WiCkerShdn Again
 At Old Tactics

JUNEAU, Jan. 14- Especial to Daily Gateway)- James Wickersham, who recently returned to the territory to become a candidate for governor of Alaska, is peeved over the fact that the Republican organization is almost unanimously in favor of the candidacy of George c. Hazelet, of Cordova, and when National Committeeman Mc- Bride publicly endorsed thUe later Wickersham adopted his old tactics of abuse and issued abatement in the Empire, attacking everybody and everything. He resurrects the Gug- genheim bugaboo, which he flaunt- 6 for years until rebuked by the voters of Alaska and makes a personal and Inwarranted attack on the Republi- can organization of Alaska. H. charges that National Committeeman Mcbride was given big mjorities in ihe Alaska Syndicate precincts at Kennecott and LaTouche, which is not the case, but forgets to mention that the Fourth division, where he formerly resided was carried over whelmingly by Mcbride. Wicker Sham's statement is published in fell. or what it is worth, and is as fol- lows:

Following the adoption of the Bar

Henry Clinton sent up an amendment
striking cut the whole article.
Clinton Calls a Halt
"Mr. President" he said, sit is higl

and laughter in this state. Why with
this very article in the constitution

your nose in this city of Baton Rouge.
We are here to write the organic law
Of this state and it is time we were

Charles Rosen, while admitting
that the article was legislative, de-
clared it to be good public policy to
keep it in the constitution.

not have them whisper along Royal

WILL ASK
DEATH PENALTY
IN MUNDAYC CASE
Slayer of Be-
otrice Kincaid Goes
To Trial.

Winchester. ILL.,, Oct, 31.-Trial of
Edward Munday, 81, for the alleged
killing, June 3, of 10-year-old Bea-
trice Kincaid. on her fathers farm,
where he worked as hired hand,
was called by Judge E. S. Smith in
Scott county circuit court here this
morning.
Questioning of prospective jur-
ors by States Attorney Meyerhof,
and Attorney G. G. Ginnavan for
the defense, brought out that the
jury will be asked to find that
Munday committed a criminal act
with full responsibility, or that he
is an imbeciIe with the mentality
of a 6-year-old.
Is Weak Minded!
Hanging will be the penalty ask
ed by the states attorney. The de-
fense, however, will offer evidence
that Munday's father beat and
kicked his mother three months be
fore he was born, and then abused
him by repeatedly dropping him to
the floor at arms length when he
was 2 months old. This treatment
has had the result of blurring Mum
days sense of right and wrong, the
defense will attempt to prove, so
that while Munday confesses the
crime, he hasn't a mind sufficiently
alert to recognize the sequence of
crime and punishment.
Munday, the defense said, in out
lining the case, had worked on the
Kincaid farm 15 years, and had
cared for the little girl since her
birth.
One Gay he followed her into the
barn and there attacked her. it is
alleged, and strangled her. He aft
erward confessed, and showed
where ne had put the body, in a
water trough.

COURT BARS UNIONS IN WEST VIRGINIA
Washington Conference
Is Biggest Thing Since.
Nations Laid Doun Arms

because police force is needed for
domestic safety and that "reduc-
ton OF armament" and Limitation
of armament" mean two distinct
things. as will be explained here
after.
There's also an inside story of
how the conference came to be
called. 1t throws a good deal of
light on what's going to happen.
This will be told in another dis
patch.
The Paris conference merely
drew up a treaty to end the war.
1t couldn't possibly do everything.
The whole social and economic
fabric of countries both neutral and
belligerent had been torn to pieces.
What Paris failed to do toward re-
constructing the world, the Wash
ington conference will attempt.
The viewpoint at Paris was to get
peace established quickly. The
passion of haste has disappeared.
All the nations meet now IN
calmer and more quiet atmosphere.
The meeting was called to limit
armament and talk over far eastern
questions. but the mission of the
Washington conference is one of
healing. 1t is to be a conference
of reconstruction out of which
should come not merely an under
standing as to the size of armies
and navies, but a better spirit to-
ward the preservation of peace, and
a readjustment of financial bur
dens so that world trade may be

the winters coal bill or household

demic and far afield-something for
the "highbrows" in Washington to
worry about.
But the conference is the biggest
thing that has happened since the
war 1t touches every family, not
only in the United States. but
throughout the world. 1t has a
rather official sounding title-"Con-

expert and he will tell you it means
keeping practically the same size
of navy that each nation has now

which it is pointed out that abso
