HELD TWO WEEKS AT
 THE POLICE STATION
Providence Man Holds Record for Inc generation st Putnam Lookup
 Detained on Order Coroner Bill

Haig Bayandorian of Providence without doubt holds the record for long term incarceration at the Putnam police station. He has been in custody of the Putnam police exactly two weeks. The man is being held on or ders of County Coroner Arthur C. Bill awaiting the eoroner's decision on the fatal motorcycle accident that hap uehed near the Grove street cemetery, Thursday afternoon, May 29th. The police give the man all possible liber- ties and he is brought over to the business section for his meals. He has to remain in custody because he has been unable to furnish q bond of $f .000.
 Bayandorian was the driver of the motorcycle that crashed the fence at the bad turn from Grove street to killingly avenue. A companion riding on the seat behind the driver was kill ed. Another companion, riding in the side car, was but slightly injured. This man, Haig Bedigan, it is under stood, IS in some measure responsible for the long incarceration of Bayan- dorian. He has refused to come to Connecticut to testify in the hearing the coroner wishes to hold. It was not until he was notified that if he did not come voluntarily legal steps would be taken to bring him here that he finally put in appearance. He came to Putnam Tuesday and went to Danielson to appear before Attorney Bill.
 Bayandorian takes his predieament philosophically He does not speak English fuently but has made good impression on the police. He is a watchmaker by trade and is today engaged in fixing a watch to while away the long hours in the station hauaa

Banner Year for Railroad Belt.
Seward GatewaY.l

Evidence of the interest manifested by President Hoover in Alaska is displayed in the extension of the Federal expenditure plan to the Territory as a of preventing relieving unemployment during the winter. large force of men dismantlng the Sutton coal washery is part of this plan
 However the pinch of unemployment is not felt in Alaska it is in other portions of the Nation, and the innovation may be justly set down to an increase in prosperity
 But the most important announcement to come Secretary of the Interior Department in the railroad belt in the person of Ernest Walker Sawyer MT. Sawyers assignment is the result of importunities from General Manager Otto F. Ohson of the Alaska Railroad and Is part of his plan for industrial development all along the railroad
 The selection of MT. Sawyer is fortunate in that he is a of dynamic energy believes in action and after a brief survey of the Territory was outspoken in his recommendations that the long looked for of development be ushered in A notable point in these recommendations is the fact that MT. Sawyer finds perfect harmony of opinion on what should be done, and may count upon the fullest measure of announcement and cooperation from end of the railroad to the other
 It is quite evident that Col. Ohlson has estab- lshed firm confidence in Washington for despite the endorsements of governmental procedure he has succeeded in getting his ideas accepted and the machinery created for putting them into execlI- tion
 Thus the entire railroad belt may look forward to banner year for 1880 with more auellres for continued and sustained prosperity than for many years.

THE WORST IS KNOWN AND IT IS BAD.

We have heard the worst and it is about as bad as it could possibly be- Col. Eelson and Earl Bor- land went down with their plane and are undoubt- odly dead Death was undoubtedly instantaneous. That is the belief of Joe Crosson and c. H Gillian, yrho have seen the wrecked plane.
 It is apo-7rrsate thet the d'ss .ho Eiel- con plane was msda by Crosson and Gillian, Col. Elelsons associates and pals. The activity of the Russians and Can Hans and the earnestness Of their purpose to ed the United States and the Americans in the search is profoundly appreciated, but the evidence that Col Eieson's associates in the Alaska Airways Incorporated never faltered in the task is very gratifying to their friends They have continued from the beginning with all the persistence and energy the weather has permitted, and that they worked with intelligence is evidenced by Saturdays discovery.
 It is too bad That is the general verdict People who knar Eiss7n and the narrowing suspense of the last two-a -an4-a h9lf-r nths and all that has been written and said Q. him and Borland had made everyone feel that his interest in them was -ers9aal have experienced a sinking feeling ever
 nee the news came that the plane had been sound and that Eielson and Borland were missing. i will be a long time before the pain will cease.
 Col Eselsen and Earl Borlaad win take their placed among the heroes that have sacrificed them selves in the development of aviation Col Eleson had already won worldwide fame as a flier. He had crossed the Arctic from Alaska to Europe as tha climax Of chapter q heroic achievements in the North He had been honored by his Gov ernmant and fellow ayiators He had made a repu- tation that placed him in that sacred circle that includes Lindbergh, Byrd and only few others. He had received tempting offers from various sources that would have meant wealth and spotlight He pre- ferred however to return to his Alaska and engage in the development of commercial aviation. No name will stand above his in the list of those who have served Alaska.
 word of praise is due those who have persist enty searched for the missing fliers for week after week They have done lot to encourage all fiers in the confident assurance that if accident should befan them they will be the object of immediate and persistent searching.

A FINE PUBLIC SERVANT IS DEAD.

A very hgh-class citizen and former public servant passed away when Stephen T Mather, Director Of the National Park System, died at the early age of 63 He native of San Francisco and graduate of the University of California. He devoted his early years to newspaper work and then became manufacturer and made fortune. He was Q devotee of outdoor life and had become an authority many things when President Wilson, at the suggestion of Franklin K Lane, appointed him to head the National Park System. Perhaps no man in public life made friends easily Or held them more firmly. People who met him on his Alaska tour few years ago became his admir- CTS from the first meeting, and when he left all

Shopping" at it's Worst.
(New York Timcs.)


 Massachusetts appears not to be alone in giving an example Of 'dshonorable methods the part of self-apponted guardians of the public morals in seeking to induce booksellers to violate the laws against the sale of obscene books.
 From Chicago comes the story of the activities of the Illinois Vigilance Committee which closely parallels the of the Watch and Ward Societys agent in Cambridge last month. man, giving false name, asked book dealer to sell him banned book The dealer did not carry it and re- fused to get it. The man returned twice and when he had made the plea that he wanted it for physician friend" the dealer finally obtained 1t for him. The then disclosed his identity and obtained the arrest of the dealer
 This method of carrying "snooping" to extremes in the long run defeats it's purposes. The fact that many of the leading members of the Watch and Ward Society have resigned since the Cam bridge incident, and that the Judge before whom the case was tried expressed himself as most pointedly on the reprehensibe methods of the agent shows which way public opinion is turning Honest investigators, once satisfied that reputable dealers refuse to sell indecent book would report to their societies that it is not on sale

JOHNS CHARIOT RACE By Mary Graham Bonner

The Little Black Clock arranged it so that John could enter a char lot race.
 He had turned the time back so that he had brought the children to see the famous Olympic games in Greece, years and years and years before their day.
 John was by far the youngest person racing but whether the Lit tie Black Clock had given him some magic without his knowledge of it, he did not feel so much younger, nor so much smaller than the others. He was, it was true, tall for his age.
 Peggy cheered and cheered as John was racing in his chariot. Oh, how fine he looked, Peggy thought to herself, and sometimes she said so aloud.
 It was plain to be seen that the Little Black Clock thought great deal of him too, and hoped that he would win.
 And what do you suppose?
 He did win his race. Everyone gathered about him and for prize they crowned him with a wreath
 That's something to have had happen" said the Little Black Clock afterward as they were on their way home, and Peggy said:
 T knew brother could do it. I just knew he could. He's the smartest brother in the whole world isn't he Little Black Clock?@
 T think so" the Little Black Clock said, and while John said it was nothing, simply nothing at all that he had won the race, he did feel proud inside, and he felt very proud too that Peggy and the Little Black Clock thought so muca of him!
 But all he kept repeating was:
 Tt was nothing, simply nothing
