 LOOKING SEWARD OYER
 WITH VIEW TO EASING
The airplane for prospecting.

The airplane for prospecting.
 That is the verdict of ChaS. L. Plumb, who with F. Walters con- stitutes the Arctic AirwayS and who, with Pilot John w. Moore, Saturday afternoon set down their plane on the Seward Airport to take a look over the situation with a view to basing their plane here permanently.
 The plane, a Travelalr with Wright -Whirlwind engine, is one acquired recently, is neat little craft of bi-plane construction with lots of speed.
 During the present season Pilot Moore has been engaged in spe- cial charter work and in flying mail to Bristol Bay, and came to the Territory last summer, being remembered as the young adven- turer who, with a companion, made the trip from Seattle to Fair banks in a 16-foot power boat.
 Pilot Moore has been flying for seven years but has been asSociat- ed with aeronautics since he was 14 years of age. During his brief time in the Northland he has prac- tically mastered all of the air routes radiating from the Rail Belt.
 Tt was an idea born of eXper- fence which prompted me to go into the airplane business, said MT. Plumb, Four years ago l tried prospecting, but found I could not get around the country as I could wish. I also found that a man could not support 9 family on the short summer work aVaila- ble, and after various jobs ! bought a plane.
 T look for 2 tremendous revival of prospecting and mining next summer and have proved that the air plane is the cheapest and most convenient method of exploration As the volume of business increas- es the airplane will come within l the reach of everyone through re- duction in costs of travel, and once prospectors are back in the hills 1 Alaska will see a great mining l bOOm'
 Pilot Moore belongs to that group of flierS who have made Alaskan air history, having beer grouped with Al Monson and liar ry Blunt in Oakland, Calif., Wher all were shedding their pinfeath- CTS and growing wings.
 Pilots Moore and Plumb, carry. ing one passenger for the lowel Kenai river country, took-off iron the Seward Airport Sunday after noon. It is their intention, for tft next few weeks, to be in Seward upon steamer days.

SEARCH Of YEAR
COMES To END
IN BOSTON
Convict Says He Knows Moth
ing of Killings; Extradi-
ton Is Speeded

Under grilling by the Boston
police, George Crawford, colored,
alias Joseph Taylor, today ad-
mitted he was the man wanted
in Virginia for the murder OF
Mrs. Spencer Ilsley, wealthy
society matron and her maid,
Mrs. Nina Buckner, according to
word received by John Galleher,
commonwealth attorney for
Loudoun county.
The man first denied but later
admitted he was Crawford. He
declared, however, that he knew
nothing Of the Illsley-BucSner
murder and had not been in
Middleburg since September 1881.
The two women were beaten to
death in a cottage in the rear
of the Ilsley Middleburg mansion
January 13, 1882.
ExtraditiOn To Be Rushed
Galleher will leave this after
noon for Boston to bring the man
back to Virginia. Petition for his
extradition was filed with Cover
nor Pollard late yesterday and
forwarded at once to Boston.
Crawford, under the name of
Joseph Taylor, was arrested Fri
day an a burglary charge, a year
to a day from the date when
Loudoun county officials believe
he murdered Mrs. nlSley. Galleher
does not anticipate any trouble in
having the burglary charge
waived in order that Crawford
may be brought back Immediately.
The Loudoun county grand jury
is now in session and a speedy
trial is looked for.
Crawford formerly was an in
mate Of the Virginia State Peni-
tentiary, and Mrs. Ilsley had dis
charged him only q short time
before the double Staying, for
which revenge was apparently the
motive.
Threatened to Kill
Following his discharge he was
reported to have told a friend
that he intended to kill about
six rich people in Middleburg."
Search has continued unremit-
tingly for Crawford since the time
Of the murder. 81, ~
Suspicion was directed toward
him promptly because Of his bad
reputation, and the discovery of a
note in his handwriting in the au-
tomobile, taken from Mrs. Ilsley
garage. in which the slayer made
his escape. and which was found
near Chain Bridge, tended to con-
firm the views Of the authorities.
On several occasions Crawford
was reported to have been seen in
washington and every clue was
carefully followed up. Nothing de-
veloped from them. however. but
q similar close watch was main
tanned in Boston. where Crawford
was known to- have relatives.
Killed With BOOtjack
The killing of Mrs. Ilsley, who
was AZ years old. and Mrs. Buck.
ner. her maid. aged 81. was done
with an iron bootjack. The wo-
men, attacked after they had re.
tired for the night, were in their
night clothing when their bodies
were found. Thye had been beaten
numerically and left to die.
Thomas j. O'Connor, a student
Of police Identification, first no
ticed the similarity of the Boston
burglary suspects fingerprintS
with those of Crawford, which
had been obtained at the Virginia
State penitentiary. He was COM
mitted there on former murder
charge.
Roscoe Hill, Massachusetts fin
gerprint expert, and Lieut.. Fred
Sandberg, of the Washington
police department, have checked
up on the prints.

Amendment of the bankruptcy

by President Hoover to be one of

tributions Congress could make

ditions of the country.
In his behalf, it was said at
the White House today that the

committee would constitute the
longest step ever taken in the
legal relations between debtors
and creditors, and would preserve
the debtor and give him an op-
portunity to work out his obliga-

HUNT BEGINS
By JIMMY CORCORAN

EAST PRAIRIE. Mo-, Jan. 1S
O.NS0.-A couple of unsuSpect-
ing lions are due to be potted
right on the snoot near here to-
day in one Of the jolliest hunts
ever conducted on this continent.
Probably you haven't heard Of
Denver Bring En- Back Dead"
Wright. He is on the second edi-
ton of his lion hunting expedi-
ton over on Wolf Island and he
won't leave the island until the
two lions either have been shot
out of bounds or are dead Of
starvation.
While there are some 20 in
the party (and I am the only one
with SpatS) Denver and his II
year-old son. Charley, reserve the
right to take a pot at the
GROWERS. The rest Of the lads
viii carry guns, but they will
only say "shoo," or "show a little
life, you bums," when the lions
allow their chasses to drag.
The beasts were turned loose
late yesterday to feast on herbs
and wild berries so they will be
down to fighting weight when
Wright steps forth and shouts to
the party:
"AII right, boys, let's co."

Seine court today to Maurice
Chevalier, smiling screen star, and
Yvonne Vallee, music hall dancer
and actress. whom he married in
the days before he knew interna-
tional acclaim.
Chevalier demanded the divorce
on grounds of extreme and un-
founded jealousy" Mile. Vallee
asked. hers on the allegation that
Maurice put her out Of his Hol-
lywood home.
The court ruled that since both
husband and wife demanded the
divorce the decree should be
handed mutually to both par

alienation action out of court to
avoid publicity.
Through Sumner, Stillman an
nounced that he would fight the
case to a finish, even though the
suit promises to rival the historic
divorce battle between Stillman
and the former Miss Urduhart,
who is now the wife of Fowler
McC Cormick, youthful heir to the
Chicago Harvester millions.
In fighting the case in court,
Stillman'S attorney disclosed
Rochefort's sensational allegations
that the banker made love to the
formers wife, lavished gifts OF
presents and money upon her, and
thereby completely aliensted her
from her husband"
Hint Conspiracy
In reply to the charges, Sumner
declared he had obtained affi-
davits from Mrs. Rochefort and
from her mother, Mrs. Emily M.
Baker, in which both were quoted
as swearing that Rochefort not
only encouraged the friendship
between his wife and Stillman,
but benefited financially by it,"
Mrs. Baker, incidentally, was
named as co-defendant with Still
man in Rochefort'S alienation
suit.
These affidavit's, Sumner told
Supreme Court Justice Edward
Riegelman, corroborate one made
by a woman named as Miss
AStrid Haug, IN whose apartment
in Long Island City Stillman was
said to have met Mrs. Rochefort.
Stillman's attorney disclosed
that the alienation action was in
stituted by Rochefort in October,
1892, after Mrs. Rochefort had
started and apparently dropped a
lawsuit of her own against Still
man.
Only a summons in Mrs. Roche
forts case was served and her at
torneyS, Sumner said, declined to
proceed further after he had con-
vinced them that the litigation
was unfounded.
Miss Haug'S affidavit, Sumner
said, confirmed the stories sworn
to by Mrs. Rochefort and her
mother. The action was brought
by Rochefort on a claim that he
was ibelled by Stillman when
the latter'S attorney read eX-
cerpts from Mrs Haug's affi:
davit to Rochefort's counsel, AL
fred L. Becker.
ExtOrtiOn Charged
To substantiate Stillman's de-
mails, Sumner asserted that Mrs.
Rochefort had not lived with her
husband for seven years prior to
the time she met the banker.
Stilman was told, Sumner said,
that she was widow. Stillman'S
counsel declared:
"ThiS action was brought to
extOrt from Mr.. Stillman a
large Su moi money in order
to compel him to settle the
alienation case"

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., Jan. 18
Q.N.S0.-While Ruth Brown,
widow of Bradway Brown, shot to
death two nights ago in Palmyra,
branded her husbands violent end
as murder, Investigations revealed
the first authentic motive for sui
cide-ill health.
The autopsy on the printing
company official revealed he suf.
fered from kidney trouble. Doc
tors said he probably would not
have lived more than five years.
His widow told the chief of
Burlington county detectives, Ellis
H. Parker, she thought he had
been well.
If Brow.l did not know his con-
dition, Parker admitted, the mur-
der theory is as plausible as that
of suicide.

TAX
UP To HOOVER

The new tax refund act, max
ing all tax refunds by the Treas
ury subject to approval by the
joint Congressional Committee on
Internal Revenue Taxation, went
to President Hoover today for
approval, following its passage in
the first deficiency appropriation
bill.
The new act, unless Mr.. Hoover
should veto it, will give the Con-
greSsional Committee power to
reject or reduce all refunds Or
dered by the Treasury. This
drastic curb was enacted as a
protest against secret refunds,
which have totalled $4,000, ,000,-
600 in the last II years.
Representative Collier CD Of
Mississippi is chairman Of the
joint committee. The other mem.
berS are Senators Smoot (R0 Of
Utah, Watson (RD of Indiana,
Harrison CD of Mississippi, and
King CD Of Utah.. and Repre-
sentatives Rainey CD of Illinois,
Hawley (R0 Of oregon, and
Treadway (RO of Massachusetts,.
There is one vacancy in the
Houses membership.

committees "chief of staff" Low
ell H. Parker, a tax expert, the
power to review each award by

PROBER QUITS

Torn by internal dissentions and

Committee cast about today for
a new counsel to direct its New

Irving Ben Cooper, of New
Yord, former aide in the senSa-
tional New York city investiga'
ton led by Judge Samuel Sea-
bury, Indignantly resigned his job
as counsel in the committees in
quiry after a verbal tiff with
Chairman Norbeck (R. of South
Dakota.
Cooper charged that Norbeck
attempted to set up espionage
over his activities by stationing a
personal agent in his headquarters
at the Senate office building.
Cooper said:
''The Senator told me the
agent would direct the inquiry
and determine what matters I
was to present and also what
evidence / was to withhold from
the committee"
Norbeck, in discussing the resig-
nation, asserted:
"The most liberal cOnStruc-

of power which Cooper de-
manded before he would assume

STRIPPING THE RED MAN

"Verily to him that hath, it shall be given; to him that hath not, it shall be taken away"
 Somebody has placed a Iteral interpretation upon this cypt-c Scriptural passage.
 Each year the territorial tax collector makes the rounds of the Bristol Bay canneries and along the Alaska Peninsula, where the canneries deduct $500 from every native employed, and which is sup posed to go into the school fund.
 Why is it that these wards of the government in many instances, and in others, are not beneficiaries of the territorial public school sys- Jem, thus mulcted?
 It is stated on good authority that these natives last season did not make enough money during not make enough money to carry them over to the trapping season.
