VOICE or THE ALASKA PRESS,

Although the bill authorizing the. entry of the territory into the steam, ship business has been passed, it is not too late for the proper authori- ties to halt, to think long and we'll before burdening the people and the industries with taxes that may be never ending.
 There can be no question that some Of the transportation rates to the North and methods of handling freight are anything but desirable, and the Times would be among the first to ad- vocate territorial operation of ships If 1t should be proven practical. But 1t doubts the advisability of such an undertaking, especially after reading the cost of the railroads to the country during the first quarter of the year. Ketchikan Times.

HINDU HEClRA
 FROM FARMS
 OF CALIFORNIA

FL CENTRO, Cal, May 27 (by As sociated Press) ).-Hundreds of Hindus who have been employed picking cot ton and at other tasks on Imperial valley farms, have mysteriously dis appeared. Several large colonies have been depleted and the few remaining Asiatics are those who hold land leases which do not expire for several months.
 Observers of conditions in the val lev believe the concerted exodus was the result of orders transmitted by na- tive priests who have labored among the Hindus for several months past. A score of laborers are known to have departed for jobs in the Salt river val ley in Arizona but the destination of others who left or the reason for the hegira is unknown.
 Several months ago, local residents say, a native priest appeared in the Hindu colonies here and at Imperial California. These priests held serv- ices for their countrymen, which they told valley people were for the pur- pose of teaching them Americanism. They soon disappeared, quietly and without any announced destination.
 Soon the Hindus in the valley, even those who could read no English, started purchasing copies of coast daily paper. Often as many as 3Oo copies of this paper would be sold in one day, where the market before never exceeded ten. As suddenly as the buying started, it stopped, and the hegira commenced.
 That cryptoc message Of some sort was conveyed through this daily newspaper, advising the Hindus to leave the valley, or perhaps calling them to work where they would pc paid higher wages, is the only theory advanced for their strange action.

THE POSITION OF A COWARD

The attitude of former Delegate Wickersham in depending upon the chance to win seat in congress as the representative of the people of Alaska by wire pulling majority in congress, and through legal technicali- ties, instead of submitting the ques- tion to the people who are to be rep resented, is untAmerican, unworthy of free country and fitting only in a game" of personal, practical poli- tics. In no other country than easy going America would any man have the consummate nerve to propose such a thing. In Canada or Great Britain he who would suggest it would be hooted and hissed to his hole.
 The Empire does not believe the people of Alaska will tolerate the scheme. It does not believe the Re publicans in congress will be party to it.
 Here we have a man who only claims that the last election was prac- tically a stand-off Since that election took place hundreds of vigorous young men, scores of them Alaska reared and many of them Alaskan born, have returned from war service where they sacrificed their time and risked their lives for their country. They left scores of their fellows in new-made graves in France and at the canton rneats. They are Alaskans all. The
 other day 15O of them marched in a Juneau parade Not one of them voted at the last election Everyone of them will be constituent of Alaska's next representative in congress. Fate has decreed them a chance to assist in making a choice of their representa- tive. But Wickersham is afraid to take a chance. He seeks to deny them an opportunity to express preference in the matter. He proposes to organ ize and wire pull seat for himself ir- respective of what may be their wishes in the premises.
 The position is that of coward, a case of "the people be damned; of what care l. for peoples opinion if I can worm my way on the payroll and to opportunity to injure the territory of Alaska by tearing down those in Washington and elsewhere who are seeking to develop it."
 No real Alaskan, no self-respecting American would pocket MT. Grigby's challenge to meet him in contest for a decision from the people of Alaska to whom they would have for their representative in Washington.
 Wickersham would have all the best of such contest as far as the strategy of the situation is concerned. He has just completed a careful campaign of the whole territory, and he is known better by more people of Alaska than any living man.
 His refusal to accept the challenge to go before the people Is an admis- sion that he knows he would be de- feated, and an admission of defeat is an admission that he is not the proper man to represent the people No hon. Orable or brave man would want to represent people whom he suspects would prefer someone else for that purpose.-Juneau Empire.

Bound Over As Result Of Stab
bling Fray On Feb. 3.

Leroy Mockmore was held to the
grand jury under $500 bonds by Po-
lice Magistrate John C. Higgins OF
Davenport yesterday and the story
of the fight in which he is alleged
to have stabbed Arthur McDaniels,
an overseas soldier, with a butcher
knife, was wildly rehearsed.
The fight took place on Feb. in
the yard between 1922 and 1924
West Fifth street, Davenport.
Mockmore is a soldier and was
home from Camp Dodge on a five
day furlough at the time of the
stabbing. He is charged with as
sault with intent to commit great
bodily injury.
According to the stories told by
the principals in the case, the trou-
BILE started at the Coliseum, where
a "welcome-home" dance was being
given for the soldiers.
1t is claimed that McDaniels fol-
lowed Mockmore and his woman
friend from the Coliseum to the
girls home. AfterWard, Mockmore
is alleged to have gone into his own
home nearby and secured the cary
ing knife which he welded in the
battle later.

At the Spencer Square.

Wallace Reid's new Paramount
picture, THE Dub" is the story OF
a man who made good. One man
sees him finch in trivial test OF
his nerves and decides that he is a
coward. The narrative shows in
swiftly moving dramatic incidents
how he proved he was no weak
ling. 1.-The Dub" will be displayed
at the Spencer Square theatre next
Friday and Saturday.
John Craig is the hero. It is a
splendid Reid part and brings out
the best aspects of courage and
manhood Caught in tight place,
Craig refuses to be downed. Beat
en-, he refuses to acknowledge it,
and he comes back for more pun
ishment, solving a mystery and
winning beautiful girl in the bar
gain.
The story was written by Edgar
Franklin and directed by James
Cruze, who has proved many times
both as actor and director that be
kas a keen sense of comedy and
the dramatic.
The support is excellent. Pretty
Nina Byron, whose WOrk IN recent
Aircraft and Paramount pictures
has won her many admirers, has
the leading feminine role. And four
Of the finest character actors in the

GAMBLING HOUSE

IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, Feb 1.-TWO alleged
gamblers who maintained luxuT-
fous quarters on the upper west

quired their guests" to wear even
ing dress, and whose records, &C
cording to the police, showed even
ing's winnings as high as $4,000
and maximum losses of 5000, were
arraigr I'd in the police court here

Detectives had seized their para
phernalia, including roulett !
wheels and loaded dice, and a set
of giIt-edged books listing socially
prominent persons in various sec
tons of the country and their oc-
casionaI movements toward New
York.
TIE prisoners, who said they
were Frank Jones and Grant Fish
er, apparently were of middle age.
They are held as keepers Of a
gambling house after Magistrate
Corrigan had inspected their gam
ing apparatus and an equipment of
too's and materials which the pO-
Ice declared were used for loading
and falsely marking dice.
In the house, the detectives told
the court, were costly furniture
and paintings ranging in value
from $1,000 and $4,000 and q
buffet well stocked with liquors
and choice cuts of cold fowl and
other delicaCies.
In a bedroom were 40 dress suits

weeks spent in an attempt to agree
on bill which would permit more
young women to become nurses
the doctors and the registered
nurses have failed to agree. The

year high school matricUlatiOn as
necessary to any course.
The physicians probably will
