Joe Dexter of Golovin, Pioneer Merchant, Trader, Dies At Age of 76

The death of Joseph E. Dexter last week at his Golovin home at the age of 76, marked the passing of another pioneer merchant and trader whose career began during the gold rush days of the Seward Peninsula country.
 Joe, as he was known over the years, came to Nome in 1900 from Boston, Mass, to join his older brother, John Dexter, who had es- tablished trading post in 1892 at Chinik on Golovin Bay, now known as Golovin. It is for John Dexter that Nome's Dexter Creek was named in 1898.
 In the early years Joe tried his luck at mining and stampeded to the Fairbanks strike in 1905. He also put in a number of winters driving dogteams, carrying the mail along the Unalakleet- Nome route.
 Joe operated stores at Council, Dime Creek, White Mountain and Golovin over the years.
 He leaves two daughters, two sons, a number of grandchildren and several great-grandchildren to mourn his passing. The daugh- ters are Molly, of Golovin, and Mrs. Flora Peterson, Sitka. The sons are John Dexter, of Ketchi- kan, and Jimmie Dexter, of Nome.

New Species Taxicabs, AirbOrne Variety, at Nome

The, airlift to Nome took an in teresting slant when two enter prising taxicab owners took to the air with their new cabs.
 Charles Reader and Bob Can non of the Q Cab, made the flight to Seattle where they picked up two new Plymouth cabs, drove them to Fairbanks. At Fairbanks they were loaded aboard a Wien Airlines GAG cargo plane and flown to Nome and were put into immediate service over the 4th of July holiday.
 Loading the two cars in one cargo plane entailed some close fitting but it was accomplished by removal of lenders and bumpers.
 Thus the two new @ cabs be- come, as far as we know, the only airborne taxiS anywhere.

Crockinq Down on Loan Sharks

Chief Judge Woodward Of the Montgomery
County Court will have the blessing of many
small borrowers for his breakdown on lenders
who charge an .unconscionable" amount for
loans of $500 or less While Maryland limits the
interest rate to per cent month on unpaid
balances there have been indications that vari-
Gus subterfuges have been resorted to In some
cases to boost the take" The judge dismissed
one suit against borrower who, he said had
been charged sum that appeared to result
from compounding Of the interest He referred
the case to the grand jury, with instructions to
make broad investigation of small-loan prac-
tices In the county.
Nearby Maryland and Virginia have become
centers Of thriving small-loan businesses. Most
OF these companies undoubtedly are complying
with the spirit as well as the letter of the
Maryland or Virginia laws. A few sharks can
hurt the business as 4 whole, however. It was
these few whom Judge Woodward had In mind
when he told the grand jury: When people get
down on their luck and get In the clutches of
those whom consider nothing but bloodsuckers,
they have hard time ever escaping them. =
These unfortunate borrowers usually are desper-
ate for money to pay medical or other bills and
are therefore ripe for plucking They deserve
the fullest possible protection Of the law-and
Judge woodward has shown commendable de-
termination TO zee that they get It Ia his county.

MoryIund's Good Roads

The once-yaunted boast Of the State
OF Maryland that it was the State Of
good roads Is now with the limbo Of the
lost. refer particularly to the terrible
condition of some Of the roads in Hill
side, Md, stones throw from the Dis
trict line. One street is definitely q

Fifty-seventh avenue. At the intersec-
ton Of these two streets. particularly
dangerous condition exists with bumps
and gullies on steep grade. This writer
has seen cars backing out Of M street to
the main highway rather than chance
a damaged car. Practically all cars and
trucks turning into M street use the left
side of the road. Others, more cautious,
go two or three blocks out Of their way
to avoid this extremely dangerous con-
dition. That serious accident has not
occurred may be attributed to sheer luck.
The police were notified; the county en-
gineer was notified. Nothing was done.
In the past year. several streets were
never scraped once. M street for several
blocks Is a disgrace to Prince Georges
officials in charge Of road upkeep.
Hillside is now q thickly populated
community whose residents pay many
thousands yearly in gasoline taxes for
road maintenance. What this writer
would like to know is-where has all
that money been diverted? We do not
believe $100 was spent on roads in that
entire section during 1851.

Mistakes Were Made

While United States Attorney Irelan has
denied that two key grand jury witnesses were
permitted to confer prior to being questioned,
it is an unfortunate fact that cramped court
house facilities brought them within talking dis
tance of each other. They were close enough to
engage in an alteration There is no transcript
OF their conversation. But 1t would have been
better If there had been no opportunity for any
conversation at all between the pair In case
SO important as the grand jury investigation
OF alleged police corruption every possible pre-
caution should be taken to prevent witnesses
from getting together" on their stories.
The witnesses who, according to Mr. Irelan,
exchanged invectives" across 20-foot corridor
OF courthouse cell block were "Jim Yellow"
Roberts and his former wife, Evalina-both Serv-
ing sentences for drug violations. Mr. Irelan
denied testimony by Detective Sergeant Furr
quoting Mrs. Roberts as saying she and Rob-
erts were together in the cell block for nearly
an hour. Sergeant Furr'S statement caused
Senator Welker to charge that there had been
incredible mismanagement'' of the courthouse
inquiry, In view of the United States Attorneys
explanation, the charge is hardly fair one.
The prisoners, incidentally, were in the custody
OF deputy marshals not of the prosecutors staff.
However, the latest testimony at the Capt.
tol indicates, that there have been mistakes dur
unwise not only to bring Jim Yellow and his
eStranged wife to the detention, block at the
same time, but to permit police officers to be
present when Roberts was being questioned at
the District Attorneys Office about possible police
bribery. The convicted peddler told the Senate
subcommittee the presence of two police officers
deferred him from telling the truth. One of
the officers, Roberts said, was Sergeant Furr,
who the peddler later testified came to his home
with Lieutenant Carper, suspended head of the
Police Narcotics Squad. The officer denied this
And by coincidence, it was Sergeant Furr who
conducted the lie-detector tests of Mrs. Roberts
and the other grand jury witnesses.
But all of this is water over the dam. The
important thing now is to bring Roberts and
his partners in crime once more before the grand
jury and subject them to questioning regarding
their sworn testimony of large bribes paid for
police protection. The shocking charges made
at the hearings must be thoroughly investigated,
wherever they might lead. Obviously somebody
has committed perjury in this sordid case. The
truth must be established quickly in the interest
Of police integrity and efficiency.
