GAINES FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER;
PENALTY OF DEATH FIXED BY JURY
SUTHERLAND RESPONSIBLE e
FOR SLANDEROUS ARTICLE
ON ALASKA, SAYS WRITER.

Ketchikan was branded in the
Hearst press as the worst pest hole
in America the wickedest city be-
longing to Uncle Sam" and the
Bristol Bay region was said to be
on a par with it. with the approval
of Delegate Dan Sutherland, and on
information furnished by him, ac-
cording to a letter from Morrill, God
dard to f. M. Swasey, editor of The
American Weekly, the Sunday sup
plement section used by the Hearst
newspapers throughout the country.
Mr.. Goddard is understood to have
written the article under the head
lines, Gamblers, Liquor Dealers and
Red Light Women, Uncle Sans Ten
ants which appeared in the Seattle
P-I. under date of April f. last, and
in other Hearst papers from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast either
prior to or following that date.
Too Much Money
The prime causes for so much
wekedness, said the Hearst article,
was the plentitude of money among
fishermen frequenting Ketchikan, the
readiness of business men of the
town to pander TO their vicious
tastes and the willingness of Federal
officials to allow criminals to ply
their iniquitous callings without in
reference.
In lurid colors the alleged deprav-
ity of Ketchikan was set forth for
the nation to read. 1t was told that
the city was a rich seaport, a great
fishing center, made extraordinarily
prosperous by the wealth which the
ocean yields and gone degenerate.
Part of it. called Indian town"
was set apart for the occupancy of
native Indians. who are civilized and
decent folk A dsreputable and
criminal element has invaded and
occupied Indian town, establishing
there a red Light district with 200
or more bad women, making ii a
colony of bootleggers, dope sellers,
gunner, and low-elass Japanese, Chi
nese. MeXicans and Filpinos, who
are crowding out the gentle and in
offensive Indian, whose property
rights ARE submerged in a flood of
vice 49, not merely defiant but
arrogant in Ketchikan"
Is Worst Pest Hole
Answering the question for what
reason does Ketchikan continue to
be perhaps the worst pest hole in
American, the Hearst article said
~, tt-
the failure of Federal officials to
enforce the law - Another is the
Indifference of the Department of
Justice at Washington =. The third
is the willingness of the commercial
interests in Ketchikan to allow
things to run along as they are.
Plenty of vice stimulates business.
Bad women buy expensive clothes
and iewelry; and so on with other
things
bad women are the bartenders.
The brothel is a ginmill with dope
selling as a sdeline. Liquor, mar
eotics, and wild women form one
big industry.
"As already said, ketchikan is
great fishing center; it is also an
important port of call for sea traffic
All ships going north or south stop
there. The town is rich, with guam
titles of money flowing through
hands OF business men, many of
whom. for the sake of the direct and
indirect revenue they derive from
vice, are satisfied with existing con-
dtions. Every vessel that stops at

PEKING, November 29.-The civil

power over the republic because or
the factional stress among it's prov
inces. has resigned in what Is said to
be an effort to force the northern
militarists to assume responsibility for
the administration.

The telegram declares that the i'm

Chinese Belgian treaty recently per-

of the fact that the finances of the

Authority and Prestige Gone.
The Kuominchun recently formed
an alliance with the Kuomintang, or
red army of the Cantonese govern
ment, and their combined successes
against the northerners have taken
away not only what remained of the
prestige and authority of the Peking
government but have obtained actual
control of more than half of the old
empire.
The Kuominchun forces have not
had the brilliant successes of the Can
tonese, but through the alliance a
Gordon is created around the Peking
domain which virtually limits egress
to the sea. Cantonese victories have
succeeded one after another in amaz-
ing rapidity.

 Evasion of responsibility is a most serious offense for which the depart ment required the surrender of lgs licenses in 1925. as against l9l m 1924. Fifteen operators were detect ed operating while under suspension, and subject to further discipline.
 Sixty-one operators lost their H. censes because the department. after investigation. adiudged them 'impro- her persons" to have the right Co con- trol motor vehicles on public high ways. Four lost their licenses for leaning it to others and ,236 were caught operating without license and therefore put on the ineligible list for the time being.

THE UNHoLY THREE" RICH
 IN THRILLS AND ROMANCE

Tod Browning's master crook film "The Unholy Three" a Metro-Goldy. wyn-Mayer production interpreted by an ail-star cast. will be seen next week at the Victory Theatre on Tues day and Wednesday.
 Browning, who has always been re- garded as a master director of this sort of melodrama, IS said Co have made a heart-interest drama that will live long time as the best film of this type.
 The story is film adaptation froT |C A. Robbins work and was pre- pared for the screen by Waldemar Young. former police reported, who is familiar with the life of the under world.
 The all-star cast includes: Mae Busch. Lon Chaney. Matt Moore. Vic tor MeLaglen. Harry Earles. Mathew Betz and several others familiar to the fans.
 Miss Busch has the featured role and Chaney, who is considered the real master of the art of makeup, plays a dual role that will not soon be forgotten. Matt Moore has the role opposite Miss Busch and Victor Me. Laglen, celebrated English actor and Harry Earles, thirty-hve pound mid get, are two of the "heayies.
 The story has to do with the adven- lures of three freaks from a museum who organize a bank of crooks and operate under the cover of a bird and animal store.
 Browning has filled this picture with heart interest and the scenario writer has woven in a well-defined thread of romance.
