The Fairbanks News Miner of May 15 gives the following account of the sen tencing of George Smith to the federal pen itentary at McNels island. Smith re- sided in this city in 1910-11, and during that period was before the local courts on several occasions:
 George Smith, convicted of robbing Ken meth Mcclellan on the row at Chatanlka last August, in collision with Betty Smith and William Clark, was sentenced by Judge Bunnell this morning to serve twelve years in the federal penItentlary on McNelHs island Clark received five years because of the jury i'll his case recommending elem ency while Betty Smith turned states evI- dence and escaped the penalty.
 Smith is cool in his demeanor, but evl dently was not looking for such heavy sentence, for he was vislbly affected when the words finally came, and hastened to get out of the court room and back in the iall. The court room was crowded
 The court asked the usual question as to what he had to say before sentence was pronounced. Smith said, after some effort to get himself together for the ordeal that he had very little, simply that he was not guilty The court stated that he believed otherwise and that Smith had had every possible advantage given him of proving his innocence. Further, the court went on

SUITS TO BE INSTITUTED
 TO REIMBURSE DEPOSlTORS

On May 14, in the district court at Fairbanks, Judge Bunnell signed an order ] granting permission to Receiver F. c. Moves , to institute suit against w. H. Parsons and other stockholders of the Washington Alaska Bank of Washington to recover S25O,OOO accepted from the Fairbanks Banking Company for their stock, practl- cally effecting a sale of the former bank to the latter The deal was made in SePtem- ber 1909, the money being paid over by the Fairbanks Banking Company in cash within three days of the transfer of the stock.
 Permission is also granted to Receiver Moves to employ Attorney Fernand de Jour nel of Sen Francisco as attorney, according to the terms of a contract already tonta- lively entered into between them. Both are granted leave to go into the state or states where the stockholders reside and seek re lief from the courts there. A report every three months is to be made by the re ceiver as to the financial condition yl the defunct bank and the state of its legal affairs.
 The court denied the request to recover S15O,OOO in superadded liability claimed from these stockholders of the Washington Alaska Bank of Washington with leave, however to such party or parties who feel themselves aggrieved, to apply and by due process bring before the court all such mat ters and proofs as they may be advised to show the court.
 Thus the first steps were taken looking toward the recovery of money alleged to have been wrongfully taken from the cred itors of the old Fairbanks Banking Com pany, which later became the Washington Alaska Bank of Nevada If judgment for the s250000 can be obtained, interest may also be collected on that sum from Sep tember g. 1909, down to the date at the legal rate. This was figured in the receiver s petition to amount to sl20,OO0, or total of S370OOO collectible if the suits result successfully.
 The matter of the suit for the recovery of the superadded liability is apparently not vet satisfactory to the court, and further proofs will be required before permission will be granted.
 receiver is not named for the Wash ington-Alaska Bank of Washington, as re quested in the original petition of the court.
 Attorney de Journel will proceed to ac- ton now as rapidly as possible, because the statute of limitations will run shortly, expiring in September Suits must be started in the courts of King county, state ot Washington, notices must be published for period of several weeks, and there IS much other work to do to get the ma chinerv of the law into motion. A leading firm of Seattle attorneys will be associated with De Journel in handling the cases.

MRS. RAE B. CARTER
 DIVORCED FROM HUSBAND
Fairbanks News Miner, May 15,

Mrs Rae B. Garter has been granted an absolute divorce from her husband, Fred Carter. The decree was granted March 27.
 The grounds for the divorce were cruel and inhuman treatment, adultery, etc. It was not necessary for Mrs, Garter to intro duce half the testimony she had, the case being so plainly against the accused.
 There was fight over the valuable min ing interests Mrs. Garter owns at Ruby and on Flat creek, in the Iditarod district, and which she has leased to the Guggenheims She was ready to prove, however, that 1t was all hers-that her husband had dissi pated all his share in the property-a he was glad to settle for less than it would have cost her in attorneys fees to fight tc hold her property. Carter went Outside or the last stage as guard for prisoners, anc Mrs. Carter IS leaving soon for the lower country to look after her interests there.

MURDER AT FAIRBANKS
 MYSTERY TO OFFICIALS

The body of Mrs William C. Harp, known in the underworld of Fairbanks as Alice Astor, was found in her cabin on Fifth avenue in that city on April with the throat cut from ear to ear the gash being so deep that the head was half severed from the body. When the body was found it was thought to have been a case of sui eide, but within few minutes after arrlv- ing on the scene Chief of Police Frank Wiseman declared it clear case of murder, and later developments proved his state ment to be correct Who murdered the un- fortunate woman is not known, but both the municipal and federal authorities are working on the case, and while they will make no public statement, It IS sad that they have several persons under survell- lance.
 Just when the murder was committed IS not known, but as near as could be learned 1t took place some time between II o'clock at night and 3 80 o'clock the next morn ing. The motive for the crime Is not known, but indications are that it was for robbery.
 Mrs. William c. Harp's maiden name was Eugenie Russey, and she came to the United States from France thirteen years ago. About three years ago she was married to William C. Harp, at that time proprietor of the Golden Eagle hotel at Ester City, and went there to reside. year ago she and her husband separated, and she went to Fairbanks taking a house on the row.

HERMIT OF THE KOYUKUK
 LEFT A TIDY FORTUNE

From Panama an interesting item ot news was received yesterday regarding Fritz Block, the man who was found dead on the Koyukuk trail last month, says the Fair banks Times of April G. At first it was not known whether he had sufficient funds to pay burial expenses, but an appraisal of upwards of S4O0 in cash on his person and a bank book which showed that he had S17, ,92922.
 A letter received by the Times regarding Block was as follows:
 "FredericR Block, known as Fritz Block, who was found frozen to death on the port age between Indian creek and the koyukuk mail trail March 13, was a native of Ger many. He was born in Betschs, Germany, May p, 1864, came to America in 1888, and took out his naturalization papers at San Francisco in April, 1910
 When his body was found it had on it a belt in which the following articles were found: S4OO in gold dust and currency, a bank book and letters showing that he had on deposit on October z 1914, in the Ger man Savings & Loan Society, San Fran cisco sl7,92922, drawing interest; also some coins and paper money of Paraguay, South America; other papers showing that he had money on deposit in the defunct California Safe Deposit Company of San Francisco, from which he had received divi- dends from time to time. Papers found on his body show that he had property in Paraguay, and evidently had resided there for time before coming North.
 Block was miser in every sense of the word, say people from the Indian creek country, who had known him well for the past year. He would not buy food enough to properly nourish him, nor clothes suffi- cient to protect him in the severe weather He started from Indian creek February l9 for Panama, pushing heavy sled which he had made himself, and which was very crude affair. He was poorly clad and the weather then was extremely cold and stormy He travelled twelve miles over 8 heavy trail and then cached his sled anc almost all of his outfit and attempted to retrace his steps, perishing about half mile from his cabin. So far as known, Block had no relatives living"

RECORD CLEANUP REPORTED
 M THE: RUBY DISTRICT
(Ruby Record Citizen, May 22)


 The talk of the camp is the cleanup made last Tuesday by Dtz, Selch & Walker, on the Mascot association. The gold has not yet been weighed, but it is known to be not far short of $100,000, and several good judges who have seen it believe the value will be found to exceed that sum to an ap- preciable extent.
 A washtub was made receptacle for the gold, and after the tub had been loaded with all that could be conveniently moved by two men, several gold pans were required to accommodate the overs.
 This is believed to be the largest single cleanup ever made in Alaska, and for rich ness the dirt from which the gold was washed has scarcely been exceeded any where The gold is said to be very hand some Many hundred pieces range from S25O up, and many groteSque shapes are represented. Frank Goyne, who saw this remarkable collection of treasure, declares he inspected one thin piece an inch wide or more which bore the nearly exact out line of an aeroplane.
 The dump from which the cleanup was made was taken out last fall, work having closed down in early winter About two l thirds of the dump was run through the boxes. Of course the dirt was known to be rich, but it showed a good deal stronger than expected
 There is not sufficient water to admit oi further sluicing at present. so the boxes are being moved and reset, and ditch is being made ready for summer operations

CHILD SUICIDE IN GERMANY

That Germany is the worlds school master all agree that all its methods can be copied elsewhere does not follow In coun- tries where looser methods prevail there has been a disposition to look for defects in the German system, and the most obvious line of attack is to urge that German children have their individuality crushed by vigorous training The unfortunate increase of child suicide in Germany has also given an opening to critics of which advantage is taken by A. D. Maclaren in an article in the Contemporary Review, in which Prussia is compared to its disadvantage with Australia After showing how in Germany the individual is sacrificed to the state, he calls attention to the startling statistics of child suicide. In Prussia alone there were 1,221 cases in the twentythree years from 1883 to 1905, and since the latter date the rate has increased. These 1,221 cases were investigated by Professor Gutenberg, who at tributed 160 to heredity, 37S to fear of pun ishment, 5S to examinations and 300 to ob- scure causes. among which harsh treatment may be included. A few cases have been traced to love affairs, and dime novels arc dubiously held responsible for others
 
 schools have been sharply attacked as 8 con tributory cause. Some years ago Professor Paulsen called attention to the 'almost un- bearable burden placed on weaker shoul- ders" In 1912 Professor Gurlitt referred to three recent cases as ''having fallen a prey to a rigid school system" But per haps the schools are less to blame than parents, and parents, again, are victims of 8 system which attaches excessive impor- tance to success in school. Naturally par ents want their children to reach at least | average standing, but obviously that is not possible for all, if any are to rise above the average. A good standing carries many privileges, including exemption from more than years military service and certih- gate entitEng the bearer to enter the uni yersity. In short, the gateway to success lies through success in the schools, and thus the pressure of competition begins early in life. In comparison the boys of most coun- tries Mir Maclaren speaks for Australia loaf through their school days Springfield Republican.

Cause of the Suit

The libel suit was based on an attack made upon Barnes by Roosevelt in state ment the ex-President issued last summer indorsing the candidacy of Harvey Hlnman for governor of New York. In this state mcnt Mir Roosevelt said:
 Tn this campaign l have duty to the Progressives of the nation and a duty also to the state of New York In national poll ties insofar as 1 am able, shall endeavor to strive for the success of the principles embodied in the Progressive national plat form Therefore l shall oppose the policies of the present administration, which 1 re gard a. deeply injurious alike to the honor and the interest of the American people,
 But in this state the prime duty IS good citizens movement, united movement, to save the state from the bipartisan control of Messrs. Barnes and Murphy, precisely like the good citizens movement last year. when by union the city of New York was saved from the domination of Mr. Murphy. hope with all my heart that all independent citizens. whether Progre5slves, Republicans or Democrats in thelr national atfillatlon, will stand shoulder to shoulder for clean, non-partisan government in the state at large this fall.
 Among other assertions in Colonel Roose- veIts statement to which Barnes took ex- ception were the following:
 In New York there are two political machines, both dominated completely, one 4,y Barnes and one by Murphy. The state government is rotten throughout in almost all of its departments, This is directly due to the dominance of Murphy in politics and his sub bosses, acting through such entirely subseryient agents as Governor DiH and Governor Glynn, aided and abetted, when necessary, by William Barnes and Barnes sub bbOsses.
 Murphy and Barnes are of exactly the same moral and political type. Not one shadow of good comes of substituting one for the other in control of the government
 These bosses don't hold public office themselves, yet they really form an all powerful invisible government which is re- sponsiDle for the maladminlstration and cor ruption of the public offices of the state"

YEARS FOR GEORGE SMITH

to state that he believed that Clark had not been the principal offender, but that Smith evidently had been the leader in the crime He said that he had been unable to find single mitigating feature in his favor, although even at that he had not given him the limit which Is fifteen years. His talk to the defendant was very brief not a quarter as long as in the case of Clark.
 Attorney Stevens, appearing for the de- fendant, made no talk of any kind when called upon by the judge, but after Smith and Chief Deputy Miller had gotten out of the court room he suddenly called Smith back while he asked the court for time until October 15 in which to file bill of exceptions appealing the case. It was granted. Attorney Stevens stated also that no arrest of judgment would be asked for, which means that Smith doubtless will leave for the penitentiary at an early date to be gin serving his sentence. He was arrested last August, and has been in jail most of the time since then, in addition to which he will remain in jail, without any time al lowance on bis prison sentence, until he IS finally landed at the penitentIary.

MURDERER OF THE WILSON'S
 IS REFUSED A NEW TRIAL

Word was received in Fairbanks on March 27 by Attorney l.. R. Gillette, formerly as sstant United States attorney and also by District Attorney Roth, to the effect that the decision of the district court in the case of the United States vs. Joseph Campbell had been upheld by the circuit court of ap- peals
 Campbell was tried at Iditarod for the murder of the Nelson brothers, in the kus kokwim country At his trial the Jury brought in verdict of guilty, and the de fendant was sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary During the trial the defend snt was represented by E, Coke Hill while Henry Roden prosecuted the case for the government.
 Afterward an appeal was taken to the cir cult court of appeals, and Morton E. Stevens entered the case, while District Attorney Crossley and his assistant, L. R. Gillette, prepared the governments brief The de fendant asked for new trial on the ground of alleged errors of the trial judge.
 Campbell Is now in the federal peniten- tiary serving a life term, and it Is not eX- pected that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court of the United States
