ONE CRIMINAL FROM
BRISTOL BAY PRESENT
YEAR; COPPERNOLL
CRIMINAL ELEMENT ENTIRELY
LACKING; CONDITIONS ARE
EXCELLENT
CORDOVA, Sept. 16. (JP)—District
Attorney W. D. Coppernoll, who has
just returned from the floating court
sesion along the Alaska peninsula
said the criminal element is entirely
lacking in Bristol bay “this year.
There were no murder, liquor, or nar
cotic cases but last year at this time
there were about 30 narcotic cases in
Bristol bay alone. Conditions in
Bristol bay cannot be better and the
companies had more employees this
year. This excellent condition shows
the result of the watch kept in the
coast cities to prevent the undesir
able criminal element from coming
\
north. Also the good health require
ment has had a noticeable effect.”
Over 20 prisoners came out Bristol
bay last year but this year but one
criminal prisoner and three insane

VALENTINO'S LAST
EXAMINER PUBLISHES STORY
PREPARED BY LATE MOVIE AC
TOR; MANY PURPORTED INTER
VIEWS WERE UNTRUE
DID NOT BEAT WIFE NATACHA
Was Tired Being Written About as
Professional Handsome Man; Had
No Regrets, Felt No Remorse
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16. (£>)—'
The Examiner printed an article last
night written by Rudolph Valentino, j
which was prepared by the star just j
two days before he left Hollywood for j
New York. He revised the copy in
the East, and then forwarded it to his
literary agents in Los Angeles, sug
gesting that it would probably be in
delicate to publish it just at the pre
sent time, but that he would discuss!;
the publication on his return to the
south. He died a few days later.
In the article Valentino says: “So
many interviews purporting to come j
from me have been printed that I]
it* 1
think it may be best to put myself on
record. I shall have to disappoint the1
reader who expects something sensa-:
tional. I did not beat my wife Nata
i
cha and she did not throw flatirons atj
me, nor did I object to her having a 1
career, nor demand that she bear
children. I. being a Latin, am not |
what you Americans call practical. No
Latin can be practical twenty-four J
hours a day. Your Latin may seek
friends who apparently do not amount
to much, and never will but they
bring into his life much that is divert
ing, a change of mental raiment.
When a man finds that he is being
managed by his wife in such a man
ner as to exclude such companions in
favor of others more useful and sub
stantial, the management of his wife
becomes irksome, he bull-headedly de
cides to be himself and do as he
pleases.
“I have no regrets, no remorse—I
enjoyed being married to Natacha and
I did my utmost to make her happy.
Perhaps this account of my second
wreck on the reefs of matrimony will
give the lie to the line which has been
tacked on to me—that I am a great
lover, both on and off the screen. Af
ter all, a man gets tired of being writ
ten about as though he were a pro
fessional handsome man.’1

which never happened but was related
to her to test sincerity of her asser
tions that she wanted to find her kid
nappers. I know the man, whose
voice she identified, and he had noth
ing to do with the case. My employ

wanted when they began negotiations
