SUPERINTENDENT ,I7HNSON
 HAS STRANGE TALE TO TELL

Superintendent Johnson of the bureau of education left for Nulato on March 1. After attending to business there he will go to Nome via St. Michael, says the unalakleet correspondent of the Nome Industrial Worker. While in the kuskokwlm MT Johnsan ran across a village of Esklmos living in good log cabins and who had a written language of their own. From III, oures he learned that these people had been promised teacher several years ago by one of the bureau of education men Ii they would get together, build village etc. This they did, but as no teacher ar rived. one of the natives invented system of writing and taught it to the rest and they now can communicate readily with one another The writer saw a specimen of this language where several chapters ot the Bible were translated into small space. It seems to be an abbreviated long hand, but it must be left to the pIoglot islc) authorities for more lucid comment.

HEflTS THAT TURKISH PRINCE
 VAS VICTIM OF ASSASSIN

Whether Yussuf Izzeddin, late heir to the throne of Turkey, really committed sui eide recently. as was officiolly announced in Constantnople, or was aSsasslnated, IS something nobody expects ever to knO". Yussuf is well known to have been pro ally in his svmpathies Naturally, this made the Germans hate him. It also made him hated by the openly pro-German Turk ish war minister Envcr Pasha, and by the group of Turks which surrounds the lat ter. Thee circumstances are regarded a giving plenty Of ground for the suspicion that Iussuf was murdered At the same time, it is rumored that the sultans next milne had amIle reason for the deepest despondency concerning the Turkish gov ernmcntal policy, which in his opinion was rushing the country straight in the direr- ticn of complete ruin. It is suggested in responsible quarters, therefore, that his sui eide would not have been surprising. 1us- sui was nearly 50 years old. He was Turk ish war minister St the age of IS, but when Abdul Azz was overthr0wn he was forced into retirement Abdul Hamid kept him 8 semi prisoner on the Asatic side of the Bosphorus He was in thorough sympathy and complete touch with the Young Turk ish revolutionary activity which preceded Abdul Hamids deposition With the Euro pean wars outbreak however, his pro ally views resulted in violent break between himself and Enver Pasha, the Young Turk leader, who has always been strongly pro German. The story is even told that he and Enver exchanged shots as the climax
 ! quarrel between them concerning Fur keys attitude. The Turkish throne does not descend in direct line from father to son but when a sultan dies it passes to the eldest male representative of the house of Othman. Yussuf was the present sul tans cousin. With his death, Vahid Eddin born in 1861, a younger brother of the sultan, became heir apparent. He, too, is pro ally Constantinople dispatch in Sew ard Gateway.

LAHEY STARVED TO DEATH
 WITHIN REACH OF PLENTY
(Rubv Record Citizen, March 25(

Deputy Marshal Jack MacCormack of Nulato arrived in Ruby last Tuesday on his way to Fairbanks He had lately returned from a trip up the Koyukuk, made fer the purpose of burying the body of Jack Lahey who starved to death in an isolated cabin during the winter. The body was buried about six miles from where it was found. Lumber for the coffin was sledded from Nu- lato. It IS the intention of Bob Lang Ot Koyukuk to make a trip up on the last snow to look for the body of Tom Wilson, Lahev's partner who left the latter in the cabin to go for assistance, but never returned.
 Robert Hillary of Ruby had maintained a long standing friendship with Wilson, and has interested himself in the case. He has availed himself of every means possible for learning all the particulars and has fur nished the following facts regarding the awful experiences that resulted in the death of the two men:
 Wilson and Lahey left Hughes, late in the fall, in small boat, bound for Nulato They froze in at the mouth of Hog river and reached kosac's cabin, twelve miles above Fortymile cutoff, November 3, with out grub They got a little grub from kol- sac, a native, and declined to wait and go down with kolsac later as they were in 8 hurry to reach Nulato, in order to get 6 wood contract from the wireless station. kolsac left about a week later, but when he reached the cutoff he saw where thei, sled track went on over the cutoff.
 Around by the way of the river it is l06 miles to where Lahey's body was found, fifteen miles above the lower end of the cut of. Fifteen miles lower down was Peter kckrnes cabin, stocked with grub, and six miles from where I-ahey died there was trap line which was run at lnterValS. but the hard pressed men were ignorant of these sources of relief. They had hauled about $50 pounds between them with one dog. It is probable that they played themselves out with this heavy load, or they might have reached safety
 Two letters were found in the cabin. The first one written was signed by both Lahey and Wilson It stated they were ou: of grub and starving; that there were no birds and rabbits were scarce, and that they had eaten their dog. The letter also contained an order for grub cn Evans at koyukuk station. It was after writing this letter that Wilson started back up the river fir help
 Wilson was a member Of the Fraterral Order of Eaol2s at Wilkinson, Wa.h. His relatives live at Gig Harbor Wash.

COVEY, ALIAS JACK SpEi44c(ER,
 TO BE TAKEN TO FAIRBANKS

The following from the Fairbanks Times Of recent date refers to the young man who left here for Seward some weeks ago with Mr and Mrs. William Taylor as passengers:
 "The United States marshal in the Third division will send William s. Covey, alias Jack Spencer, back to Tanana in charge of deputy from that division. Covey was arrested at Anchorage on the charge Of lar ceny. It is altered in warrant sworn to before Commissioner Dehn that Covey stole team of five dogs, harness and sled at TaLana.
 When the marshaIs office here received the information it sought to intercept the slleged thief at Iditarod, when it was as cert9ined that he had gone, but before the word could be gotten there Covey had left for the coast.
 Accordingly Marshal Erwin wired Mar shaI Brenneman to intercept the man when he arrived at Seward In his wire to the marshal of the Third division Marshal Er- win described the man wanted fer larceny, for he supposed that the name he would go under on the coast would be different from that used in the Interior.
 Yesterday Marshal Brenneman wired Marshal Erwin that the man wanted by him had been located st Ancohrage. The wire received by Marshal Erwin is as follows:
 'Covey arrested Anchorage for larceny of deg tcam under name of Jack Spencer. Advise where wanted If at Fairbanks, will send deputy from here to Anchorage and bring to Fairbanks Taylor and wife o. K. at Anchorage. BRENNEMAN'
 "Covey msrepresented himself all along the trail, from Tanana to Anchorage, accord- ing to reports received by the marshal
 Tt Is understood that besides the charge of larceny, the warrant for his arrest charges him with not that alone, but with several other breaches of the law. Until his arrest the feet that such case existed vas not generally known, but now that he will be returned to stand trial Marshal Erwin de cided to release it to the public. The fact that Covev was so easily intercepted proves that this is very difficult country to escape from if the authorities keep a care ful watch on the various lines of travel
