PHONOGRAPHS
• TO PLAY PART
NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Phonographs will be
used by both the Republican and
Democratic parties in the approach
ing presidential campaign, it is an
nounced, the plan embracing a pro
gram which will permit the residents
of small towns and remote hamlets
to hear the speeches of eminent
orators at the same time that the
records are released in the large
cities.
The phonographic campaign will be
opened on September 1, when records
containing utterances by Attorney
General Palmer, speaking for the
Democrats, and others registering
the speech of United States Senator
Lodge, voicing the sentiments of the
Republicans, will be released. These
speeches will be reproduced at clubs,
societies’ headcpiarters, churches,
noon-day meetings and in the homes
of the party workers.
Following the release of the
speeches of Attorney General Palmer
and Senator Lodge, other records
will be distributed monthly and it
is expected that the meeting places
and homes throughout the country
will fairly echo and re-echo with the
words of the orators as conveyed by
means of talking machines. The ex
tent of the part which phonographs
may play in the campaign can be esti
mated by the statement that two
manufacturers of the machines are
known to have more than 2,000,000
phonographs in use in the United
States.
Among the speakers scheduled for
phonographic oratory by the Demo
cratic national committee are Presi
dent Wilson, Secretary of War Baker,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, for
mer Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and William J. Bryan.
k Former President Taft, Major Gen
eral Wood, Elihu Root, Chauncey M.
Depew and United States Senators
A Johnson and Borah are on the list
of speakers chosen for talking-ma
chine oratory by the Republican Na
tional Committee.
The well-known “Westinghouse”
electric heaters are now for sale by
the Northwestern Hardware Co.
MURDER RESULTS FROM
NATIVE SUPERSTITION
As a result of witchcraft, a prac
tice still prevalent among the Indians
in Alaska, Peter Lawrence, an In
dian from Yakutat and Sitka, is in
St. Ann’s hospital, suffering from
self-inflicted wounds, and with a
charge against him of murdering
Billy James, another Yakutat Indian,
according to United States Commis
sioner E. M. Axelson, who took the
injured man to Juneau last week.
As told by Mr. Axelson, Billy
James’ wife had been ill for some
time and he consulted an Indian doc
tor by the name of Peterson, that
he might discover who had bewitched
his wife. Peterson named Peter
Lawrence, then at the fishing
grounds, as the person who had be
witched her and caused her sickness.
When Lawrence came in from the
fishing grounds, he was told that
Billy James was going after him, so
Lawrence stayed that night at the
winter village. Next day James came
up from the summer village, met
him, talked with him in a friendly
manner and started for the cannery.
Lawrence then got a gun, followed
James and killed him.
After his hearing before Judge
Axelson, he was confined in the court
house, and there managed to find an
old razor with which he cut his
throat in an attempt to commit sui
cide. He was brought to Juneau and
placed in the hospital under the care
of a physician.
