ALLIES ACCUSED OF
WILSON DEATH PLOT

1.-THE reader well may appreciate
the shock I received as I deciphered
a telegram which reported an
entente plot to assassinate President
Wilson by administering a slow
poison or by giving him influenza
in ice" Major Yardley writes. Our
informant, in whom we had the
greatest confidence, begged the au-
thorities to warn the President.
Il have no way of knowing
whether the plot had any truth in
fact, and, if it had, whether it sue
ceeded. But there are these unde-
niable facts: President Wilson's
first sign of illness occurred while
he was in Paris and he soon was to
die lingering death"
Major General Peyton G. March,
chief of staff of the army during
that time, and others have avowed
they never heard Of such plot.

By United Press
CHICAGO, June Warner Cor
ry, 15-year-old junior high school
student who killed patrolman Ed
ward Smith when caught trespass-
ing in school building, was held
to the grand jury on a murder
charge today.
Cory sat stolidly beside his
brother Earl IL, and Schuyler Pear
son, Is, as the coroner's jury re-
ported its verdict that the Staying Of
Smith constituted a capital crime
and found Earl and Schuyler were
associates.
Young Cory a model scholar,
Boy Scout merit badge winner and
devotee of detective mystery fiction,
was charged by witnesses with kill
ing Smith with four bullets fired
from a 22-caliber pistol which he
had stolen from the school princi-
pals Office and carried in a home
made holster.
Widow Accuses Boy
Among the witnesses who APP
peared against the boys was Mrs.
Helen Smith, widow of the slain po-
liceman, who pointed at Warmer
and screamed:
There's the boy who killed my
husband. There's that model
killeri"
Warner and his two companions
stared inpassively at the widow,
who was accompanied to the in
quest by her 3-year-old daughter,
Irene.
Only once during the proceedings
when several photographers gath
cred near them and exploded flash
light powder to take pictures-did
the boys appear alarmed.
Mrs. May Crabtree, janitress of
the John Marshall high school, said
that she heard the boys shouting
and splaShing in the school SWIM
ming pool Saturday afternoon.
Broke in for Swim
Boys previously had broken into
the building" she said, "alid Smith
had been assigned to help us out
on such occasions. I Immediately
him.
II went with him to the door of
the swimming pool room, saw the
boys were without clothing and for
that reason did not accompany him.
AFTER stepping back into the
hall, I heard several shots fired. I
ran to the telephone and called the
police and during that time the boys
had escaped"
In their haste, the boys donned
only their outer garments. Harold
Lannes, 10, who was playing in the
school yard, recognized Earl Cory
as he fled from the building and
informed police.
Police found Warner in the Cory
home.
Tells Why He Had Pistol
Earl returned short time later
from drug store where he had
been sent for medicine ito put on
cut on Warmers finger" The "cut"
was a wound inflicted by the only
bullet fired by Smith.
The pistol, with three exploded
shells still in its chamber, was found
hidden under a porch.
Police asked Warmer why he had
taken the pistol with him.
II intended to shoot or hold UP
any one who tried to bother us or
chase us out Of the swimming pool"
he replied.
All three of the boys appeared to
be understood. The Cory brothers,
and with thin faces,
we're smaller than their companion.
Warner kept his cap over his
wounded hand. All of them sat
with bowed heads.
The youths mother, Mrs. Adeline
Jones Cory, has been an art teach
er in the public schools for twenty
wears.

Why Austraiia's Collapse.
(Atlanta Constitution

(Atlanta Constitution0
 The usually well-posted and leve-headed Wash ington Post assumes position difficult of defense in recent editorial in which the blame for Aus tralias critical economic condition is laid to the much advertised white Australian policy.
 As a matter of fact, the responsibility for Aus tralias present financial plight should be laid at the door of her Government ownership policy, and be charged to her policy of excluding all immi- grants except Caucasans
 It is no doubt true that the exclusion of labor ing classes from the yellow-sknned oriental races retarded the development of her latent resources but what good would result from the development of agricultural lands in the central part of the country if their products could not be shipped to the ports at a rate cheap enough to permit suc cessful competition in the markets of the world.
 Australia's railroads and other public utilities of all kinds Government-owned and operated. So are many of her hotels, farms, factories and stores. The net result is that costs higher and profits on-existent.
 The farmer who raises wheat in the interior has to pay more freight on his product for the few hundred miles to the seacoast than it costs to ship the quantity of wheat from Chicago to New York and thence to Liverpool.
 Austraa's workers faced with bankruptcy and the bonds of the country practically worth less the result of it's experiment of putting the Government in business. To that must be laid the blame for its present crisis and not to the fact that it's exclusion policy has resulted in the lack of development of its natural resources.
 Unquestionably the policy under which it has excluded hard rd-working laboring classes which would have been invaluable in the opening up of its vast unsettled areas has been a mistake. But in view of the lamentable failure of the experiment in government ownership, it is not logical to lay the blame for the countrys economic crisis to it's white Australian policy.

WISE PRECAUTION.

The Chamber of Commerce acted wisely when it decided to advise people in the States and else where that there is net work for more people in Juneau In fact, unemployment is a problem here Juneau will take care of her people, but it would be impossible for her to take care of all that might come here.
 Juneau is already organizing to give employ ment during the late fall and winter to those at home that might be in need at wage that will prevent actual distress Other towns in Alaska ought to proceed likewise. If every community will care for it's residents the burden will not be unbearable and there will be no severe distress in the Territory. But that will not be the case if there should be influx of people.

length their outrages against the laws and on the persons of those appointed to execute them, and with reminder of another Federal law empowering the President to call out the militia should his warning be disregarded, his proclamation ended
 Therefore I, George Washington,
 President of the United States do hereby
 command all persons, before the first
 day of September next, to disperse, and re-
 tire peaceably to their respective homes.
 President Washington had taken one of the steps prescribed by law and September 25, 1794, he was obliged to take the other. His Pro- clamation of Warning having been ignored, he issued Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia 15,00o strong. To show further that he meant business, he left Philadelphia, then the capital of the United States to take personal command of the army.
 His westward route was to take him through Carlisle, Fort Cumberland and Bedford, but he needed to go further than Fort Cumberland. Washingon's Attorney General Bradford, writing at militia but shook in their shoes at thoughts of Gen. Morgans Virginia Riflemen When these ap- peared the Aleghenies, which long had served as bulwark against Federal authority, the in- surrection broke. David Bradford, the prime mover fled for his life. At another convention at Perkin- sons Ferry the insurgents pledged submission to the laws, and Gov. Lee of Virginia, in command Two leaders convicted of treason pardoned by President Washington And so, without blood she'd the Whiskey Insurrection was over.

A PERVERSE MAN.

Frederick w. Lehmann was peculiar sort or a man in some respects He was great lawyer and successful He made a large fortune In the practice But that is not the curious phase. He was intensely interested in politics and, it is said, dreamed of career in Congress. Yet, as young man when he was most active politically, he lived in Republican States and was a very strong Demo- crat He then moved to a Democratic State and almost immediately became Republican He couldn't make the Senate, but did become Solicitor General Then in 1928, Missouri became Republican and MT Lehman became as strongly Democratic as he had been as young man. It is said this trait of switching from party to party at the wrong tune to win any pots prevented him from 1ohowlng successful political career That probably help full to him personally in the long run. Happiness or wealth or real position do not always accompany political
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-09-21

The dog days and the time is ripe for the politicians to take the stage. They usually do so after August in the years immediately pre- ceding Presidential elections. That is all right. People ought to follow the course of politics and politicians. They ought, however, to be on guard. There will be lot said and written for the sole purpose of influencing future political action.

With nurses being paid $500 year it is not surprising that there is a shortage in England
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-09-21
Not Enough Nurses in England.
(New York Times.)

Recent reports indicate that there is now an abundant supply of nurses in the United States. In England the shortage is causing anxiety to hospital authorities. Some hospitals deliberately recruit ing unpromising candidates, in the hope that the inefficient nurses can be weeded out later.
 A commission appointed by The Lancet has pre- sented preliminary report giving clear picture of present conditions in 686 representative hos pitals. In nearly two-thirds of them the working day is between 1872 and 141a hours with night duty from 11h to 12h hours. AS for pay, the full-fledged staff nurse is lucky if she starts a. about $500 year
 The shortage of nurses is attributed to the bet ter salaries better prospects more freedom, more social amenities and shorter hours offered in other lines of work There is a strange fear that shorter hours and better pay would attract "the wrong type of girl" Some hospitals suggest that pay for the trained staff should be raised at the expense of probationers, who should be charged tuition for student work

T|E-MAKINC TO RELIEVE IDLE
 IN TWO AREAS
Alaska Railroad and Cop- per River Route Letting
 Winter Contracts

Tie making on the Alaska Rail- road and Copper River and North western Railway is being used to combat unemployment in those two districts, according to B. F. Heint- zleman, Asst. Regional Forester who returned here today after a three-weeks trip to Chugach Ma tional Forest points.
 The Alaska Railroad is confining it's tie-buying to the country ad- jacent to the road and about &C., 900 will be cut out there this win ter. While the Copper River Routes purchases will not be nearly so ex- tensive, it is allocated its require ments and limiting all contractors 90 that all of them will share in the work, MT. Heintzleman said.
 Their ideas are identical-to give employment to local residents, and to stimulate business in all lines in the towns situated on the roads," MT. Heintzleman said.
 There are about 30 camps to be operated in the Kenai Peninsula section, utilizing timber in Gnu zach National Forest and selling their product to the Alaska Rail- road. Between two and eight tie hewers will be employed in each camp. They will cut and haul their ties out during the winter montns.
 MT. Heintzleman spent some time in the district looking over areas on which cutting will be done, and making arrangements for sales to the tie men. Later he came to Cordova and went over the work in that district.
