Bill 10 Curb Armed
Robberies in District
Drawn for Schultz
Seal Is Instructed to
Provide 5-Yeur Terms
For First Offense

Definite steps to curtail Washing
tons growing epidemic OF armed
holdups with drastic legislation
were taken today by Representative
Schultz, Democrat Of Indiana,
chairman of the Police and Fire
Subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict Committee.
Mr.. Schultz instructed Corpora
ton Counsel Elwood H. Seal, to
draw up a bill for him to intro
duce in the House, which would
increase the existing penalty for a
robbery In which a dangerous
weapon is used. and which, also,
would require the owner of every
gun in the District to register it
with the superintendent of police.
Recalls Personal Experience.
His memory still fresh of an event
in Washington several years ago
when two colored men poked re-
volvers in his face and emptied his
pockets of cash and a watch, Rep
resentative Schultz declared:
Something drastic has got to be
done to stop these holdups. I am
convinced the present law is too
lenient to frighten the average
bandit. I would put man behind
the bars for 20 years for an armed
robbery. But I'm told 1t would be
useless to try and do it, because
a jury would never approve of such
penalty.
But I have instructed Mr.. Seal
to draw up bill that will put a
man in Jail for five years at least,
If he even dares to flash gun in
another persons face for the pur-
pose of robbing him. And I told
Mr.. Seal to make the five year Jail
sentence mandatory for the first
ofense"
Sees Guns As Clues.
BY requiring that all persons hav-
Ing guns register them with the
superintendent of police, Mr.. Schultz
said 1t would enable the police to
keep a check on every weapon of
that type in Washington, and prob
ably lead to roundup of men who
have participated in crimes in the
past.
1t is Mr.. Schultes plan also to
require a mandatory Jail sentence
OF at least a year of all persons
who fail to register a gun. And,
as further step, he would require
all purchasers of guns, to state un-
der oath, for what purpose they in
tended to use the weapons, and re-
woke the license Of any dealer who
sold a gun without the knowledge
OF the police department.

SALEM, Greg, Feb. 21.-Spurred
by discovery of a child's bones on a
Texas ranch, authorities checked
anew today the bizarre story Of two
convicts that they had killed q
father and his two sons seven
years ago.
More than two years ago Claud
and Elmer, Tension, brothers serv-
ing 18 years each In Oregon Peni-
tentiary for bank robbery, told
prison authorities they had killed
j. M. Cone near Perryton, Tex, be-
cause he failed to pay 81 900 he had
promised them for Staying his two
sons, j. M. Cone, jr., 10, and Vernon
Cone, 6.
Authorities discounted the story
at that time. Sheriff J. S. Talley Of
Perryton wrote Oregon prison
officials that the Tensions "are only
trying to get moved from there
with the hope of getting a chance
to escape"
Saturday, however, the bones Of
child were found Is miles south
east of Perryton at about the place
where, the Tensions told author
tiles, the Cone children had been
buried. Discovery of the bones
caused Perryton officials to reopen
the investigation.
State Parole Board members
Gerald Mason and Cecil Edwards
questioned Claud. 40. and Elmer, AZ,
yesterday and said they repeated
their story Of the triple killings.
The brothers told the Parole
Board members that Cone agreed
to pay them $1,000 to kill his two
sons because he didn't want to be
encountered with them when he
ran off with another woman"
Mr.. Mason and Mr.. Edwards said
the convicts told them the father
paid them only $3.50, so Claud shot
him. They said each shot one child
and buried them 20 or 80 miles
southeast of Perryton.
Elmer told Mason and Edwards, II
tried to forget it and I couldn't. so
I told the story and feel better.
I'll have to go back to Texas to
face it sooner or later, so it might
as we'll be now"
Mr.. Edwards and Mr.. Mason said

Two Men Are Injured
In Fleeinq Police

Two colored men, injured last
night in leaping from a third-story
apartment house window to escape
from police, were being investigated
today. One received a broken leg
and the other a broken collar bone
In the Jump.
The two men fled when Precinct
Detective Fred Satterwhaite, sent to
investigate a disturbance in the
apartment in the 1900 block of

ONLY THE TRULY NEEDY

1t is difficult 10 understand pre-
eiseIy what is meant by WPA an
nouncement from Washington that
many viii be dropped from payroils
To make the congressional appropfi-
alton hold out until March /, 1888.
There were 3,136,00O persons On
WPA at last report.
The administration is not 10 be
criticized if it was because condi-
tons became more exigent and more
money was spent than was expected
would be needed. But when Admin
istrator Hopkins says only the
truly needy" will be kept on the
rolls, what does he mean? If there
are now on the rolls thousands who
are not really needy, why are they
there? Could there be anything IN
usual in the tact that the number
was at new high total just before
election. when employment in reg
ular channels was reported increas-
ing?
Or does It mean a new official de-
finition OF what constitutes being
needy? It's mystifying. -Minneap-

Wrangell Response IS Gratifying
In Seal Sale To Combat tuberculosis

workers of National reputation are
making a study of the situation. ru-
berculin tests are being given over
the Territory and follow-up work is
being undertaken. including x-ray
findings.
A plan for the complete eradiea-
ton of tuberculosis is being brought
to the attention of the nation. This
is of vital importance TO Alaskdns
because tuberculosis is the chief
cause of death in the Territory. "a
deaths having been reported for
1888 This program for the control
of tuberculosis was outlined at the
last annual meeting of the National
tuberculosis Association by the
committee appointed to prepare IT,
1t received the endorsement not only
of the national group but of Dr.
Thomas Parran Jr., Surgeon Cen
eral of the United States Public
Health Service
This suggested program to start
in 1899 will, if it receives the eff
feetive support OF Congress and
state legislatures, mean that tuber-
culosis will be practically unknown
to the next generation.
Cost Beyond States
The cost of such a thorough GO
ing plan will be large and beyond
the means of the individual states
and much of it will have to be borne
by the Federal Government. It is ex-
peeted that each state Legislature
will make appropriations as we'll as
Congress and that these funds will
be used in each area to meet the
particular need.
The time is ripe for ending tuber-
culosis, but success will not come if
only half way measures are adopted
1t will require the united effort of
public and private interest. The tu-
berculosis associations have present
ed the facts and demonstrated the
need. Their educational program has
meant a great saving of life. Christ
ms Seals have financed this but
now a practical plan based on these
years of experience is presented for
official action to end for all time
a disease which each year causes
great economic loss as well as hum
an misery.

GOV. MARTIN URGES REVISION
Law ELIMINATING FISH TRAPS

OLYMPIA. WASH, JANUARY II
Urging revision of Washington s
Initiative n which four years ago
abolished fish traps in this state.
Governor Clarence D. Martin in his
opening message TO the state legis=
lature here today said that the re-
strictiye provisions OF the initiative
are resulting in alarming loss to
the state without any offsetting
gains in conservation.
Governor Martin said: "once
again I warn you that all is not well
with our fisheries, which constitute
our third largest industry and source
Of income. and that, unless you take
definite steps to revise some of he
restrictive provisions. we shall con
tinue to lose ground in the unending
fight for rehabilitation and endan-
ger future OF the industry.
Our salmon are not only an in
dustrial resource. but also a great re-
creational asset. and this problem
concerns both the commercial fish
ermen and sportsmen.
Public Sentiment
1T is fortunate that we have in
this state a great public sentiment
in favor of salmon conservation.
which was shown by the widespread
approval of Initiative No. "a four
years ago. But it is unfortunate
that this measure, while beneficial
in intent. is Gripping the financial
program on which our fisheries con-
servation is based and by permitting
our neighbors, Oregon and British
Columbia. TO take a greatly in
creased share of the salmon at the
expense Of the State of Washington.
Alarming Loss
Figures on the Fraser River and
Columbia River fisheries show
alarming loss to the wealth and in
dustry of this state, without any off
setting gain in conservation.
In 1888. Washington packed
10000 cases of sockeye salmon,
valued at s1,340,O00. British Col
umbia packed $1,000 cases, valued
at $4,000.
In 1897, Washington packed Co.
600 cases of sockeye salmon, valued
at 100000 British Columbia pack
ed 100000 cases, valued at $780,
900.
'0n the Columbia River in 1888,
Washington took 100000 pounds
of Chinook salmon. Oregon took TO-
100000 pounds of Chinook salmon.
Heavy Loss Of Pinks
Furthermore. there is a heavy
loss of pink salmon in lower Puget
Sound waters, estimated at 1885,
600 salmon each odd year. This is
due to the fact that the initiative
deprived the director of discretion
airy control over these waters
4 suggest that your fisheries COM
mittees Immediately consult with the
director. commercial fishermen and
sportsmen in a determined effort to
work out a program satisfactory to
all-which naturally will be bene-
fetal to the state as a whole.
Recently our Fisheries Depart
ment proposed a program for the
preservation of the salmon runs at
the Grand Coulee Dam, which was
designed to save a six million dollar
industry ON the Columbia. I regret
to advise you that the United States
Bureau of Reclamation has not yet
accepted the program, nor establish
ed substitute, and the delay is
jeopardizing one cycle of the run.
This would be a permanent loss to
both commercial and recreational
fishing.
II mention this in the hope that
your fisheries committees will i'm
mediately take up this matter for
the protection of the state"
