Conklin, Suicide, Found
 This Morning

The body of George H. Conk- lin, about sixty years of age, was found this morning above the Star Motors Garage on Front Street, by Howard Sly, mech anic.
 The body was reclined on the bed with a shotgun lying be- tween the mans legs. A large hole and gunpowder marks di- rectly below the chin, in the neck, showed where the charge had hit him.
 Coroner c. C. Tanner was im- mediately notified and he called a jury together. The Coroner's jury after investigating, brought in verdict of sef-infiicted death due to gun shot wound.
 Letters and other evidence in- dicated that Conklin had planned to commit suicide. He mentioned in one of his letter he had a will in Anchorage, and that he was disappointed in mining failures and was going out, with the least trouble possible.
 He formerly lived in Nome for some years and was a paper hanger by trade Some years ago he moved to Anchorage and had been living there even since, up to this spring, when he came to Nome on the first boat. It ap- peared that he had shot himself to death about two days ago.

ANOTHER Stewards FOLLY"

Archie Shiels to whom Juneau is "home in the
north as truly as South Bellingham is his States
residence is still poking back into the sources OF
Alaska history with curiosity which has already
resulted in the writing of books the north and
which promises to add great deal more to our
knowledge of the early days of Alaska.
Mr. Shiels left Juneau yesterday after visit all
too brief.
Alaska he has found in his researches was not
the only region which Secretary Seward looked
with Territorial CLEAN in his eye Acquisition of this
Territory be only the first step expansion
program which would have added to the prosperity
and security of the United States in the western
hemisphere.
Reading back into Senate speeches of the 1905
Mr.. Shiels finds that Secretary Seward had begun
negotiations for the purchase of the Danish West
Indies. negotiations which roundy condemned
by Congressman of that day. Seward trying to
buy the Danish West Indies for naval base attempt
ing to negotiate treaty based purchase price
of $5,000000. sNn
He got far enough along" Mr. Shiels writes in
a ,~,per he has prepared on the subject that the
Danish Government stated they would be willing to
discuss the matter basis of $7,500O00 Be that
as it may they not purchased at that time but
in 1917 did purchase them, as a naval base for
s25,OO0Oo0 So perhaps after all, Seward was more
foresighted than Washburn CHS most bitter Sena-
torial critic seems to have thought"

Virgin Islands and of a national defense i'm
