 Burns the Portland murderer, whose capture was accomplished in Nome last summer by U. $. Marshal F. k.
 Jordan. was given the maximum sen tence allowed by the Oregon law. life imprisonment, on arrival at the scene of his crime, according to advices
 reaching Marshal Jordan on recent mails.
 Johnson was arrested August 29th, last. while working at the Nome Life Saving Station under Capt. Thos. A.
 Ross. The young murderer. was ap-
 prehended as a result of wire infor-
 nation and descriptions sent out by the Portland police officials. charging him with the brutal murder of his benefactress, Mrs. Eunice Freeman. a prominent Portland woman.
 His capture was accomplished so deftly that Johnson was landed in the federal jail almost before he realized he was under suspicion. Following inca arceration Johnson admitted to the Marshal his connection with the mur- der of Mrs. Freeman telling the re- volting details of his crime. and also California penintentiary for the at tempted murder of another woman in up a man in Seattle shortly before coming to Nome. The only extenua- tion offered by Johnson for the mur- der of Mrs. Freeman. who had secur ed his release from the California prison on parole to herself was that he was afraid she might send him back 10 the pen" He Was turned over to Inspector Jno. A. GoltZ and A. l.. Phillips of the Portland Police department Oct. ' and was taken to Portland. According to the informa. tion reaching Marshal Jordan, John son received the sentence of life im- prisonment with apparent indifference and turned away before the court had finished pronouncing judgement.
 Before passing sentence the court severely excoriated Johnson for his cold blooded crime and remarked that he was sorry the law did not permit Johnsons only remark after hearing the words which will confine him to a prison cell for life were to the effect that he was glad to get on his way to Salem.

TELEGRAPH COMMUNICATION
 RESTORED

Telegraph communication with the outside was restored Thursday. fol- lowing an interruption lasting since
 Tuesday morning. During the inter- val few commercial and official mes-
 sages came through by the radio routes; but for some unexplained req
 son no press messages were permitted
 to reach this section. It was ex- plained at the telegraph office that the was due to the breaking down of the land line system between
 Fairbanks and the coast but the local
 staff could give no reason why press
 matter was not routed over the air routes. As usual thing when such interruption was due to the breaking warded over the naval radio system but this time there was nothing doing" whether by reason of red tape or official "off1ciousness' no one ap- pears to know definitely. It Is sug- gested that the latter was the case, as it is known that suggestions made by the local Signal Corps officials that messages be routed via St. Paul Is- land and the naval radio stations were frowned upon by the chief something or-other at Gibbon, one Collins. who appears to be of that class of official high mghtinesses who dismiss public inconveniences with that eloquent phrase: "The public be d----d!" At least he is said to have replied to the suggestion with the statement that he did not consider it advisable" to route Nome messages over the naval route.
