POLITICS WARMING UP

Representative B. B. Collins, of Fairbanks, is a candidate for surveyor general and expects to receive the endorsement of his division. He is a staunch Republican, was speaker of the house for one term and would un- doubtedly make good territorial off, cial.
 Jack Tansey, committeeman from Seldovia, writes the Cordova Republi. can Club that he heartily endorses the candidacy of George c. Hazelet for governor of Alaska, and in doing so has followed the example of practical 1y every committeeman in the terri tory.
 The office of United States marshal has attractions far beyond that of gov- ernor, If one may judge by the num- Der of aspirants for the position now held by our friend, the "Jedge." About score of Fairbanks Republicans have signified their willingness to step into Marshal Erwin's shoes but there appears to be only one applicant in the field for governor in the whole tsrritory.-Nenana News.

It must be said to the credit of Fourth division Democrats that they played the game squarely during the late campaign. Over in Anchorage the voters were baited with an open town for week or more before cleo ton. Nothing was barred-not even "mule," and the impression was per mitted to go abroad that things would continue that way if the Democrats won. But they didn't. Nenana News.

Nicaraguan Found Living Like Hermit After He Took

HUNT MAN TWO YEARS
Narcisco ArelIano confesses Daring Attempt to Defraud American Con- panies-Sought Milion-Risk Companies Wrote Him Up
 for $25o,oO0.

New York.-An attempted life in- surance fraud involving S25O,0OO. which began with applications for $l,OOO,OOO insurance from American and Canadian life companies by Mar cisco Arellano, member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of the republic of Nicaragua, who simu- lated suicide and concealed himself for nearly two years in a hermit mountain retreat until a New York investigator ferreted out his hiding place, was described by insurance of f1cials recently. Robert L. Barnes, an e1-army man of Washington, who caught Arellano, has brought back a written confession from Arellano, and a story Of his maintaining trip in the wilds of Nicaragua that amazed in- surance officials.
 In February, 1917, scores of insur- ance companies here and In Canada received applications simultaneously for large amounts of life risks on the person of Narcisco Arellano, said A. T. Pickford of the law department of the New York Life Insurance con- pany.
 Such Investigation as the different companies made at that time showed that Arellano had been a merchant in his native city, Brenda, Nicaragua. His family connections were all prom in ioI i,, republic.
 Sought a Million.
 However, the various insurance companies would not accept the ap- plicatioEs for the full amount asked for.
 The numerous policies finally issued aggregated $25O,OO0, one-quarter of the total sought. The policies were made payable to his wife and son and to his estate.
 Some months afterward reports reached insurance officials that Arel- lano had disappeared. Then came what purported to be official confirma- ton of his death.
 MT. Pickford went to Nicaragua to investigate. as proof of death was not convincing. There Mir. Pickford

SELECTION OF
 TEXT BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS

The territorial text book commis. sion which was created by the last legislature and recently met at Jul Uneau, has an important part to play in the development of the Alaska pub lie schools. It's duties are to select a uniform set of text books for use in the elementary schools of the terri tory, and approved list of text books in each subject listed in the high school curriculum.
 The members of the text book com mission are Lester D. Henderson, com missioner of education, who is ex- officio chairman; w. A. Knox, for the past three years superintendent of the Ketchikan schools, and Miss Emma Keever, who has for two years been superintendent of the Cordova schools.
 The commission has secured data relative to the text books now in use
  states, and has, since it's creation last states, and has, since it's creation last May, been examining leading text books with a view to securing only the best for use in Alaska.
 Text books now in use in the schools of the territory which do not conform to the regular adoptions will be re- H turned to the various publishing houses some time during the coming summer, and new books purchased. According to the terms of the agree ment which will be entered into be- tween the commission and the pub fishers, old books on any subject may be changed for the adopted text on payment of but a part of the regular purchase price"
 Text books will be adopted for a period of four years. The law pro- period of the original adoption no more than one-fourts of the books may be changed during any one year. In the past text books have been se- lected by school boards and teachers, and frequent changes have been made. The selection of a certain text has also many times taken place without the careful consideration which is due so important matter. It is expected that the present arrangement will re- suit iii the use of a uniformly higher grade of text books in many of the public schools of the territory.

The death of Arellano was reported in November, 1917. Barnes worked for months to find a trace of evidence to disprove the Lake Nicaragua re- port. friend of ArellanO, who had been in the boat with him, insisted that Arellano had been drowned in the lake. But Barnes got hint and finally some admissions from this in- formant, which started him on the trail that led to the finding of Arel- Iano, living like a hermit in remote mountain section some distance from Nicaragua, capital of the republic.
 To save himself he made the writ ten confession to Barnes.

APPEAR IN
PERSON FOR LICENSE

ANNAPOLIS. March 26.-By vote yes
terday, so to Il, the Maryland House
passed to the second reading the
Eppler-Joseph marriage hill. In speak
ing of the bill Mr. Joseph said:
Il feel very gratined at having finally
passed a substantial amendment TO the
marriage laws which I believe will do
a great deal toward eliminating the
evils which have been so prevalent In
the past. Since 1914 have introduced
at each session Of the General Assem-
bly, a marriage bin in the hope Of cor
recting the evils which have placed a
stain upon Maryland's good name
THE amendments proposed raise the
age Of consent from i6 TO IS years OF
age fer the female and make It obliga-
tory for one Of the contracting parties
TO appear in person before the marri-
age clerk IN order to obtain the license.
There is no question in my mind, but
what many OF the infant and objection
able marriages were caused by the par
ties desiring to evade the law securing
some irresponsible person TO secure the
license for them. This irresponsible
person would simply swear that the
answers given TO the questions prepar-
ed by the clerk were true to the best Of
their knowledge and belief and the only
knowledge they possessed was tnat
given them by the party desiring to
evade the law. No one could be charged
with perjury
BY the adopted amendment the con-
tracting party. swearing falsely to the
statements can be convicted for per-
jury. This viii deter many from seek
ing TO obtain a license unlawfully.
Il believe that the bill as passed VIII
