FIRST VICTIM
IN FAR NORTH
slavey indian Hanged In the
First Legal Execution in the
Canadian WiIds.

EDMONTON. Canada. March
1.-The arm Of the law reached
out from Edmonton. the capital
Of Alberta. into the heart Of the
unexplored Mackenzie basin Of
the far Canadian Northwest. and
called to account Albert lie Beaux.
full-blooded Slavey Indian. for
the murder of his wife and child.
This was the first legal execution
in the northwest territory Of Cam
ada.
Not many years ago punish
ment would have been left to
tribal justice. or more likely to
relatives Of the murdered woman,
but when oil and gold were found
in the Mackenzie basin the white
man came and brought white
mans law and justice. together
with the royal Canadian mounted
police.
First wife Disappeared.
Albert Le Beaux was a good
hunter employed by the Catholic
mission at Fort Providence. When
winter came he would move his
camp to the bush, squaw and dogs
following, and when he made his
kill OF moose or caribou. sleigh.
loads were made up and brought
to the mission.
Once before Albert had arrived
without his squaw. his first wife.
He simply stated she died In the
bush and he had buried her there.
This was seven years ago. He
married again soon. When his sQuaw
rave birth to a child he refused TO
acknowledge II as his own. With
the thermOmeter registering 20 de-
grees below zero. he forced the
mother to pat her newborn child
outdoor. where Il froze within few
minutes.
Then, according to the evidence.
he tried to induce a twelve-year.old
Rirl who stayed with them to Kill
his wife, promising 70 marry her.
The young girl refused. A few days
later Albert went 70 the mission and
reported his wife had committed sui
cide by shooting herself.
The mounted police were notified
and one OF them went with Albert
to view the body. The woman was
found in the snow. a shawl covering
head and shoulders. a gun sup
ported by two forked sticks In
front Of her. and the skull was
smashed In and perforated by q
bullet.
Autopsy Shows Murder.
Every sign pointed to murder.
Albert's tracks were the only ones
near the scene. He was arrested
and brought 10 Edmonton. 1000
miles distant. for a hearing. Seven
hundred miles up the Mackenzie
river the Slave and the Athabaska
were made by dog teams and the
last 800 miles by the railroad con-
Meeting MacMurroy with Edmonton.
The body Of the woman was strap
ped to a cariole and brought as far
as Fort Smith. where the govern
ment doctor performed the autopsy.
The nature OF the skull wounds ex-
cluded self.inflictment.
Albert was bound for trial, and as
all the witnesses were at Fort Provi-
dence the government thought II
better to hold the trial there. Albert
was returned In custody of the
mounted police.
When the rivers were ice free the
judicial party. including Judge Du.
buc. the crown prosecutor. the clerk
Of the court and the attorney for the
defendant made the 1,0o0-mile jour-

LISTEN LESTER'
 OPENS TONIGHT
Sparkling Musical Show Opens at Jefferson for
 Three Performances

Listen Lester" whirl of fun and frivollty, will open tonight at the Jeff ferson for two nights and matinee Tuesday, with it's first performance here. This delightful musical show. comes to the local theatre from years run at the Knickerbocker in New York, where it was one of the marked musical comedy successes.
 To be exact Listen Lester" might be credited with years dance in- stead of a years run, for, from the moment the curtain rises on the first scene, everything dances to happy and dancey ending, wherein an im- portant packet of letters, which is in itself the danciest and most elu- sive think in the play is returned to its rightful owner.
 Meanwhile, the feet, and what is more important, the hearts of the spectators are dancing merrily along in time to the music and all personal troubles are forgotten.
 The story is jolly and entertaining, the lyrics are rhythmic and full of swing. the music is tinkly and tune ful. the scenery is artistic. the cos tuning is effective. and the chorus is the daintiest and danciest that .ever took an audience by storm. The cast includes prominent musical com edy faVorites.

"A NIGHT IN HONOLULU"
 AT JEFFERSON THURSDAY

"A Night in fHonoiulu, WhlCn comes to the Jefferson Thursday night for three nights and a matinee Saturday, is a new Hawaiian play on the same lines as the ever popular Bird of Paradise" the Hawaiian play that has been seen so many times in this city.
 However, there is more music, dancing and singing in the play than in "The Bird of Paradise" and the story is entirely different. It is a story of the life of native girl dancer, and Hulu- Hulu dancers. na- tive ukulele players and Hawaiian singers make up the atmosphere of the Paradise of the Pacific" the scenery in the second act showing the moonlight on the water Is espe- cially true to life and makes one long for a pretty girl and a canoe. and the eruption of the volcano in the last act is another big feature of the very excellent scenic production that has been provided by the management. In fact, "A Night in Honolulu" is a likab1e. never dragging. laughter provoking play with plenty of real comedy and excellent dancing, with enough of good music and with more than the usual modicum of plot. Una Carpenter as the heroine Is "as the fellow says good, better than good, in looks and also in talent and "A Night in Hoi A,as" IS the hig excep- , tion of the saas offsi3u s--a real good show.

The summer session of I!

Tne summer session Of 192l Of the American conservatory, Chicago, will offer to the professional musician. whether engaged in concert work or teaching, and to the advanced stu dent unusual opportunities, by the engagement of such artists as David Bispham and Joseph Ihevinne. It is of vital importance to the profess sional to receive new impressions, en- large his viewpoints and enjoy the stimulation for renewed effort For this purpose the American conserva- tory presents the services of masters of international fame, supported by a faculty. including many of Amer icas most distinguished artist-in- structors.
 Joseph Lhevinne, who will appear here Wednesday,, January 4, for the first time under the auspices of the Birmingham Music Study club. is to be one of these artist-instructors. Joseph Lhevinne, whose frequent recitals have been one of the sen- sations of the present musical sea- classes in artistic plano playing at the American conservatory and will undoubtedly repeat the extraordinary success of the 1920 esason. It is in- deed a rare event that a great artist will consent to devote any of his time for the benefit of aspiring piano students, and still rarer that a great virtuoso is equipped in the same high degree both for public perform ances and instruction.

 Free Republic
 "rhe Japanese plan to create a free republic in the east, under the pro- tectorship of Japan, is comprehen- sible to us, and the French govern meHt will give it's support to that plan by all means. especially as we believe that the Japanese governmei t will take into consideration our iu- terests in the Chinese Eastern rail- way; Manchuria and our interests in concessions. We consider necessary. therefore to be well informed of all the details of the Darien conference, so as to come to Washington suffi- ciently prepared. 1t would be advis- able to send such delegation which would be capable of working out 2ll the details. With regard we would advise you to consult our represen- tative.
 "Japan's plan to evacuate Siberia our government regards as premature and dangerous, If we take into con sideration that the communistic re- gime in Russia is reaching it's end, complete collapse can be expected at any time. There is no need of sending our troops against the bol- shvlsk. or of taking any other step. The chaos, the general situation, our attitude of expectation and the ter rible famine have ruined Russia. The east will also be influenced by this crisis. The chaos would be extended to Siberia, and in this respect we need the help of Japan. Because of these considerations, we consider the evacuation as premature. Japan must also participate in the restoration of Russia. We are ready for the down fall and restoration.
 Disciplined Armies
 Well disciplined and equipped armies are now stationed in Hungary and Jugo-S Slavia, who are ready 10 invade the country at any moment to restore order and to give their as sistance to the old monarchic regime. When that has been done, our aims shall be accomplished: Russia will be free and our common interests easily realized. The French government hopes that at this moment. when the fate of new Russia is being decided, Japan will not put any obstacles and the French government will readily defend the interests of Japan in every respect.

SENATOR HEFLIN ATTACKS GOVERNMENT TAX BILL IN
 ADDRESSING CONDUCTORS
(Conttnued from Page one)

(Conttnued from Page One) Locomotive Engineers of the Louls- vile and Nashville system, gave d short address previous to the install lation.
 Before leaving for Washington Sem ator Heflin was queried with regard to the Henry Ford Muscle Shoals question.
 Wants New Form
 Secretary of War Weeks, in a letter to Senator Heflin. replying to one asking him to present the south with acceptance of the Ford offer for Mus cle Shoals, declares that his present effort Is to have the Ford offer come in better shape and In a more eco- homie form than in the original offer made by MT. Ford. That is what am trying to accomplish"
 The letter was addressed to Senator Heflin at Washington and was for warded to him after he came home for the holidays. Just prior to Christmas Senator Heflin wrote Secretary Weeks letter in wkich he suggested the appropriateness of a Christmas gift to the farmers of the nation in the form of acceptance of the Ford offer.
 Weeks, Letter
 MT. Weeks reply follows: tsEapafar Tbo,,,aa
 My Christmas present to the south must come a bit late this year. as- sume that locality would be quite content to have the demonstration come later if it can come in better shape and in more economical form than the original offer made by Mir Ford.
 That Is what am tryinN to do."
 Ford Has Chance
 Speaking of the Ford offer yester- day. Senator Heflin, who was visiting his brothers in the city, said: q feel that Ford has fair chance to obtain Muscle Shoals. There Is a great deal of opposition from many sources, but so far he has the lead.
 Shoals Safe fin Senate
 If Secretary Weeks finally throws up the matter and sends it to Con- StSSo iOt dStioAs lcel COHVlnCeQ that development of the Shoals is safe so far as the Senate is concerned. un- derwood and I feel assured that we can put it over in that body The problem will be. as 1t was before in the lower house, where we met our last defeat.
 T think great deal of Secretary Weeks Politically, I am, of course opposed to him, but he is very much of man and I cannot but have re- spect for him as an official.
 As I say. believe Ford has fair chance to acquire Muscle Shoals, but If he does secure 1t. 1t will have been after very active opposition.
