 Captain Anderson reports busi- ness to be fair and on the present voyage is bound for far away Attu and Atka Islands, the furthermost western point on the North Amer ican continent. He planned to get away at an early hour today providing the gale subsided

LEGISLATIVE BOOMERANG

The verdict of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals granting permanent injunction against the territorial Treasurer restraining him from collecting S2oO as nonresident fshermen's tax expected
 As interpreted by the court the size of the tax made contlscatOTy and robbed of it's virtue as revenue measure.
 As explained ill the verdict the law of 1924 granted all citizens of the United States the right to fish in Alas kan waters under certain regulations These regulations embodied the element of taxation, not for thWartng nonresident fishermen fishing, but as cur rent revenue.
 Had the Legislature approached the matter some thing after that Cf dealing with nonresident hunters probably the Territory would have been sustained in it's position.
 The question of big traps will come before the next session of the Legislature Indications that it will be approached along the same lines the nonresident fshemens license. The primary object is to eliminate traps has been proposed to load them with such heavy taxes as to make them pIOhlbltVe.
 Like the nonresident fishemens license, this is due failure unless it bears the element of equity and is not discriminatory.
 Once the system of taxation is removed from the pack and applied the catch Alaska will place all fish equal footing and at the time increase it's tax revenues.
 No powers repOse in the Legislatures hands to legis- late any industry cut of the Territory
 The place to settle the matter is in Congress, which has the right say to what method shall be used to take fish in Alaska

ANCHORAGE GIRLS MADE II TWO STRA|GHT
 FROM SEWARD HIGH

The secret was revealed last night. Its the guards, who are responsible!
 Responsible for the second de- feat of the Seward High School girls basketball team at the hands of the Anchorage girls; the score was (say it soft and low) 354
 And the Anchorage guards re- ferred to are Peterson, Reed and Erbacher. The Seward sharpshoot- CTS were unable to penetrate this defense and it is no great discred- it that the locals were so badly defeated. The Anchorage guards are feared in their own home town, likewise Over there they are called "The Three Horsemen." Backed up by the sure-shot for wards and spring-kneed center, the Anchorage girls fear no man, woman or child, when it comes to b a ske ball. They held Seward down to a mere 12 tries for bas- kets while they, themselves, took B shots.
 In the first quarter the visitors were air-tight against the fighting locals The second quarter saw Anchorage permit Seward to get by once. The third quarter saw Seward snatch their second bas- ket, while the last quarter showed Anchorage closing up again as tight as a clam.

of Health

We have no more got the ABC's
|of vitamins down to where we take
them in u orange juice, milk,
and vegetables without finching
than we're asked to learn about
IONS. All for the good of our
bodies, if not for the salvation Of
our souls! Yes, we must learn
about IONS! They have been q
little slower than vitamines about
finding our address, these ions, but
we are now told they're just as inn
portant. So, maybe we'd better ok
tend them a welcoming hand.
Don't ask me what ions are L
know they're not atoms. THEY'RE
not baSeballS. They're not ennis
rackets. They're not your wife's
relations. They're just ions. Come
with recent scientific persuasion, it
seems, to supply ionic balance in
the body.
Anyway. I'm telling you about
theml Not much, to be sure! But
I've only just learned there were
such things as ions. Also (and my
reason for introducing them hereC.
that once we get familiar with
them and let them into our sys-

1t seems that what's wrong with
a number of us who'd like to be
younger and snapper and more
generally charming is that we have
suffered a loss of ionic balance in
our bodies.

and that two of the bullets had hit
the car.
The police found that the rear
window of the auto had been shat
tered by a bullet. Another bullet
had logged in the body Of the car.
New glass had been put in the win
dow and paint had been used to
fill the hole in the body CT the car.
The men believed they were now
safe from detection.
Confronted with the statement OF
Inez, Delmar confessed his part in
the shooting of Turner. Then Moss
confessed that it was he who shot
Turner.
The shooting of Turner solved.
the police were ready to continue
their hunt for the slayer or Slayers
of Ernie Cough. A farmer remem-
bered that the bullet that had taken
Coughs life was still in the slain
officers body. About the same
time another farmer found a re-
volver in his wheat field by the side
of the road.
He took the gun to Mayor James
johnson. Johnson sent the gun to
Kansas City believing that some
day a bullet would be found that
had been fired from that very
gun" Then the mayor did some
thinking, fast thinking at that.
He had the body of Cough exhumed.
The bullet was taken from the body
and sent to the Kansas City, Kan
sas, police. They sent it over on the
Missouri side to Gill. He said the
bullet was fired from the gun
found by the farmer in the wheat
field.
With this information at their
disposal, Detectives Ennis and
Phippen along with the ballistics
expert. Gill, all went to lay their
findings before the LeavenWorth
authorities. Along with Sheriff Roy
Murray. white, they began ques-
tioning Moss, Smith and Delmar
concerning their whereabouts on the
night of July %.
The trio denied any knowledge of
the Cough Staying but the detec-
tives found their stories to differ
SO much SO that they were con-
fronted with the fact that the gun
used in the Cough Staying was in
the hands of the officers.
Moss was the first to break down.
He confessed again that he had shot
Turner the night of July 27 and
that he had killed Cough on the
night of July %.
After the Turner shooting the

aroused the citizenship of Leaven-
worth. Cough had been shot down
in cold blood while attempting to
question three men found lettering
in front of the home of T. w. Bell,
we'll known colored lawyer. whose
fight to have the members of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry set free al
ter the Houston riot had made him
nationally known.
A circular was sent out by the
local chief Of police, H. F. Madison,
white, offering a $500 reward for the
arrest and conviction of the slayer
or slayers. The circular added that
because of the dark night. no descrip-
ton could be given of the slayer.
.We can hope only for an under
world leak" the circular concluded.
Cough was buried with the Gus
tomary honors police departments
accord their heroes shot down in
the line of duty. Mayor James
johnson, white, stood On the plat
form when oscar DePriest. mem
Der of Congress from the First
Illinois Congressional District, spoke.
In the presence Of congressman and
city officials he said with tears in
his eyes: Ernie Cough was a brave
officer. He died like a man and the
police department of Leavenworth
has been ordered to leave no stone
unturned to bring his slayer or
slayers to Justice"
The white slayer of Ernie Cough
is in the tolls of the law. He has,
according to the local police, con-
talkie.
Contrary to the expectations of
the local police chief, there was no
underworld leak" The Leaven-
worth county authorities had asked
the Kansas City, MO, police to look
for three men, who, on the night OF
July .27, had been caught in the act
of robbing a filling station operated
by Albert Turner, white, on Route
No. 40, near Tonganoxie, Kansas.
Turner was the brother of the un-
dersheriff of Leavenworth county.
Young Turner had received a
phone call from a farmer who said
fessed to the murder of Ernie Cough
following the murder of a white
gasoline filling station agent the
night before. The whole story reads
like a page or two from a detective
story magazine or the manus cript
of a movie director of a crime
he had seen three men lettering
about the filling station after it had
been closed. Turner hurried to his
filling station.
Asked their mission there. n of
the men replied that the motor of
their car had become overheated and
they had stopped at the station for
water. Turner noticed the glass in

to leave he sought to question them.
One of the men shot Turner. AS he
fell to his knees, Turner fired sew
eral shots at the car which was
speeding away. He told the county
authorities that he believed he had
hit the fleeing car.
Leonard Turner, white. the broth
Ier, obtained the bullet from the
body of his brother. He took it to
Kansas City, Mo, and turned it over
to M. A. Gill, white, ballistics ex-
pert, to determine what type OF
gun was used.
Two white Kansas City. Mo, de-
tectives, Ennis and Phippen, saw
two men near fourteenth and
Holmes Street on the night Of Au-
gust 16. They believed the men
we're acting Suspiciously and de-
cided to question them.
The two men were Mckinley Moss
and Wesley Floyd Smith, both white.
Moss, five times convicted for crime,
told the officers that he and his
companion had a room at 623 East
Fourteenth Street. Detectives went
to the rooms to search the place,
In the closet they found, under a
pile of clothes, a revolver of pc
culiar type.
Moss and Smith were hustled to
headquarters where they were held
for Investigation. The gun was sent
to ballistics expert Gill. He fired it
several times. Their he compared
the bullets with the one taken from
the body of Albert Turner. The
bullets were found to have been
fired from the same gun.
The Kansas City police notified
the LeavenWorth county authori-
ties and Moss and Smith were
taken to the county Jail there. The
third man known to have been at
the filling station when Turner was
shot had made good his getaway.
But his freedom was not for long
The news reached the local police
that a Frank Delmar had been ar
rested in Sapulpa, Okla. He was a
friend of Moss and Smith, it had
been learned. So Delmar was
taken to the county Jail for ques-
tioning.
In the meantime, Capt. Thomas
j. Higgins, white, captain of the
Kansas City detective force, notified
the county police that Inez Wick
ersham, a white woman, was on
her way there to visit Delmar. She
was allowed to talk to him in the
jail but when she had finished she
was detained and Questioned. 1t
was learned that it was her car that
the trio drove on the night that
Turner was shot. They told her,
she says, that they were making a
trip to Topeka.
On their return, Inez told the
county officers, Delmar told her that
they had gotten into a jam" He
also said that several shots had been
fred at them near a filling station

trio had driven to Kansas City.
Kansas, and the next morning,
July %, Delmar said he wanted
to go to see a colored lawyer in
Leavenworth. He said the lawyer
had accepted $1OO from him as a
fee to get him out of Jail before his
term was up and that he had not
only failed to do so, but had re-
fused to refund his 500.
They took Inez's car and drove
to LeavenWorth on the night
of Coughs death. They decided to
go to the lawyers home and force
him to give back the 500 that Del
mar had advanced. AS they were
peering into the window of the law
yer's home, a motor car with two
men in it stopped and the men got
out.
what are you doing there?" one
OF the men asked them, according to
Moss.
Il had my gun in my hand" Moss
confessed. 1T was the one I bought
in a pawnshop in Kansas City,
Kansas. I shot at the Negro-he
was an oficer-and he fell. Then /
ran for the car. I heard severs.
more shots as 1 ran I don't know
whether the colored man fired or
whether 1t vas Smith or Delmar.
AS they rode back to Kansas City,
Delmar told them that the gun
wasn't working and they decided to
throw it over in the wheat field.
They threw the black hat Delmar
had been wearing in there, too.
Investigation of the confession
developed that the colored lawyer
had been informed that he was ito
be put on the spot" He it was who
called Coughs home. Cough had
been his chauffeur before Mayor
Johnson had appointed him to the
police force.
Charges of murder will be filed
against the three men.
Thus, even stranger than fiction,
is the way the police solved the
murder oil Ernie Cough, Leaven-
worth's colored police officer, who
shot down on the fatal night of
July %.
T. w. Bell, the attorney referred
to in the confession of Delmar de-
MES knowing Delmar or that he
eve had anything to do with either
of the men. He was present DUR
ing part of the Questioning of Del
mar and questioned the prisoner
about the alleged payment. Bell
tangled Delmar on the manner of
making the payment.

WHO KILLED ERNIE
COUGH?

Guarding the home of a prominent lawyer
whom gangsters had threatened to put on
the spot, Ernie Cough, L~eavenworth's
(Kansas) only colored detective, was shot
and killed. His assailants escaped. The
Mayor and Congressman Oscar DePriest
eulogized the dead officer at the funeral.
Then a filling station op~ rator was shot by
gangsters, and as a result three men face
the court today, charged with the murder
of a black cop.
