CHICAGO, July 5.-Completing
a ix-thousand-mile journey from
Point Hope, Alaska, which con-
sumed three months and six days
two months and eight days Of
which were spent in ''mushing" a
thousand miles behind a dog sled
through the snow-Rev. William
A. Thomas. Episcopal mission
ary at Point Hope. 800 miles north
Of the arctic circle, brings a re-
markable story of a self-govern-
ing Eskimo community which has
been successfully carried on at
Point Hope for the past six years.
Under the tutelage Of the mis-
. sionaries equal suffrage has been
established among the Tigaras,
who annually in town meetings
elect from among themselves the
omalfk. or council Of leading men,
who. in turn, enact the local laws
and see to their enforcement
among the thousand natives who
inhabit the region. This democracy
Of the frozen north even has it's
own prohibition law. which was
adopted three years before tho
prohibition amendment was adopt
ed In the United States, says Rev.
Thomas.
This unique venture in homo
rule was inaugurated six years
ago, after the breakdown Of the
autocratic rule of a tribal chief,
and following the instruction
which has been given the younger
generation Of Eskimo through
of "a nj
School at Point Hope, Rev. Thomas
reports.
"Originally the omalik was
composed of seven men," says
Rev. Thomas. But it was found
later that five was a better num-
Der. From the beginning of the
experiment the right of suffrage
was given to men and. women
alike in the selection of the coun-
day of the election, because on
that day all of the tribesmen come
into the settlement for feasting
and merrymaking, and we are
able thereby to get the fullest ex-
preston of the sentiment OF the
people. The names are written on
a blackboard and the five securing
the greatest number OF votes are
declared elected, while that ono
of the five who receives the great
est number Of votes becomes the
chief councilman"
Rev. Thomas points out that the
Eskimos are a singularly or
derly and law-abiding people, SO
that the work of the omalik is
largely confined to the enactment
of routine municipal regulations.
He says: There are no police and
no courts. The missionary gives
some quaint illustrations of the
manner in (which Eskimo self
government works. For example,
the omalik has regulation
against gossips. Any person, male
or female, found guilty OF gossip

SING SING OFFICIALS FAIL
TO LOCATE PRISON STILL
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OSSINING, N. Y, July 5.-John Bar
leycorn has gone down to defeat in
his latest battle with Sing Sing prison
officials, and the institution's convict
bootlegger is locked up in solitary
confinement.
While his fellow prisoners are
mourning the loss of. their potato
hooch'' maker. Bernard Conway,
prison guards are searching for the
apparatus that has been providing
the distillation that gave a slant to
the walk, Of their wards. So far they
have been unable to locate 1t.
Although some fermenting prune
juice was found short time ago, the
last real attempt, to run q distillery
in Sing Sing was back in 1873, when
the entire prison population went into
daze until a complete still and much
hard liquor were discovered in tun-
mel leading from the prison to the
stone quarry.
Warden Lawes declares he will go
the limit to make his guests obey the

WELL HAVE COAL y
| SAYS GOV. ALLEN
Kansas Jai|s YaWn for Any
Who Interfere When Need
Is Felt, He Warns.
Nxciai Dispatch TO The Star.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 5.-"The awful
atrocities at Herrin. ILL.,. will not be
repeated in Kansas when we get
ready to open the coal mines"
That is the word that has gone di-
rcct to the coal mining districts of
the state from Gov. Henry J. Allen.
Kansas may get ready to open the
coal mines generally in a short time.
There is no shortage of coal in the
state at this time, and there are a
sufficient number of the co-operat tives
and "dinky" mines working to sup
ply the immediate demands for coal
With the ending of the summer there
will come the demand for winter coal
for domestic use, and at that time
the state expects to move.
Some days ago Gov. Allen received
iutimations from the mining district
i'll southeastern Kansas that there
was a good deal of gossipinS going
on In the district where the more
radical of the miners lived.
Radicals Make Threat.
When things start to popping in
Kansas, Herrin will be put entirely
in the shade" was the word that came
to the governor direct from some of
the more radical of tha miners.
Agents OF the state who had been
conducting Investigations of condi-
lions in the mine fields informed the
governor of the talk Of the miners.
Gov. Allen at once arranged for
some speaking dates at Pittsburgh
and other points in the mining field.
And his first announcement to the
miners and to the business men OF
the district was that Kansas did not
propose to tolerate any of the atroc-
tiles that occurred at Herrin or any
lother place.
Kansas people will not be permit
sted to suffer because of a quarrel be-
z1ween employees and employers" said
=, the governor. That's the purpose of
the industrial court law. There ap-
<pears to be sufficient coal now for
hour needs, but when there comes a
demand for coal and need for coal
the mines will open and coal will be
aproduced and there will be no atroc-
sopening of the southern Illinois
mines. Kansas Is a -law-abiding state
and it has no place in its borders for
those who set themselves up as more
powerful than the state. 1t is one OF
The states duties to protect its citi-
/ zens against suffering, and this will
! be done.
Gov. Allan Gives Uldmatum.
When Kansas needs coal we will
entne coal and without any outbreaks
of lawlessnesS or disorder. Kan
cas- has a lot of jails that are empty
or almost empty. Some of these
need inmates and we are prepared
TO fill them If necessary. When the
need for coal comes the industrial
court will make an adjucation of
the quarrel between the miners and
the operators and willy make an order
fixing the wages and hours and the
. conditions under which the mines
will be opened and the time. Those
who want to work will find 1t ready
for them. Those who do not want
to work or who may want to keep
others from working will find that
Kansas does not propose to sub
nit to intimidation, assaults or
murder. The mines will be opened
and operated and coal furnished and
lawlessnass will not be tolerated in
the district in any form"

acting on allegations that liquor had
been sold aboard the craft during the
past two weeks. About seventy-five
colored passengers were on board. When
the raid got under way a shower Of
bottles, many containing liquor. fell
in the river as the excursionists rid
themselves of evidence" Some of the
bottles were recovered.
James Woodson. colored, 49S L street.
in charge of a refreshment stand and
who is alleged to have sold liquor to
police agents earlier in the day, was
arrested on charges of illegal posses
sion and selling, taken to the fourth
precinct station and locked up.
Capt SheetZ, who directed the raid,
decided to accompany the boat to River
View and bring home the excursionists
left there on an earlier trip. Sergt
Mundie of the harbor precinct a
licensed pilot, was taken aboard to take
charge of the wheel. and James O..
Holiness owner of the boat, accompany
ing a detail OF a dozen policemen and
revenue agents, went along to keep the
crew at work. When the steamer
docked at its wharf on the return trip
about II o'clock, the owner was arrest
ed and charged with illegal possession
and sale of liquor aboard the boat, the
officers alleging that he was responsible
for what took place on the boat. He
furnished bond in the sum of $1,500
for his appearance in court.
Arrangements were made by the
revenue agents to have the marshal
falr char of 10
final outcome Of the trial of the de-
PENDANTS. The steamer is valued at
more than $4,000. the owner having
spent $4,000 in having it overhauled
for service on the river this season.
The case will be tried in Police
Court next Tuesday. Meanwhile, the
vessel is being held by, the United

In this connection 1t came to light
that President John L. Lewis OF the
miners had declared in a letter to
President Wilson in the fall of 1920,
according to the Mine Workers Jour-
nal of September i, 1920, that the
miners considered the interstate sys-
tenn Of wage scale negotiations dis
rupted" through failure of the pre-
vious attempts at Cleveland. The
miners, he said. in the central COM
petitive field, would go ahead to ne
gotiate on the basis OF smaller units.
While there was much talk every
where In Washington over the possi-
bilities of settlement of the present
strike, there was further questioning
as to how far the government might
go. in case of an impasse, in carrying
out President Harding's declaration
in his speech to the conference at the
White House, that the country de-
served to be rid of these "recurrent
anxieties." Would the government
follow the intimation Of Secretary
Falls speech to the anthracite men,
in which he spotted the coal in
dustry as a public utility? Would
a coal labor board be considered?
Would any permanent means of set
tlement Of coal strike difficulties be
devised?

Mr.. Lunt said Cedar is being
looked upon as one Of the most patrio-
tic and public spirited places in Utah,
and he urged all to "boost for this
county, boost for good roads, keep
alive the patriotism and public spirit
with which the people are endowed
and work for the upbuilding of the
county and state"

called on to speak for a short time,
and in humorous talk, livened the
audiences'up considerable and also
encouraged them in the matter of
building good roads. He said that
he was glad to know that the con-
tracing company that build the
Cedar-Lund highway had done a good
job and made a good road, one that
the people will be proud of and pleas
ed with. Mr.. Doolittle referred to
the attracting Of the tourists to this
part of the state and said that good
roads would be an attraction, but II
needed one other thing, good hotel
Accommodations, and suggested that
the people get together and dig up
$4,000 for the completion of the new
Cedar hotel. He said he felt conf
dent that if that hotel was finished
that the railroad would come and
that thousands of tourists would visit
here, knowing that they could get &C.
cancellations. Mr.. Doolittle made
this statement at the close of his re-
marks: 81 WILL Re ONE OF rs

very hard matter to get $4,000 from
Iron County people for this purpose

moments Of the good roads movement
and encouraged all to stand behind
the road officials and the county
commissioners in the matter of goot
roads and the proper maintenance Of
