mfttee 50 they can tie up the
victims securities In order to
prevent action which would be
taken by a friendly committee
formed for the protection Of the
securities holders.
"Will Be Same Master"
II hope that the investors do
not deposit q single bond or
security with this committee,
for If they do they are placing
themselves in the grip of the
same master in Q new form. It
will still be the Halsey, Stuart
Company"
Senator Blaine demanded action
on his blue-sky security bill and on
his mortgage foreclosure bill, but
was blocked by Senator Hale (R.)
of Maine. who insisted upon pro
ceeding with the naval appropria
tion bill.
Blaine pointed out that the
securities which It is now feared
will default in interest payments
were distributed by the Halsey
Stuart Company. He said that
Halsey, Stuart and Company had
access to the Wardman books be
fore selling. the securities and
they knew that Wardman owed
practically every bank in town
and that it was to relieve pres.
sure on the banks that the new
bonds were issued" about two
years ago.
"Set Up New Books"
The company, Blaine said, sci
up a new set of books and on
them $8,O00,000 represented moth
ing but water. He said that at
the time the bonds were issued
Halsey, Stuart and Company
knew that the Wardman Com
pany was not able to pay carry
ing charges on securities and
that Halsey, Stuart and Company
must have known that these
bonds were going to fail"
Mr.. Blaine said that the value
was inflated to balloon dimen
sions' and that not only were the
stocks watered, but that bonds
and debentures were inflated
about 100 per cent. He said that
there is no chance in the world
for investors to realize upon their
investments, except a fraction un
der the first mortgage lien.
Ear More Important"
In asking for consideration OF
his bill Senator Blaine asserted
that they are far more import
ant than the naval appropriation
bill because
washington is in the throes
Of q financial situation in
which bond companies are hol.
lOw-shelled and are tumbling
down with loss and distress to
hundreds of investors"
Blaine painted q pathetic pic
ture of widows and gullible mer
who had been led into investins
In these bonds and who he sale

wiped out and who today NAV

lr money and has since gwen
her other large sums.
In support of the motion 10
dismiss the bill of Mrs. Whol-
sans. Ms. Henderson points OUT
%aat the former has only a con-
syngent interest in the remainder
and is not entitled to a dlscov-
cry until he death of the lie
tgnart, she further points out
that ne t7s complete power OF
sale urder the wills and may
not be diH ed of it.
She admit that she has sold
CERTAIN properties, but claims
justification for business reasons.
Continuing the challenge of the
purporte parentage of Mrs.
WhOlean, Mrs. Henderson admits
that Mrs. WhOlean is described
In the wills as the daughter Of
John B. Henderson, jr., her son,
but reiterates that such Is not
the case.
Son Owned Two Houses
Mrs. Henderson admits that
at the death of her son he
owned the two Spanish houses
at 1920 and 1922 Sixteenth St
N. W., and that she now holds
the legal title to the property
and has entered in a contract
to sell one of the buildings.
However, she denies that John
B. Henderson, jr., in his own right
owned the farm near Ballston,
Va, at the time of his death. She
says that she found the Ballston
farm to be unproductive and a
financial burden for which reason
she sold it, but she is ready to re
spond or account for the proceeds
Whenever necessary and to any
person who might have an inter
est therein.
Mrs. Henderson informs the
court that she is now SO years
old, and admits during the past
two years she has been i'll. She
also admits having been under
the care of physicians, and says
that she has also been in sani
tariumS, but only for rest and con
venience for short periods of time
However, she denies that she is
infirm or weak physically or men
tally, and says that, on the con
trary, her physical condition il
good and far superior to many
women younger than herself. She
takes long walks and has no physi
cal illness whatever at this time
She denies that she has dissi
pated any of the estates, but ad
mits that she has, from time tc
time, according to her rights
made gifts of a small portion o.
her estate.

they are void because Of efforts
taken to conceal them from the
public.
No Date on Proceedings
Although the petition was filed
on December 80, Mrs. Henderson
points out that no guardian ad
litum was subsequently appointed
or was his answer filed subse-
quently.
In fact she attaches copies Of
papers in the adoption case to
show that the appointment of a
guardian was made and his
answer filed several days prior
to the filing of the petition.
She also points 'Out that the
minutes Of the court included no
record of the adoption proceed
ings until the filing Of Mrs.
WhOIean's suit six years later
and that they are now recorded
by "slips of paper" inserted in
the record.
Not Legally a Minor
She further charges that she
has recently learned that a fe.
male over the age of 15 years is
not a minor within the meaning
of the law and the court had no
Jurisdiction to sign the adoption
decree. Being over the age OF
10 years, Mrs. Henderson asserts
that her ward was unable to com
tnand and she was unable to give
the proper consideration for the
adoption, meaning it is explained,
the affection. duties and obliga'
tions that a minor child owes to
its parents.
Exception is also taken to the
action of the court in impOund
ing the records and keeping them
In the safe of the court clerk
away from public view and in
suection until after the filing OF
the recent suit.
In both The answer and the
7cross-bill, Mrs. Henderson claims
she has amply provided for Mrs

MURDER CASE AT STRELNA
 A MOST BATTLING ONE

Charged with the murder of her
 husband, John M., Arnott, track walk
 CT in the employ of hhe Copper River && Northwestern Railroad at Strel-
 ma early last month Mrs. Anna Mar
 tha Arnott, white-haired, dignified, cultured and kindly appearing, en- tered plea of not guilty when ar- raigned in District Court, reports the Anchorage Times. She walked from the Federal jail to the court house in the custody of Mrs. Sullivan, wife of United States Marshal H. P. Sullivan, officiating as matron, and sat through the preliminary proceedings of the court without emotion. When finally called upon to plead to the grave charge, she arose and in quiet voice answered "Not guilty" Almost inn mediately afterward she was taken back to her quarters nthe second floor of the jail building. She is being held without bail prnding her trial, which probably will be held at Cor dova or Valdez at some future session of court.
 It is the belief of the Government that John Arnott, aged 6I, was mur- dered on the night of September 2 while asleep in his bed in the couples cabin at Strelna- That is the opinion of the members of the coroner's jury who investigated the case the verdict of the jury being that Arnott "came to his death as the result of a gum shot wound inflicted by another per son than himself"
 The Arnott cabin at Strelna is across small creek from bunk house of the railroad where several employees of the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad live On the night of the murder Arnctt had been drinking home brew beer, according to a statement alleged to have been made by teh widow. After Arnott had retired she went across the creek to the bunkhouse and requested one of the men to go back to the house with her. Several of the men accom- panied her, and upon arrival at the house found Arnott lifeless in his bed.
 As nearly as can be learned, no motive has yet been found for the crime and the circumstances are such as to make the case one of the most in local court history
 MT. and Mrs. Arnott were married 1 two years ago at Strelna- The we'd is said to have culminated a i picture bride" and correspondence the courtship of the couple having been carried on entirely by letter. MEs., Arnott, who is said tel have had at least one previous mat rimonial experience, came to Alaska l from Anacortes.

wildcats in their modern home, but judging from the looks and snarls with which they greet stranger, it would not be very nice to greet one of them alone on dark night. And yet George says that they are so tame now that he can feed them in the same manner he would pet dog.
 Convinced that special effort must be made to insure the inclusion of Anchorage in the Federal building program which Congress is expected to approve this winter, Anchorage business and professional men decid- ed. at q largely attended meeting held in the banquet hall of the An chorage Grill, to raise the sum of S2,000 for the purpose of sending a special delegate to Washington to represent the city in the Federal building matter and such other mat ters as may need special attention at the National Capital, according to the Anchorage Times. Attorney Harry F. Morton was the unanimous choice of the meeting to represent the city in the capacity of special delegate.
 While the principal mission of the city's special delegate will be to push the Federal building matter it is ex- pected that he also will work for a downward revision of railroad rates and give his attention to such other local matters as time will permit.
 Henry Rumstick was found dead in his cabin, five miles up the Melozi river from Ruby, on October 27, by Joe Landers.
 Because of running ice in the Yu- kon MT. Landers could not get across the river to report the death until a couple of days afterward.
 An inquest was held at the Rum- stick cabin, and the jury returned a verdict, finding he had died from heart failure. In the cabin were found a still, 150 gallons of mash and about two gallons of whisky. The mash, whiskey and barrels were de- stroyed and the still was taken to Ruby.

Doomed to wander alone, alien from his kin, is buffalo bull which was kept at the College until some time after the main herd had been released at McCarty. It is said said that the other bulls have driven him forth from the bank and he roams the country by himself, never straying far from the others but never able to join them. The bull was seen on the road at Jarvis creek recently by Art Brown, Jim Moore and Dr. Sig Bred lie. They approached within twenty feet of the animal, who stood docilely while they took pictures.
