ARTHUR BAKER
ON WAY TO
STATE PRISON
MAN PLEADING GUILTY To-
MURDER OF JOHN RANGER
TO START SERVING LIFE
SENTENCE


Arthur Baker is on his way ta
the state prison at Raiford where
he will enter upon a life term of
hard labor for killing John
Ranger in this city on the evening
of Sunday, February %, to which
crime he entered a plea of guilty
at the recent term of the circuit
court held in Key West with Judge
jefferson B. Browne presiding.
o. H. Rogers, state recruiting
officer, arrived in the city this
morning and left on the 1920
train today with Arthur Baker,
securely ironed, in his charge.
When Baker was brought from
the jail he submitted meekly
enough to being photographed by
a representative of The Citizen.
Mrs. Baker then requested to be
photographed by his side, when
Baker surprised the crowd by
firing up and flatly refusing to
let it be done. He did not say
why he did not want to be photo
graphed with his wife, who, as is
we'll known, has stood Loyalty by
him throughout his troubles, and
was there desiring to ride to the
station with him, her request be-
ing refused her by the officers.
Officer Rogers was accom-
panied to the passenger station
by Deputy Sheriffs Cleveland
Dillon and Herman Albury, and
no unusual incident occurred to
mark the last departure of Arthur
Baker from Key West.
Chief Deputy A. H. McInnis
went over the details of the Baker
case with the state recruiting of
ficer and urged precaution in con-
veying him to the state prison.
Arthur Baker emerged from the
Jail with a fresh shave, a clean
shirt, soft white wool hat and nice
clothes, putting forth a very neat
appearance. His wife had just
brought him fresh change of
linens, and had earlier in the
forenoon brought him a nice
breakfast, as had been her custom
ever since he was placed behind
the bars. This morning he had
every appearance of a neatly
dressed business man starting out
for days work. excepting. of
course, the shackles he wore and
the presence of officers at his
side.
During his entire Incarceration
here Baker has not given the least
inkling of his past life, and has
had very little to say to any one.
Baker win not arrive at Raiford
until Friday or Saturday, as Of
ficer o, II. Rogers viii pick up
other prisoners at several points
along the way. At Miami he will
get three, at Palm Beach 12, at
okecchobee 4. Palatka and
Titusville 5, This will give him
a string Of '32 prisoners to turn
over to the prison authorities at
Raiford.
II viii BE noted that Kew West
is the only place from which only
one prisoner awaited the arrival
Of the recruiting officer. For the
nast thirty years Key West has
averaged sbout one murder case
each five wears. which record. of
ficers stase. is not equalled in any
other county of the state having
the same population of Monroe.
Baker was not a Key wester.

CAPTAIN WHlTLAM'S FIRST TRIP TO SEWARD SINCE THE
 WORLD WAR.
COMMANDED BENDER BROTHERS
Eskimos Make God Sailors; Vessel e Serves In Training Capacity for
 Northern Eskimos.

For the first time since the World
 War, Capt. s. T. L. Whitlam, U. S.S. schooner Boxer, Bureau of Education ship, which arrived in port yesterday morning from Bellingham, is back in Seward. At that time he arrived in Seward on the S.S. Northwestern on
 special detail to take over the com- mand of the power schooner Ruby, a
 three master, which put into port in distress, carrying under her matches about 500 tons of general cargo for points on the Kuskokwim river. Cap tain Whitlam had only been in Seat tie three days, having just arrived from Nome from which port he had commanded for a number of years the power schooner Bender Bros, run ming to Herschel Island. Upon his ar rival at Seward he relieved Captain McAlpin and, on account of being un- able to take the vessel to the Kusko- kwim, for it was then December, he endeavored to obtain warehouse facil- ities at Unalaska, the closest point north, where he planned to discharge the cargo and in the spring relay it to it's destination. Being unable to secure the necessary storage space he sailed the vessel back to Seattle and shortly after made two trips to South America with the vessel. Altogether

 Eskimo Sailors On Board.
 The Boxer carries a crew of four teen, the majority being Eskimos from Each fall new bunch of Eskimos, or natives, are shipped and in the spring, taken back to their homes, the vessel serving as a sort of a training school for the department.

 Tho small vessel, the Boxer is compact and comfortable and conve- nient quarters are found on board. Something seldom seen on ships ply ing to Alaska, and especially so on vessels of this type, are the electric heaters installed in each room thru out the entire ship. Very little diff ference is found in the size and fur nishings of~rthe captains and engi- neer's rooms from the quarters of the others members of the crew.
 The captain himself, like most of seafarers, is a genial soul and im- mediately makes one feel at home. He calls Seattle his home.

 Stops At ketchikan.
 On the present trip Captain Whit lam left Bellingham January 3, at noon, and with the exception of one stop at Ketchikan for water came di- rect to this port. The stop at Ketchi- kan would not have been made, the captain stated, only he feared that the cold weather which he had en- countered years ago in this port, gave him reason to believe he might be under some handicap in taking on a supply of fresh water here. It was pointed out to Captain Whitlam that no difficulty of this nature is ever ex- perienced at. this port, which informa- tion he welcomed.
 Bitter Weather Encountered
 Heavy southeast and southwest gales, accompanied by continuous and dense rains, battered the staunch ves- sel about so much that he hoved the vessel to, twice, en route north Up- on leaving Puget Sound, no rain had fallen for week, but dense fogs had enshrouded the region during tthat in- teryal. A deck load of about fifteen tons of lumber was carried on the Boxer and it was due principally to this reason that the vessel was hove to, for at various times the vessel shipped great seas which if continued would have swept away the deck load. sna
