ney, Harry C. Nickum today made
plans for the funeral of his wife,
Mrs. Henrietta Nickum, who &C.
cording to physicians and the po-

claring himself responsible for his
appearance at an inquest.

could be planned. The jury will
be recalled when a chemical
analysis of the woman's stomach
is completed.
Findings of the autopsy per-

sufficient to warrant any charge,
said Judge Keane.
Mrs. Nickum fell to the floor of
her room here Tuesday in faint,
reviving sufficiently later to ask
a telephone operator to call doc
tor.
She was carried to the hospital
where she died a few hours later,

declaration that she had been
poisoned, hospital internes report
ed to police.
Her husband was then arrested
without charge, and held until
after the autopsy, which did not

THE SERIOUS ASPECT.

An increasingly serious responsibility has been assumed by these members of the Alaska Mine Workers Union whose sudden action Wednesday night resulted in eliminating approximately 915 workers from the payrolls of the Alaska Juneau Mine, and stepping a local payroll averaging around s5,400 day, which supported their families and dependents
 It is presumed that the Union has accumulated funds with which to take of the families of members whose savings are small Nevertheless these alotments which Union can give out are usually well under the prevailing wage scales and barely sufficient to meet food demands, and what ever financial reserves family may have accumu- lated rapidly reduced
 When the considerable sum of more than five thousand dollars which has been going to nine hundred workers and their families every day is suddenly cut off most serious economic condition is created, particularly applicable to Juneau where natural isolation and lack of other industries pre- vent the immediate obtaining of new jobs.
 Those who promulgated this drastic action most probably have the situation in hand and will take of their idle
 They have maintained orderness in commend able fashion to date indicating similar effective planning in other phases of the situation
 However, each days loss of wage cannot be regained as far as the workers and the people Of Juneau are concerned
 Heavy, and serious indeed is the responsibility of those who have precipitated without first ex- haustng every other means of settlement their fellow workers and this community into an economic condition which grows dangerous with each days idleness.
 quick settlement is the only expedient that the people of this community from even tual want and suffering, and the economic struc- tre from irreparabe damage

The Gangdom Lure Has Faded.
CKansas City Times.9

Any young people who may he inclined to careers of lawlessness would find less encouragement from survey of the American field today than at any previous time within their memories, if not those of much older people It would be profitable to make the survey. It could be done with scant labor and in brief order.
 The glamour and the reasonable assurance of success that once might have seemed lure to crime longer to be diseerned with the most careful scrutiny Events of the last year two have dspelled the prospects with most telling certainty. Practically without exception, the big shot boys have gone down in complete shame dis patched summa-iy at the hands of the law, con- victed and thrown into prison for extended or life terms, or executed without appreciable delay.
 The execution of Raymond Hamilton and Joe Palmer at Huntsville, Tex is but of a series of events all impressive in the lessons they should offer the would-be beginners not to mention those already the road Of gangdom. The of these two were brief covering only few years Despite the seriousness of their crimes the two small fry when compared with the large number of others who have been disposed of in the varied effective ways Yet they about the best of the lot that had been left. It will be much easier to down and to be finally rid of the scattered remnants of gangdom
 Sporadic and individual crime there will be, per- haps for an endless period. But professional, or ganized and commerciaized crime much of it ap- parently if not actually begun deliberately, has been dealt a. powerful blow.

tainng to the Territory the Washington and Alaska authorities have worked together the Territory often taking the lead with the Federal authorities lend ing assistance especially financially but in educa- tional matters there has been marked line of demarcation, with two separate agencies working from divergent angles. The result as pr. w Carson Ryan, Jr, Director of Research for the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs has aptly said is duplication snd waste. Here to make a survey of the situation, Dr. Ryan in these words hit at the heart of the problem:
 I believe type of coordination of the
 needs and resources of the Federal and
 Territorial governments is both advisable and
 possible for educational social welfare and
 health work among the natives in order to
 prevent duplication and waste.
 In these days of accepted efficiency and CO., operation of all agencies toward a common goal it is only logical that the two educational systems now in vogue in Alaska be blended at least to the point of full cooperation, While the Indian Bureau has carried it's work faithfully through the years the educational system of the Territory has been advanced until it is par with any in the States. It is plain that duplication and waste as Dr. Ryan says is inevitable long the two systems operate entirely separate they do both for the same objective. Correlating of the two will not only give strength and greater facilities but it will eliminate duplication of effort and money and tend toward raising further the stands of education in both the white and native schools.

BLENDING EDUCATION SYSTEMS.

While Alaska continues it's progress materially, it is equally important if not more so that the physical well being of it's people and their cultural advantages be advanced intelligent plane and it is with this in mind that Federal and Territorial authorities making a survey to determine how best to establish coordination between the two governmental agencies.
 Through the years the education and social well fare of the native has been entirely matter of Federal control In virtually everything else per-
