A FRIEND TO ALASKA
* Ex-Governor Wm. Sulzer of New
York, who is visiting in Seward to- ;
day on his way to the States, is an
old sourdough, having first come to
Alaska in 1886, in the Yukon, and (
later operating in the White River
valley and other camps.
A true friend to the Territory, Mr.
Sulzer, has many times visited the
President and appeared before the
congressional committees to help se
cure beneficial legislation for Alaska.
He was of great assistance to Col.
Jas. G. Steese in securing road ap
propriations, and has worked in
many ways in the advancement of
our interests.
Understanding Alaska and its needs
as few men do, Mr. Sulzer at all
times has been ready to lend a help
ing hand in remedial legslation, and
having the confidence of the Presi
dent and Congress can do much to
ward alleviating onorous conditions
prevailing.

“JAZZ” LIFE AND ASSOCIATES THAT
IT COMPELS, LEAD TO TRAGIC DEATH
OF YOUNG GIRL, BELIEF OF OFFICERS
SAN FRANCISCO, August 25—No
one is being held by the police today
in connection with the murder here
of Andrietta Hildebrand, 19, a tele
phone operator, after a party in her
apartments. Three men acquaintan
ces—William D. Luccas, who said he
was the girl’s fiance; Jack Dwyer, and
Frank Rossi—were questioned for sev
eral hours and were then permitted
to go.
Police detectives determined today
that Miss Hildebrand was killed by
a knife wound and that no pistol fig
ured in the murder, as was at first
reported. A wound in the temple,
believed at iirst to have been caused
by a pistol bullet, was found to have
been made by a knife.
Jack (Kid) Armstrong, held at the
city prison on a burglary charge was
questioned today regarding his friend
ship with the dead girl. The result of
this questioning was not made knowm
f
by the police.
The "jazz” life and the associates
| that it compels were held by the po
lice today to have been the back
ground for the murder. Three years
ago the girl, young 'and pretty, left
the comfortable home of her father,
D. Hildebrand, owner of an Oakland
planing mill, bcause she felt that she
was being held dowrn. Since that time
she had participated in so many jazz
parties that even some of her compan
ions on these affairs had advised her
to call a halt.
“I warned her,” said her father,
"but in vain.”
Six police detectives are working on
(he Hildebrand case, and all admit
that it is a deep mystery.
The girl lived alone in a little three
room apartment. She had not worked
for a month before her death and the
police are endeavoring to find out
how she supported herself.
Seward owes much to this distin
guished visitor, and will owe much
more if he lives to see his future
plans come to fruition. Alaskans are
forced to depend upon its Eastern
friends for assistance, and we know
of no one better qualified by a long
residence in the territory to help in
these plans than the Hon. Wm, Sul
zer.
It is with deep regret that we
learn of the accident at Anchorage
yesterday which may cripple for life
Gus Gelles, a popular traveling man,
Mr. Gelles by a long residence in Al
aska has many friends here, all of
whom hope the accident is not so se
rious as at first reported.
WE CAN CAN IN SEWARD!
Said a lady near Kanapolis, wbo
once lived in Kankakee, “All my can
ned corn has corroded, it’s as sour
as it can be. And I clamped each lid
down closely. It does seem strange
to me That I can’t can corn in Kan
sas like I could in Kankakee.”
