NJ DOWELL- ADMITS
|. He TOLD MOTHER
He KILLED SISTERS

CLEARWATER, Fla, June g.
Frank Mcdowell, the boy murderer
of his entire family, had prisoner
in the county Jail telephone the rep
resentative of the Associated Press
this morning and request an inter-
view. Owing to inability to break in
to jail sooner, the interview was had
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mcdowell stated hat he wanted
to arrange for the newspapers to
have all the photographs they
needed, but did not desire to be
bothered after the trial starts next
Monday. He further stated that he
had information that his relatives IN
Georgia have refused to provide any
money for the trial and he feels that
very little effort is being made to
bring out his side of the case. He APP
pears to feel very sorry for himself.
He wants a shave and some better
clothes for the trial.
Mcdowell went into the same old
string of stories he told in the past,
but added something to them. He ad-
mitted, for the first time, that he
had told his mother Of being respon-
sible for the death of his two sis
tiers and the destruction of their
home in Georgia. Mcdowell stated
that his mother did not feel angry
toward him, as she knew that he
was in no way responsible for his
actions when under those spells
which he has every February -.
Mcdowell was asked If his father
knew that he killed his sisters, ana
he said he did not tell him, but he
supposed his mother did.
Heretofore, Mcdowell has strenu-
ously denied that he ever told his
pare1 is of killing his sisters and fur
Their declared that he did not believe
they knew he did it.
Mcdowell feels that he will be re-
leased if the facts in his case can
be brought out and bemoans the
lack Of money to cause increased in
centive for bringing out the facts by
employing alienists to explain, so
the layman can understand, just
what his condition is when he does
his murders.
Mcdowell thinks he will be ac-
quilted Of the charge Of murder,
for he declares that he is no more re-
sporsibl, for the death Of his par
ents and sisters than is some other
person who was not present.
The stage is set for the hearing
next Monday.

NATION IS WARNED 1
BY ADMIRAL F|SKE ]
OF PACIFIC THREAT

NEW YORK, June 4.-Rear Adj
miral Bradley A.. Fiske, retired, in
letter to Secretary Of the Navy
Wilbur, which he made public last
night, called attention to the pres
ent comparative strength of the
American and Japanese fleets for OPP
erations in far eastern waters, which
he said was gravely misunderstood
by the public.
"Of course, I do not mean to sug-
gest," the rear admiral said, that
war is even possible; but neverthe-
less it may be pointed out that the
Japanese and the Americans have
taken attitudes that are irreconcil-
able, and that the Japanese have vir-
tually broken off diplomatic relations
by giving their ambassador a 'vaca-
ton Such attitudes and such acts
have usually preceded wars, though
they have not always been followed
by wars"

Dry Director Reports

"Whisky-making in Georgia has
fallen off so per cent in the last year
and a half" Prohibition Director Fred
D. Dismuke, said Thursday in Civ

activities for May.
"a recent statewide investigation
carried on by agents from my office
shows that there are only half as
many stills in operation in Georfia
as there were in the summer of 1922"
Mr.. Dismuke said. "Officers also re-
port that the stills being confiscated
now are all of small size, with few
Of the large plants which were be-
ing operated two years ago.
Part of this probably is caused by
the fact that the courts, both state
and federal seems to be imposing
longer jai sentences and heavier fines
upon viOlators Of the prohibition act
than in former years"
Stills destroyed by federal agents
during May totalled 1874.
The value of property destroyed
amounted to $31, 823.35. Persons re-
ported and recommended for prosecu-
ton totalled 125, with 70 persons ar

RED SALMON

In another column we have print ed something of the dispute between the red salmon canners and the so- called Alaska Fishermen's Union as to prices for the season of 1924. The so-called Alaska Fishermen want S1a cents per salmon (averaging , to z pounds each) and the Packers offering 2 cents per fish.
 The wholesale price of red salmon is $2.25 per dozen or $9.OO per case. A case of salmon contains about 12 to IA salmon so that even at the top price, the cost of the raw ma terial would be only $1.12.
 In contract with these prices, the pink salmon packers are paying from ' to 8 cents per humpback. There are about 15 salmon of this species to case, so that the raw material in a case of Pinks comes to $1.2O as against SLIP for reds. The wholesale price is $1.1O per dozen cl $40 per case.
 There is practically no difference in all the other items of expense between the cost of packing red salmon in the westward division of Alaska and in packing the pinks in Southeastern Alaska.
 The territorial basic tax on red salmon is 1Oc per case, and the basic tax on pinks is 41Ac.
 But the difference in the value of the two species of salmon at the present market rice is $4.6O per case. This is the reason that l am re- printing letter written two years ago Iby man who has made a thorough study of this phase of the Territorial business.
 After you have studied the facts presented here, will you not agree that the packers of the valuable red salmon could easily pay one dollar tax per case, and do it easier than the packer of the pink species can pay Az cents.
 eff the collections by the govern ment from the people, industries and resources in the United States equalled per capita similar collections from Alaska, then the yearly nation al revenue would exceed twenty bill lion dollars" So states the gover- nor of Alaska in his report for the year 1920.
 Need this territory then hesitate in taking its bit?

GENERAL R. H. PRATT
Great Educator of Indians
 Passes
Indians

affairs and education died at his daughters home in Rochester last February.
 General Pratt, enlisting as a pri- vate at the outbreak of the Civil War, was promoted to lieutenancy before the close of the war for dis tinguished services. He continued in the cavalry service after the close of the war. During the wars with the Indians he was placed in charge of some seventy prisoners of war His contact with them and association led him to believe that the Indian was just as much a hu- man as any other race of people and that they would react to the good as we'll as bad influences. While in command of these prisoners he recommended and urged that non reservation school be established to try out his scheme of making better Americans of these people. Through his untiring effort Congress provid ed the appropriation and military post at Carlisle, Penn., to try his scheme.
 For over forty years he preached the doctrine of non-segre gation of the Indian races. His forceful christian character and per sonality dominated all who came in contact with him. He sent from that school hundreds of young men and women who lived his teachings o1; oc l,o paternal system of the Department of the Interior seemed a certainty.
 His entire principle of education of the Indian races might best be stated in his own words: ''To civilize the Indian, get him into civilization; let him stay" Frances E. Willard, prominent in prohibition circles, asked him for the proper solution of the so-called Indian ques tion and he replied. q would put an Indian in every county, town and village and let him stay There would be no more Indian problem" The Carlisle school became so sue cessful in the practical working oe his ideas that it threatened the very existence of the self-interested of ficials in charge of Indian affairs. In speech before Friends Society of Philadelphia he stated that the "Indian Bureau was barnacle to he knocked off" from the life of the Indians in order that they might make advancement in modern civ ilization. For this the department took offense and made every effort to misquote and secure his dis missal Upon reaching retirement age for army service he was retired and relieved from duty at Carlisle.

charge with instructions to complete ly destroy the principles of educa- tion laid down by General Pratt and to remove his influence.
 From the most successful school in the Indian service Carlisle became but poor instrument for the edu- cation of these people. The newer pupils, not having the ideals and principles of the old School Father, were not able to keep up the "old Carlisle standard" But, though the Bureaucrats were successful in re- moving the influences of this great hearted man they were not success ful in eradicating his memory and influences from the minds and the hearts of his "children." Here and there, throughout the States and Alaska, the seeds planted in the minds of graduates and returned students from this school, took root and grew, and slowly began to bear fruit.
 Six years ago the writer, sec retary of the Grand Camp of the A that organization and then began tc urge the principles obtained from that greatest of Indian educators, General Pratt. The convention of Juneau six years ago brought forth a platform which urged the proven tion of the reservation system ln Alaska; the establishing of the legal status of Alaskan Indians as citl- zens: one Territorial school system, without segregation and equal op- portunity to assimilate education; de- velopment of competent christian citizenship.
 Drawing the ragged ends of an organization that was without strength and co-ordinating all forces ;n organization was Wielded until at the Wrangell Convention in 1921 1t began to be felt as a force in the affairs of the Indians of the Territory.
 Drawing further upon the educa- ton and leadership of William l.. Paul, another product of the Carlisle School, the organization was further drawn together in the common fight against fish traps. Under his lead crship the legal status of Indian citizenship was established in Alaska Today it is very candidly admitted Ev all forces that the Indian citi- zen is a potential power in Alaska rolitics. And we might further add that the true principles of Ameri- canism, Liberty, Right and Justice, taught from the Declaration of h. dependence and the Constitution by General Pratt, intensively taught among the native people of the territory will make Alaska decent .laaa l. l;,.o in afte1. re0ime of
