WHIPPING POST

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 30. EU.P)
The whipping post should be re-
vived for hardened criminals and
death should be meted out to hab-
itual offenders, Governor William
alfalfa BilD Murray declared to-
day. He believes the problem OF
crime is too deep for punishment
to stamp out entirely.
For hardened criminals, for hi
jacking and robbery with fire arms,
would provide a reasonable term
of Imprisonment, but provide that
upon entering the penitentiary the
criminals should receive for 80 to
100 lashes with cat-o'-nine tails
On their bare backs" the governor
said.
when they left the penitenc.ary,
either by parole or expiration of
their time, they should be given
another whipping of the same kind,
that they might remember for a
while where they'd been and have
no desire to return.
IF they continue criminals give
them the death penalty

 DECREASES IN 1882 Continued from Page One.

the thlrd III lode gold output.
 Placer gold recoveries in the the mines near Kennicott in the Copper River region.
 Silver production in 1882 was considerably less than in the preceding year, due prin- cipally to the fact that most of the silver produced in Alaska comes from the copper ore j.. With the great reduction in the output of copper ore in 1882, the quantity of silver naturally shows a corresponding de- crease. There was also de- crease in the average selling price which adversely affected the value of the silver pro- duced.
 The production of coal from Alaska mines is estimated to have been 102,00O tons, or slightly. less than in 1881.
 All the petroleum porduced in Alaska in 1882 came from the wells of the Chilkat Oil Go. near Katalla, where the comp any operates a small refinery.
 Alaska produced during 19- 32 significant amounts of lead. marble, limestone and plati- mum and lesser amounts of a few other minerals. Most of the lead produced was a by product from the gold ores of the Alaska Juneau mine. Some marble is reported to have been shipped by the Vermont Mar ble Go. from its quarries near Tokeen, in southeastern Alas ka. The mining of certain limestone deposits on Dall Is- land in southeastern Alaska, as a source of one of the constit- uents of cement. was success fully continued throughout 19- 32.
 The platinum metals come principally from placers in the Goodnews Bay district at the mouth of the Kuskokwim river and in smaller amounts from Seward peninsula, near Nome. Production of the metal in 1882 was somewhat larger than in the preceding year.
 Although an extensive pro- ducer of tin in earlier years, no tin ore was reported shipped from Alaska in 1882.
 A small amount of quicksil- yer is said to have been retort- ed at the deposits near Sleit- mute in the central Kuskokwim i valley.

OPENED HERE
. FOR 100000
Demonstration Tentatively Set
for Inaugural But May
Be Deferred

Plans for another mass demon
Stration in Washington to win
immediate cash payment of the
bonus are now being made by the
Veterans National LiaiSon Com
mittee, it was learned today.
1t was confidently asserted that
the coming demonstration will
greatly SurpaSS that OF the origi-
nal Bonus Expeditionary Force.
More than 100000 participants,
it was predicted, would come to
Washington when it eventuateS.
The time and general program
have not been definitely SIT, One
proposal is that the demonStra-
ton take place about inaugura.
ton day, and that one of its
aims should be the calling of a
special session Of Congress.
May Come in Spring
Another plan, based on the
probability of inclement weather
in Washington at that time, pro-
videS for the arrival here then
of delegates from the various
organizations cooperating in the
Veterans LiaiSon COMMITTEE and
setting the mass. demonstration
for a time when it would consti-
tute no great hardship for men
to camp in the open.
The principal problem, it was
said at headquarters, was that
the men were "rarin' to CO." and
did not want to have any long
delay in the movement.
Any political affiliations so far
as the proposed demonstration
is concerned are completely dis
avowed. 1t was said that the
bonus demand would be para
mount, for the reason that the
bonus is only another name for
