gings and denied his father mis-
treated Edith. When Keogh
asked how the child was beaten,
Francis replied:
She kicked her In the face
and made it bleed, and then
I saw her hit her in the mouth
with her Shoe"
After the hearing Keogh told
reporters that Francis had said
his parents threatened to beat
him if he testified.
Out of Bondage
The child, after her rescue yes
terday at lilo Rhode Island Ave.
N. W., by Mrs. Ruby G. Brandt,
policewoman, was taken to Gal
linger Hospital, where her frail
body was washed, her emaciatcd
limbs clad, and her desire for
wholesome food satisfied.
She was so weak she was un-
able to support her weight on
long-unused legs but was carried
in to play with a disheveled doll
for the first time in many
months.
She slept on a clean bed for
the first time in years and per.
haps forgot her long bondage in
the bedless, dark, and airless
closet.
The brother, Francis, student
at Langley Junior High School,
after being tormented by the
thought of the child's bondage,
tried secretly to release her, he
said. The boy asserted:
'"When my Step-mOther wasn't
home, 1 took a key had
found and crept into her bath
room. l opened the closet
door and it broke my heart to
see Edith. l wanted to carry
her out and away, maybe to
q hospital, anyhow somewhere,
to help her, but l couldn't
get the chance"
Francis then told an aunt
who had returned to Washington
and she made plans for the girls
release.
It was learned that Louise
Riley, 20, a sister of Francis
Riley, brother of the little girl,
would tell the Grand Jury of tor
lures inflicted upon the child
over a period of four years. T.
Some years ego Louise will tell
the Grand Jury. she saw Edith
in room in the house with her
hands and feet tied so tightly
that they were horribly swollen,
and had blood on them.
A large crowd gathered outside
the Grand Jury witness room,
with everyone unanimous that it
was beyond belief that such a
thing could happen in the Ma
tion'S Capital.

REPLIES FAVOR RECORDING
 PLAN FOR TRAP LINES
Anchorage Times.)


 Of the replies thus far received by the Alaska Game Commission to the questionaires pertaining to the pro position of registering trap lines, full ly 0per cent are in favor of it, .ac- cording to H. w. Terbune, executive officer of the commission, who was in Anchorage last week.
 About 2,0O0 questionaires were sent out from the Juneau office to trappers in all parts of the Territory, and it is hoped that a sufficient num- Der of replies will be received to en- able the commission, at it's annual meeting in the late fall to arrive at a definite conclusion regarding the sen timent of the trappers.
 This is not proposition that the Game Commission is trying to "put over" on the trappers, MT. Terhune assured the Times. What is being done is merely. an effort to ascertain the views of the trappers on the ques- tion and if it appears to be the desire of the majority to protectt heir trap lines in that manner, a plan probably will be formulated by the Commission to enable them to do so. But not otherwise.
 Sentiment among trappers north of the Yukon river appears to be overwhelmingly in favor of registra- tion, according to MT. Terhune. They have expressed a willingness to have their districts recorded immediately, and yet they stand less in need of such protection than the trappers of any other district for the reason that they have their own wya of prevent ing encroachments on established trap lines.
 Registrations present somewhat of a problem in some sections of the Territory, while in others 1t will be comparatively simple to work out satisfactory arrangement Mr. Ter hume is of the opinion that Southeast ern Alaska is one district in which some difficulty may be experienced in working out satisfactory plan, but he sees no reason why the rest of the Territory cannot be registered if it is the desire of the trappers to do so.

tion and divided his time between that work and prosperting. He had been out of work sinre April, and it is be- lieved that despondency over his ina bility to obtain employment caused him to take his life. He was a mem- Der of the Anchorage Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska.
 Letters left by the oldtimer in his room at the Pioneer Hotel in Fair banks give encouragement to the sui eide theory. The letters were ad- dressed to the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Pioneers of Alaska, and the United States attorneys office. In the letter to the U. S. attorney Crison said he was tired of struggling along without work and would be dead when the letter was read.
 In payment of debts he willed a watch and chain to the Model Cafe and shotgun to the Pioneer Hotel. He took the shotgun with him when he left the hotel.
 Ben Hoerler, a resident of Fair banks for Fl years, and a pioneer in the service of the Alaska Railroad died at Fairbanks a few days ago, a victim of heart disease, from which he had been a sufferer for several years
 Ben Hoerler was born in Texas 52 years ago, and was a veteran of the ] Spanish-American war. He went to Fairbanks in 1910. Surviving the oldtimer are widow and grown son at Fairbanks, brother, Harry Hoer- Ter, in Anchorage, and father and mother in the States.
 Deoth removed a well known old timer of the Seward district few days ago when Frank Straubinge1 was gathered into the fold. Cancer in the head brought his death.
 MT. Straubinger, who was between { the age of 55 and SO, and of Swiss extraction, had been suffering from a cancer in the eye for years, and about a year ago went to Portland, Ore, for special treatment. It appears tn growta had made such an inroad that little hope was held for recovery. He returned to his northern home re- signed to meet his fate with the same cour which he had displayed all thro .s-l his 25 or 30 years residency on LIe beautiful shores of Lake Ke- mai, where he had a wilderness home.
 Destructive black bears, which an- nually cause Matanuska farmers a lot of annoyance, raided the farm of Jerome Elliott few nights ago and killed sixty-two turkeys which were being raised for the holiday trade.

After months of suffering, death came few days ago to the relief of Rasanus l. Simonson, prominent resi- dent of Anchorage since 1915. His fatal illness came upon him about six months ago, an abdominal eancerous growth, which sapped his strength rapidly. For upwards of week prior to his death he was virtually uncon- :scious. When the end finally came there was a brief period of conscious ness and seeming relief from the in- cessant pain which had accompanied the long illness.
 Mir. Simonson was 70 years old last March He was born in Norway and came to the United States in 1881, locating in North Dakota, where he was engaged in the hardware busi- mess for many years. He went to An 'chorage in 1915. Surviving him, in addition to his widow, are six daugh- ters and three sons, all but one of whom reside in Anchorage
