Seattle Is Firm
In Demand For
Alaska Airmail
SEATTLE. May 1st (via mail)
Seattle is determined to have
daily airmail and passenger ser
vice to Alaskan cities in the im
medito future, it was announced
here today by Toni Drununey, of
Washingtonians, Inc., the non
profit civic ori.a.'L'.ation sponsor
ing .! u '•.•wlnpmoi.: and increas
ed p . 1 . *
Another .b. p forward toward
the great development yesterday,
was the announcement t: al an
impo rt a i 'iv t m: co r - n of the
Northwest v.irld homed1 ucly es
tablish an Ala ban service for the
period of nm month, for tl r fur
ther dei vnstration of the r ise &
necessity of air intcr-co-. ■ e with
the North. It will supplement
the Ada. ka-Seattle flight to be
made by a stock airplane, equipp
ed with an automobile engine,
flown by a nationally known pi
lot. to leave Merrill Field at An
chorage, sometime between May
15th and June 15th, according to
Dnimmey.
Anchorage, through Ihoiras
Bevers. of the Anchorage Bo s'.cr
Club, will bear the expenses of
i the flight from the Anchorage end
In the meantime, postal author
ities. reinforced with exhaustive
data gathered by local post office
officials, are pressing Congress
for ation on Alaskan airmail ser
vice.
“Seattle wants an Alaskan Clip
j per Service. Now 4 days away
from the North by ship, we
should be only 24 hours away by
plane. Washingtonians, Inc . holds
that if the airplane can span the
Pacific in giant strides and non
stop flights, despite the hazards
of distance and weather, it is rea
sonable to suppose that daily
flights to Alaska, when properly
organized, will be comparatively
simple,” observes Mr. Drummey.

Acuities encountered by federal

adequate space and eqiupment
Mr. Watson, who deals directly
with relief problems and funds
for the divisions had this to say
about the manner in which those
matters are administered in Nome
for the Second Division:
"I was greatly surprised to see
under what difficulties Judge J.
II. S Morison and his staff oper_
ated and managed the many try
ing problems which come before
him pertaining to the dispensa
ti n of relief. We. in the Gover
nor's office are expressly gratified
t i ho manner in which these af
f. :rs have been conducted by
id go Morison, and also other
b i •:•;.! ' tid territorial matters of
b one s pertaining to our office.
1 am sure that I will do all in my
p .ver to convince tire federal au
lliorities that this new building
should be constructed in Nome as
issible, for the condi.
‘inns which have had to be put
. • w'th are a serious menace to
f :'iTe u !; of the federal offices

token Mr Kelly to a point, Sun
day. about a mile below Fort
Davis where he intended doing
some beach mining. He saw him
again Monday when he made a
t; ip there.
It developed that Mr. Hoop who
is also beach mining only a few
bundl' d feet away had talked to
Mr. Kelly at about G P. M.. Tue -
cl iv evening, and that was the
last time he saw him alive*. The
body was discovered about 4:30
P.M. yesterday by the native buy
[enroute hack to Nome in his boat.
The U S. Marshal's office im
mH . tel;, con menced an investi_

any evidence will ti might point
to foul play.
Last night's meeting of the cor
oner's jury was rece.-sed until 4

fore them.
Dr. C'hartcris immediately com
menced an autopsy of the body

Reports declared that a suicide
note was discovered last night at
Barney Kelly's tent located about
a mile below Fort Davis, saying
that the deceased man was gett
ing old, and had no money, and
therefore did not care to become
a pauper and be dependent up
on others to live. What the true
contents of the note are, will pro
bably come out at the inquest.
LATER—At the inquest held
late this afternoon a note which
was found on the table in his 1erT*
