LANE URGES ALASKAN BOARD
RidicuIes Governmental Red Tape in
the Territory, and Advises Creation
of Development Body.

Washington, June 1.-Secretary of
the Interior Lane ridicules Alaskan
governmental red tape in report just
made to the senate and house COM
mittees on territories, and strongly
urges that the territory be put in the
hands of a development board of three
members to have headquarters in
Alaska and be charged with every
thing having to do with natural re-
sources.
Bills in accord with Mr. Lanes rec
concentrations have been introduced
in both houses of congress.
ct is proposed and urged" says Mr..
Lane, that the board should take over
such authority now exercised by vari-
Gus departments and bureaus as may
be necessary to give it supervision
over practically the entire public do
main and all the natural resources of
Alaska, and control of such activities
as are closely related and essential to
the development of the physical re-
sources of the country. Beginning at
the shore line, the development board
should have complete control of all
government activities and interests
connected with the development of
industries and transportation and the
settling Of the country.
This should include the control Of
the water power, building and main
tenance of roads and trails, and op-
Grafton and rates of the railroads and
telegraph lines. 1t should include pro-
lection and control of game, fur-bear-
ing animals, public lands, mineral de-
posits, coal, oil, gas, hot springs, tim
Der lands and timber"
Secretary Lane also urges that this
board should take over the supervi-
sion of educational work among the
Indians and natives, the reindeer in
dustry. control of the surveyor gen.
erals office, and the supervision in
cooperation with the department of
agriculture Of agricultural experiments
and demonstration work in the terri
tory.

WINTERS ARE HELD
FATHER AND STEPMOTHER OF
MISSING CHILD ARRESTED.
Prosecutor and Detective File Com
plant and 1t Will Charge
Assault Plot.

Newcastle, Ind, June 1-Prosecut-
ing Attorney William R. Myers of Hen
ry county will file sworn complaint
before Judge Ed Jackson today charg-
ing William Cooper with a conspiracy
to commit assault and battery on the
person o6 Catherine Winters, the nine
year-old girl who disappeared from
Newcastle March 20, 1913.
Judge Jackson will be asked to call
a special grand jury to investigate the
charge, which is based on mysterious
evidence that private detective, Rob-
ert H. Abel, alias Ed Henderson, says
he has in his possession.
Newcastle town folk are hourly
growing more doubtful of Abel's claim.
To date he has produced as evidence
hair ribbon found in a hollow cement
brick. which formed the part of
three-foot high partition in the base
ment of the Winters home; a child's
sweater, found in a basket in the base
ment and blood-stained mans under
family cats bedding.
Abel, who is just out of his teens
and says his detective license was OBJ
tanned through the Louis Vein agency
of indianapolis, was first hired by Doc
tor Winters to aid in the search of the
missing girl Within the past month
he sought to collect money which he
claimed Winters owed him. Winters
referred him to Mayor ]. Leb Watkins,
head of a committee of three to handle
the fund Of $4,000 raised to aid in the
search for the missing child
Doctor Winters and his wife were
arrested on Saturday on the sworn
complaint of Prosecuting Attorney
Myers and Detective Abel, filed with
Mayor Watkins, who is a justice of the
peace and acts as police judge of the
town. They were bailed out by Scott
Robe, a wealthy farmer. The COM
plant was of the same form as that to
be filed with Judge Jackson today. The
hearing on the original complaint is
to be held before Mayor Watkins on
Tuesday morning.
Prosecuting Attorney Myers said:
eve are not ready to show our hand
yet Therefore we will dodge the
hearing Tuesday by asking Judge
Jackson in the circuit court to admit
the accused to bail pending the action
of a special grand jury.

Sunday afternoon and found death due

He lived for number of years near
Muscalonge during the mining days.
He was married and for a number of
years they lived at the above place.
Two daughters survive him, living

so he passed away alone. Although
outspoken in his thoughts, my i'm

CYNICISMS

The social climber is naturally look

An optimist is person who polishes
up the dark side of life.
Treat man like a dog and he will
naturally growl about it.
Many a woman has lost a good
friend by marrying him.
Many a man would rather climb up
ward than be on the level.
Too many people view life through
the wrong end of the telescope.
There is no hatred like that which
one man feels for another who has
grasped an opportunity he didn't see.
with more money than brains is that
he hasn't brains enough to know it.
We are apt to lose sight of the fact
that the man who sues for a girls
hand may live to sue for his freedom.
Nature is sometimes unkind. Many
a pate de foie gras appetite and milk
toast stomach are combined in the

Many a mans, religion is based on
the fact that a silver dollar will make

lection plate than SIS bill.
