By the Associated Press.


EDMONTON. Alberta, July 22.-Out
of the frozen north a member of the
Royal Canadian mounted police has
Just arrived with news of the murder

tor, and five of his tribesmen.

employed by Binder, killed his five
comrades as they lay sleeping one
night last March. The mounted po-
lice trailed him, captured him and
brought him back to Herschell Is
land. where he was Jailed to await
trial for the murders.
Constable Boak was detailed to
guard the Eskimo. One night, as
the officer slept. his prisoner seized
his rifle and killed him. When Bin
der threatened to cut off escape the
Eskimo killed him too.
Making his way back to the tribe
the murderer told his fellows he
had killed seven men and declared
he intended to wipe out the rest
of the island" Twenty-four hours
later the mounted police recaptured
him.
The prisoner may be brought to

high feeling running among his
tribesmen at the Hudson bay post.

Secretary of War and the Secretary
Of the Navy. This office controls the

The, activity of the State. War and
Navy administration in stiffening up
their guard. shortly after july i,
through the discharge of a number of
elderly men, unable to perform prop
er fire protection tasks, and other
guard duties, has created a sentiment
toward similar action in certain other
departments. The Treasury, for in

cial orders to members of its guard,
to be more on the alert, to stand up
as much as possible and to spend less
time sitting down. Comfortable re-
clining chairs with a spring tilt and
leather upholstery have all been
and small straight-back chairs, with
cane bottoms, substituted.
