SENATORS

President Coolidge gave q ''har.
mony breakfast" this morning at the
White House, attended by dozen
members OF the Senate.
Included among the guests was
Senator Hendrix Shipstead, the sole
Farmer-I4abor member. Of MinnesOtas
whose vote In the Seventeen Senate
may conceivably decide whether the
Republicans or Democrats win con-
troll the chamber.
The ostensible purpose Of ths
gathering about the White House
breakfast table was to afford the
Executive an opportunity to discuss
with the Republican leaders of the
Senate the legislative program for
the short session, beginning next
Monday. Actually It was regarded
as another Administration step to-
ward the elimination of Republican
factionalisnl, and the establishment
of party harmony against the time
in the SEVENTEEN Senate when Re-
publican harmony will be sorely
needed.
After the breakfast, Senator Ship
stead had special appointment
with Mr.. Coolidge.

! What will come after. heaven only
knows. Much depends upon the
verdict which the elderly IL men OF
the jury bring into court. VIII they
free Mrs. Hall and her two brothers
or will they doom these three to
death or long imprisonment?
1t is entirely possible that the
jurors have been so confused by con-
flicting and twisted testimony that
they will acquit rather than take
any chance Of Furnishing people who
may be innocent. Senator Simpson
started out to present a clean cut
case. but the defense has eluttered
up the whole thing by testimony
leading In all directions, so there is
a chance Of disagreement or acquittal.
What then?
Not Over Yet
The defense may think that when
this is over their clients can retire
again to their life OF ease and try to
forget the sting OF being tried for
murder. But I am not convinced Of
that.
have feeling that all three may
be tried again under other indict.
ments for the murder of DIR. Hall,
and next. time they will be tried
separately.
Many people believe that even IL
the defendants are acquitted now,
they still will not have removed
themselves completely from the
shadow Of possible guilt.
Much Not Explained
Many things still remain unex-
planned. and the world will never be
satisfied until they are explained.
Mrs. Hall. for instance, was not a
very convincing witness, in my
opinion. and I just cannot bring
myself to believe that she knew so
little about the affair between her
husband and my mother.
Mrs. Hall is a strange woman at
least. she is to me. Even as little
girl in her Sunday school class 1
used to think she was so different
from most people.

FEDERAL CONTROL INJURIOUS
 TO EDUCATION

Much has been said during the l past few years and especially dur ing the past several months about | Indian children desiring to enter the 1 PUBLIC schools of the Territory AS Americans we have offered free ly to every nationality within our borders the best educational oppor- tunities available. The big thought heinz the assimilation of the races and intoxicating American ideas, ideals and principles instead of old country. The public school being the melting pot whereby full Ameri- canism is developed.
 There are two sides to every question. In this matter effecting tho development of potential citizens of the Territory, we present the views of Senator Hiram Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, and member of theCommittee on Educa- tion and Labor:
 "It hardly needs to be said that I om heartily in favor of whatever vii really promote child welfare in the home, school, church and commun- it. My own chief hobby is boys and their welfare. Furthermore, I am heartily in favor of whatever will raise the standards of home life and will secure more adequate care and protection for women and children. desire to see for every child the highest possible advantages in physical, mental, moral and spirit ual education.

:. THE SCHOOL PROBLEM
 IN PETERSBURG

Petersburg in spite of its new school building is confronted with such a heavy registration that an overflow building has had to be used. To relieve the situation those dozen or so Indian children attend ing are no longer desired. Let the Bureau school take care of them," is the cry. So the Council is taking up with Professor Henderson, poli tical messenger boy of the Juneau politicians, this matter and also with MT. Hawkesworth, divisional super intendent of the Bureau of Educa- tion.
 The opening of the school term in the Petersburg Bureau school saw an enrolment of IA. October enroll ment went to 20 and the November enrolment to 2S. January will bring the total to thirty and better; then as the months follow the enrolment will dwindle down to twelve or six teen.
 What the policy of the Bureau of Education is in this matter is not ours to say. A few years ago the public expression of one of the rep resentatives favoring entrance in tho public school racked the Territory from strem to sternpost. The gener- al policy of the Department of the Interior as made public by the Se- cretary of that Department sometime back is the placing of more re- sponsibility upon the States.
 It would seem that the business men and others in favor of addition d. LedCueI duu d uo" UuAIu1uS lol the Indian children are hardly con- sisten. We "don't want 'em' yester- day and i've are entitled to some consideration today.

Danko's room. One of the letter
read:
when are you going to send me
that money? need it for that deal. :"
The missive was written in code and
came from New York.
The letters also gave New York and
Philadelphia telephone numbers,
which are being investigated.
Detectives and police watched
every steamboat pier and railroad
station, and every road out OF the
city. The detectives also are working
on the theory that Danko. or some
other member Of the band, worked
at the Sonneborn plant.
Death Blame Fixed.
DR.. ]. Howard Maldeis. city post
mortem expert, and Coroner Blades
decided today after a post mortem
that the shot which killed Danko was
accidental. This was held true be-
cause Of the direction the bullet ha =
taken. They denied a hammer ha~
been used to make away with the
man.
Maldeis expressed the opinion
Danko was killed when the bandit
car, leaving the Sonneborn establish
ment, struck a parked car and lost
one Of it's doors. This Jar, Maldeis
holds, would have been sufficient to
set off the gun.
The theory is verified by stories of
eyewitnesses, who said a shot was
fired as the bandit car was driven
away.
The United States Fidelity &
Guaranty Co. Of Baltimore, which car
ried the insurance on the pay roll,
