These overlooked clues promptly eliminated
several possible suspects form the picture, and
served to narrow the scope of the investigation
considerably. The Federal agents reflected on
the known facts in the case Miss Schmerler
had planned to attend the Canyon Day dance
but had learned that Claude Gilbert could not
take her. Her next move, more than likely,
would have been to seek another escort, or to
borrow horse and go alone, as she had done
frequently before.
Near Miss SchmerlerS home was the camp
OF Samuel Seymour, Apache whose actions
had been suspicious ever since the murder.
Seymour had been overheard to warn another
Indian not to talk to any one about the case
Seymour's alibi had been puncture- proof when
he was questioned but he had been extremely
nervous and had given officers the impression
he knew something about the murder Street
grilled Seymour relentleSsly, with the aid of
an interpreter. but without result. From
another scource, however, after patient and
diligent inquiry, the agent learned that Golney

been seen horseback in the neighborhood
OF ms fathers home on the evening of the
Staying. The younger Seymour had been
accompanied by his brother -in-law, Bob Gate

Neither Gatewood nor Mac Seymour had
been under suspicion prior to this discovery
Fearing to trust Apache interpreters Street
obtained the services of an interpreter from
another reservation before proceeding to
question Gatewood and Seymour.
Gatewood was examined first He was
evasive in his answers and was caught in several
lies, but he insisted he knew nothing about
the crime. Street was convinced the Indian
knew a great deal about it, and ordered him

when he arrived at this canyon they became
involved in fight. That the girl got knife
out of her beaded bag and attempted to cut
him with it; that he took the knife away from
her and cut her on the head. That he later
cut the white girl around the head, also cutting
her neck and when he left her she was dead.
He later went into my camp and got some
water and washed the blood off his sleeves
and hands and related part of the conversation
he had had to me in the presence of my wife,
again telling us that if we reported him he
would kill us. After he had washed the blood
off his sleeves and his hands he got his
horse and left saying that he was going to the
Canyon Day dance.

Gatewood had made a statement. Golney
Seymour was arrested the next morning at
McNary, Ariz On arriving at Whiteriver he
pulled the Indian interpreter aside and asked
him whether Gatewood had talked The in

Thus was set the stage for the impromptu

Not only Seymour, but the Indian inter-

mediumistic powers of communication with the
dead How could he speak so positively of all
these things unless he had talked to the ghost
of the white girl?
Seymour readily dictated and signed a full
confession. In the first part of the statement

SALMON PRICES

Pink salmon was selling at 85 cents per dozen; reds, $215 per dozen. MT. Harris, of Hawk In let recently stated that there would be another drop in the price of salmon. It will be re- membered that in the early days to 1912, pink salmon cost from one-half to one cent each and the finished product sold at 67 cents per dozen and not so many cannery companies were on the financial rocks Traps cannot deliver salmon to any corporation that cheap-in spite of it's efficiency. The only solution is for the operators to get back to the seine method of getting their fish.

NOT OUR FAULT

Last week, Representative Frank Foster passing through Petersburg announced that the Ketchikan Republicans had a . greed that a convention in Pe- tcrsburg on the 27th was an as- sured thing and asked us to make such an announcement. As more or less good Republi- cans, we gave the matter front page. Imagine our modification to pick up papers from Juneau advising that the convention was to be held in Ketchikan. Well, twas not our fault, We have no apologies to offer for passing such transformation on to our readers.
 It seems, the convention was swung to Ketchikan for the con- venience of the court crowd That's another story.

HOMESTEAD RULING

In the matter of the home stead or headquarters of Steph- anius Sandberg, the Register of the district land office at An chorage has decided that MT. Sandberg cannot apply for a free survey for a homestead as he does not show any cultivation as required under the home stead laws, and that in an ap- plication for a homesite the applicant is required to pay for the survey in accordance with the regulations governing trade and manufacturing sites. At. torney LeFevre, of Juneau, has taken an appeal from this de- cision to the General Land Off, fee at Washington, for the rea- cons that the Register erred ill holding that to obtain a free survey for a homestead or head quarters applicant must show cultivation, and because he err ed in holding that an applicant for a homesite is required to pay for the survey.

million below normal deposits.
 The several cannery corpora tions have announced that they will not operate but one or two units each-moSt of which will be supplied from traps of their own. Not much labor will be imported and not much hired. The question is What will the local labor do? It has been Sug- gested that Alaska labor can try sitting on their hands to keep them warm.
 When labor is poor, business is poor. It seems that business, in Alaska has much, to gain by supporting the effort of Alaska labor to earn a decent livlihood More and more, it will be ap~ parent that unemployed labor is ! drain upon industry and that business cannot survive by starving out that labor.

FOR CONSERVATION

The Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation and Pacific Ameri- can Corporations trap locations which they will not use this summer will be ordered closed by Commissioner Henry O'Mal- Icy. This has been hailed as a conservation measure" With almost the same stroke of the pen, MT. O'Malley has ordered all traps closed last summer by agreement, must be operated this summer or the locations forfeited and ordered closed. We suppose that this is another conservation measure.

AFTERMATH OF
 MAL-LEGISLATION

Whatever might be the merits in the conflict between Auditor Cash Cole, the Governor and Treasurer Smith respecting the payment of warrants drawn upon the Treasury, which Trea- surer Smith refuses to sign, the fact stands out glaringly that powers given to the Territory under the Board of Control were returned to the Governor by the last Legislature.
 A perusal of the schedule of appropriations, both for fixed charges and new undertakings, shows that of a total of $2,574,- : 50, the Governor was given either direction or approval of 2,131, 1,318.57, or 82.8 per cent, 'eaving the Board of Control only $442,922.93 subject to Le- eislative and Board direction independent of the Governor s control.
 Time and again laws have been enacted giving the Legis- lature it's proper powers under he Organic Act only to have them returned to Federal hands.
 Tn the absence of evidence to the contrary, it would appear that as yet we have not been able to choose a Legislature capable of performing the duties imposed upon it, and these bodies have shirked their re-. 5ponsibilities by showing every thing over onto the executive, CT Federal government. Either that or, as has been repeatedly point ed out, men who have accepted lIcnors at the hands of the peo- pie have sold them out for per- sonal gain.
 Herein lies a problem as it re- lates to questions of government, Territorially or Nationally. Is it "a matter of a general moral breakdown in which the public has scrapped it's honor by choos- ing men minus that quality, or is the fault reposed in those who, thus chosen, have proved unworthy of their trust?
 Tn either case, it would ap,. pear about time to take inven- tory and fix the blame where it belongs. then set the house in order.

QUEER ANGLES

The Troy-Pegues Democrats nf Juneau have allied themselves with Senator Dimond as against A. H. Ziegler of Ketchikan. MT, George Grigsby, former also- ran for Delegate, has flung his dicer into the political arena ano the men of Troy hope thereby to defeat the aspirations of MT Zlegler.
 Announced purpose to have the convention endorse candi-- dates was made recently in Pe- tersburg. MT. Ziegler declared that he did not care for the en- dosement which was in violation of the law and was certainly an annulment of the primary cleo ton. To avoid any ruction, Se-  nator Dimond now asks that there be no endorsements ot himself or any other candidate at the convention, that he pre- ferred running without any en- Gorsement.
 What has come over the De- mocrats? Are they ashamed t0 have the endorsement of the Troy machine that they refuse the endosement or are they just trying to avoid further di- vorce of Juneau and Ketchikan democrats?

NOT BEING STAMPEDED

The politicians are moving about looking for political sup port this early and the filing is not complete until the Fourth cf February. In the past, the Alaska Native Brotherhood has assisted in making up the Re- publican ticket, endorsed them supported them and financed the major portion of the cleo ton. For all of which William L. Paul was damned from Cape Fox to Hellespont. We wonder just what made it wrong for him to endorse and support candi- dates and right for others to dc the same thing-only playing both ends to the middle?
 This year, the action of the Brotherhood is not centered up- on the advice of any one per son-but is in the hands of three who shall look Unto the fitness, honesty, integrity. and carability of the several candi- Gates in the territorial cleo tions." The writer at this time takes the position, as one mem her of that committee, that any endorsement at this time is pre- mature and not within the keep ing of the spirit of the resolu7 tion adopted by the Brother hood at it's Yakutat convention. There is still plenty of time for the candidates to qualify and to set forth their records for close scrutiny.

STEALS POLITICAL THUNDER

Last week we announced the Wickersham bill in Congress which would give the territory control over it's fisheries. This is n fact a protest against the present management of t h c fisheries now vested in the Blu reau of Fisheries under MT. o. Malley. Speaking of his bill, Delegate Wickersham said: My pill simply gives the Alaska as sembly power to legislate over Alaska fish, game animals and birds, and fur-bearing animals. Congress is in control of the matter now and Congress does n't half do it."
 The Democratic convention in Petersburg this fall inserted in  their platform their idea of local control of the fisheries. :" The Delegate has gone a step farther and should have the support of every Alaskan, Re publican or Democrat for the passage of this bill. We have been asked whether he would arouse opposition in the Terri tory because of the bill-perhaps not-but there will be plenty of opposition from the Fifth Divi- sion.

PLACEMENTS

Effort has been made to patch LID internal ructionS in the Republican party-it had to be if any candidates of the party would be elected at the next general election. Instead of closing up the breach, it seems as if it were opened wider and to add to the differences, the Democrats seem able to run their own campaign and the Republican campaign at the same time.
 For too many years, demo- crats have been maSquarading as Republicans and with their well-organized clique and click CTS, run candidates in the Re- publican primaries who are subservient to the orders of the demo-federal gang. Whether the Republicans good and true will be able to check the shack les of by-partizanship, is a story that remains to be seen. In the meantime, any republican, who thinks that the Democrats are not going into the Republican primaries, is a sap:

1t is adventure in professional life
because it is drama in the courts,
rather than drama which makes
use of the courts for strong
climax. The chief character serves,
and the defense. After making fame
as a prosecutor, he is moved by
remorse because of the innocent
men he has railroaded to the GRIM

famous as a criminal lawyer Finally,
his own life is touched by a crime
which results in visions of the cleo
trio chair. with a dramatic finish,
which not only releases him from
the clutches of the law but clears
the youth for whom he has under
taken the hazard, and brings pun
ishment to those who have fought
against him.
There is a magnetic quality in
that phase of the plot which repre-
sents the vigorous prosecutor as be-

family from which one of the de-
PENDANTS has been taken in sue

for the family and sends the boy to
school, but tragedy impends when
the boy is shared by woman who
already has proved treacherous to
the lawyer. From that time forward
the plot moves rapidly.

BRAZILIAN FORCES
MARCH ON REBELS
Waiting Policy Seen as Army
Is Thrown Around Sac
PauIo.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO, July 16.-The
federal government today began dis
tributing its forces in a gigantic ring
around the rebellious factions of the
state of Sac Paulo and threatened to
start major military drive.
There was no indication, however,
that the drive would start at once,
since it would be to the strategic ad-
vantage of the federal troops to let the
revolt simmer
The waiting policy would tend to
starve the Sac Paulista groups. since
the export of coffee, fruits and other
commodities and foods to other states
in Brazil is the life of the state Of
Sac Paulo. That export has been
stopped.
The government tonight said the 30th
Cavalry of Rio Grande had SkirmiShed
with the Paulista forces apparently
in Southern Sac Paulo). The same
communique, issued at Porto Allegro,
said detachmentS from the state OF
Parana, which borders Sac Paulo on

of all forces and would extend the ring
movement from the north.

yield or accept the consequences of a
federal advance. which, once started,
will be interrupted only by submission"
of the rebels. The skirmishes thus far
we're declared to have been unimpor-
tant.
1t was learned tonight that one Sac
Paulo revolutionary commander had
sent an emissary to the minister of
marine here for peace negotiations, but
that the government had declined to
recognize the emissary on the ground
that his credentials were insufficient
