pears that Il person has been convicted of

/ a subsequent offense, and such person
/ shall be subject to further prosecution

Secretary Bailey supplements this by
saying that he would appreciate receiving
the report of any convictions, so that if

Lawlessness Following War.

If the men who are responsible for
the style of writing news stories
for Vermont newspapers will give the
subject a little thoughtful oonsidera
ton they might perhaps arrive at the
conclusion that they are blamable, in
a small measure, for u certain kind OF
crimes, the bur9laries committed by
young boys. Recently 1O-year-old
boy living in Elmore was proved 10

Der Of breaks IN the night and was
sentenced to the industrial school at
Vergennes. In reading the account OF
the lad s arrest and punishment
as it appeared III the Vermont papers
one could not fail to be impressed with
the fact that the story was
written with view to bringing out
the daring nerve of the culprit in
stead of putting the stress upon the
enormity of the offences. Readers of
mature years are capable of sitting
news of this nature, but to the youth
with hayward tendencies it is apt TO
act as a stimulus to that spirit OF
bravado which is inherent in many
q virile youngster and do irreparable
harm. Reduced to the final analysis
the mental and physical characteristics
which prompt a night thief to dare
death from a Waterman s bullet and
which enables an officer of the law to
risk his life in the performance Of his
duty are much alike. Circumstances
and environment might put the two in
reverse positions, and it is because OF
this fact that writers of news par
ticularly are under an obligatiin not
to convey wrong impressions to those
who have only reached the impression

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-The officials of the Alaska Steamship company have announced that. negotiations which have been under way for some time have been closed for the pur- chase of two big steel freighters to be used in the Southwestern Alaska trade. The steamers are the Ben- nington and the Burlington and they have been operating on the Atlantic coast.
 The company has sent officers east to bring the steamers around the cape, cargoes having been secured for the vessels for delivery at San Fran cisco and Puget Sound ports. The ships are reported to be specially equipped for handling shipments of heavy railroad material as they have been used in the Atlantic in carrying material south for the Panama canal.
 The loss of the freighter Edith has proved serious handicap to the com pany in handling it's rapidly develop ing trade in the north, especially to the westward and in bringing the ores of Alaska coast mines to the shelter at Tacoma It is announced that the freighters will be given a overhauling after their ar rival at Puget Sound and will then he Dlaced in commission.

Ambassador Morgenthau, at Constan- &inOple, Instructed to Ascertain
 if Any Americans Killed.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.- Ambassador Morgenthau, United States representative at Constantino- ple, has been instructed by the State Department to ascertain if any of the victims of the Turkish and Kurd sol dieFs in the Armenian massacres were Americans. It is feared that a number of American missionaries whk, have failed to report, have fall eH victims in the outrages. It is as- serted on the authority of mission aries who escaped from the Turks, that 50O,O00 Armenians were put to death by Turkish soldiers.
 Ambassador Bernstorff, German representative at Washington, ex- presses the belief that the reports of outrages against Armenians in the Ottoman Empire are pure inventions and inspired with view of embar- 1assing the Turkish government by Involving it in controversy with the United States.

WILLOW CREEK MINE
 IS A BIG PRODUCER.

Two hundred ounces of gold in five days with only ten men and mis- erably small plant is the splendid rec ord of the Independence mine of Will low creek last week. L. s. Robe, the well known engineer who is in charge of the mine, telephoned T. w. Haw- kins yesterday to tell him of the re- suit of the few days work and to in- form him that the mine is now richer by far than it ever was before. Two hundred ounces will be shipped on the next boat to the Bank of Seward. Robe declares the property is looking better all the time. A new lead has been struck which beats anything for merly discovered there and from all accounts the Independence, like other mines in the neighborhood, is sure of being splendid producer from this time forward.-Seward Gateway.
