INTERIOR RIVER
 BOAT OPERATION
 SHOWS INCREASE
FREIGHT ITEM MAKES GAIN OF 1855 PER CENT OVER PRE-
 VlOUS YEAR 2

River boat service, in connection with The Alaska Railroad, showed i'm provement during the past fiscal year. The most notable fact in this opera tion was the taking of a cargo of 165 tons, consisting of mining machinery for hydraulic mining, and supplies from Nenana to Bettles on the Kyu- kuk river. The freight handled was the property of the Alaska Mining company of Detroit. This involved a trip of the steamer Jacobs some 500 miles up the Kykuk river from it's mouth, on a river that had not been navigated by a steamboat the size of the Jacobs since the days of the gold rush. The trip was entirely success full; no serious delays or accidents oc- surred.
 During the time the Jacobs was ab- sent from the Yukon river on this trip the gasboat Matanuska was in it's place. The Northern Commercial com pany lost it's best boat, the Doctor Martin, by fire in the first part of the seasons operation, and the Matanuska after the return of the Jacobs, was leased to them and made several trips from Holy Cross to St. Michaels.
 Tons of freight handled in the fis- cal year 1926, were 3,610, an increase of 4S5 or 1855 per cent, and S49 pas sengers, an increase of 16. The last sailing of the season was made Sep tember 23, 1925, and the first sailing was made on May 12, 1926.
 It is recommended that Diesel en- gine-driven boat to replace the old fashioned stern-wheeler in this ser vice would materially reduce costs of operation.

JUDGE HARRY OLSON PLEADS FOR MORE

Feeble mindecness is a misfortune.

Judge Olson declared that il is the

inviting the detectives to multiply.
Society Must Improve Conditions
Race suicide consists Of encour-
agement of the unfit" he said, and,
reasoning step for step along the
line of Albert Edward Wiggam, he
declared that if society does not turn
its hand to the improvement Of this
condition, ultimately nature will have
to take hand in the matter for the
saving 'of race that doesn't know
how to look after itself, and do it for
them. He warned that nature will
do it by restoration of the old re-

He pointed out that public opinion

limit their increase is that of segre-

Pointing out that the highest type

Science Aiding Work
Tracing the course Of legal thought
from the time when it was believed
that men committed crimes because
they were wicked, through numerous
phases leading eventually TO the
theory Of reform dominant in the
past hundred years. and thence back
to the old one Of viciousness in the
tendencies Of the individual, he de.
elared that the matter is being ar-
preached this time with more light
than formerly. because Of discoveries
Of science. While attributing many
of the more brutal crimes to the in
dividInrs vicious tendencies. he did
not believe the individual is to blame
Cases Of low intelligence aud faulty

to shut him up early in life before
he reaches an age for seriously Grim
inal activities, the judge believes
OF the two, he regarded the emo
tional lack as the more serious, and
rather discounted the influence Of
environment in influencing the life
Of the individual.
He expressed the belief that those
who are insufficiently endowed by
hcredity can not be won from idle
ness and the other alleged causes
Of crime by the force of an environ
ment, and declared that medical evil
dence should be more and more re-
garded.
Ne Allowance Made
"The courts" he declared, "have.
made allowance for eases Of hyper
emotionalism, but cases of hypo-
emotionalism. G or lack of emotion, are
not allowed for"
Pointing out the superiority Of
Germany in this respect he detailed
that the German criminal code is re-
checked every ten years to bring 1t
into step with the latest findings Of
science, and declared that the tests
of sanity in United States courts
were principally laid down in 1912.
He pointed out that it was not the
criminal in most cases who
is TO blame. but the chromosomes.
and, in the final analysis, society, for
not having kept the blood stream Of
t4e race cleaner. He expressed the
opinion that if society does not do
sometime about it, eventually nature
will, and that natures remedy will he

MOB SCENES IN
ATHENS CAUSE
MANY DEATHS
Mutinous Republican Guards
Repulsed in Their Attempt
to Capture City

London. Sept. l0-tR There has
been sanguinary fighting in Athens.
Mutlnous Republican guards and
troops Of the Greek army came into
contact yesterday in a battle in which
there were numerous casualties on
both sides.
The fighting is said to have lasted
several hours and to have ended when
the two corps Of Republican guards,
realizing the uselessness of their at
tempt TO capture the city, struck the
white flag in token Of defeat. The
Officers Of the mutineers and their
men. numbering about 1000, are said
to have surrendered.
The trouble had it's origin in the
refusal of the Republican guards to
disband. The guards are supporters
of General Pangalos, who recently
was ousted from the dictatorship BY
General Kondylis.
Arm0red Car Seized
Crowds Of demonstrators seized an
armorcd car and fighting ensued
when the soldiers attempted to re.
capture it.
dispatch from Athens late last
night said an armed mob had attack
Cd the central telegraph offices and
exchanged numerous shots with the
military guard. The dispatch added
that state Of almost anarchy pre-
vailed and 1t was feared there were
many casualties in the streets
crowds mobbed isolated soldiers and
seized number Of tanks. All dis
patches from Athens apparently have
been seized, delayed or modified by
the censor. Today some doubt was
exnressed respecting the situation in
Athens and the position of the Kondy.

us heads as premicr-dictator, not.
witnstanding reports that the trouble
mas been completely suppressed.
The citizens Of Athens generally
are said to approve the suppression
Of the Republican guard. which Cen
erai PangalOs formed to support his
dictatorship. Nevertheless, after the
mutineers had been overcome there
was fighting between the civilians
and regular troops, the cause and re-
suit Of which are still obscure.
Plastiras Under Suspicion
There is II rumor here that Gen.
eral Plastiras, who headed the revo-
lutl0nary committee which dcposed
King Constantine in 1922 and expelled
King George in 1925, but who himself
was subsequently dcported on sus-
piclon OF plotting against the govern
ment, is Back of the latest trouble
This, however, has not been con.
firmed.
Athens newspapers estimated tht
mutineers lost so men killed and
many wounded, but said the casualties
among the regular troops and citizens
were not known.

LEAGUE ENTRY
Stresen,ann and BRAND Com.
nit Nations to Future
of Perpetual Peace

Geneva, Sept. 10-tR1-Germany
was received into the League Of Ma
tions today amid scenes Of European
reconciliation which in their fire Of
enthusiasm have been unexampled
since the armistice.
Germany and France, through For-
eign Ministers Stresemann and Bri-
and, committed themselves to per-
petual peace, and sOlemnly engaged
the honor of their nations henceforth
never to draw the sword but to settle
disputes by arbitration of cOmpro-
mise.
Three things stood out dramatically
on this historic day. The first was
DR.. Stresemann's picture Of present
day Germany rs gripped only by
lofty ideals, determined to dedicate
her energies hencef0rth to interna-
tional cooperation based on high in
tellectual and moral plane. This
spirit, he said, had entered into the
very conscience, of the German peo.
pie. The second feature was the re.
markablc oration Of NJ. BRAND, whose
l'declurations that Germany and France
have had enough glory in the past
and need no further demonstration oi
heroism and whose proclamation thai
the roar OF guns had now been ri
fenced, evoked tumultuous applause.
Foster Cheers frances Leader

the scene Of almost delirious jubla
tion throughout the vast auditorium
when Sir George Foster of Canad,
arose, as M. BRAND was resuming hi,
speech. and waving high the Unior
Jack. called for three cheers f0I
Frances eminent leader.
Instantly, every man, and woman il
the hall stood and Joined in the up
roar Of applause which lasted severa
minutes and which seemed q spOn
taneous expression Of joy that tn,
two principal protagonists In tn.
, great war had sworn henceforth Il
abandon the use Of arms and seel
solution Of all their difficulties in tht
peaceful atmosphere of the League
Of Nations.
