 SHOCKING CASE
Brother of Girl, Kept in Solitary Confinement,
 Tells Story

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. g. Francis Riley, aged IS years, told a Police Court Justice last Satur- day, that he had seen his thirteen year r-old sister Edith, suffer hunger in solitary confinement and had also seen her beaten at least 25 times.
 The girl Edith was taken to a hospital last Friday night after the police removed her from a closet in the home of her father and stepmother where she had been kept a prisoner for the last four years. ~
 Francis said he had heard his sister cry in hunger. He said he had seen her but five or ten times in recent years.
 During the winter they kept her in a room on the top floor of the house Other times they brought her down stairs to the closet which was about six feet square, Francis said.
 He said his sister was given a pan of water and when there was any food left, she had been given something to eat.
 Francis said he had seen his stepmother beat Edith until her head bled. :. |. The girl was found when the po- lice investigated a story Francis had told school mates about his sister being kept prisoner. The police found the girl in a window less closet amid filth. She was clad only in a shirt-like garment.
 Lester Riley, the father, and his wife, were arrested, charged with cruelty and released on 5000 bonds each. After Francis told his story, the bonds were raised to $2500 each pending grand jury investigation.
 The father only replied to police questioning that the girl had bad habits and had to be locked up.

 Friday Evenings

Many Juneau residents interested in the study of Bible Prophecies" and especially in the subject of the Second Coming of Christ, were present in the Odd Fellows building Sunday night to hear Pastor H. L. Wood lecture.
 The speaker pointed out that for 40oo years the world awaited the fulfillment of the promise of the first coming of Christ as the Mes siah and Redearner, which today is recognized as a historical fact by which history is dated. Will Come to Rule
 Pastor Wood then called atten- tion to a few of more than 300 prophecies in the Bible, which he declared predict the second re- turn of Christ to this world, not to suffer and die as a malefactor, but to judge the world and reign over Kingdom of righteous. sub jects. s Among these prophecies were some of a most interesting char acter. Henry Ford was not pro- phecied in the Bible but automo- piles were according to Nahum.
 Described in One Verse
 Here the prophet in one verse describes modern automobile so accurately that the speaker offered any person the gift of $11 Bible if they could describe an automo- bile better than Nahum described it .2500 years ago, and use fewer words.

However, know that high rates will decrease business and that moderate rates will increase business. My opinion that the Alas ka Railroad rates should be adjusted" Congressman Addison T. Smith re- marked:
 Every Congressman and Senator should come to Alaska. Federal law
  makers should make themselves &C., quainted with this great Territory and then they would be more capable and more willing to cooperate in its development.
 "The annual deficit of the Alaska Railroad makes some of the federal lawmakers nervous, but do not think that the system should be disposed of or it's service curtailed to the detri- ment of the development of the .coun- try.
 "The crying need of Alaska is air mail. To wait three or four days for letters from the States is archaic in view of late aerial development, and this terrible fault should be .remedied by the Federal Government at once.
 Establishment of an air mail ser vice in the North will help business not only in this Territory but also in theStates.

 About the only important fact in the Union Signal item is the tdeclara- tion that those interested in .prohibi- tion "had sufficient time to rally their forces" They were rallied and failed to get a sngle vote against the repeal measure.
 It might be well to add that the Bone Dry repeal measure was not sprung as surprise. It had been dis cussed by the people for several years and sentiment for it is indis- putably overwhelming.

 True to their word while here in Fairbanks, our distinguished guests, tthe visiting congressman, are loud in their praise of the Territory, and while in Juneau on their return trip ito the States said the Federal Gov ,ernment, through its legislative and administrative branches, should be teager to encourage every effort di- lrected toward development activities.
 Congressman Frank Murphy said:
 9Th Fedeal Government should rec itify the mistake it has made in the policy of administering the Alaska Railroad. Lower rates should be re- stored. Service adequate in every particular should be maintained

Neither Congress nor the Interior Department should worry or .quibble about :an operating deficit. fhe nation can afford to meet this comparatively small deficit in the in- tterest of the Territory, for ultimately Alaska will repay many fold.

 The Union Signal, labeled Official Organ of the National Women's Chris Temperance Union, contains the following in it's June 27th edition: Attempts of Vets to Repeal Alas.
 ka's Dry Law Meets Defeat.
 "An attempt during the recent session of the Alaska Legislature to repeal the so-called Bone Dry Law resulted in strengthening rather than weakening the act" says the Christian Science Monitor. An amendment which was passed unanimously in both houses em- powered the United States commis- sioner's court to try, convict and pronounce sentence upon all found guilty of violating the law.
 The repeal measure was carried unanimously in the House, but was blocked in the Senate because those interested in prohibition and law enforcement had sufficient time to rally their forces, and so strong was the pressure brought to bear upon the Legislature that it pro- ceeded, mot to repeal the dry law, but to. strengthen it.
 Which illustrates the lack of relia- bility behind much of the propaganda that makes the rounds of the. daily press. The fact is that the Alaska Senate passed the Alaska Bone Dry repeal law by unanimous vote. It went up to the Senate from the House, which it had passed by an

for full page from the former non-adver-
tiser.

bushes. His advertising competitors had
taken his trade and there was nothing left
for him to do So the newspaper man had
landed his prospect at last.
The merchant recognized the power of
advertising to help him get QUIZ of business,
but had failed to recognize it's power to help
him to stay in business. There are a lot of
merchants like that.
