DRIVER OF DEATH
GAR UNDER ARREST
Shannon Hawkins, of Columbia, Who
Drove Machine When Mrs Nc
Grath Was Killed, Under
$500 Bond.

Shannon Hawkins, who drove the
car in which Mrs. Maggie B1evins Nc
Grath of this city was riding Sunday
when she met her death, must answer
to the charge of manslaughter in the
fourth degree He was arraigned be-
fore Justice John S. Bicknell Monday
in Columbia, after having spent the
night in the county Jail.
Hawkins preliminary was set for
April 81. He gave bond for his ap-
~pearance at the preliminary in the sum
of $500. His father, A. D. Hawkins,
is surety.
The Indictment of Hawkins follow
ing the tragedy may be attributed
somewhat to the determination of the
officers to stop speeding and the driv-
ing of cars by persons who are in any
degree of intoxiation as well as to
the element of manslaughter, which IN
tiers into the case says the Columbia
Tribune.
The penalty for fourth degree man.
slaughter ranges from the maximum
of two years in the state prison to six
months in the county Jail or a fine or
both a fine and Imprisonment in the
county Jail.
While riding in an automobile with
six men Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Aub-
rey McGrath, almost 20, was instantly
killed when the car ran off a wide cul-
vert into a ditch and turned a COM
plete somersault, on the Providence
road, about three and a half miles from
Columbia.

HOW BRITISH STEAMER GAVE
 U-B0AT SLIP

LONDO%. Jan. (by Associated rules have been much relaxed. cX- traordinary stories of close slaves and unexpected happenings are being pub lshcd. Hard to beat is one related by the Liverpool Evening Express. It tells how d torpedo from l'-bOat passed under an intended victim. which at the psychological moment was lifted beyond its reach by Il big wave and administered the quietus to another enemy submarine on the other side of the steamer. Here is the papers account of 1t:
 The British steamer Algories. com handed by Captain Frcdericy Taylor, was off Bdrdscy island, and had a cargo of timber from RosSlarc to Gar ston. There was heavy sea and the ship was pitching about.
 Tn" first to see the first submarine was the gunner. who also spotted the track of torpedo which. if some. thing like miracle had not hap poned. would have struck them amid ships Nothing could be done in time to turn the ship clear of danger but heavy sea lifted high on its crest the steamer. which was only drawing a few feet of water, and then those who had just been expecting to be tor pcdoded themselves saw a second U.boat which was working in con, junction with the one on the other side of the steamer struck by the tor, pedo

 INDECENT FUND
 DISTRIBUTION

Receipts from the federal fund for the relief of indlGoncy in this division
 for the year 1918 amount to SG.5&9.Io.
 \ like amount has been available for each of the other divisions. so that
 the total from in" federal fund for
 Alaska for relief of indigents for the
 year 1918 reaches the sum of S2G.- l 15640.
 It would seem that this fund should
 be apporttoned with regard 10 condi. tions existing in the respective diyi- sions. instead of giving each division th" same amount Comparing condi- tions in this division with the condi
 tions in the First division il is found that il costs from $2l5 to $25o to send an ndigrnt from Fairbanks to the Pio- nccrs' home at Sitka. as against not to exceed $&5 to transport an indi
 gent from any place in the First di
 vision to SitEd. IU IL. tu.YI division the cost will average about $55. Trans
 porration from th" second division in winter K. of course. out of the Qurs. { tiOn, but in the summer will amount to about $l40 per individual. The pop. ulatiOn Of tn" second division k prob
 ably only one-fourth that of the
 Fourth division. yet it receives the same allowanc" as the Fourth. So no matter what way you look at it. even if the cost of supplies is eliminated from consideration. the fund for the Fourth division does not go very far For the year ending September 30. | 1918. the Pioneers home rendered aC- counts to the judg" of the district court amounting to $5.962. calculated at the rate of $I per day for each in divilual in the home from this divi- sion. Practically all the fund must be used for other purposes, and pay ments to the Pioneers home ar" not compulsory. for that institution is pro vided for by territorial appropriations. But whenever thdrc Is an unexpected balance it k discretionary with Dh" hlHtilNi JuiN' N' IhH any Hh'it ''''''''
 to the Pioneers home for its main tcnancc or return it to the treasurer of the United States for redistribution among the four judicial divisions. Dur ing the past year the demands upon the indigent fund have been very heavy. and Judge Bunncll has paid to the Pioneers home only $5O4S7.
 The heaviest items of expense have been for transportation and mainte. nance en route to the home The to- tai expended in this way amounts to $2,O9675
 But even if it might be possible to devise d means for distributing the in digent fund more equitably among the four divisions it is, nevertheless, a great assistance to the division. A pioneers home in this division at some one of our hot springs would eliminate 75 per cent of the present transporta- tion expense, and would probably be more satisfactory all the way around. It is a long trip from here to Sitka; there are many delays; in about half of the cases attendants are necessary. and the moving of elderly. feeble per sons from the dry climate of the h.

RELIGIOUS CULT MAY SPREAD
Babism Freed From Persecution
Through the Downfall Of the Turk
ish Power In Palestine.

With the breaking OF the Turkish
power in Palestine another religious
cult has been liberated from persecu-
tion, that of Bahasm, or Babism. The
leader of this spiritual movement is
Abdul BAHIA. or Abbss Efrendl, as he is
generally known. This religion was
first founded by Baha'O'llah, the IA
ther of the present leader, and he
chose his son to preach its doctrines
before the world. Due to the antagon-
ism of the movement to the Islam re-
lision, Abdul BAHIA was imprisoned
by the sultan of Turkey, who feared
his teachings. and was kept a prisoner
in the fortress OF Aka, near Haifa,
for 40 years. Upon his release in 1908,
when a mild constitutional form OF
government was established in Tar
key, BAHIA Travelled through France
and England preaching his doctrines,
also coming TO the United States, In
1912.
Abdul BAHIA strove to be called the
Servant of humanity" While in the
Orient he won many friends by caring
for the sick and oppressed, and among
the many titles given him by his neigh
bors was one especially applied to him,
namely Father of the Poor" While
in this country he established colonies
OF supporters Of his teachings in Chi
cago and Kenosha, Wis. His teach
ings have a close relation with those
Of Christianity and Judaism.

Too Much Repinino.

It's an easy thing 10 permit the
plainriye note 10 run through the song
OF life. The invisible partner for some
reason or other clings to LIES sllad-
ows and is ever ready for its tears.
Just why life should seem so hard no
one can tell. Often when everything
suggests peace and' plenty We hear
fears OF want. In days when sunshine
makes most hearts glad we notice the
unbidden tear. It's so easy TO whine.
il comes like second nature. Surely
something in the being Is wrong who
makes earth's successes and defeats
bring forth the same complaints aud
sadness. Folks busy with todny's
problems have little time 10 mourn the
folly OF yesterday. Yet many an 9th
erwise choice spirit is companoned
with sadness and the result is u world
of shadows.
