attempt he made to hide out in the
corridor one night when Deputy
Sheriff Billy Rudd locked the prison

then planning escape; but Rudd spot

There were 13 prisoners in the jail
Tuesday night. Pumphrey presum-
ably is superstitious about that num-
ber. Anyway, next morning he sawed
two bars through in the upper part OF

An hour later one of the prisoners
called Mr.. Matthews to the door be-

and told him they had something to
show him. He went in and they point

Pumphrev's absence and asked where
he was and was told that he was the

County Attorney Harrison told a
Sun representative just before he left
Flagstaff that he believes there is no
question but the state has jurisdiction
over the deer killers the minute they
leave the government reserve. Just
what action he might take upon his
arrival there last night he did not
want to forecast, preferring to wait
until he had got on the ground and
made a full investigation of the mat
ter after a conference with the sheriff
and the government men.
Meanwhile George Mccormick of
Flagstaff is a little worried about
driving five to eight thousand of the
deer down across the Colorado river
to this side of the canyon next month.
He has his permit and is perfecting
his arrangements, but is not certain
whether the shooting of deer up there
on large scale may not scare them
up so much that the drive win be
made more difficult.
However, the county attorney and
Mr.. Mccormick both have been IN
formed that the shooting is confined
to the west side of the reserve. This
is separated by "hog- back" and a
strip Is to 20 miles wide from the
east side. 1t is from the latter side

one who had sawed the bars and es-
capped. None of the other prisoners
made any attempt to get out.
Pumphrey is deserter from the
navy. He is "a years old and his
father is a printer in Colorado
Springs. His admission that he de
serted from the navy was made to a
representative of The Sun, VINO, with
the man who owned the ear he stole
in Colorado were the only two peo-
pie who visited him while he was in
Jail. They made only one call each
and talked with him III the Jail office
in the presence Of officers.
Pumphrey 1T is believed had outside
assistance, though there are no tracks
outside to show that he had help in
saving the bars. But it is believed
the saw had been passed through the
bars to him. He took it with him
when he left.
Pumphrey was a federal prisoner
and the chase for him is likely to
soon end in his capture. He likely
will find he would have been better
ofl in jail.

son Dy series or SCrlKeS. In1S mas been the experience of some and that is why the canneryman would rather use the more expensive trap system. The fishermen would have to use the method of the Alaska FisheImen's Union of Astoria and San Francisco. There they make an agreement as to prices and en- ter into contract before the sea- son begins, and then they each keep their word. In that way the can neryman knows what his fish will cost him and he can sell his pack in advance or borrow money on it. From my knowledge of business, 1 am sure that the canneryman would rather pay 20 per cent higher prices to seiners and abolish traps, if the seiners could give them the assur- ance that some such plan as l have outlined would be followed. The sol ution of the fisheries problem is largely in the hands of the men themselves.
 am against the carpet-bag sys- tenn of government. 1 thoroly hate the system of government that hands us over to some "Gentleman from New York" Therefore I am in fa- vor of the Controller Bill which will seek to make at least three of our high officials elective, to-wit sup erintendent of Territorial affairs, a Treasurer, and a Secretary of the Territory.
 am in favor of making every inn portant official elective. To those who disagree with me, I will say that I believe that we have the right to govern or misgovern ourselves. But I have an abiding faith in our citizenship and know that elective officials will prove great improve ment over our present system. therefore I favor electing the Com missioner of Education, the Terri torial Commissioners of Fisheries; and would extend this principal to Federal Judges and District Attor- neys if that were possible.
 1 believe in a decent Workmen's Compensation Law. Every business should bear it's own losses growing out of it's own employment whether the loss is of machinery or lives. If mines cannot be run without kill ing 100 men each year, mines should be compelled to support the widows and orphans which are thus created "by this necessity" This principle also applies to lumber mills, can neries or stores.
 Business should not pay just half of the loss. It should pay all of it, and so I would take care of the hospital bill, the doctor bill, wood- en legs or arms, transportation to

 l am not opposed to anybody mere ly because he can make a million a year for l recognize that business must be encouraged. But l do not intend to sell the birth-right of my children for a mess of potage. Cap ital is entitled to legitimate pro- fit, but when capital comes asking for privileges, it must come "clean" and tell the truth.
 1 believe that whenever monopo- ly is created by law ,the public should be informed the names of ev- cry person who holds one per cent or more of stock or mortgages in the monopoly; how much real cash has been invested in the monopoly; and what the net profits amount to. Then we, who have created the mon opoly or exclusive franchise, should have the right to say to the monopo- ly, "you shall not be allowed to earn more than 12 per cent or some other figure, and when you do, you shall reduce your rates accordingly"
 The policy of taking care of our aged pioneers must be continued; but adequate appropriation must be made so that they shall not feed on husks as during the last two years.
 1 am opposed to discrimination on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude in all matters directly affected by law or public institutions. believe that if this Territory is compelled to open up a public school for any group of 12 white children, then this Territory should be compelled to open up public school for any group of 12 children, white red, brown or black. Likewise, if it is right for this Ter ritory to support needy white or phans, it is right to support any needy orphan, white, black or brown. Nor would I draw the line in regard to the poor old people. Any law that is drawn up excluding any class of citizens is unconstitutional. There fore I would be careful to draw a law so that no court could throw it out and thus leave our deserving citizens in want.
 I believe in developing the re- sources of this Territory. There fore, this Territory should provide free assay offices in each Division of Alaska where prospectors might

Also that this Territory has spent over $25O,OOO for fish hatcheries, and yet it's most strenuous support CT cannot show that single fish has returned to any stream in Alas ka as a result of fish hatcheries. And furthermore, every stream in Alaska where hatchery has been placed is today increasingly barren of fish. The only thing that hatch cry advocates can prove is that they are very successful in hatching mil lions of salmon eggs. But what be- comes of them?
 The road building of Alaska is run today primarily to provide jobs for the faithful" The co-ordina- tion which takes the Territorys money and hands it over to army officers to spend any where they please should not be permitted. This system results in undue favoritism. Ir is not mere accident that Juneau has over forty miles of fine auto- lacbile roads, while Ketchikan has only six miles, and Wrangell only two, and Sitka three, and Peters, burg one mile. The proposed road from Juneau to Skagway should not b. allowed unless and until other sections of this Division are given the;, just proportion of roads.
 I believe in the Declaration of In- dependence; that "Governments de- rive their just powers from the con- sent of the governed''; therefore l believe that literacy test for vot- CTS is unAmerican.
