FRANK WISEMTN TELLS OF
 DOINGS ON LOWER RIVER
Fairbanks News-Miner.)

ANS"SS tcIHS Ol tic lOWet NuShO- kwim coantry are told in letter to United States Marshal Lynn Smith from Deputy Frank C. Wiseman, who is stationed at Bethel.
 Increased mining activity is noted by Mir. Wiseman, who says: 'In ad- ditIon to the New York-Alaska dredge, the hydraulic outfit on the Hess ground have had good season. Lewis H. Happier, the Fairbanks min ing engineer, has small crew pros pecting on the Arolic river with n horse drill, This ground is 105 miles below Bethel on the left limit of Kus- kokwim bay. Clarence Berry is said to be back of the proposition, and as Mir. Berry has not exactly been un- lucky heretofore in his mining ven- lures, it would not be- surprising to have them strike dredging ground, as gold IS known to exist in the Arolic for long time past.
 About twelve men were engaged in prospecting their platinum holdings on Salmon creek and tributaries, just below Goodnews bay, the past season. They took out an aggregate of about 100 ounces. The presencerof osmium and other clements brings the value of the product up to S90 an ounce, but as that sent out was poorly cleaned it brought the average down to $7Z the ounce. While some of the holders figure their proposition will produce fortune, conservative esti- mates place the field as a grubstake proposition. Some inquiries have been received from the States regard ing the securing of all the ground under option and the sending in of an engineer to expert the same, but to date it-remains only prospect"
 H. k. Seneff, special officer for SUD- pressing traffic in intoxicating liquors among the natives. and Warren s. Harding, prohibition enforcement agent, were in the Bethel territory before the close of navigation. Jo-I seph Demandel, an old offender, was arrested for bootlegging and upon pleading guilty was fined $500.
 Mir. Wiseman learned that the search made for Klutok, Indian slay- CT of an unknown number of men, by Deputy Flenckenstein of the Third division, was fruitless. Klutok is a cold-blooded murderer who has made travel unsafe over a large territory. A reward of $500 is offered for his capture. He makes his headquarters around the headwaters of the Hoho- litna river. It is Deputy Wiseman's belief that the murderer's capture could be effected by him during the winter months. It would probably take two or three months, he says. and supplies and dog feed would necessarily have to be transported to some headquarters camp in that coun- try and the -pmploymetnt of guide familiar with the country would also be absolutely necessary. The latter could not easily be secured, as the natives are all really afraid of the fellow and would be liable to bolt even after reaching his stamping grounds, but Klutok should be appre- hended before he commits other out rages."

HOOVER
STOPS SEGREGATION
IN CENSUS BUREAU
Presidential Candidate Responds to
Protest of Negro Citizens Against
Color Line in Depart
ment

Washington, d. C.-Vigorous pro-
tests of race citizens Of Washington
has resulted in segregation being
wiped out of another of the govern
ment departments. Secretary of
Commerce Herbert Hoover, presiden-
tial candidate, recently ordered an
unwritten rule of the commerce de-
partment segregating colored and
white employees abolished. Last
October Secretary of the Interior HUI
bert Work issued orders restraining
segregation in the bureau of pensions
in response to the protests of colored
citizens.
The commerce department recent
ly explained Hoover's action as fol-
lows:
"The bureau of census in the
course of its work developed a divi-
sion dealing with statistics particular
ly affecting colored people and in a
desire to extend employment to col
ored members of the staff it placed
the division in their control and nat
uraliy the whole division was concen-
trated in one room.
Recently some complaint has been
made that it amounted to segrega-
ton, which was against the orders
and practice of the commerce de-
partment. Upon the return from
Europe of the director of census a
few weeks ago, the matter was called
to his attention and he at once dis
tributed the colored members of the
staff. Some IL or ID persons were
involved"

REPUBLICANS
WEAKLY SURRENDER
Hotels Refuse to Accommodate Negro
Delegates to National Conven-

Submits
BUTLER UNLIKE MARK HANNA

Kansas City, Mo.-That the mantle
of the great Mark Hanna has fallen
upon unworthy shoulders is clearly
proven by Chairman William M. But
ler's pusilanimous surrender to south
ern prejudice in the housing of Negro
delegates to the national republican
convention here. Mark Hanna met
the same situation in st. Louis a few
years ago and refused to surrender
to it.
Segregation of the Negro delegates
to the republican national convention
is all right with the republican nation,
al committee.
Chairman William M. Butler and
the subcommittee which met here
recently to perfect plans for the con-
vention, placed their official O. K.
on the Kansas City plan to bar Negro
delegates from the hotels in which
their state delegs tions are to be
housed.
Many race delegates are reported
to have expressed dissatisfaction over
the failure of the committee on ar
rangements to assign them to rooms
the same as they do the whites. The
committees only response was that
managers of the places where white
delegates will stop declined to ac-
commodate Negro delegates.
At the close of Mondays confer
ences, the subcommittee announced
to the press that the Negro housing
question had been settled-the Negro
delegates were to stay at the Paseo
Y. M. c. A, the Street hotel, and in
private homes.
Mr.. Butler, when seen recently at
the Muehlebach hotel, refused to say
more than
"The Negro housing question has
been settled long ago."
The subcommittee under Mr.. But
Ter is understood to have fallen in line
with the plan of segregating the Ne
gro delegates which was proposed by
Conrad Fl. Mann, local chairman of
arrangements.

COURT AWARDS DIVORCE
DECREE TO MINISTER'S
WIFE IN TEN MINUTES
Mrs. Carl Flipper Promptly Granted
Decree Closing Matrimonial
Rift Which Threatened
Sensation
GIVEN CUSTODY OF CHILDREN

st. Louis, Mo.-Mrs. Pearl Flipper
of this city, got divorce recently
from her husband, the Rev. Carl F.
Flipper, pastor of the First A. M. E.
church of Kansas City, Kansas, and
son of Bishop j. S. Flipper of At
lanta, Ga, thus bringing to an end
matrimonial rift that has been given
special prominence in newspapers for
more than six months.
Teacher Stole His Love, Claim
In her original petition, filed last
October, Mrs. Flipper's chief allega-
ton was that Miss Florence johnson,
popular teacher at Sumner High
school and choir member of the st.
James A. M. E. church of this city,
had wrecked the Flipper home, by
assiduously catering to the wants and
whims of Rev. Mr.. Flipper. In the
meantime, through his attorney, Rev.
Mr.. Flipper filed his answer and
crossbill to Mrs. Flipper's petition.
In his answer, the reverend described
his wife as possessing high and un-
governable temper and that she did
not sympathize with him in his re-
ligious work.
She Is Given Children
Through his attorney, recently,
Rev. Mr.. Flipper's crossbill was dis
missed and on the grounds of general
indignities, set forth in an action for
divorce by Mrs. Flipper, she was re.
leased from the bonds of matrimony.
Mrs. Flipper obtained custody of their.
children, Carl F., Jr., IL years old,
and Joseph, 8. Flipper is to pay
stipulated amount each month for the
support and maintenance of said chill
dren while in Mrs. Flipper's custody.
While the spacious courtroom was
packed with spectators, eager to hear
some rapid-firing tongue-lashing and
mudslinging, and great number of
witnesses were on hand to give testi-
mony, the divorce hearing was brief
and was conducted privately by Cir
cult Judge Hall. The case was dis
posed of in less than 10 minutes.
The Rev. Carl Flipper was assigned
to St. Johns A. M. E. church, Oma-
ha, to succeed Rev. w. C. Williams,
few years ago, but was subsequently
transferred to st. Louis and did not
fill the pastorate here.

HEART DISEASE is
DEADLIEST ILLNESS
An Official Report States That Ma.
jority of Deaths Are Laid to 1t

New York City-Organic heart
disease during the past year was re-
sponsible for a greater number of
deaths and larger total of insurance
claims than any other cause among
the 25,000,000 policy holders of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance com
pany. Nearly $14,0O0,0OO of the
more than $100,O00,000 paid out in
death claims by this company was
paid because of death from heart dis
ease.
Next in Importance in this COM
pany's claims was death from exter-
nal causes-violence of accidental,
suicidal or homicidal origin. More
than $13,000,000 was paid ON account
of these deaths. In 1927 the COM
pany paid $2,581,3 in claims aris-
ing from motor vehicle fatalities,
This compares with $580,000 paid for
the same class in 1920, an increase in
the death rate of 67.6 per cent.
tuberculosis was third in impor-
tance with claims totaling more than
0,000,000. This sum was about
100000 more than in 1926, despite
the fact that the death rate in 1927
declined to the lowest figure ever
recorder among policyholders of the
company. Cancer took fourth place
with more than $9,000,000 disbursed
while pneumonia and influenza were
jointly responsible for claim pay
ments aggregating $9,000,000. Dis
eases incidental to pregnancy ant
childbirth were responsible for deatl
claims amounting to 1,354.000.
