1 EMPLOYE
J. E. Riley, one of the beat known
mining operators of Interior Alaska,
who for several years past has op
erated dredges on Otter creek, in the
Iditarod district, was shot and in
stantly killed on Sunday, May 5, by
Mallo Cegaro, a Montenegrin wood
choppor, according to a dispatch from
Iditarod.
The crime took place in Riley’s
| boiler house. While the victim was
repairing the boiler, with his back
turned, Cegara fired three shots from
! a .38-ca!iber Colt pistol, which entered
Riley’s back.
! ■ The physician said that any one of
! the shots would have proved fatal.
The operator died without uttering a
word. The murderer threw the gun
j in the snow. He was arrested a short
distance from the boiler house by the
employes and escorted to Riley’s of
fice and placed under an armed guard
until the arrival of the deputy mar
shal from Plat City.
The coroner’s jury brought in a ver
dict of guilty, and Cegara was placed
in the jail at Flat City.
The controversy which resulted In
Riley’s death arose over some wood
cut by the prisoner and his two part
ners for Riley.
J. E. Riley, better known as
“George” Riley, was the senior mem
ber of the firm of Riley & Marston,
which firm was dissolved last fall,
Riley buying out his partners. He
had operated in the Fairbanks dis
trict, and was one of the first oper
ators in the Iditarod district. In 1913
he installed a dredge on Otter creek,
and later another one on one of that
stream’s tributaries. He acquired
large interests in the Tolstoi, which
proved to be of little value and which
resulted in much litigation.
At the time of his death Riley was
a member of the territorial road com
mission for the Fourth, division, and
was known as a most enterprising
and energetic operator, though of a
somewhat erratic disposition.

m SOCIALIST’S PLAN I
FOR HOUSING OF PEOPLE
—
NEW YORK, May 17.—For the pur
pose of alleviating the conditions
caused by a scarcity of small dwell
ings, the Socialist members of the
Saxon diet have introduced a motion
demanding that after the conclusion
of peace the construction of villas
and sumptuous homes be forbidden
until the demand for small dwellings
has been met. Apartments not fully
utilized would be taken over by the
state under this plan, say German
newspapers.

MEXICAN WHEAT]
TO THE ALLIES
EL PASO, Texas, May 17.—Mexico
may yet aid the allies without violat
ng her neutrality if a plan now under \
consideration is carried out. Charles |
N. Bassett, food administrator for this i
district, and Andres Garcia, Mexican i
consul general here, are working outj
a plan for the exchange of wheat and j
corn which will add thousands of I
bushels of wheat to the supply avail- j
able for the allies.
Mexicans care less for wheat flour
than they do for corn flour and other
food products made from corn. Corn ,
is the staple food of Mexico. Yet,
great tracts of fertile land in the La
guna district of Coahuila, near Tor
reon, have been planted to wheat be
cause the pink boll weevil has dc
stroyed the cotton crops which have
t grown on these lands in the past. As
; corn cannot be shipped abroad as eas
ily as can wheat, and is not consid
ered a staple war foodstuff, Adminis
trator Bassett’s plan is to exchange
corn grown in the United States for
wheat grown in Mexico. The plan
is now under consideration, and if
carried out will materially aid the
allies in the war.

VUfTHTAXICAB BANDITS
AMSTERDAM, May 16.—Berlin is
dealing drastically with the taxicab
bandit. A Berlin detective heard a
taxicab driver refuse an ordinary
journey unless he received a $5 tip.
The detective Jumped on the sea^ of
the cab to arrest the driver, who
threatened to run his machine into a
lamppost if the detective did not get
off. The latter thereupon drew his
revolver and overpowered the driver,
but not until they had come to grips
and both tumbled into the street. The
chauffeur was fined ?j|00.
