POLITICS WILL
 BE ABANDONED,
 SAYS MARSDEN
Metlakatla Leader Says AL aska Native Brother
 hood to Quit Politics

The abandonment of political ae- tiyities by the Alaska Nati ve Brotherhood and it's development into a truly fraternal and social organization as was originally in tended was forecast for the i'm mediate future by Rev Edward Mafsden. Presbyterian missionary af Metlakatla. who was Ju- mean visitor over Sunday. He is returning with a delegation of about 10 Metlakatlans from at tending the annual convention of the organization opening at sitka last week.
 After an intermission of several years during which Metlakatla has no been represented in the Brotherhood, Mr. Marsden and his delegation re-entered it's ranks and will re-organize the Metlakat- la camp on their return home.
 The Alaska Native Brotherhood was organized in 1911. MT. Mars den said. for the purpose of bring ing about a spirit of fraternity among the Indians of Alaska, te bring them more closely together, in order that they might aid in solving one another's problems, to further their educational and moral advancement in all ways possible. In the minds of it's founders there was no idea that it should ever become a partisan, political organi- zation. It was intended to be nonpolitieal and nonseeretarian.
 In more recent years, he added. this conception of it has been for gotten. It has actively entered partisan politics. It's member ship has been delivered as voters at the polls at the dictum of is leaders.
 We pointed out these things to the Brotherhood at Sitka and il was with the understanding that the fraternal aims of the organiza- ton will again become it's obiec tive and it's political activities cease that Metlakatla decided to resume it's place in it." said MT. Marsden.
 Very little business had been transacted by the convention when the Metlakatlans left Sitka last week. The time had been largely spent in social activities and en- tertainment. The Metlakatla dele gatioh is travelling on the Estebeth and left here for the south about midnight Sunday.

NoN-aARTiSAN PLEDGE
 MADE TO METLAkATLANS

Herbert Murchison, who was spokesman for the Metlakatla h. dians at Sitka, who was in Juneau over Sunday, sailing early this morning on the Estebeth, said that the Metlakatlans got the direct pledge that the Alaska Native Brotherhood hereafter, would be strictly on-political fraternal organization before they joined the organization. Not only was that pledge made, but it was equal ly pledged that the individual h. dians would be permitted to vote as they pleased without any at tempt at undue influence from the leaders of the organization. Ac- cepting these pledges, g Metlakat- lans joined the Alaska Native Brotherhood.
 q asked the question directly, addressing myself to William Paul, who acted as spokesman for the organization, Is this to be a fra ternal organization as the original constitution provided or is it to continue as a political organiza- tion?'' The answer was that the organization is strictly fraternal and non-political" I then asked, will the members be permitted to vote as their individual judgments and consciences dictate, or will there be influence brought to bear upon them to force them to vote as bloc according to the wishes of the leaders of this organiza- tion?" The answer was that there would be no attempt to dictate to the individual members.

HICKMAN ASKS
LIFE SENTENCE

blame for the murder of G, Ivy Toms
was placed entirely upon William
Edward Hickman today by A. Gray
Gilmer, attorney defending Welby
Hunt in their joint trial fer the
holdup killing of year ago Christ
mas eve.
In his closing argument the at7or
ney for the blond-halred boy declared
to the jury OF six men and six women
that it was Hickman, the kidnaper
and murderer OF young Marian Park
Ell, who planned the robbery OF Toms
drugstore, who did all the talking,
and that it was a bullet -iom Hick-
mans gun which killed Toms. He
pleaded that they would not send
"this blue-eyed boy of misfortune"
to felon's cell for life.
On the other hand Hunt Just
previously had been accused OF firing
the fatal shot in the closing argu-
ment Of Richard Cantillon one OF
Hickman'S defense lawyers. He told
the jury that evidence and testimony
had proven that a bullet of the
calibre of Hunts gun had killed
Toms.
Gilaar's argument was unfinished
at adjournment, and viii be resumed
tomorrow morning, after which Jer-
ONE Walsh, Hickman's chief defender,
will address the jury. The final
argument will be made by the state.
For the first time during either OF
Hickman's two murder trials his
mother. Mrs. Eva Hickman, today
sat in the courtroom notionlessly
stolid apparently unmoved by the
pleadings for her son.
Cantillon pleaded that Hickman be
let off with a life sentence. I'm not
asking you to set Hickman free" ne
argued. "Im asking you to send hun
to prison for life" He pleaded lat
his client already was sentenced to
death for the Parker girl murder
