GREENLAND
 CONSIDERS FREE
 TRADE FOR ESKIM0S

Copenhagen, April 29.-The Danish government is trying to formulate a new system of government for it's col ony of Greenland but the Royal Com mission appointed for that purpose has been unable thus far to agree whether the Eskimos of that far northern land shall be allowed to have free trade with all nations
 King Christian is to visit Green land in June, the first time a Danish King has ever visited that colony. and the Commission hopes to reach an agreement in time to enable him to announce the new plan of govern ment when he is greeted by the Els kimGS.
 A well known Greenland explorer, who is not a member of the Com mission, told the correspondent that ore section of the Commission was holding out for free trade between the Greenland Eskimos and the nationals of all countries. This section" he added, rightly says that the present system of the Danish state granting a monopoly to single company, even if this company is mana ged by Dan- ish state officials and for all practical purposes is government depart mcnt, is a direct violation of all dem Ocratic principles.
 Without any mpetition, no com pany, and particularly a company

managed by state officials could pos sibiy be expected to obtain for prod uctS of the natives the same high open market. Monopoly never bred efficiency.
 "On the other hand, the other sec ton of the Royal Commission asserts that the Eskimo is a child and must be treated like a. child, that intoxicat- ing liquor and other of the blessings of civilization must be kept away from him, or he will go to rack and ruin.
 Every Greenland settlement has been visited by illegal traders who have shamelessly taken advantage of the confiding nature of the Eskimos. For a bottle of vile spirits, or row of glass beads these traders have robbed the natives of bearSkins and other products of great value.

 Eugene V. Debs. long prominent

 Dividing 6 to }, the court held that Judge Landis of Chicago was in eligible to conduct the trial and should have retired on the filing of an affidavit by the defendants charg- ing him with personal bias and prejudice because of the nativity of certain of them"

Louis Engdahl and Erwin St. John Tucker, writers and lecturers, natives of the United States and claiming to be not of inn mediate German descent.
 The sole question before the su- Dreme court was whether Judge Lan- dis had erred in continuing to sit n the case after defense council has fled properly drawn affidavit of Six members of the court Chief Justice White, held hat he did. Three other members. Justices Day, Pitney and Mickey | lolds. held he did not and filed dissenting opinions.
 The affidayits filed by Berger and others set forth as proof of Judge | -andis personal bias remarks he made in passing sentence on August a German-American, on November l, 1918. Judge Landis gas alleged to have said:
 "One must have very judicial
 mind indeed not to be prejudiced
 against the German-Americans in
 this country. Their hearts are
 reeking with disloyalty. This de- i'
 fendant is the kind of man that
 spreads this kind of propaganda (
 and it has spread until it has af- : tested practically all of the Ger \ mans in this country"

K|DNAPERS ADMIT THEY STOLE WIFI: OF 1. 4. MAN
By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3l.-Arthul W. Carr and Floyd L. Carr, cousins confessed kidnapers of Mrs. Gladys Witherell, wife of O. S. Witherell investment company president. plead ed guilty in the superior court late today. Sentence was deferred until Wednesday,.
 A plan to have the men sentenced at once so they could be started for the penitentiary tonight, was aban- doned when the prisoners asked for counsel. saying they wished to pro duce evidence 'in mitigation of their offense." Reports to Chief of Police Pendergast that there was a bad feeling" in Hollywood over the ab- duction, caused the authorities to decide on an immediate disposition of the case.
 The Cars said they were willing to plead at once and were taken to the court house under heavy guard. They were given a preliminary hear ing before a justice of the peace, who held them to answer to the su- periOr court The justice questioned both men and they admitted having taken Mrs. Witherell 10 an isolated ranch house near Corona, where she was found early today. Then the two were taken to the superior court where Judge Reeve sat in special session to receive their pleas. Both pleaded guilty but Floyd Carr ask ed that sentence be deferred. We would like to have counsel so we can present mitigating evidence" he told the court Judge Reeve con tinued the case. !
 Floyd Carr made a confession late today, according to the police, in which he said he planned the kidnapping and lurcd Mrs. Witherell from her home last Tuesday night by telling her she was wanted by someone injured in an automobile accident Carr, the police said, told them he took Mrs. Witherell into a car with his cousin and himself and they drove away. When Mrs. With erell realized the situation and at tempted to break away Floyd Carr seized her and applied a handker- chief soaked in chloroform to her face. It was the statement of Floyd . Carr and his expressed willingness to plead guilty that caused the police to decide on an immediate arraign- ment.
 Carr, who was captured late last night, was completing at that time a telephone call to the Witherell res idence in which a demand for ran som was made.
