuller two years ago at the parish house of St. Bon- face church. She was employed as a servant there I was attracted by her beauty. l became infatuated with her. l loved her.
 "I killed her because l loved her SO much. She was so beautiful. so good. so kind. I could not let her li-e without me.
 T had made up my mind that she and l could not live together. I was . priest and must remain with my church. I could not let her go

GAYLY-CoLORED PILLOW PROVES LINK IN CHAIN LEADING TO
 ARREST.

A Gayly-Colorcd pillow of unusual pattern led to Schmidts apprehension. The pillow, stained with blood anl soiled with the filth of the river was wrapped around a portion of the torso. The detectives traced the pill low to it's manufacturer: the manu- facturtr traced it to the dealer; the dealer traced it to Schmidt. And then the police, tracing schmidt and the girl, knew all about both of them hours before they arrested him
 Schmidt was arrested by Inspector Faurot, in charge of the detective bureau. The priest was dressed in full clerical sarb when the detective entered the rooms in the parish house of his church in West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. The inspec- tor had produced photograph of Miss Aumuller and asked Schmidt if Ee knew the girl.
 The priest, after a moment of hesi- tation, inquired whether his visitors were police officers. His action indi- cated that he was expecting arrest. He then asked permission to change his clothes and it was when he left the room that Inspector Faurot de clared he attempted to cut his throat with small safety razor blade.

Word comes from Lawrence that
football at Haskell may never again be
what it was in the old days of the
lations in force at the school that would
make it impossible for such players to
remain on the team as long as the old
stars did. And the authorities of the
school are said to be considering other
regulations that may still cut down the
time limit of the players.
A Lawrence paper states that the In
dams played several teams out OF their
class this season. and that they really
belong among the secondary colleges
and smaller schools of the country.
This may be true. But it is equally
true that many friends OF the school
would rather see them stay up in the
present class and lose a few games than
to drop to a place where every contest
would be a cinch.
There is no question but that a team
accomplishes more and does better
work when it takes every effort to WIN
This is one of the strongest reasons
why Washburn should make an effort

Two Boys, 10 Years Old, Robbed Main
Street Drug Store Here
Last Tuesday
Night.
CONFESSED TO KINNEY
Boy Confronted With Evidence by
Chief Of Police Admits Guilt
Other Boy
Escaped.

That he and his partner, Ray
Clancy, broke into the McGrath broth
ers' drug store at the corner Of Fifth
and Main street Tuesday night, and
robbed the cash registers, was the
confession made today by Roy Fraz-
Ter, 1s year old Madison, Indiana, boy.
who was recently paroled after hav-
ing confessed to the robbery OF the
Spicer jewelry store. Although he
has refused to admit 1t, it is believed
that the two boys are the ones who
entered the residences Of G. r. Joy,
DR.. B. L. Gilfllan and several other
residences recently.
The robbery Of the McGrath store
was reported to the police yesterday
morning. The clerk who opens the
store In the morning discovered when
he arrived that morning that the place
had been entered as the front doors,
one Of which is fastened by bolts at
the top and bottom, were not locked.
"A further investigation showed that
the cash register drawers were open
and that about $50 pennies and sew.
eral dollars in silver were missing.
Mr.. McGrath reported the matter to
the police at once. and 1t was found
that the man who had entered the
store had climbed over the transom to
gain entrance to the place and had
gone out through the door, which he
had left unlocked.
