SHEINVESTIGATED

A woman was entertaining some friends at small afternoon tea party. Her irrepressible little daughter be- haved faultlessly until the party was nearly over.
 One particular guest had not ceased to arouse the child's curiosity. Final ly she walked twice very slowly around the guests chair.
 Well, dear, what is it?" the guest asked curiously.

ALASKA PESSIMISM

Alaskans have been accused of being pes simists There may be some justification tor the charge Disillusonment and hopes repeat edlv blasted through neglect and lnefflclency on the part of the powers that be, have way of doing much to inculcate an ironic disbehet in the ultimate beneficence of things. Yet Ii the accusation were true, there would be no population left in Alaska today save that Of the non-productive red man and the ubiqul- tons ''no see 'em'' The marvel of 1t IS that the Alaskan is not pessimist. He is an ln- corrigible optimist, for his is the spirit of the rjoneer. who never fails, because as one ot them said, if the strike he's looking for isn't in this particular spot, it's always In the next one That is the spirit typical of the Alaskan the man who, in the face ot every natural handicap and artificial obstruction, is still here, looking confidently for better day. Al aska might fitlv be called the "Manana-and of the North,' for the spirit that anlmates its people is an undaunted faith III tomorrow With Alaskans things are always gong to be better next month, next season, next year. Roads are going to be built, Legislation IS go- ing to be passed, administration IS gong to be improved-t tomorrow You can't down that kind of faith-so long as 1t lasts-and It mas lasted good while up here.
 Its persistence is beginning to bear fruit Things are looking up in Alaska. From all quarters come reports of a good season, ot gradual daily improvement in business condl- tions Operations in the mining districts, the coal fields, the oil regions have very material ly increased over those of year ago. The con- pleton of the Government railway has result ed in increased activities all along the lme Travel has been greater, freight traffic has improved, and mining has benefited by the better facilities. The best season in many years is reported by the fisheries, not the least important of which is the herring industry which this year has taken on large propor- tions Road work has been carried on with eN celent results, and from the coast to the in- terior there prevails general enlivenlng Of business Some relief has been experienced In the easing of restrictions coal and oil lands, and in the enterprises instituted by the Stand ard and Associated Oil Companies in Cold Bay there has been given the greatest impetus to Alaskan development that the Territory has witnessed in many day.
 There is no need for pessimism, and Alas kans feel none If, now and then utterance IS given to sentiments of disgust, it is only the intrepid loyalty of the Alaskan to his own land, of whose welfare and fair treatment on the part of an indifferent too officious Government he is acutely jealous.

 "She can, indeed!" echoed the hus- band, proudly. Come, my dear, show us what you can do. Pretend to be the housemaid.'
 The little girl bowed to one or the guests.
 "Will you take any more chicken ma'am, or a little more beef?' she asked politely.
 Then she turned to another.

 At this the guests were greatly amused.

STRIKE UNNECESSARY AND OBSOLETE

Whatever may may be the outcome of the present strike, it is supplying abundant evi- dence to prove that no public utility strike is ever justifabe, and that the strike as a weap- on to enforce industrial justice is obsolete, futile and entitled only to public execration.
 It happens this time that the strike is pitch ed against bureau of the United States gov ernmen, which is but another name for or ganized civilization, for it is an appeal by force from the decision for an arbitrative trib unal erected by the United States to secure justice.
 Another reason why strikes are obsolete is that they are inseparable from lawlessness and

violence, and lawlessness and violence are re pugnant to every theory of government and to every right-thinking people, And lawless- ness and violence invariably alienate that public sympathy without which no strike can win.
 It is nonsense to attempt to shift responsl- bility for violence, such as has occurred in many places. Such acts of awlessness do not terrorize the public but arouse and anger the public and bring the situation to the point where the government will be compelled to function just as it is expected to function when it's authority is flouted.

ONE OF INDICTED CHICAGO
 LABOR LEADERS ESCAPES

Chicago May 12.-Escape of one of the eight labor leaders indicted on charges of murder in connection with the reign of bomb and gun terrorism and rumors that confessions had been obtained from sev-l eral of the scores of persons still bsins held by the police marked today's inyestt- gation of recent lawless outbreaks which have been blamed by the police on aabo4 warfare in the building trades
 The sudden departure from the police pen of Jerry Horan indicted with Fred, Nader, president of the building and trades council, Big Tim" Murphy, head of the gas workers union and out O. bonds following his conviction and sem tence to prison charge of mail robbery and Cornelius ( Con'') Shea, who directed the 1904 teamsters strike, was the first noted when the indictments were returned today.
 Not knowing of the more serioEs charges pending against Horan, police booked him on adiorderly conduct charge and he was freed on $50 bond. When his absence Was discovered special squads of police were then sent to hunt him, but he is believed to have left the city.
 The admissions obtained from prison CTS, according to the police, directly in
 
 staying of two patrolmen and the wound ing of a third bomber early Wednesday. Of those seized, besides the men under indictment, the majority have been re- l leased because of lack of evidence. 9th CTS obtained their liberty on writs of habeas corpus.
 The action of Judge Joseph David in taking two of the prisoners from the po- ] lice and turning them over to the sheriff 1 precipitated a clash between the judge and Charles Fitzmorris, chief of police The chief in a statement accused the i judge of hampering him in his efforts to wipe out lawlessness. The judge replied with a statement u7braiding Chief Fitz- morris as having mo respect for law, or l der or the constitution"

UTILITIES COMMISSION SEES
 NO TROLLEY FARE CHANGE

Hartford Conn, May 12-The Pub ic Utilities Commission, in a letter to President Lucius F. Storrs presi- dent of the Connecticut Company said Friday that 1t does not at this time deer 1t good public policy to make any general change in the trolley rates of fare outside the test area" of Bridge port and Norwalk. The commission states that there are pending before 1t petitions, affecting rates in Hart ford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Hav- en, Waterbury and New Britain. It feels that continuation of the test with some notifications in both Nor walk and Bridgeport, is justifiable and desirable. It suggests that the install lation of busses on lines which did not pay would lessen the cost of op- eration and permit the extension of service to sections not now being serv- ed and possibly produce additional revenue. The commission adds that the Connecticut Company operated in 1921 with deficit of s1,4eo ,ooo.

that Franch would not oppose the pres ence of Russians This question will be Ironed out tomorrow when the sub-com- mission on Russian affairs meet to con sder the Russian reply
 Should no attempt be made to drop the Russians from the mixed conmis' sion which they themselves proposed, 1t is believed it will seriously endanger the chances of the success of pre-" liminary truce, as the Russians will not adhere to this under such circum- stances The Italian leaders declared tonight that if the conference, as an- ticipated, proves to be the introductory step to the settlement of the Russian problem and the general reconstruction of Europe it will have achieved its pur.- pose and justified it's existence.
 Soviet Russia by it's attitude, in the opinion of the Italians, had lost a golden opportunity at Genoa, but the Genoa con ference would create the machinery to save Russia and Europe.
 It is understood that the feeling strong ly prevails among the leaders that the work of the proposed Russian commits sion must be clearly defined. Indeed 1t Is suggested that this important ques- tion of the power and scope of the in- vestigating board or boards should form the subject of a carefully framed agree ment at Genoa.
 Everybody tonight seems determined not leave this city until something con structive has been accomplished to pre- pare the way for solution of Europe's troubles, because failure and disunior among the powers would only render the general situation perilous. NJ. Tchit cherin left Genoa early this afternoon carrying the truce project to San Marg herita where the full Russian delegation took 1t under consideration.
