SkAGWAY BOY DIES
 RECENTLY IN SEATTLE

According to the Skagway Alaskan, Martin Conway, Jr., son of former U. s. Commissioner and present Post master Martin Conway of SkagWay, died in Seattle two weeks ago after a lingering illness. The boy was at tending school in Seattle when taken sick, his mother going south in Jan uary to be with him. It was believed up until almost the last that he would recover He was 15 years of age.
 Last summer the Conway boy and Donald Mulvihill were swimming in the bay near Skagway when the iat- ter was attacked by cramps. Young Conway struggled herolcally to save his companion and was almost drowned himself. Mulvihill was drowned and it is said the shock to the survivor was so great that it weakened his constitution and when sickness overlook him he was un- able to survive it.

ADMIRAL PLANS. ANNOUNCED FOR COMING SEASON

Four steamers the Spokane, Queen, Admiral Watson and Admiral Evans-will constitute the Alaskan fleet of the Admiral Line during the season of 1923, according to Jack Kline, Juneau agent for the company, who recently returned from Seattle from a conference with officials there. The Spokane and Queen will serve the triangular route they were on last year, sailing from Seattle on alternate Wednesdays and making Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Sitka and return to Juneau southbound, and the other two ships, Watson and Evans, will cover the Western Alas ka run, each sailing on alternate Thursdays.
 The triangular route proved pop ular last year and was especially attractive to tourists who were thus enabled to see on this one trip more of Southeastern Alaska than any other single tour offered, said MT. Kline. It also fitted nicely into b'lsi- ness and trade conditions locally.
 Bia Tourist Year
 . The Admiral Line officials expect a big tourist business this year. In fact early inquiries about reserva- tions indicate a surplus for the months of June, July and August, particularly the last two months. Ill order to prevent travel congestion and disappointment to many seeking to make the Alaska tour and who probably could not be handled either in July or August, the company is attempting to divert some of them to May, June or September sailings, said MT. Kline In this it is handi- capped by a widespread impression that May, June and September Weath- CT is unreasonable. It is believed, however, that it will be at least par tiallv successful, and is making its plans to launch its tourist eHcursloh season on May 1.
 Enlarge Service Sooner While no definite date has been fixed for the initial sailings of the Queen and Admiral Evans, it is be- lieved they will take place sometime before the excursion season. Move- ments of men and supplies to the canneries promises to be heavy and these vessels will be needed to aid in facilitating this traffic. The Pa
 cific Net & Irvine Company has or ders booked for 50 per cent more supplies for the canneries than had
 showed up at this time last year and other supply companies report slm- liar conditions. Other business is

 Officials to Study Needs
 The officials of the Admiral Line will get into very close touch with the Territory, and particularly with Southeastern Alaska, this year, thru personal visits to every district, said MT. Kline. A careful survey of the local field will be made and the policy and service of the com pany adapted to fit local conditions as nearly as it is possible to do so. Superintendent Brennan will be the first of the company officials to come North. He will be followed by others during the season. Vice

Marines Teach
HaitianS to Shoot

that disappeared under the vigorous
strokes of a stout machete.
The system determined on was pure
ly American, and among the American
officers and the gendarmerie were
many trained shots and rifle coaches.
The usual troubles with recruit shots
were discontinued, but up bobbed a
handicap that had never been fore
seen. For some reason the average

though II would blind white man. He
can sleep standing up with the sun
blazing into his face and never finch.
So 1t fell to the lot Of the rifle instruc-
tors to overcome this peculiar defect
by teaching their men literally how to
wink. Winking is an unknown lure Of
the Haitian belle. In place Of sly,
covert wink she stares with the direct
gaze of baby. In few weeks the or
der to teach winking was showing
progress, and all through the hill sta
tions and mt the big Dartiguenave
Caserne that fianks the marine bar
racks at the capital, gendarmes were
mastering the art of the flapper.
Once on the range, after the rudi-
ments had so far advanced as to per-
init. of actual firing. those who had not
mastered the ancient lure sought the
aid of khaki-colored patch to wear
over the left eye when firing. There
were many such used in the recent
matches. Another quaint turn came
when, either by chance or good hold
ing, the crack of rifle was rewarded
by the flashing of white disk signal
ing bulls eye on the target.
The Haitian peasant is simple
minded person, full of superstitions
and odd beliefs. The gendarme who
once scored bull pulled serenely at
his trigger the next time, confident thai
whether he held at the bottom or the
top of the target, he would score an
other bull. He reasoned that the first
shot had followed a groove in the air

eye. The next bullet had only to find
that groove. Time brought disillusion-
ment and then the gendarmes, corps
full OF esprit, settled down to straight
shooting. True, in place Of certain
superstitions that the American rife
man is prone to. he was apt to consult
the harmless charms of the witch doc
tor to bring him luck.

dom that his white officers impaired to
him in his own native creole.
Slowly, as the jungle recedes before
the patient, unremitting strokes of the
machete, the gendarmes were learn
ing to shoot. 1t was then that General
MacDougal sought and won the inter-
est of President Borno in the project
OF an individual match to correspond
with the Presidents match, and an
eight-man team match from the four
departments to correspond with the
National team match, the classics Of
the American rifle range.
The American high commissioner,
Brig. Gen. John III. Russell, was thor
oughly in sympathy with the idea. so
MacDougal led up to the big matches
with department matches in October.
From these competitions came full as
surance that the big matches would be
highly creditable In their standard of
skill, and from them the eight best
shots of each department were formed
into team and placed under expert
training. One of them, the department
of the south, for instance, was coached
by Capt. III. l.. Smith, whose team OF
leathernecks won the national match
at Camp Perry in 1921 from the best
field in the United States.
The matches began with the 40 best
shots in the gendarmes competing for
the Presidents match. Sergt. Astrale

which was witnessed by President and

mander Theodore z. Kane and their

gendarmerie, the President presented
ROLAND with handsome gold watch,
medal, an autographed letter and the
equivalent of months pay to take
back to admiring Jeremie. Incident
ally, ROLAND Is now learning to read
time.
On the following day the national
team match got under way with the
four teams firing in relays, one target
to each team. Slowly the department
of the south began to forge ahead and
won out with the score of 1,T3S, or an
average of PIT points out of $50. The
other teams finished with the respec-
tive scores of 1,56S, 1,641 and 1890
Again Astrale ROLAND demonstrated
his right to the crown with the high
gun of 234 out of $50, closely pressed
as he was. In a special match for the
benefit of President Borno, now a con-
firmed rifle enthusiast, and whose right
shoulder Is no stranger to the impact
of Springfield, ROLAND met Fadael OF
the Presidents own Palace guard.
Fadael triumphed In the ten-sho'

At the conclusion Of this match

 away from the capital for sojourn on French soil. His passage over the Atlantic has been engaged aboard the liner Leyiathan, sailing today from New York, and it will be three months before he returns again from the land where his leadership helped to write history during the great war.
 Neither the generals name nor that of his sister, Mrs. D. M.

This time he is bound for d holiday. It will be, so far as the brother and sister are able to con trol events in France, just a sight seeing tour of their own with the pub lie not invited.
 The plan for the trip was laid months ago. All the agencies of the government have been invoked that mighty aid ill helping to prevent pub licity or to induce the French author ities to allow the general and Mrs. Butler to come and go in France as as any other Ameri- can brother and sister might do as tourists there.
