You will guess, of course, that
the camouflage is to enable them

And, apparently, they'll pull off
the coup. Joseph Jackson has
nearly completed the treatment,
and production is only a short
time off.
THE Dark Horse" deals with a
campaign for governorship. Jack

Doc Howe has hired more than
100 Broadway agents for Fan

he passes out are for so weeks

Agrees to Help

That's Ier, kind of you" she
murmured. II want to talk to
somebody and I need an attor-
ney very, very badly. But I
must tell you that I am poor
woman. I haven't penny to
pay a lawyer"
Mr.. Jones shook his head.
"1t doesn't make any differ
en3e, madame," he chirped.
"We're all in the same boat
these days. You come up to
my office with me and tell me
what this is all about. Then,
if I can advise you, will"
So back to Mr.. Jones' Of
flee went the attorney and
his penntless client. The mo-
ment they were seated the
woman unfolded her sad story.
"A few weeks ago." she
stated, my husband went to
Chicago on some business. We
had a few dollars saved up,
and he went there to see if he
couldn't close some SOrC OF
deal that might make us some
money.
Unfortunately he wasted his
time, He couldn't find the
right deal and he was back
home within a week. He did,
however. find young house
maid out there who was will
ing to come to New York and
work very cheaply, He knew
I wasn't very strong, so he
brought the girl back with him"
II the lawyer saw anything
fishy about the fact that a
pennilesS woman should be hir-
ing a housemaid, he said moth
ing about it. He merely
couehed and told her to con-
tinue.

what can 1 do? Oh, you

Mr.. Jones drum m e d the
table. Here was an interesting
case. but it would take a great
deal of his time. True, he
wanted something to occupy
his mind while waiting for
clients, but he expected some
recompense for his trouble.
Then. too, suppose something
big came along while he was
working on this case -or noth-

o'clock and there W, 5n't any

placed his hat upon his dome
and strolled to the elevator.
AS ne walked through the
lobby of the building he noticed
a middle-aged woman standing
in a corner. PLENTY of middle
aged women can be found
standing in any corridor, but
this was something different.
The poor lady was crying as
though her heart would break.
Other people stopped, looked
at her cufiously and passed on.
Not so with young Mr.. Jones.
He stepped over to her, placed

 Tn Nome, Judge Wickershan heard reports of gruesomc murder on Unimak island. Little d;d he then realize that out of tEis fould grow dramatic trial, ciimaxed by himself when he sentenced the guilty man to be hanged. The execution was car- Iried out, and went down in his- tory as one of the few hangingS ever to take place in the Terri tory.
 Revenue Cutters Used
 The judge and his court party, grand, petit jurors, proceeded to Unalaska, where they held h e only federal court proceedings that ever have been held at that out-of-the-way community.
 Three revenue cutters in the district were used re1entleSsly to pursue clues, to pick up witness es. John McGinn, prominent Alaskan who was then assistant district attorney, had charge of the prosecution. He worked hard and obtained a conviction.
 The evldence, Judge Wicker sham recalled not long ago, show ed that four men, led by Con Sullivan who had discovered the Bunker Hill mines in Idaho, had come to Unimak island. They put up their tents at a camp, left guns and supplies there and went back for the remainder of their possessions. While they were gone a fishing boat came by the camp, the men land ed, saw the deserted place, then returned to their fishing boat all, that is, except a fisherman named Fred Hardy. He refused to go; so the men left him.

 eran legislators who we'll re- member that stirring address. The talk was an exposition Of Alaskan resources, keyed to the roint of convincing congress that the railroad would be a boon to the Territory. And it has been a great help" Delegats Wickersham says today. Tt is true the railroad does not oper- ste at a profit, but that was not Ito be expected. The wealth is there, and as time goes on it will be realized more and more. The railroad is necessary. To talk of raising the rates is a m s a k C The road was built to develop Alaska. Now that the people of the United States have received more than $3,OOO,OOO,OOO from Alaska, isn't it fair that the gov crnment should do something to help future developments"
 Spectacular Trial
 When Judge Wickersham re- calls the earlier days in Alaska when he sat as a federal judge lis thoughts almost invariably turn to what is perhaps the most spectacular murder trial in t h e history of the Territory. It did not arouse the public interest that it would today, but it was the talk of the north for a long while.
 Judge Wickersham was order ed from Fairbanks to hear cases at Nome, where court affairs were thrown into turmoil as a result of exposures that sent of ficials from the judge and dis trict attorney down to minor officials to San Francisco where they were tried and convicted for contempt of court in refusing

The Democratic political pot is boiling here-and the Repub- lican pot is more than just sim mering. Both parties are stirring up interest and you can see small groups of men gesticulat- ing fiercely and talking rapidly on the streen corners. The politi.- clans are fishing for their sup port and some of them are angl- ing for the Brotherhood mem bers. This applies to both parties nominated at the last primary ir April. It is being pointed out that there are many cheap, self ish men in this political game and Alaska is no exception. It is reported that early in the fall, the Republican plan to make an intensive drive through the Div4- sion. And it is also reported that the Democrats do not intend to leave and precinct uncovered. Even William L. Paul, the Lone Wolf politician pans to make 8 trip through the Division. We lare watching to see just how much support the politicians are going to give MT. Paul in return for the support they want from him. Give nothing, get nothing l is rather the sentiment in Ket- chikan.
