WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Should an epidemic break out along the lo\vei
Cook Inlet or points on the Kenai peninsula, 01 vual
need for medical attention present itself in such cen
ters as Seldovia and Kenai they wouldbe at the meic> ot
fate, according to reports brought from Kenai. Kenai
has a population of more than 400 persons with an ap
proximate of 85 children. A considerable propouioa o
this population is native, or Indian. V, a.en tuc- Ip11"
tory built a school house at Kenai the Bureau of .educa
tion withdrew its activities in that _ vicinty. As a > e
sult some dilicult problems have arisen. Recently an
eight-year-old native child was discovered pi acticalu
abandoned by its mother. It had been without food 10a
two days. The deputy took it under his caie, led it,
bought it clothes and sent it to school.
The Bureau of Education found itself empowered
to recognize a voucher for the clothes, but the deputy
finds himself otherwise in possession of a bright little
native boy and compelled to foot the bill for his suste
nance. Efforts to have the child admitted to the Eklut
na Industrial school failed because it is not an orphan
age and cannot accept such cases.
With the close of navigation on Cook Inlet when
the M. S. Discoverer made its last trip this month, there
is little opportuniy for sending the child to the Jesse
Lee Home, here in Seward, or the orphanage at Bris
tol Bay. The condition accentuates the necessity for land
communication with Kenai, from Seward, the situation
now being that it is about 100 miles from the railroad
and practically isolated in winter.
December is nigh upon us and the grass in Arcade
Park is just as green as in mid-summer. Ain’t nature
and Seward’s climate grand!
KILLER SHOWS YELLOW
Visions of the “hot seat” brought out the yellow
streak in Chicago’s notorious murderer known as Wee
Willie Doody, the “baby face killer,” when the jury’s
verdict of guilty was pronounced a few days ago.
Doody was tried for the murder of Charles Levy,
chief of police of Berwyn, III, and had shown consider
able bravado before and during his trial.
But when the verdict was read and the judge sen
tenced him to death in the electric chair, the killer lost
his nerve and became an abject, cringing creature, whom
police officers had to hold up as he was led from the
court room.
A lot of alleged “bad men” are like that when put
to a real test of courage. The skulking gunman is almost
invariably a coward at heart.
More persons are engaged in the liquor business
today than during the days of the open licensed saloon,
says a Washington dispatch. The powers that be will
probably rebuke Alaska in some manner for this state
of affairs.
Who remembers when fellows had to go to a bur
lesque show to see what they wanted to see?
In several countries bachelors must pay a special
tax. Married men pay heavily, also, but it is called
something else.
One way to eliminate radio static is to throw away
the machine, states Jim McKlook, the expert from Ikgo.
We have seen no suggestion of a six-hour day or a
five-day week for housewives.
The rumor that Hoover and the industrial and lab
or leaders of the United States, who met the other day
with the view of stimulating business conditions and
the “peepul”, plan to appropriate 50 billion dollars for
the immediate development of Alaska, has not been con
firmed. Personally speaking, we think it is a lot of this
sccalled “phooie.”
Do your liquid Christmas shopping early.

USED TO OBTAIN CON
FESSION, STATED
SEATTLE, Nov., 23, (£>)—Sher- |
iffs and deputies began digging
in the Bothel cemetery, 15 miles
east of here, in search of the
body of James Eugene Bassett,
who has been missing since Sep
tember 3, 1928, after Prosecutor
Colvin announced he had ob- j
tained a confession from Decasto
Earl Mayer, in jail charged with
being a habitual criminal that '
he had slain the missing man. |
Colvin said he obtained the
confession through the use of
“Lie detector” injections or
“Truth serum,”
Henry Clay Agnew, attorney
for Mayer, obtained a temporary
court order restraining the pros
ecutor from further use of these I
methods in obtaining state- !
ments from the prisoner.
Mayer was arrested in Califor
nia after there was found in his
possession Bassett’s automobile j
and watch a few days after Bas- j
sett’s disappearance. He was ;
tried and convicted of larceny
of the automobile.
At first they dug in the ceme
tery where a slab belonging to '
the Ericsen plot had been dis- j
turbed. Hours of diggingfailed j
to reveal any trace of the body. !
“Let’s not kid each other,” Col- 1
vin claimed Mayer to have said,
“You know everybody else knows i
I killed Bassett.”
