 The admission of the prisoner as tt her identity was made after she ha( been closeted for several hours witt her local attorney.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION ASSURED

The assurance given by J. B. ReheE of the Bureau of Public Roads, thai work will be started on the Hope Sunrise trail from Mile 29, will be goot news to the many mining interests developing properties along this i'm portant trail. Perhaps two to three hundred people will be served by the construction of this road, exclusive oi the population at the mining camps al Hope and Sunrise Many fine proper ties are located along Canyon creek and other points, adjacent to the trail and all are dependent upon the tral for transportation of supplies and ma chineTy.
 Many districts in Alaska have fal outstripped road construction, and this district is one of them. With commit nication opened up between the rall way and these camps an efficient maj service can be installed, by pack horse in summer and dogsled in winter. This service has already been recommendeo by Chief Clerk Alvah Flames, and Il this is done. the district will advance yet more rapidly.

have been written by Phillips. her hus- band, was the medium by which l-ol identity was admitted.
 When the sheriff appeared at the jail with the letter the woman refused to accept it, insisting she was Clara Mcclure.
 After being closeted three hours with her attorney she sent word she was ready to come clean" to the sher- if. Well" said Sheriff Traeger, ''wt will now leave for Los Angeles"
 "Tickled to death," said Mrs. Phil lips.
 Traeger then tore open the envelope addressed to Mrs. Phillips and handed the woman a sheet of folded yellow paper, written on one side only.
 Mrs. Phillips moved over to a cor ner of her cell. In few seconds, nc longer than for cursory glance she turned a smiling face to the neWspa perman and officials.
 You may talk to me all you want, was her next remark. But all ques- tions in regard to the staying were barred by her attorney.
 "Oh yes, I will tell you that" she replied in answer to question as to how long she had been married. T was married nine years ago."
 "I have no children" she continued "I was married to A. L. Phillips ln Houston, Texas"
 One of the newspapermen asked II she would tell her maiden name. On advice of her attorney she declined on the Dretext that she had many rela- lives living in Fl Paso, and other cit ies near here.
 The basement cell where the inter- view took place was hot, in spite ol being underground. Mrs. Phillips used her handkerchief freely, wiping her forehead and twitching her handker- chief nervously. Her winning smile however, was never lacking.
 Rings found upon the person Of the woman when she was arrested have been the cause of considerable specu- lation. Three diamonds and one pearl ring and two cameos are included in the collection.
 Are these your rings" was asked

Aroused No Jealousy

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Aug. l. There is no justification for the belief that Mrs. Alberta Meadows, who was slain Wednesday near Los Angeles was murdered because she aroused the jealousy of Mrs. Clara Phillips under arrest charged with the alleged crime, according to Lillian Meadows of Los Angeles. who is visiting hel sister here.
 Mrs. Meadows and 1 met MT. and Mrs. A. L. Phillips about three months ago at the home of Mrs. Julia NIGEL roy, 325 West Forty-seventh place, Los Angeles. Mrs. McElroy was mutual friend of my sister-in-law and the Philips. We met once or twice but our acuuaintance with the Phillips was never more than speaking one At no time to my knowledge did my sister-in-law ever cone into intimate association with the Phillips.
 rHaving lived with Alberta for some time I knew her habits and tastes as well as any one could know them. There is absolutely no justice in the belief she was murdered because she aroused the jealousy of Mrs. Phillips. Alberta was not that kind of a girl. She lived a simple, ordinary life, espe- cially following the death of her hus- band, and she was a woman who took great care in choosing and making friends.
 Alberta and I worked in the same bank, during the time lived with her. After completing the days work we usually spent our evenings riding in Alberta's coupe or else went to visit my two brothers. The fact that Alber- ta was not in her apartment on the night Mrs. Phillips is supposed to have made a secret visit was not unusual for she quite often stayed at the home of her father or visited my brothers. Her married life had been very happy so far as I know"
 Her slight acquaintance with Miss Phillips, Miss Meadows said, made her believe that she was an emotional woman and one who lost her temper on the slightest pretext. It is her opinion that Mrs. Phillips without any justification conceived the idea that her husband was attentive to Mrs. Meadows and brooded over it until she developed a homicidal mania. Miss Meadows believes the woman might have been insane at the time of con- mitting the act.

SEWARD is badly in need of small cottages and homes. Practically ev- cry house in the town is filled and there is many inquiries from prospec' tive residents. To rent quickly these houses should be furnished, and many of the newcomers have no furniture and desire only cottages that are al- ready equipped for housekeeping. The local capitalist who would erect a dozen or 50 small homes, close in, would derive considerable revenue from them.

ton

Washington, D. C.-President Hard
ing's veto Of the soldiers bonus has
produced more public discussion than
any other Washington event of recent
months. G. o. P. newspaper editors
quite generally take the attitude OF
praising the president for his great
courage in turning down the pleas OF
the returned soldiers as expressed in
the bonus bill
On the other hand, soldier spokes-
men, progressive editors, and candi-
dates who are running against mem
bers of the G. o. F. now in office, quite
generally condemn the president.
Harding's alleged reason for turning
down the bonus bill was that congress
had not provided the means Of raising
the revenue, but it seems unreason-
able to the average citizen interested
In the matter, to believe that congress
was so foolish to provide for expenses
without in some measure taking care
of it.
1t seemed apparent to political OBJ
servers many months ago that the G.
o. ?. could mot put through the sol
dier's bonus bill Their reason for
thinking so was that big business
would not support soldiers bonus
to which a sales tax was not attached.
Few congressman would have dared to
vote for a sales tax preceding the
November elections. Big Business was
opposed to selling of bonds for the
purpose, also because it saw in sucn
sale an imitation of national credit
which would revive business some
what and take many debtors out Of its
power
A strenuous campaign has been
waged by the large business interests
under the leadership Of U. s. Chamber
of Commerce against soldiers bonus
for over two years and business has
been largely put on record against it.
On the other hand, the soldiers or

knowing that they would not put
through the bonus the G. o. P. have
/ cleverly unanswered the measure sc

credit with the soldiers for voting for

allowed to override the presidents

against the veto knowing that the

PRESIDENT LIKES TARIFF ACT.

President Harding appeared to be
enthusiastic about the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff bill, which he signed on
September 21st. After completing his
signature the president said to Sena-
tor McCumber and Congressman
Fordney: you have been a long
time in the making of this bill / do
not know how many of you are In &C.
cord with me, but If we make the
provisions of this bill elastic, we will
succeed in making it the greatest con-
tribution towards tariff making in a
century"
The feature Of the bill which the
president refers to-, gives the execu-
tive the power to alter tariff rates
within certain limits when the condi-
lions in his Judgment makes such al
terations advisable.
The bill has been long time in
passing because it was unpopular
among large sections of the people.
MeI chants in general have opposed it
because they want to continue import
ing their usual quota of goods. Econ
omists and near-ecopomists have
pointed out that it was foolish for us
to expect Europe to pay her debt to
us and in our farm products, IL we
refused Europe the privilege OF selling
here. The papers controlled by organ
ICED labor in general have opposed the
bill on the plea OF that the tariff
would raise prices to the already over
burdened consumer.
There have been conflicting state
ments as to how farmers in general
stood on the matter, but il the votes
of Western congressman represented
farmer attitude. the farmers would
be classed ais favorable to the new
act. All of Minnesota's congressman
except Congressman Keller, the labor
congressman from st. Paul, voted for
the bill as did the two senators. All
of North Dakpta's representatives ex-
cept Congressman Sinclair voted for
It.
Neither of the authors Of the bill
will again be heard in Congress.
