ESOUIMAUX SAY
THE Y KILLED
MARV in

NEW YORK, Sept. "a. = (AP) - In
copyrighted dispatc from George
Palmer Putnam, the New York pub
Usher, who is returning from the Arc
tic on the schooner Morrissey, the New
York Times reveals that Professor Ross
Marvin of Cornell, who was believed to
have been drowned while on the Peary
expedition to the North Pole in 1909,
was slain by one of his Eskimo COM
panions. The facts now revealed after
II years compose one of the most re-
markable tragedies of the Arctic,
Professor Marvin, then in his early
thirties, headed the third supporting
party accompanying Peary toward the
North Pole from the ship Roosevelt,
which remained in winter quarters at
Cape Sheridan.
With Marvin were two Eskimaux,
Kudlooktoo and Inukitsoq, the latter OF
whom was known to the party as "Har-
rigan." The supporting party left
Peary at latitude So degrees, SS min
utes to return to the ship. When Peary
returned from the pole he learned from
Captain Bob Bartlett that the Eski-
maux had returned reporting that Mar
vim had been drowned in crossing a
lead" covered only by thin ice, Their
story was unhesitatingly accepted and
is incorporated in Peary's book.
Last year a Danish missionary In
Greenland succeeded in converting to
Christianity most of the "Peary tribe"
of Eskimaux, including the two who
had been Marvin's companions. After
being baptized, Kudlooktoo informed
the missionary his conscience had been
awakened and when he adopted the
white mans Christianity and he had
sin to confess. He then admitted that
he had killed Marvin by shooting him
behind the ear and that he and "Har-
rigan" had invented the drowning
story to conceal the crime.
He shot Marvin, the Eskimo said, to
save his companion. The professor,
weakened by hardships of the trail, had
ordered Harrigan turned adrift from
the party, without food or shelter 10
save his friend, he pretended to see
seal, and getting the rifle, shot the
White man. The two then agreed to
tell the drowning story.
The story was sent to the Danish
government which, unable to believe
that an Eskimo would kill white man
left in his care, sent Knud Rasmussen
to Investigate. Rasmussen found the
other Eskimo and obtained full cor
of the killing. The Danish
explorer is now returning in Putnam
party.

THIS CITY TO
OBSERVE FIRE
WARNING WEEK

Fire Prevention Week, October 4 to
o. inclusive, will be carried out IN
Douglas by various programs to stlmu-
late interest in cutting down the an
nual loss through destruction by fire,
Mayor A. e. Hinton announced Friday.
The mayor and Fire Chief William Ne
meek will probably meet with COM
mittee from the Douglas Chamber OF
Commerce and Mines today to discuss
final plans
Two mediums, the mails and the
schools, will be used to carry out the
program adopted by the committee.
Merchants will be urged to place stick
ers calling attention to the danger from
fire, on their statements sent out Oc-
tober / and speakers at the various
schools will address the children and
students on the subject of fire preven-
ton.
Although Fire Chief Nemeck is now
taking his annual vacation, he ex-
pressed himself as willing to cooperate
in the Fire Prevention Week program.
"There is no question but that the in
formation given out during Fire Pre-
vention Week programs during the past
has been responsible for a great de-
crease in the loss through fire." the
chief states.

League Of Nations Assembly Unanimously
Adopts Resolution to Call General Arms
Reduction Conference Before September

IS GENEVA, Sept. 24. - (AP) - The
league of nations assembly tonight
unanimously adopted a resolution that
a general conference for the reduction
of armaments shall be convoked before
next September unless material diff
culties prevent.
M. Paul Boncour of France, Viscount
Cecil for Great Britain and Herr Won
Schubert for Germany pledged their
countries to support the conference
with all earnestness. Lord Cecil por-
trayed the world as anxiously awaiting
results from Geneva, but warned that
it would be fatal to call the conference
before arrangements were complete, be-
cause if it met and failed it would be
the greatest disaster to the cause of
peace since founding of the league.
China, only recently elected mem
Der of the league council, caused a sem
sation today by launching an accusa-
ton against Great Britain of lombard
ment and the killing of Chinese on the
Yangtse river. 1t is unusual, if not
unprecedented, for one member of the
league to make ch S publicly
against another from the rostrum, es-
pecially when both belong to the coun-
Gil, and this incident is described as
showing that the assembly is becoming
real formu for airing international
grievances.
