SENATOR HowEl,a DECLARES
 FRIENDSHIP FOR RAILROAD

CORDOVA. = Senator Howell of Nebraska, chairman of the senatorial commission en route to investigate the operation and future prospects of the Alaska Railroad, declared himself here Wednesday as in favor of the Alaska Railroad, but sees abandon ment unless a change is made."
 Referring to the annual deficit, he declared he could see the time when Congress will not pass an appropria- tion bill to continue operation of the road.
 q am told there are 5000 persons living along the railroad and of these there are 4,000 in one way or another connected with the railroad. So we have an investment of SIP 100000 op- erating at an actual defct of nearly $1 100000 year to serve these 4,0OO people. Where else in the United States are we treating our people so generously?
 "I favor public ownership, but pub lie utilities should be run for blood"
 Senator Howell said he hoped to find way to increase the tonnage of the railroad or reduce tn eoperating expense.

going was rather easy until they reached an altitude of 18,OOO feet After that the climbing was rather slow because of the lessening of en- zine power as the altitude increased. As the plane circled the peak, the fliers during part of the time were within 100 feet of the mountain and were able to scan the snOW-covered ice closely in their search for monu- ments which were supposed to have been planted at the top by the Hud- son Stuck expedition. which ascended the mountain in 1913, and by the Lloyd party. which preceded the Stuck expedition. The snow had the appearance of never having been dis turbed, and the razor-back ridge of tRe peak, which extends from the ehe northwest to the southeast, has a very forbidding aspect, being little more than 8 perch, with the sides of the upper mountain dropping away almost perpendicularly for q consid- erable distance.

 intimates as Honolulu Kid," met death at Ophir at a. m. Thursday, death resulting from injuries infict- ed by Del Thompson about midnight Wednesday,, was the startling news to reach here early today with th, ar rval of P. w. Carlson from Ophr.
 A coroner's jury, mpaneled yester day, after hearng all the evidence, brought in verdict exonerating MT. Thompson of all blame. Sitting on the jury were Eric Hard, Vic Hill, Frank Meier, James Robinson, John Stayton and Harry Panther.
 Bergstrom, according to MT. Carl Carlson, due to heavy drinking, had been in wild and dangerous state of mind for some days, in his drinking moods having threatened the lives of a number of people about Ophir.
 Some time Wednesday afternoon Bergstrom went to the Carlson store and demanded some 80 or .25 U. s. Army ammunition. MT. Carlson re- fused to give or sell him this ammu- milton. Bergstrom was drunk at the time. Following refustl, Bergstrom threateied to kill MT. Carlson. Speak ing of Josie Sheehan, woman with whom he evidentl! asssi had some trouble, h esaid: am going to kill here before 12 o'clock tonight"
 q am going to smoke this town of Ophir. am going to kill everybody here. First, I am going to kill Fred, Pete and Panther" said Bergstrom, referring to Fred Roethlisberger, P. w. Carlson and Harry Panther.
 Bergstrom then went to the home of Josie Sheehan, at which place, it is understood, he was denied admit tance. He then wens to the home of Mrs. Anderson, an aunt, on Anvil creek, with whom, it is stated, he was on most unfriendly terms. More trou- ble followed here. G. - you, l am going to kill you" he told her. He had some words with a native in the employ of Mrs. Anderson. The latter made her exit and was starting on her way to town. The native evil dently was also trying to get away, for it was only few seconds after Mrs. Anderson came out and was on her way to town that she heard two shots. Looking back, she saw noth- ing of the native. At this time noth- ing is known as to his fate. Nothing has been seen or heard of him since that time. Whether he was wounded by the shots and made his escape to other parts, or fell into shaft, or met other mishap, has not been deter mined. A search was made by body of Ophirites yesterday, but without the slightest clue.
 Some time later in the evening Del and Josie Sheehan, the lat ter being afraid to stay in town, were on their way to Spruce creek. About a mile out on the highway this side of Ophir, out of the darkness 'n front of them came shot. Miss Sheehan ran nto the brush. MT. Thompjor. with a pack on his back, rems'l d still. From the figure ahead came the commando: Stand still! Raise your arms and keep them up, or I'll kill you" To Miss Sheehan he said, You come out or I'll kill you!" She came out, tried to calm Bergstrom; doing. Bergstrom ordered them to return to town, headed for the office of Commissioner Rolgen. for what purpose it is not apparent
