GOLD CUP REGATTA
 TAKES PLACE DETROIT

DETROIT, May 27. - Competition for flying boats may be one of the features of the annual Gold Cup re- gatta, to be held here September 1, 2, 3 and 4. The question will be de- cided soon, it is announced, at con- ference between Commondore Fred R. Still, chairman of the regatta commit tee, and Colonel s. D. Waldron, pres ident of the Detroit Aviation Society.
 The suggestion has been made that the flying boat races for the Curtiss Trophy be combined with the Gold Cup program.
 The Gold Cup regatta program, as announced last autumn, has been al tered because of the lack of a chal- lenge for the British International

OFFICIALS OF CAPITOL, ARE
 DUE IN JUNE

Assistant Secretary of. Commerce c. H. Huston and seven or eight other officials from Washington will reach Juneau on June 22 oil a tour which will cover a large part of the Territory, according to advices received by Col James G. Steese. In the party will be representatives of the Treasury, Navy and State Departments and probably of others, said Colonel Steese. ! The date of the party's departure from Seattle was not given in the tele- gram received by Colonel Steese, but cated that it would probably be early in June. It was said then that it was MT. Huston's intention to survey the fisheries industry in Southeastern Alaska, indicating that a number of stops might be made in this district of the Territory.
 The itinerary of the party shows that it will visit Prince William Sound ports, the Interior as far as Fairbanks, Alaska railroad points and down the Alaska Peninsula and to Nome by the way of the Pribiloff Isl ands. From Nome the officials will probably return to Seattle and back to Washington.
 Colonel Steese will take the party from Juneau either to Cordova or Val deg and go over the Richardson High way in automobiles to Fairbanks. From Fairbanks the party will go to Nenana and thence over the Alaska Railroad to Anchorage and Seward, They will then go by boat to the Prib- iloffs and Nome.
 Early this spring orders were issued for the Unalga to be in readiness at Juneau in June to take party of off cials to the Pribiloff Islands. It was understood at that time that this was Secretary Huston and his associates. Recently these orders were cancelled and it is thought that some other yes sel of the Coast Guard patrol will be used for the trip.

The Canyon Creek Development Corporation is a large concern and employees a large number of men, They are badly handicapped by the lack of roads to their property. A large ship ment of machinery was recently re- ceived, and it has been found gigan- tic task to convey it and the seasons supplies from the railroad to the mine This property is situated upon what might be termed a natural roadway to Hope on Cook Inlet, and the con- struction of a good road to this dis trict would tap an immensely fertile tract, and throw thousands of dollars in trade to Seward. The Primrose mine operating near Seward is con. fronted with the same condition. The cost of a road to the mine would be excessive to the company, and yet roads are necessary to haul in their and supplies. Both mines are in the producing class and both should be encouraged to the extent of our ability. Roads and trails are our most important needs.

air and on the ground, the Davenport
family of riders, the Azuki Japs, Camp
bell Bailey Hutchinson herd of perform
ing elephants. Rochetta, the man who
walks on his head, and score of other
acts. The clowns number rs and include
some of the funniest testers known. Al
most three hours of solid enjoyment is
given those who attend. and this is aug
mented by thrilling Wild West exhibit
ton entitled THE Passing of the West. -
The Campbell ailey-Hutchinson Circus
will give two complete performances at

Norman w. Waters, who conducted a
large mercantile establishment at German

widely known of the younger business men
of the county. died on Wednesday night of
last week. following an illness of only a
few days, in Washington hospital, at the
age of 81 years. He is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Fisher, of Frederick coun-
ty, and both parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Haitian
A. Waters, and sister. Mrs. William Gas
saway. His funeral took place Saturday
from the Jamestown Presbyterian Church,
Of which he was member. The services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev. j. W.
Lowden, and supplemented by the burial
rites of the Masonic fraternity. with prayer
by the chaplain, Rev. o. A. Gillingham.
Further ceremonies at the grave were by
the American Legion of this county and
Washington. In the death of this young
man the county has lost one of its most
progressive business men and one who
served his country with honor in the World
War. An immense throng of relatives and
friends from all parts of the county were
present, many not being able to get in the
church. Testimonials of love and respect
were the large and beautiful display of
floral tributes. To his young wife thus

viii Not Hang.

After overruling a motion for new trial
in the cases of Maurice E. Nokes, of Pooles-
vile district, this county, and William Clar-
ence Pinkett, of Loudoun county. Va, both
colored, who were under sentence of death
for the murder, December 5th last of Frank
Baker, colored, of Poolesville district, Chief
Judge Hammond Urner and Associate
Judge Glenn H. Worthington, in the Cir
cult Court here, on Thursday of last week,
granted motion for modification of the
sentence, and Imprisonment in the Mary
land penitentiary for life was substi-
tuted for the penalty of death by hanging.
Judge Edward C. Peter dissented, explain
ing that in his judgment both merited the
extreme penalty of the law and that if the
Court had erred at all it was in not send
ing to the gallows Irene Baker, wife of the
murdered man. who was also convicted of
first-degree murder as a result of the MUIR
der of her husband and who is now serving
a life term in the penitentiary
In announcing the decision of the Court,
Judge Urner stated that the motion for a
modification of the sentence had been
made at his suggestion. He explained that
almost Immediately after the two men had
been sentenced to be hanged he began to
feel that Notwithstanding that both men
were clearly guilty of a wilful and pre-
meditated murder and had very properly
been found guilty of frst-degree murder,
possibly mistake had been made in i'm
posing the death penalty on Nokes.
Attorney John A. Garrett, who repre-
scented all three of the defendants at the
trial, made strong plea for a change of
sentence. He conceded that all three had
properly been found guilty Of first-degree
murder, but urged that in view of all the
circumstances, the lesser of the two pun
ishments possible under such verdict be
imposed.
Baker was killed in his home near
Poolesville while asleep in his bed He
was struck on the head with an ak and
his body was afterward carried by Nokes
and Pinkett to the Potomac river. nearby
and thrown in.
