United States District Attorney Wil
liam M. Spence from Seward on a 1.
200 mile trip by boat to Unga. near
the western tip of the Aleutian is
lands. lie went to see whether Simon
Verskin. the Indian, should be brought
to Valdez for trial, with the necessary
witness, at large expense to the gov
ernment. Verskin claims he shot in
self defence.
Administration of justice in western
Alaska comes high, because of the
great distance involved in transport
ing witnesses and prisoners. Recent
ly a government teacher was convict
ed at Seward for an alleged statutory
cffense at Attn island, where his
school was situated. Pees and travel
ing expenses ran to $15,000, all told.
The coast guard cutter Tahoma was
wrecked while en route for additional
witnesses, and several of her crew
were drowned. The boat carrying the
prisoner to the revenue cutter upset
and the prisoner's leg was broken.
The total cost of the trial was said
to exceed $75,000. besides loss of life.
The prisoner received a jail sentence
of several months.

BUENOS, AIRES, April 17. — With L
the carnival season now making itsl|(
annual entry, there are no outward j
signs of anything but prosperity In the ^
capital of the Argentine. So far as ^
society is concerned, it is exulting
over the favorable prospects for the
opera season which, the newspapers
say, will make Buenos Aires the cen
ter of the operatic world this year,
circles regarding economic conditions,
owever, is rather pessimistic.
The fact is. the price of grain, which
luges the prosperity of the provinces,
as fallen precisely when a substan
al Increase in price was anticipated,
he markets of (treat. Britain and her
lies are practically the only ones
lien to Argentine produce, and hav
ig organised a collosal "corner,"
reat Britain has become the grainery
id store house of the group. She
lys for all, carries for all, and pays
>r all. By thus doing away with com
■tition between themselves, the al
es are in a position to dictate prices
ither than have prices dictated to
i cm.
