WHITEWASH SEASON AT NOME;
I
The following extracts from a Nome
paper of May 7 conclusively prove that
woman, lovely woman, is carefully
shielded from embarrassment and
gently assisted over rough places in
the pathway of life by the male gal
lants of that most northerly of all
Alaska cities:
"United States Commissioner Hugh
O’Neill, in his capacity of coroner,
commenced yesterday an inquiry into
the causes leading to the death of Al
bert J. Peterson, Avhose demise oc
curred in the Maynard-Columbus hos
pital early Monday morning as a re
sult of injuries contracted March 2,
allegedly through his being struck on
the head by a piece of firewood he
was splitting. As the testimony taken
was of a character to suggest that
death may have been due to other
causes than a blow from a stick of
firewood, the hearing was carried over
until this afternoon at the request of
Attorney O. D. Cochran, who appeared
on behalf of one of the witnesses
whose relations with the decease have
cast an atmosphere of mystery over
the case.
“The bulk of the testimony tended
to show that death was induced by a
blow from some blunt instrument
which penetrated the brain cavity
near the corner of the left eye. This,
together with resultant complications,
was described by the two physicians
as the primary cause of death. A stove
poker was introduced in evidence by
District Attorney G. J. Lomen after j
one of the witnesses had stated that
a ’Mrs. Bessie Baker, who was appar- i
entlv an intimate friend of the de
ceased, had acknowledged that she
had struck Peterson with that instru
ment on the night he was injured,
when he attacked her in her home
during an altercation.
“The jury returned a verdict to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death as a result of falling on a blunt
instrument held in the hands of Mrs.
Baker.
“All is well that ends well.”
The moral to the above is that men
should be careful about where they
fall when women are standing ’round
with “blunt instruments” in their
hands. Also women should see that
blunt instruments in their hands point
downward when men who are liable
to fall are hovering near.—Juneau Em
pire.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
An exchange says that miners and !
prospectors are finding plenty to do j
this month. Come to think of it, all
of us might find plenty to do by at
tending to our own business at all
times of the year.—Valdez Miner.
The recent conviction of the beach
merchant who has been handling cider
with a kick in it will make local cider
bibbers who are also total abstainers
watch their steps. No one ever imag
ined that the innocent-tasting stuff con
tained such a wallop.—Douglas News.
No longer will the stranger arriving
at Nenana for the first time be per
mitted to roam the streets unattended
and unrecognized. Hereafter all vis
itors, especially Outsiders, are to be
met at the dock by a special commit
tee of the Commercial Club, escorted
about town, and supplied with all the
information desired by them.—Nenana
News.
There has been a theosophist in
town. We were too busy to attend,
but we studied one winter twenty
years ago a book called “Forgotten
Truth” on reincarnation, and the au
thor set forth that after great calami
ties such as the London plague, where
thousands of people passed from this
“vale of tears,” there was a vastly
increased number of twin and triple
births. We would like to know if it
is to be understood, granting the story
is true, that in the face of the mil
lions who have fallen in the recent
unpleasantness, will increase twin and
triple births? If the theory holds good
there will sure be some busy M. D.’s
and nurses in Europe for the next few
years.—Juneau Gleam.
The announcement that the Wom
en’s Club of Seward has already taken
steps to secure a Carnegie library in
Seward is welcome news. Leave it to
the women to start something of ad
vantage to the city. If Seward ob
tains the Carnegie library Seward will
be the first city in Alaska to have
one. The purpose is well worth the
effort.—Seward Gateway.
The inquiries being received from
the postal department regarding ex
isting mail service conditions and its
request for constructive criticism for
its betterment opens a field for a cam
paign for securing a more adequate
mail service for Interior Alaska
which should not be overlooked. The
ear of the department is attuned to
catch our comments, and now is the
time to make them. The department
wants to hear from business men
about how local interests are affected
by the present mail service. It de
sires to know if we are satisfied with
what we now have, if the service is
proving satisfactory, and if not, what
the defects are, and will entertain
suggestions as to its betterment.—
Fairbanks Citizen.

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
IS NOT DEAD ISSUE WITH
PERSISTENT JAPANESE
TOKIO, June 10 (by mail).—Rejec
tion of the Japanese claim for recog
nition of racial equality in the peace
conference apparently has not discour
aged those who are working in sup
port of the principle through the Ra
cial Indiscrimination League, which
was organized in Japan about six
months ago. The organization has
now been made permanent, and its
plan is to resubmit the proposal every
year at the sittings of the League of
Nations council.
The organization is now at Work
upon drafts of proposals which will
be submitted to the first sitting of
the council at Washington. An effort
is being made to secure support for
the next attempt from both the Chi
nese and the people of India by circu
lation of propaganda in those coun
tries.
LANCASHIRE SPINNERS
BECOMING ALARMED
LONDON, June 29 (by mail).—A
member of parliament asked the gov
ernment representatives the other day
what steps, if any, had been taken to
“prevent the exploitation of the Lan
cashire spinners by the cotton export
corporations now being formed in the
United States with the object of con
trolling the raw cotton exports tc
Great Britain.”
The parliamentary secretary to the
British Board of Trade replied that
corporations in the United States were
outside the jurisdiction of the Brit
ish government, but that the govern
rment was fully alive to the impor
tance of extending the cotton-growing
areas within the British empire. He
added that the cotton-growing com
mittee appointed in 1917 was making
a systematic survey of the cotton
growing possibilities within the em
pire.
JAPAN PREPARING TO
HOLD PACIFIC ISLANDS
TOKIO, June 10 (by mail).—In con
nection with the control of the Caro
line, Marshall and other South Pacific
islands intrusted to Japan by the
peace conference, the Japanese gov
ernment is contemplating the organ
ization of a special squadron of war
ships to be stationed in the South sea
region.
