Anderson, Lanstcn Held On $1O,OOO Bond As Suspects In Murder Of Fish Buyer
CASWELL MAKES ARREST IN CAMP ON INFORMATION FUR WISHED BY WIFE OF MISSING PARTNER
Special to The Sentinel

Petersburg, Feb. 6-The coils of circumstantial evidence are tighten. ing around Charles Anderson and Clarence Langton as the investiga- ton by federal authorities proceeds Computations of time eliminate Da- wis and Farrow from the Marshall murder, but all indications point to Anderson and Langton as perpetra- tors of the deed
 In her letter to Deputy Marshal Campbell of Wangell, Mrs. Farrow intimates that Anderson has knowl- edge of the Marshall murder. She claims that the plot was matched in her hearing last summer at Sal mon Bay.
 A pair nf bloody tin pants which have been identified as belonging to Davis, the man who accompanied Farrow when he left Petersburg were found on the wrecked boat Anderson admitted hunting deer al Point Higgens October 20, but could or would not answer the question of why he went SO miles to hunt deer. Langton reacted nervously m der the grilling by Deputy Marshal Caswell, in whose hands the case was placed, but his partner, Ander- son, was coldly indifferent to the questions.
 Evidence in the form of a receipt issued to Gellson. a troller who dis appeared about two years ago near Point Barrie. was found on Ander- sons boat. It is believed to be di- rect evidence in connection with an- other killing. All indications point to a new parallel to the case of the notorious killer, Krause.
 The suspects have been removed to Juneau and search party sent out by the marshal is combing the Salmon Bay and Lake Bay sections for trace of Davis and Farrow.

That the arrest of Charles Ander- son and Clarence Langton, held in Petersburg on bail of S10,000 each, may be the initial step in clearing away the mystery which shrouds the strange disappearance of several men in southeast Alaska during the past winter, is the belief of Depart ment of Justice officials in this div ision, according to a statement is- sued by U. S. Marshal Albert White of Juneau.
 In his report to the Juneau of flee, Deputy w. H. Caswell, who arrested the two men at Whale Pass on Prince of Wales Island, made the following statement: T am con- fident that we have cleared up the disappearance of several parties in the First Division this year"
 Acting upon information furnish ed by Mrs. Albert Farrow of Day ton, Oregon. wife of one of the miss ing men, Deputy Marshal Caswell of Ketchikan made a trip to Langton's camp and arrested the two men on the charge of violating the Alaska Bone Dry Act. They were arraign- ed before U. S. Commissioner Claus en of Petersburg January 29 and bound over to the federal grand jury under a bond of $1O,O00 each.
 Davis and Farrow Missing
 Anderson and Langton appeared in Wrangell January and reported to Deputy Marshal H. D. Campbell that the gasboat T-2709, which Lan- thorn had loaned to Albert Farrow to make a trip from their camp near Exchange Cove to Petersburg, had been found anchored of Fire Island with the tender missing. The boat was half full of water. Lang ton said, and seven fathoms of line out with the anchor barely holding.
 Mrs. Farrow's Charges
 Word of her husbands strange demise reached Mrs. Farorw early fin January, presumably from friends in Petersburg. She immediately wrote a letter to Deputy Marshal Campbell of Wnangell, alleging that Anderson and her husband had had trouble and that the latter had drawn a gun on Farow several times. one night shooting two rounds from his revolver inside the cabin, and that he had pointed his gun at Farrow many times. saying what he would do.
 She further alleged that Ander- son had drawn his gun on Farrow at Wrangell on one occasion, and that her husband had taken the gun away from his partner and punched Anderson's jaw. "He was even menacing with his guns until I hid them or saw to their being unloaded One night he wanted to shoot Al while he was asleep with his back turned" she wrote.
 Winter of Missing Men
 The winter of 1930-1931 probably will go down in the history of All aska as 'the winter of missing men," Besides Farrow and Davis several other men are missing un-

More Dry Dictatorship

Once again the dry forces are using their power
to block reform This time the fight is lberaliza-
ton of the rules the national house of representa-
tives.
Under the old rules, small group Of majority
party leaders has been able to hold powers OF die
tatorship over all legislation This group has been able
to determine which bills shall out of committee
and which bills shall be buried.
It has been able to shut off floor debate even
on such major subjects the tariff In the last
congress this dictatorship was held by triumvirate
consisting of the Speaker, the chairman of the rules
committee and the majority floor leader.
AS the life of most progressive legislation depends
ON changing these rules of the house. this test is one
Of the most important to be met by the incoming
congress.
When it became clear through the additional loss
of Republican seats in special elections this autumn that
the Democrats would organize and control the house,
If was believed generally that this fight for liberaliz
ing the house rules had been won.
The slight Democratic majority. plus the Repub-
lican progressive minority believed to be strong
enough to put across this reform over the heads of
the Republican old guard and the reactionary fringe
of Democrats
Now however. certain drys have discovered that
liberalization of the rules carried far enough &C
tuallv would allow the house to take direct votes on
the subject of prohibition. They will try to prevent
that at all costs-even at the cost of perpetuating
a general dictatorship over all legislation.
Under the suggested reform, one house member
could not block bills the private consent calen-
OARS. and no committee could bury bill on which
a fair number of pettoning members desired debate
and vote. The drys are trying to keep the number
required for dschargng a committee larger than the
number of wet votes in the house,
Perhaps these drys justify their tactics by the
questionable philosophy that the end justifes the
means. But extreme dry should hesitate be-
fore he chooses prohibition higher end than the
preservation OF representative government.
That is the issue in this fight to reform the house
rues-the preservation Of representative government.

The Arrogant Utilities

The stage is now set for demonstration as 10
whether public utilities under any control by the
state
The citv of indianapolis and a group OF cltlzehs
under leadership of the South Side Civic clubs have
demanded a reduction of rates on water and cleo
tricity
At once the public service commission, through one
If its members suggested that an appraisal OF the
nlants would cost large sum OF money ana CliaO
months would be required to give any relief
At his suggestion the city and the utilities are ar
,,i,, 70 GOO whether there can be obtained vol
untary" reduction of rates.
Tn Main language the city will be forced to decide
whether it will take a concession or try to obtain
justice.
The utilities arrogant demanded that all peVlClonS
be withdrawn Still arrogant, they now state that they
will not insist upon such retreat but Will talk Things
over.
OF course, there would be no necessity OF making
new appraisal to fix rates that are more nearly 1alr
to the public Just an investigation of the books OF the
companies into the one item of how much the holding
companies are grating would show vast sums charged
to their operation that do not belong to such opera
ton
1t is these sums which go to make up the profits
for the holding companies that make them SO profit
able.
The purchase of coal by the electric company the
fees for management by the holding company for the
water company alone would give basis for reduc-
ton
The saloons were once arrogant as the utilities
are today The saloons are gone. Some day the peo-
pie may get as tired of utility arrogance they were
of saloon stupidity.

Peoples Voice

Editor TimeS-You indeed are to
be congratulated on your campaign
against the outrageously high rates
of Indianapolis utility concerns.
Every citizen in the city has, in his
own mind, the very same thoughts
that you so ably and Dramatically
have expressed in your editorials.
Just think of it-a city of 100000
intelligent home-loving Americans,
standing peaceably by and letting
these concerns turn their pockets
inside out! Salaries and wages have
reached rock bottom eve hope they
won't be reduced further) but what
about light, gas, water, rent, tele-
phone, etc?
These bills arrive every month,
depression or no depression. Every
citizen in Indianapolis knows that
the rates are too high. What can
be done to cut the red tape, and
force the officials to lower the rates.
or else, better still, sell bonds to the
citizens and thus make for public
ownership, minus graft and bleed
ers? And will we have to wait ten
years?
Russia, laughing stock of many,
would solve this problem 90 in a
hurry. With rifles. Rather drastic.
but great equaIizers.
