"No, I am not angry, monsieur. yet
It was not needed. I do not fear

Ny eyes fell before his earnest
gaze, and I felt my limbs tremble.
"Mon dieui Whyf There was some

Heve this is my thought, yet I must
tell you the truth. Hugo Chevet was
found dead, murdered, at st. Ignace.
Twas the morning of our departure,
and your boat had already gone. Cas-
sion accused you Of the crime, as some
of the men saw you coming from the
direction where the body was found
late at night, and others reported that
you two had Quarreled the evening
before. Cassion would have tried you
offhand, using his authority as COM
mander Of the expedition, but prom
ised not to file charges until we
reached st. Louis, II made pledge
twas then that gave him my word. !"
D'Artigny Strengthened up, the ex-
preston on his face one of profound
astonishment.
"He-he accused me-" he asked, "of

''No. monsieur; he believed the charge
true, and pledged myself to assure
you a fair trial"

BUSINESS THAT SUFFERS,

1t is true that prohibition throws
some people out Of business. In Den.
yer during the first dry month it was
found that about forty washwomen
gave up their work. Their husbands
spent their earnings for home supplies
instead OF booze and the women could
stay at home and take care a their
families. At the same time one large
laundry gained about 400 new patrons.

my hands, no longer able to restrain
my sobs. D'Artigny caught my hands
and uncovered my face.
"Do not break down, little girl" he
entreated. "It is better so, for now
we understand each other. You sought
to shield me, and I endeavored to pro-
tect you. Twas a strange misunder-
standing, and, but for the accident to

"Yes."
His handclasp ughtened, and there
was that in his eyes which frightened
me.
"No, no, monsieur" exclaimed and
drew back quickly. "Do not say more,
for am here with you alone, and
there will be trouble enough when
Cassion returns"
"Do not know thatr' he said, yet
releasing my hands. "Still It can sure
ly do no harm for us to understand

Cassion; you dislike, desptse the man,
and there is naught sacred in your

The light Of conquest vanished from
the gray eyes. For moment he stood
silent and motionless; then he drew a
step backward and bowed.
"Your rebuke Is just, madame" he
said soberly. 1--WE Of the frontier grow
careless in a land where might is
right, and have had small training
save in camp and field. I crave your
pardon for my offense."
So contrite was his expression had
to smile, realizing for the first time
the depth Of his interest in my good
will, yet the feeling which swayed me
was not altogether that of pleasure.
He was not one to yield SO quietly, or
to long restrain the words burning his
tongue, yet surrendered to my first
impulse, and extended my hand.
"There is nothing to pardon, sieur
d'Artigny," said frankly. "There is
no one to whom I owe more of cour-
tesy than you. trust you fully, and

ask the same faith. Under the condi-

 The government has built two de- tention hospitals in Alaska, for the care of the insane, but for some req son they have never been put to use. One of these is at Nome and the oth- CT at Fairbanks.
 The Chamber of Commerce at Nome is sending the circulars throughout the country in the hope of interesting the people in the endeavor to have these hospitals opened for the benefit of the insane, where they will receive proper care and attention.
 In the Northland, close to the friends they have known, and where they may receive frequent visits from those interested in their welfare, it is believed that the percentage of cures that may be effected will be greatly increased.

BOY CONFESSES OF
 KILLING HIS MOTHER

PORTSMOUTH, O.. May 16.-Geo. Jordan, g year old, confessed today, officials say, that he killed his mother with a shotgun. Last Wednesday he told officials that his father, Roy Jor- dan, killed the mother with a shot, gun following a quarrel, because she did not get up early enough to cook breakfast. 2
 The officials had brought George and Fred, his year-old brother, be- fore the probate judge when Fred, pointing to his brother, said: George what did you kill mama for?" George hung his head.
 Asked if the accusation were true. the boy said it was. He said he was playing with the shotgun and did not know it was loaded. He pulled the hammer back and the contents of the gun were discharged into his mother head.
 . Neighbors found the body of Mrs. Jordan Tuesday afternoon. Wednes- day the father was formally charged with the murder.

LOAD ALASKA VESSEL ON
 SCOW TO BE TONED NORTH

A unique loading stunt will be tried by the Alaska Engineering Commis sion when the new $10,OO0 river freighter B. & B. No. 2 is slid on board scow No. 12 from the Hanford street gridiron. The B. & B. No. 2 will be placed on the ports gridiron and the scow moored alongside at high tide. When the tide has ebbed until the top of the scow is at the level of the gridiron hawser will be run from a cable on the scow over the winch of the B. & B. No. 2 and the vessel will be drawn onto the scow by her own power This probably is the first time that a feat of the kind has ever been attempted in Elliott bay.
 The B. & B. No. 2 which was launched from the yards of the Canal Manufacturing Company, will be tow ed to Anhorage by the Alaska Engi- neering Commissions tug Al Roscoe, during the next two weeks. The Al Roscoe is now at sea between Port land and Seattle. On her trial trip the B. & B. No. 2 developed a speed of fourteen miles and behaved nicely on number of runs between the canal and Elliott bay. She is S7 feet long and 23 feet beam. Draws only 20 inches under load of 45 tons. Twin screws operating in tunnels run- ming from stem to stern will drive the craft.
 It was announced yesterday that Capt. Richard Holbrook will be mass ter of the B. & B. No. 2. He is one of the best known navigators on Pu- get Sound and in Alaska waters, hav- ing commanded vessels here for 26 years. He bought the steamer Tycon- da last year and took her up the Stik- inc river, where she caught fire and burned.--Post-Intelligencer.

CAMPAIGN FOR
 fA|D 0F INSANE
NOME BODY TAKES INITIATIVE
Chamber of Commerce of Seward Pe- ninsula Exposes Methods Pursued Under the Contract Method of Car- ing for the Demented.

Under the title "A Plea for the Helpless" the Nome Chamber of Commerce is sending out a circular, the opening of it's campaign for bet ter treatment of the insane of Alaska. Under present contracts, entered into by the government with the Sanita- rum Company of Portland, Oregon, insane people from Alaska are sent to the Morningside Sanitarium, where for the sum of $27.50 per month the patients are supposed to receive pro- per care, good food and medical at- tendance.
 According to the circular this is not provided, and the patients are in worse condition than when left to care for themselves. The circular contains the affidavits of c. O'Brien, A. Nicholas, Edward J. Fox and Frank Litz, all former inmates of the ilftitution, and their stories are tales of Sost barbarous treatment, entire lack of medical treatment and of food not fit for pigs. According to these the patients had no privacy, 1S0 or more of them being herded together in two rooms, and no attempt made to separate the severe from the mild cases. In these two rooms, Ameri- cans, foreigners, natives, Indians, and Chinese are all herded together with no attempt to separate diseased or disgusting cases from those who are still cleanly and self-respecting.
 These afldavits tell of tortures in- f1icted for the slightest infraction of the rules, of men strapped to frame

Coming of HObson and Attack on Underwood Arouse Fear That Issue May Be Carried
 to Convention

At least four additional candidates will make the race for delegate to the demo- cratic national convention from the state at large and several new entries in prac- tically every district in the state may be expected before the lists close tomor- row. Included in the list of additional candidates will be some of the most prom inent men in Alabama.
 J. J Willett of Anniston, Ray Rushton of Montgomery, Thomas M. Stevens of Mobile and R. E. Spragins of Huntsville will probably qualify from the state at large within the next two or three days. Judge Thomas W. Coleman of Eutaw, formerly a justice of the supreme court, and Judge A. S. VandeGraaff of Tusca- loosa are among those mentioned as pos sible candidates from the Sixth district.
 A s. Preston, mayor of Jasper and a prominent banker of Walker county, is expected to qualify as a delegate from the Tenth district. Stonewall Kyle of Gadsden is reported as a probable can- didate from the Seventh district. Other men of statewide prominence are con- sidering the matter, and large num- Der of additional candidates will be be-

 ACTION OF PROHIBITIONISTS
 It is stated that there is a strong but unorganized movement over the state to get out number of prominent men for the positions of delegates who are known to be opposed to any mention of nation wide prohibition at the democratic national convention. The action of the prohibition leaders in arranging for Hobson to make 20 or more speeches in Alabama before the primary, advocating national prohibi- tion, coupled with the attack which was made on Senator Underwood by the lead CTS in the Hobson and the national pro hibition ranks, has tended to create an impression throughout Alabama that the prohibition issue might be forced at the convention.

John Bailey, negro, an alleged chicken thief, who resides at 3203 Ave- nue D, is in the Hillman hospital fa- tally injured as the result of gunshot wound inflicted by Henry Safely, a negro.
 Safely is an old negro farmer who resides alone at Roseda1e.

When the officers arrived they found Bailey in dying condition on the roadside, close to Safely's hen roost with sew eral large gunshot wounds in his ab- domen.
 It is alleged that Bailey has been arrested several times for the theft of chickens and breaking into freight cars. If he should survive he will be tried for burglary

HOBSON'S ARRIVAL
 IS KEENLY AWAITED
No One Yet Knows His Plan of Action for Approach
 ing Primary

Political students of Alabama are awaiting with heenest interest the arrival of Richmond Pearson Hobson, former Sixth district congressman, and the an nouncement of what office, If any, he proposes to seek in the coming primary.
 Continued reports, apparently authentic, are to the effect that Hobson has not yet determined upon his future course. When he arrives, probably not later later than Monday, to deliver 20 addresses for na- tiona prohibition, it is understood he will make a statement of his intentions.
 Phil Painter, a former secretary to Captain Hobson, and one of his warmest political supporters, stated yesterday that, in his opinion, Hobeon would make the race for Congress in the Tenth dis trict against W. B. Bankhead Painter declared, however, that Hobson would confer with his friends when he arrived and would be governed by their opinion as to his course of action.
 In this connection, the unequivocal dec- Iaration of William B. Bankhead, in an address Monday, in favor of the pro- gramme of the prohibitionists, is consid- cred extremely significant. That Mir Bankhead would favor prohibition in his race and would agree to support the pro- hibition measures in Congress had pre- viously been reported in The Age-Herald.
 A. S. Preston, mayor of Jasper, who was in Birmingham yesterday, expressed the opinion that Hobson would not run for Congress from the Tenth district. MT. Preston was also of the opinion that in case he should enter the race, Bankhead would be able to defeat him. This opin- ion was concurred in by F. D. Peebles of Vienna, another resident of the Tenth district, while in the city yesterday.
 From all sections of the state come reports concerning the probable course of action which Hobson will pursue. His friends in the different counties are waiting his coming with keen interest. Among the other positions with which the name of Hobson has been connected is that of candidate for delegate to the national convention from the state at large It is considered significant that up to the present time only three nation wide prohibitionists have qualified for the four places from the state at large. It has been suggested that one of these was being held open by the prohibitionists for Hobson, should he decide not to make the fight for Congress from the Tenth dis trict.
