scum Of Art is not easily accessible
from the West Side.

WEDDING PARTY
 AT AFOGNAK DROWNED

SEWARD, Feb. 23. - The launch Hattie, carrying a wedding party from Afognak to Kodiak island, fOundered in heavy storm which has been sweeping this section. and caused the loss of the entire party of four, who were on board. The dead are John Pajomen, Jesse Robins. Sarah Larson and Mrs. Orloff. Exact details of the tragedy cannot be secured, but it is thought to have occurred in the same storm which drove the steamer Pay Ioff on the rocks
 The gasboat Mate was owned by Chas. Pajoman, a merchant of Afog- nak, who also has the contract for carrying the mail between Kodiak and Afognak. She was a small boat, and it is believed that she must have been caught in a sudden storm, as Pajoman had spent years at Afognak. and was considered a careful navigator.
 Jess Robins, one of the persons who lost their lives. was in the employ of the federal government. and had been in charge of the hatchery near Afog naE.
 The body of Pajoman has been found on the beach and a search is being made for the others. Mill bay is about five miles from Kodiak

HUNS DECLARE THEY LOYAL
 CITIZENS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. - A com mittee of prominent naturalized citi- zens of the United States, whose birth place had been in Hungary. called on President Wilson today and assured him of their allegiance to the country of their adoption. explaining that the Hungarans of the country, whom they represented, had taken to heart the questions that had arisen in the public press and in the minds of many American citizens. concerning their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes The committee told the President that there were no more faithful body of citizens in the whole country than the mass of the naturalized Hungarians. who, familiar with the despotic con ditious prevailing in the land of their birth, only the more readily appreci- ated the liberties and freedom gained when they emigrated to this great country. Wilson replied at length to the committee. and told them that he never doubted for an instant the ale glance to the United States of the great proportion of foreign born Am erican citizens. The chief executive said that he recognized them as as loyal and faithful citizens of this re- public as any American who owed his allegiance to this country, as the country of his birth.

NUSHAGAK SCHOOL TEACHERS FIENDISH CRIME

Mrs. Mclean was dead. Later Mo Lean admitted to Rev, Kassevaroff that he had killed the woman. but at the inquest held here this morning. he declared that his wife was killed in a runaway of his dog team, the sled overturning, he asserted, and dragging her body for hundreds of yards. The jury brought in verdict that she came to her death from bruises inflicted by Mclean. Mclean was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal H. J. Paulsen, and is now in the Dillingham; jail.
 Mrs. Mclean was the daughter of Rev. Father Kashevaroff, priest of the Greek church at Kodiak, Alaska. She and Mclean have been married about twelve years. She was known here as an excellent housekeeper and a good mother.
 Mclean is a native of Australia, and has had a checkered career. When thirteen years of age he ran away from home, coming to San Francisco. From that place he came to the Bris- tol bay region, marrying here. Tn 1910 he was one of the census enumerators, covering the Iliamna lake region He was of quaTelsome disposition, and has had numerous fights.

 While doing this a messenger was sent 10 the Mclean home from the hall where the wedding was being celebrated to get some song books in the custody of Mclean. In answer to the repeated knocking, Mclean fin ally came to the door, and getting the bCcks. handed them to the messen- ger anG then renewed his assault upon his wife. who was lying insensible on the floor.

 NUSHAGAK, Jan. 21. - Alexander E. Mclean, territorial school teacher at this place, murdered his wife in a barbarous manner at their home here yesterday morning. The testimony of McLean's children and the condition of the dead woman's body show that her death was one of slow torture and fiendish cruelty, lasting throughout Wednesday night and part of Thurs day morning, until death came to her relief.
 Trouble arose in the Mclean home early Wednesday evening, when Mrs Mclean was preparing to attend a wedding. Mclean, who is high-tem- peTed and vindictive in disposition, suddenly hurled the lighted lamp at the woman. The lamp was smashed when it struck her, spraying oil over her, which instantly burst into flames. Fearing that the house would be set on fire, Mclean threw blanket over her and smothered out the fire after her dress had partly burned off. Then knocking the woman down he kneeled upon her hips, and with her face downward, he grasped her by the hair and churned her face and breast upon the floor until he was tired. Then
