DIR. WILKINS ARRESTED
New York Physician Held n Conncc-
ton With Death of His Wife.

New York, March 2O.-Dr. Keen
wilkins. aged 81, was arrested here
last night upon his arrival from Bal
timore and was immediately locked
UP on charge of homicide in con-
rcction with the death Of his wife.
DR.. wilkins disappeared Sunday
while the investigation into the mur-
der of his wife in their Long Beach
home was in progress.
Before wilkins fled, it was learned
today, he spent considerable time
burning papers and packing his
clothing. When District Attorney
Weeks heard this he discarded the
theory that wilkins had committed
suicide.
One of the most important witncs-
ses summoned before the grand jury
was Mrs. Mary NitZl. wilkins house
keeper. According to information an
unknown man te!ephoned her the
light of February q and informed
kcr in German. that DR.. wilkins had
Just murdered his wife at their home
in Long Beach. When wilkins re-
turned to his New York home the
next day the woman told him Of this
call. He became enragcd, she said,
and told her to keep her mouth shut.

 Side by side were Jimmy Wilde and Joe Lynch, the American whom
 Wilde had punished at the tourna- ment before the little English fly weight champion in turn succumbed to the American sailor Pal Moore. Lynch's nose was askew. Mike O'Dowd appeared with one eye half closed, an ear enlarged and a broad grin, and several other of the con- testants were nursing disfigurements but all were happy.

During the debate on the Wicker. sham-Sulzer election contest, Dele gate James Wickersham assured Con- gross that he would not contest the election of former Delegate Charles A. Sulzer in the 1918 election.
 It was pointed out several times during the debate that Delegate Sul- ger, then the sitting member from Alaska, had been reelected by the people of the Territory, but by a small margin. Members of Congress complained that there seemed dan. ger that there would be perpetual contest on from Alaska, and one of the members asked Judge Wicker sham, when he was making his speech, if he did not expect to con test the next election.
 Judge Wickersham replied that he had no intention fof contestihg the election. q have had enough" he added
 The canvass of the returns from the various precincts in the late cleo. ton will begin as soon as Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr. returns to Juneau. Acting Gov. c. E.

 The Cordova Herald, on January 18th. reporting the precincts of Ke- nai, Ninilchick, Sanak and Chignik says:

 These are all precincts which the Cordova Herald, the Juneau Dispatch, and other Wickersham papers said six weeks ago had been reported There have been nineteen precincts reported from the Third Division since these papers said that the Division had all been heard from except the three Bristol Bay pre- cincts.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Interesting comment anon the recent Inter-Al lied boxing contests in London is beginning to reach this country by mail and it is apparent that British fight fans have taken the defeat oi their little idol-Jimmy Wilde by Pal Moore, the American sailor very much to heart. A number ot London papers, after long and min ute analysis of the Albert Hall match vigirously assert that the judges were at fault in giving Moore the decision.
 Wilde himself admits that he won "It's over a&d done with" says he, "but I'm certain I won. I did win From first to last never had the slightest doubt that I was beating Moore, and when they said I'd lost, I had the shock of my life. I was struck dumb. When I got to my dressing room you could have knock ed me down with a feather. al
