 Never before in the history of the nation or of the territory of Alaska has the educational outlook been so bright. There is now before congress what is known as the Smith-Towner education bill, which provides for a secretary of education in the Presi- dents cabinet, and carries an annual federal appropriation of s100,000,000 for cooperation with the states in the carrying out of an educational pro- gram which includes the removal of H. literacy, an Americanization campaign, better preparation of teachers, more adequate physical and health educa- tion, and the equalization of educa- tional opportunity regardless of whether child lives in poor or a wealthy community. Alaska is not yet included in the benefits of the bill, although most determined effort Is being made to bring this about.
 In@ so far as the territory is con- cerned, there is an interest in educa- tion manifested by people in all walks of life which is extremely encourag- ing. The territorial legislature at it's last session was most liberal in it's appropriations for the cause of educa- tion. Various communities are also launching movements looking toward the betterment of the material equip ment of the schools. Petersburg re- gently received permission to bond the city for $75,000 for the purpose of erecting modern school building and making other city Improvements. Fed eral legislation authorizing Ketchikan to bond herself for $100,000 for the purpose of erecting a school building was also recently enacted. Fairbanks is erecting a large and well-equipped gymnasium for use in carrying out a more definite physical education pro- gram in the schools. Schools through out the territory are devoting more at tention to physical education and to the addition of vocational training courses to the curriculum The time should soon arrive when no parent in any community will feel that his or her child can secure better educa- | tional opportunities on the Outside 1 than in Alaska.

This Morning.

Miss Ruth Pettis Blakelidge, aged
twenty-nine years, nurse well known
throughout northern Illinois and south
ern Wisconsin, died about five O'Clock
this morning at the Willowbrook Sana-
torium where she had been patient
for the past two months. The deceased

not entirely unexpected.

1889, in Massachusetts. Several years
ago she came to thi vicirity and for a
few years had been employed as nurse
in Kenosha county. Her home was in
LaGrange, ILL.,, where she has many
friends to lament her early death. Miss
Blakelidge is survived by her mother,
Mrs. Rosenah T. Pettis, Of LAGRANGE,
and by sister, DR.. Mary Southoff, one
of the physicians at the state insane
institution at Mendoza.
The remains were taken to Spring
field, Massachusetts,, today where they
will be buried IN the family plot in the

the remains of the father, who died
many years ago.

Henry on Monday and brought to Ke-
nosha were not the men wanted, Chief
O'Hare Monday evening had the wires
busy directing that the search for the
looters of the vault at the Brass Com
pany and the murderers of police of
fcer Tony Pingatore be pushed with in
creased vigor, The call was directed
especially to the detective bureau in
Chicago and Chief O'Hare feels certain
that the men who robbed and murdered
in Kenosha got into Clybourne juno
tion some time around half past ten
o CLOCK Monday morning and that they
found haven some where in the Grim
inal centers of Chicago.
The conductor on the train on which
the men are known to have left Crystal
Lake just after seven O'Clock Monday
morning has notified the officials that
three men who answered the descrip-
tion of the men wanted had left the
train just before it reached the ely
bourne station. 1t rs declared that the

easy it is for men to make mistakes in
Identification. We followed the trail of
these fellows yesterday and we feel GER
tain that they caught the milk train at
Lake Geneva at half past six o'clock
Monday morning. When we got to
Burlington we picked up the first trace
of the men. One of the officials at
Burlington had seen the men on the
bridge and as they drove West off the
bridge the car left the road and went
into garden plot. The Chief of Police
of Burlington watched the men back
the car out of the patchs and start to-
ward Elkhorn. Patrolman Mccarthy
saw the car as it passed the Burling-
ton police station and he hurried to a
garage and followed. This was about

The first real clew in the chase for
the masked bandits who robbed the
vault of the American Brass Company
on Sunday night and who were respon-
sible for the death of Police Officer
Pingatore early Sunday morning, was
brought into the sheriff 3 Office just af-
ter noon today. 1t was the three grips
which had belonged to the bandits
which Sheriff Meyer had found hidden
behind billboard at the intersection
of the Burlington and Green Bay roads,
five miles west of the city. In the
grips were revolvers, masks, ammuni-
tion, dynamite and fuses, two of the
revolvers which had disappeared from
the Office of the American Brass Com
pany and ffty-seven cents in money
The grips had the appearance Of hav-
ing been thrown behind the billboard
from the road. There was no sign of
any bonds in the grips and the sheriff
declared that he had been advised that
the men could have placed the fifty
thousand dollars worth of bonds in their
inside pockets and got away with them.
The finding of the grips spurred the
officers on to greater efforts to get some
new lead on the trail of the bandits.
Men Arrested are Released.
A few minutes after the announce
ment was made that these grips had
been found, Leland L. DeFlon, r. E.
Curtis, ana Sarkis Boshnakian, three
college graduates and federal agents,
who had been arrested at McHenry,
Illinois, on Monday Afternoon, were
released from custody at the orders Of
Chief Of Police O'Hare.
They left their baggage at the police
Office and with friends who had come to
look after their interests, hurried away
to the nearest restaurant to get some
thing to eat. They planned to return to
McHenry Later in the afternoon.
The chief told the men in releasing
them that he regretted if they had suf-
fered great inconvenience, but that he
hoped that they would consider their
being detained as part of the work
Of the police in solving the mystery Of
as dastardly crime as had ever been
committed in southern Wisconsin. The
men gave the chief cordial farewell
and assured him that they would not
forget their stay in Kenosha for some
time. Just to show the good will of
the police department the chief furnish
ed the young men with money to pay
Ill their expenses back to McHenry and
they declared that they would be back

DeFlon had been at his home and had
left there just after ten clock to re-
turn to the hotel. Mrs. Wyman also.
declared that the other to men had
spent the evening at the hotel and
that they could not have been in Ke-
nosha Sunday night. She gave an ex-
cellent description of the men and
told of them paying their bill on
Monday morning just before they left
for McHenry.

plain y DeFlon said. "We were
brought over here and we never had
the remotest idea what had happened
or what we were supposed to be charg-
ed with. We have tried to explain to
the officers just who we are and what
we have been doing and we know that
everything that we have said will be
properly substantiated by simply get
ting in touch with the people who
know u.s..
DeFlon detailed the story Of his life
in the university and his service in the
aviation section and later his work for
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington and the other two men made
similar statements.
Many people visited the Jail during
Monday afternoon and crowded to get
a sight of the t5bandits y. Several of
the people were willing to declare that
they were certain that they were the
men in Kenosha but later these same
people expressed grave doubts as to
the identification.

CADILLAC HIT
BUT WORKS ON
Telegraph Officer Tells Of
Escape In Rain from
Hun Shells.

Maj. w. p. Wattles, in command OF
the Fifty-third Telegraph Battalion,
A E F., and formerly of the Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania,
has recorded one of the most interest
ing Cadillac stories of the war. His
description is as follows:
"A few days ago had rather close
shave. but over, here one realizes that
a miss is as good as few feet. I
had gone out to inspect some telephone
lines. Arriving at a little town. 1
stopped my car alongside of a stone
wall, where it would not be too visi-
BILE from above. I sat for a few min
utes looking over the country through
my field glasses. The Boches were
sheilng a town about three-cuarters
of a mile away. The chauffeur and I
got out of the car and 1 decided to
walk down the road where I could get
a better view of the line.
when had gone about seventy
five yards, the Boches threw over
about ten shells. which went over my
head and exploded in the town be-
hind me. Oh. yes, I was fat on the
ground, waiting for the burst of anger
to subside-following out the saying
that he who fiops without delay, may
live to flop another day.
Car Survived Bombs.
When I got back to my car
found that one of the shells had ex-
ploded alongside it, tearing a four
foot hole in the wall. hurting about
two bushels Of rock into the car,
and rfddling the body of the car with
lis clean holes, not including numer-
GUS dents. Some shell fragments had
gone through the metal. the uphol-
stery and out through the other side.
The windshield was smashed. the
top. which was folded, was literally
riddled. and there were seven pune
lures in one tire and four in an
other.
THE only mechanical damage to
the engine was a small hole in the
water Jacket (Which we plugged with
piece of wood and a small leak
in the pipe line to the oil gauge.
'T am still using the car, and It
excites considerable curiosity: every
one wants to know Just what be-
came Of the occupants when it hap
pened I am only too well pleased
to tell them that I was not in it at
the time"
