LOEB-LEOPOLD CASE
MAY CAUSE SIX TO
ESCAPE THE GALLOWS
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—The shadow of 1
Loeb and Leopold hangs over every
criminal court in the country.
No murder trial will be complete )
henceforth without^a reference to the
sentence of life imprisonment meted
out to Richard Loeb and Nathan Leo- ‘
pold, Jr., by Judge John H. Caverly. '
The decision seems to be the worst (
blow ever dealt to capital punishment
in this country.
Already in four large cities, one of
them Chicago, efforts are being made
to save youths from the gallows thru

ippeals based on the Caverly decision
ind opinion.
In Chicago public sentiment appears
,0 be back of a demand made for corn
nutation to life imprisonment of the
leath sentences of Bernard Grant, 19,
md Walter Krauser, 20. They were
■onvicted of the murder of Patrolman
-talph Sounders, following a robbery.:
?»oth boys are as youthful as Loeb !
ind Leopold, but they are penniless,
rheir parents are poor people.
In Pennsylvania petitions are being
:irculated in behalf of Louise Thomas,
9-year-old mulatto girl-, who was sen
enced to death in the electric chair
or slaying Harrison Saunders, a ne
p*o patrolman. Governor Pinchot has
signed the death warrant and the date
;et for the execution is October 20.
If her sentence is not alterated she
vill be the first woman to be executed
n Pennsylvania since 1889.
PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT
NEVER BEEN SCRATCHED
George A. Clothier, district engi
leer lor the Department of Mines,
,vhose dominion covers the North
western, or District No. .1, in which
s included the Portland Canal dis
;rict, reached Victoria, recently. Mr.
riothier is quoted in a Victoria news
paper as saying that a real mining
poom is under way in the northern
part of British Columbia; conditions
ire good and the outlook was never
petter for a season of active develop
nent, especially in the Portland can
il district. The Northwestern dis
rict comprises the Queen Charlotte
slands, Bella Coola, Skeena, Port
aud Canal, Stikine, Atlin and Laird,
riie district is roughly 100 miles in
ength, of which the northern part
ies behind, or east, of the Alaskan
panhandle.
This vast teritory, much of it un
pxplored, is scarcely yet “scratched”
py prospectors and miners, and in it
s situated the world-famous dividend
producer, the Premier mine.
Mr. Clothier draws attention to two
Irawbacks to the progress of the
nining industry.
“Exaggerated statements by pros
pectors, promoters and building op
praotrs are ultimately derogatory to 1
nining,” he says, “and exaggerated ,
prices for properties is about the
surest way of holding on to them. I
udge it better to sell live properties
it say $10,000 each than hold one
or $50,000.
“Prospectors,” Mr. Clothier contin
led, “this season, like last, are de
moted themselves to exploration work
m properties already staked rather
han going far afield and neglecting
ground they already hold.”

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over* rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further hr
formation write
