PIONEER WOMAN
 Us HON0RED BY JUNEAU GROUP RI
Mrs. John B. Marshall Host
 for Interesting AL fair This Week

On Thursday afternoon, April B,
 a small number of women were in- formally entertained at an im- Ipromptu afternoon at the home of Mrs. John B. Marshall, 509 Gold stein Apartments, in honor of Mrs. X William Tamaree, mother of at .Itorney William L. Paul of this city. Il The afternoon was spent in needle .Iwork and in recalling early day AL askan history Mrs. Tarmaree and Mrs. Anna Snow two of Alaska s best known women, seventy six years siof age, respectively, were the au- thorized speakers of the afternoon, ], Although everyone present had a hair raising or a provoking story to tell whenever she got a chance.
 Il Mrs Tamaree, with sparkling eyes
 and snowy white hair, stood tall and straight and with that kindly
 expression she has for everyone, l told in a clear, moduIated voice of { early American happenings in AL
 aska. She told briefly how in 1876
 the first school was opened in AL
 aska and she was one of it's first
 pupils. A shy little orphan girl, \ she had been cared for by foster parents. Her mother, a young na- { tive woman. and a little sister had died. and her father, James Kinnon a Scotchman, had remained in Vic toria. The school was opened by
 Dr. Jackson and Mrs. Mcfarland of
 the Presbyterian Board of Home
 Missions. The Rev. John c. Brady later Governor of Alaska, was the first director of the school Soon Miss Fannie Kellogg arrived from the states and took charge of the
 music department along with other teachers. Dr. s. Hall Young,
 young rnissionary arrived about this time.
 Learned Many Things
 l. ''They were all wonderful peo-
 ple,' said Mrs. Tamaree T loved them all. Such splendid, wonder
 fuf charactersi I studied hard, but
 I learned many things outside of books. I tried to absorb their very
 manner and boise and was careful
 not to forget what was told" And
 then, she said, best of all was their
 religion. Their unfailing faith in
 God. It gave me peace of mind and hope and great happiness"
 The next year after the school
 opened, the Rev. MT. Brady selected a site and began to plan church.
 He. called the Indians together and
 told them what he wanted to do
 and that he had to have money.

Maier Case Pleas

Two men on trial in United
States District Court for the
murder of q Southwest Washing
ton woman a year ago, cheated

ing guilty to less serious offenses
than those for which they were
indicted.
The pair, Alonzo Turner and
Elmer Fulk, were charged with
criminally attacking Mrs. Mary
Maier, SO, on a wodShed on June
6, 1886 and inflicting injuries that
resulted in her death three days

Yesterday Justice F. Dickin-
son Let's directed a verdict OF

O til e r
True Bills Found
BY Grand Jury

Alleged to have defrauded an
83.year-old woman of nearly $4,000
in connection with an alleged
"eyesight racket" three men were
indicted by the District Grand
Jury today on mail fraud charges.
Those named in the indictment
are Lawrence B. Holtkamp, who
is already searving a mail fraud
sentence in Lewisburg, Pa, for a
similar offense; Charles Weaver,
reputedly wealthy Hot Springs,
Ark, jeweler, and ]. Douglas Con
ner, for whom a nationwide
search is now in progress.
Virginia Woman Victim
Their alleged victim is Mrs.
Jesse w. Wood, of Danville, Va.
According to the indictment. Con-
ner, posing as an eye special
ist, went to Mrs. Wood, accom-
panied by Holtkamp and the pair
represented to her that they could
cure her eye trouble.
They persuaded her to submit
to an operation" after which
Conner is said to have displayed
a substance he claimed to have
removed from her eye and took
her check for $875 in payment.
Later they again examined her
and told her she needed further
treatment. Taking another check
for $1,000 as security for a valu-
able electric belt that purportedly
had magic curative powers, they
departed and were not seen again.
Held in Mail Fraud
The mail fraud charge came as
a result of the mailing of the last
check to Weaver in Hot Springs,
Ark, where it was cashed.
Twenty-three other indictments
were reported by the Grand Jury
today against the following per-
sons:

VETERAN LEAPS
TO DEATH

Leaving two notes-one to his
wife and one to the Park Police
Samuel P. Herold, AZ, wounded
war veteran, ended his life early
today by jumping off the Seawall
at Haines Point.
Herold, who lived at 918 Seventh
st. N. E., is survived by his widow
and four children. Mrs. Herold
said he had been in i'll health for
several years, and recently had
been treated at Walter Reed Hos
pital for wartime injuries.
Herold drove his car to the
point early this morning, parked
the machine, walked to the sea-
wall and remarked to some boys
there that he intended to drown
himself. Then he jumped into
the water, but finding it too shall
low, waded into deep water.
Joseph Harris, who witnessed
the leap, telephoned for help, re-
turned, jumped into the water
and pulled Herold to shore.
The rescue squad worked on
Herold for more than an hour
before he was pronounced dead.
A note addressed to Park Police,
read:

ment. They have been so good
to me. 1 want to thank them
for their kindness and I hope
they will forgive me. I love

DRIVE OPENS
ON LIQUOR TAX

With Congress in the midst OF
efforts to stop Federal tax eva
sions, Representative Paul Shafer
(R), Of Michigan, today planned
to introduce in the House a bill
seeking to prevent local liquor tax
evasionS.
The Michigan Republican, a
member of the House District
Committee, brought to light a sit
uation which local officials have
overlooked or have not been able
to cope with, which has resulted
in millions Of dollars worth of
liquor coming into the District an.
nually tax free.
Certain out-of-town liquor firms,
he said, circularize the "blue.
bloodS" Of Washington continually,
advertising liquors which they can
sell much below prices which local
dealers can meet. He added:
"These Out-Of-tOwn firms dis
tribute to the wealthy people of
the city catalogues more than an
inch thick advertising their
products, and the people have
been buying it.
"There is nothing in the Dis.
trict law which prohibits such a
practice and when this liquor Is
thus imported for personal con.
sumption no tax is paid to the
District on this liquor and the
importers pay no license fee.
Furthermore, these importers
pay no tax on the liquors to the
State from which the products
are shipped, because, at least, in
New York, when liquor is to be
shipped out of the State by a
wholesaler for personal con-
sumption in another State, New
York collects no tax.
by this means, these i'm
pOrters have been able to ma
terialIy underseIl the legitimate
dealers in the city who pay
not only their license fees but
also pay a tax of 50 cents a
gallon to the District govern
ment on this liquor.
81 have been informed that
one very wealthy person in
Washington bought $4,000
worth Of champagne for a
party from one of these i'm
pOrters and of course got the
liquor at a low rate and paid
the city nothing in taxes on

Threat Of kidnapping

lief that a mysterious telephone
call made several days ago threat
ening the kidnapping of seven.
year-old Joseph RoSin was a hoax.
The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Abe
Rosin, Of Sis Conduit Rd. N. W.,

THOMAS READY
TO YIELD ON
supply BILL
Usual WrangIing Over
u. S. Aid Likely to
Be Avoided

A "love-feaSt" presaging reduced
funds for the District during the
next fiscal year appeared likely
today, as Senate and House con-
fereeS prepared to meet on the
1888 District appropriation bill.
The usual long and bitter wrang-
ling over the bill, with the House
demanding drastic curtailments
and the Senate leaning toward a
more generous treatment, probably
will be dispensed with today be-
cause Of the uncertainty of the
amount of revenue to be raised by
the proposed tax program.
Thomas for Compromise
This situation appeared likely
in the light of a statement made
by Senator Elmer Thomas CD Of
Oklahoma. chairman of the Sem
ate District appropriations sub
committee, that he is willing to
yield to the House on some of the
items increased by the Senate. He
said:
81 want to do all can to re-
lieve the extra tax burden ON
the people of Washington"
The Senate added approximately
$1,500,00O to the House bill, bring.
ing the total as it stands now to
$46, SOC. 900, at the same time in.
creasing the deficit from 100000
to more than $7,500,000.
Because the tax bill is now in
dispute. Senator Thomas pointed
out, it is impossible to know how
much the measure will bring in.
He intimated that if the appropria-
ton bill Is kept at a minimum,
the tax bill can also be pared.
May Permit Loan
This may mean, it was pointed
out, that some change will be
voted in the increased real estate
tax, as proposed in the tax bill
passed by the House. The House
measure provides for a 20-cent in
crease in the tax on real property.
It was also intimated that the
uncertainty Of the tax measure
may mean that conferees will
authorize the District government
to obtain advances from the Fed
eral Treasury. A similar provision
was stricken from the bill.
