REWEDS WIFE
 WHOM HE SHOT

FRANKFORT, Ky, March 2- Sherman Roberts shot his wife while in temporary rage and was sentenced to five years in the state reformatory. He served a little more than year.
 In the meantime, his wife ob- tained a divorce. But Mrs. Rob- erts apparently still loved him and remembered him as the rath- CT gallant and handsome young country man. She went to Frank fort and had long conversation with Gov. w. J. Fields.
 As a result. the governor issued Roberts pardon. Then there was another request, as result of which Roberts was escorted to the governors mansion, where he and his former wife were mar ried. They left at once for an Ohio town. where it was said Rob- erts had been assured good po- sition

s. E. A. HOOPSTERS
 FAIL TO AGREE ON
 TITULAR PLAYOFFS

Channel hoop champions are having considerable difficulties in arranging for playoffs to detei- mine the best quintets ill South eastern Alaska. A week ago to- day the Douglas girls won the northern division and six days ago Petersburg beat Ketchikan to win the southern, division of the conference.
 Since that time, with the divi- sion champs determined, nothing has been lined up as to where and when the s. E. A. teams would meet for pennants. w. K. Keller of the Juneau Schools has been in communication with the Peters burg school, and the last word he had from there was to the effect Petersburg felt the Juneau and Douglas floors could not be con sidered neutral.
 MT. Keller felt, he said, the To- cal floor was as neutral as the Wrangell floor. for the Peters burg boys have played about half a dozen games in Wrangell, while the Hilltoppers have had only two more contests in the A. B. Hall. He received cable from Wrangell today inviting the Ju- neau five to come to that city for the series. Boat schedules are more favorable to Juneau going to Wrangell than for Petersburg coming here, figuring on the logi- cal dates for the playoffs, it was said.
 Latest reports from the Island school are that the Ketchikan and Douglas sextets are unable to come to an agreement. The Chan nel team sent an invitation to the First City team to play the

 Experts of the London Under ground system, by comparing the number of passengers. have con. cluded that Tuesday is the worst day of all the business days of the week because of the decrease in travel
 The Underground figures show that on an average week day the tubes account for t,029,631 fares. but on Tuesday the average drops to 9S0,235.
 We are mystified," say the Underground officials, "and can. not explain the falling off in busi ness. excepting to conclude that Tuesday. for some reason. is the blue day of great many of our patrons

SANTA FEE. N. M., March ? Wife stealing among the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico is a prob lem which reservation agents and uperintendents face with hands tied
 The latest census shows there are 905 more Indian men than women in New Mexico. The ln- dians are under federal laws which do not prohibit an Indian man from appropriating another squaw, if she consents. Something should be done about it, the sup. erintendent of northern Pueblos advised his superiors in Washing ton
 Secretary of Interior Work in his report on the bureau of h. dian affairs says:
 Much of this trouble occurs in the case of young educated h. dians informed as to their obli- gations but also aware of the difficulties involved in any at tempt to evoke a penalty against them.
 Legislation is needed requiring that marriage and divorce be- tween Indians be in accordance with the laws of the state in which they live, effective at a flu ture date to be assigned. This Legislation would not interfere with any special Indian marriage ceremony desired, but merely re- quire compliance with the rules of decency."
