There are many reports current
as TO how the assault occurred, but
even those near the scene Of action
are unable to give an accurate ac-
count just what caused the stab
bing. The story thought most prob
able by the police is that the Negro
and a companion Of McGrory were
involved in an alteration, result
ing in the Negro being knocked

Immediately sent the description OF
the Negro TO all nearby cities.

the stabbing for several mopths. He
came from Baltimore. He has been

Scott G. Bone is to be the new
governor of Alaska. He is newspaper
man. He was connected with Indian
apolis newspapers from 1881 to 1888,
then with the Washington Post as
news editor and managing editor for
seventeen years. From October, 1905,
to January, 1911, he was editor ana
principal owner of the Washington
Herald, and was editor-in-chief of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer from 1911 to
1918. During the campaign he was
director of publicity for the Republic
can national committee. 1t Is SAID
that his appointment was a compro-
mise in a lively fight. Washington was
full of men who had journeyed all the
way from Alaska to tell President
Harding what to do about it. There
were two groups. One group, repre-
senting what is generally called the
Guggenheim interests, had several can
didates, the best known of whom was
named Hazlitt. This groups OPP

ambassador should arise. Like his
predecessor, Count Won Bernstorf, he
has an American wife. She was

where her home was. She went TO
Hamburg as a child and was married
about 80 years ago. Her husband Is
sixty-one years old.
DR.. Sthamer at the time of his
selection, was the German ambassa-
dor at London. Although there was
naturally little beyond purely formal
intercourse between him and the al

sibly the italian, his relations with the
British foreign office had been easy
and fairly cordial. In fact, he was
so satisfied that 1t was said he would
