Dastardly
 Murder at
 Petersburg
NelS Peterson Is Shot in the Back and Killed by George Nelson, a Barber A Wo- man in the Case.

PETERSBURG - George Nell son, a barber and business man here shot and killed Nels Peter son, night watchman at the Pe- tersburg Packing company plant, at 4:15 o'clock Saturday after noon.
 Peterson was sitting in the Lo- tus playing cards with Chester Johnson when Nelson walked in and going toward the men shot Peterson in the back. The latter ran into the street and about a half block away fell in front of the Citizens Steam laundry. He died within two minutes after being taken to the Petersburg hospital, internal hemorrhages being the immediate cause of death.
 An inquest was held Saturday night at which the coroners jury returned verdict that Peterson came to his death as the result of a gunshot wound inflicted by Nell son.
 A message was sent to United States Marshal George Beaumont informing him of the murder, and also advising him that feeling against Nelson was running high. Major Beaumont was at Sitka when he received the message. He cabled U. s. Deputy Marshal Thomas Dalgity of Wrangell to proceed to Petersburg. Both Beaumont and Dalgity reached Petersburg Tuesday afternoon.
 A preliminary hearing was held and Nelson was bound over to await the action of the grand jury. The Seattle being in port Tuesday Major Beaumont lost no time in transferring the prisoner. He detailed Thomas Dalgity to take the prisoner to Juneau where he will be placed in jail.
 At the preliminary hearing A. H. Zeigler of Ketchikan appeared as attorney for the defendant. A. E. Maltby, assistant prosecu- tor of Ketchikan, appeared for the Government.
 For some months there has been bad blood between Nelson and Peterson. Itis reported that Nelson and Peterson's wife have been friends during the past year. Some months ago Mrs. Peterson brought suit against her husband for divorce, and since that time Nelson's attentions to Mrs. Peter son have been becoming more constant. Soon after the divorce was filed Peterson and Nelson had trouble that ended in a aphysi. cal encounter in which Nelson was injured. Since then Nelson is reported to have made numer- ous threats that he would kill Pe- terson.
 The murder was premeditated. On Monday before the killing Nelson bought the gun with which he did the shooting from a clerk in Petersburg store. This in formation was disclosed through the efforts of Major Beaumont. who by cross questioning the woman in the case elicited the in. formation which she at first sought to conceal.
 Whatever the provocation may or may not have been the murder appears to have been committed in a most cowardly manner. Mel son quietly walked up behind Pc terson while the latter was play ing a game of cards. He had hi: gun in his coat pocket, and with out taking it out, shot through

Cuban Revolt Scare.

IF the story of Eduardo Herrera, young Co
lombian oil proprietor, told recently upon his
arrest at Dallas, Tex, is to be believed, Cuba
has just escaped revolution
President Zayas of the Island republic, was
to have been assassinated the launching Of
great revolt plot hatched in the basement OF
New York East Side hotel by anarchist leaders
who sent Herrera to Cuba TO instruct the confed-
crates, according to the prisoner. The fact that
the assassination of President Caranza Of Mexico
was performed by Herrera lends an eere frank
ness to the story that has been causing a furry
throughout Cuba and the United States. The New
York police and the Secret Service posted by
telegraph upon the arrest OF Herrera and the
strictest vigilance has been established by the po
lice at New Orleans from which port there has
been considerable Cuban traffic of rather myster-
Gus purposes since the Cuban elections. In view
of the descriptions in Cuban politics for the past
tons in their embryonic state it is regarded as
nitions to be sent from these shores to the An
titles, but there is still the possibility that revolu
tionsts who may have been active previous to the
Zayas controversies received and hid quantities OF
firearms possibly from Jamaica Spain
The Cuban authorities put their guard
by cable, and search of the island is being made
for the anarchists who were to have preciptated
the uprising. The possibility that Herrera's story
is camoufage for other movement, either
against Cuba or Mexico, has been taken into
sideration. 1t has its significance in either case,
and the United States government is interested to
the extent of learning whether the radicals in
any way concerned in American plots.

OF corse there have been inequalities IN the

But il requires TIME to understand the difficulties
and work out the remedies. Congress has given
much time to the problems and the long and Bit
ter debates that have marked Congressional action
on tariff and agricultural relief legislation have
been productive of understanding. Government I'M
vestigatons have aided Congress. Several meas
ures are to be enacted which augHr prompt and

work in the fields and the absence of any further
serious crippling of manufacture have encouraged
sthe public to expect fall revival of the most
cheerful kind. Thousands of the unemployed have
found work on the farms and there clamor is miss

TITO what extent is the Federal Reserve Board

in the United States Senate a few days ago that
while this country is exacting smaller rates OF
interest from debters abroad and is considering
tensions of time, rediscount rates farm paper of
and per cent are being charged while there is
practically $2,33ooooooo idle in the Federal banks,
with industry and commerce stagnant, farm loans

absolutely denied the credit necessary for their
preservation and interest rates on business con-

the Senate, "the big SPECTATORS in New York City
have been handed OUT money by the hundreds of
millions for operation in all kinds OF schemes at
rates of S, s and ! per cent. If thio money had
been distributed among farmers it would have
saved great distress and many suicides"
Senators Smith,, of South Carolina and HeAn,
Of Alabama, assailed the Federal Reserve Board
and asked how much longer it would be permitted
TO have its way. Criminal negligence and partial
ity to the gambling interests were laid at its door
and specific instances of financial disorder were

tries upon the securities which they have, that
they purchase our surplus products this ques-
ton could be solved very easily. The trouble,
however, is that world condition exists that never

money Of the United States There lies the trouble
and the cause of our own distress People think
it is very easy proposition to pass tariff bill
under conditions existing in the world today, but
say it is the most difficult thing that

BUILT 1T WITH POTATOES
How the Citizens of Patricia, Alberta,
Obtained Their Much Needed
Town Hall.

Patricia needed a town hall. Being
only two years old, this was problem
to the infant village in the southern
Alberta prairies. Ways and means
were discussed. It was finally decided
to build it with potatoes.
Twenty acres were plowed and
planted to spuds. Breaking the land,
seeding and cultivating were all done
by volunteers. Everybody took hand.
The community potato patch now
promises a heavy crop.
The entire town tends it. When the
first potato plant peeped above ground
it was a municipal event. The town
fathers called a mass meeting to take
action when vagrant rooster
scratched up a plant. Discovery Of a
weed that had escaped the community
hoes caused as much excitement as a
fire alarm. The potato patch is looked
after as tenderly as if it were the
towns baby.
Two years ago the entire country
abont Patricia was open prairie with
not a human habitatiOn in the round
Of the horizon. The first house was
built in 1919. Today there are 10000
acres under cultivation.

Annual forest cutting in New Eng
land and New York is approximately
$4,000 cords, and at this rate the
supply will last approximately II
years, says 1.-THE Permanent Builder"
(Chicago) in it's cooperation with the
American Forestry association for a
national forest policy: Estimated an
nual cutting in the Lake states is
100000 cords, and if continued will
exhaust the supply in that region
within Is years the statement says.
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
and North Carolina, with their smaller
forest resources are even worse off;
the annual cutting being calculated at
1,470,OOO cords, at which rate the
spruce, helnlock and fir will last but
spruce, hemlock and fir will last but
ten years. Only in Alaska, Washing
tor, Oregon, and California are the
reserves in no immediate danger of
exhaustion if the cutting continues at
the present rate of 2,218,O0O cords a
year.
