BY BEN STERN

WHO is the head man in this
W shown" is the big question
being heard along the "avenoo" on
the eve Of the primary.
There are seven claimants for the
title Of being the most important
Democratic Negro politician in town
and that means the head man on
the "ayenoo."
Boss Of the Negro vote means
something, for there are approx
mately $4,000 voters of that color
in the city and selection of one is
giving Democratic leaders a head
ache.
To be the boss you must be on
the winning side and party prin-
ciples mean little to the claimants.
Backing the winner is the i'm
portant thing Being a Republican
one year doesn't preclude being a
Democrat the next if it means that
the head man can swagger down
Indiana avenue and fix slight in
fractions of the law for this man
and that.
There was time when more
than slight attractions were fixed
and the inability to get away with
it at present is one source of dis
content with the present boss.
Take for instance Henry F1em-
ing of the Sixth ward, who, for the
last two years, has been Boosting
that he is the bellwether for the
Negro vote.
It appears that he can't take care
Of the boys in the manner to which
they have become accustomed and
there is clamor for a new boss.
List of heir apparents is incom-
plete, but there are at least six of
them:
Carter (Bonus) Temple, formerly
Fifth ward chairman, in which lies
the main part of the "avenoo," tells
the Democratic powers that he is
the one to trust.
Along comes Buster Lee, who, to
keep the record clear, is no relative
of "Goosey" Lee, Coffin ward heel
err, now languishing in durance
vile, after several collisions with
federal law Buster" is vying with
Rufe Page, Coffin ace for yAars, for
control of the Third ward.
n
Then there is Beverly Howard,
custodian Of Tomlinson hall, who
divides his time between that job
and running the First ward
This custodian business is good,
as attests Jim Cross, who runs
Douglass park when he isn't out in
the Second Strengthening the boys
out"
Then there is Henry Walker
whose standing with the electorate
of Fifth ward must not be forgotten
for it rated him a berth as deputy
sheriff.
And inaSmuch as the column
doesn't want to be responsible for a
suicide, the name of Chris Fisher,
the mayors messenger, must be
printed. Fisher is Second precinct
committeeman Of the Sixth ward.

SENATORS HOLD HEARINGS
ON WILD LIFE CONSERVATION

The senate special committee on
conservation of wild life resources,
Senator Frederick Walcott, chair
man, held a meeting on the first
days of this week, to pin down the
numerous and conflicting views
prevailing in the country on the
alleged waterfowl shortage, if and
why ii exists and how to remedy it.
Four hundred authorities were
invited to testify before the COM
mittee. These included a repre-
sentative from each of the conser-
Walton organizations throughout
the nation and the fish and game
or conservation commissions of the
states, as we'll as scientists who
have made special studies of the
waterfowl situation and individuals
who have taken particular interest
in the problem.
With at last one waterfowl resto-
ration plan ready for presentation
before congress to meet the report
ed emergency, the committee at
tempted at the hearings to dis
CiOSt 70 what eAlSuI lnSTS ID d
shortage in migratory waterfowl,
particularly ducks and geese; the
underlying causes for this shortage,
if it EXISTS; remedies the federal
government can apply which will
assist in restoring the waterfowl
population; hoy the sportsmen
themselves may best contribute to-
ward increasing waterfowl.
The bill which by that time was
eApected to be formally in the COM
mittee's hands would place a cent
a-sheli tax on shotgun ammunition,
with rebate to trapshooters. This
plan, sponsored by the More Game
Birds in America Foundation of
New York. was selected recently by
a special ways and means commit
tee of sportsmen, appointed under
authority of the 1881 American
Game Conference, as the most fea-
sible method for financing the res
toration of duck nesting, resting
and feeding areas.
The American Game Association,
which suggested a 81 federal Ii
cense for migratory bird hunters,
was represented at the hearing.

FRIGHTENING SKIES

A hundred and fifty million
boarded dollars have already been
put back into banks, bonds and
other places where they are useful,
the committee on boarding reports.
The procession of falling banks
has about come to an end. Rail-
roads and other large industries
have saved themselves from re-
ceiyerships by loans from the Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
Business credit is already easier
because of the Glass-Steigal bill
amending the Federal Reserve Act.
Thousands of factories which have
been shut down are starting up;
thousands more have gone back to
almost full-time production.
There is still an enormous I'M
satisfied demand for every kind OF
manufactured commodities, wise
men tell us. As fast as money and
credit begin to circulate freely
again people will be able to buy.
We are not all going to get rich
in a hurry, but the pessimism of a
few months ago has given place to
optimism almost everywhere, and
we believe it is safe to say that the
economic skies are getting brighter.

PRISONER MAKES LONG
HIKE TO SERVE TIME

Seward, April 1, 1917-Emil
Anderson, of Nushagak, on Bristol
bay holds the long distance record
in Alaska for an 'unescorted hike
from court to CELL Anderson was
convicted at Valdez, home of the
court in this district, and travelled
500 miles alone to Nushagak,
where he served a thirty-day SEN
tence. He carried his own COM
time, been released and at liberty
two months before word reached
the court that he had obeyed or
ders.
Anderson's offense was that of
using a knife in an argument at
the Nushagak cannery. After his
arrest he was transported across
Boring sea, through Unimak pass
and northeast again to Valdez for
trial, a distance of nearly 1900
miles by water. The testimony
showed that beyond doubt he had
cut his opponent, but it also
showed that the opponent was the
as 81 SSSOI. OnuST lu6S6 CiICum-
stances the jury recommended ex-
IRENE clemency. The court taking
cognizance of the situation and re-
alizing that the man had already
been in custody over two months
ordered that he return home and
deliver himself to the Deputy
United States marshal and serve a
sentence of thirty days.
The last boat had sailed for
Nushagak, and Anderson consid-
cred the possibility of getting a
job on the railroad here and wait
ing until spring to go home and
serve his sentence, but he had left
MANY things undone at home, so
he obtained passage on a boat
which landed him at Illiamna, on
the west side of Cook inlet. From
Illiamna, he started on the long
overland journey across the upper
end of the Alaska peninsula. 1t
was Late fall, and there were snow
squalls and every possible incon-
yenience.
For twenty days he waded and
swan and mushed over the hills in
Arctic weather, eating sparingly of
his fast decreasing pack, which he
replenished twice with dog salmon
from natives. He finally reached
Nushagak on October 81, where
