ALASKAN MURDES6
Dawson News: ".News of the mur-|
d»r of Louis Schonboro, Yukon
piony er, at Chisana, comes with a
shock to his maoiy iriends in Daw
sou, °ail it is to be hoped the mur
derer soon will be r>>u down and
made to pay the penalty. But with
the telegraphic report of the out
rage comtts a statement such as to
iouse every lover ol law and or
der. It is to the effect that the
deputy marshal had to telagrapu
lor permission to use funds to chase
tUe murderers. Such an egregious
s'ate of affairs in a progressive
civilized land in this day would
s^ern scarcely credible, yet it is a |
kaowc fact that such Js the caso |
throughout Alaska.
"It is preposterous that a govern-1
men: should have marshals or de- I
puty marshals and that it should
be necessary for them to hurry of» |
messages to some remote nabob at |
the seat of government for permis
sion io gather in anyone who may
take it iuto his head to take the
law iuto his own hands to the ex
tent of cold-bloodmurder. Com-1
yarisous may be called by some |
odious, but archaic sayings crumple
iu many a test, and right here it
will Cc no harm to make a compari
son with the condition found in Al
aska and in her neighboring terri
tory of Yukon. Comparisons, when
they show the ono country having
much better system or condition, are
highly advisable They should beso
a wholesome rivalry and the best re
suits, lu this Yukon Territory any
officer of the law not only has the
authority to go after a murderer or
any violator of the law, but is con
stantly supplied with ample means
or the credit to chase any outlaw in
definitely. Not only that, but omce
a murderer is cppxehended in this
territory he is given trial without
the vexations of long and technical
objections. Twelve of Yukon's thir
teen murderers have been hanged. A1
aska has had many times as many
murderers, and scarcely enough of
them have hanged to make a
showing on the score sheet. And it i
positive that some of the foulest
and most dastai dlr outrages ever
known have taken place in Alaska.
"People or tnis territory are nun
ested iu Alaska investments and
otherwise. The better laws and facil
ities for executioa provided there,
the more neople will be attracted to
that country. And more people go
ing there from the states will help
bring this country into prominence,
and all will prosper together. But
if Alaska is to become a land
enviable in tho eyes of all it will
have to receive such support and
Peking from the government as wil
make it possible to apprehend and
bring to justice without a moment's
delay every violator of the statutes.
"It is a well known faot that in
Alaska neither the marshal nor oth
er authorities have means to care
even for a wounded or destitute per
son. The hands of the authorities
are tied. Ia some Instances a
point has been stretched and those
requiring help have been "vagged"
or otherwise placed under criminal
charges in order, after authority Jha
been especially delegated, they
could be vhrown into jail for mere
refuge purposes.
"A movement !s on foot In Alas
ka to provide that territory with a
system of mounted police similar to
the Royal Northwest Mounted Po
lice of this territory. Whether
that territory or Uncle Sam wants
■uch remains to be seen, but it is
certain that the efficiency of the
mounted police of Tukon and the
Canadian Northwest is so far super
ior that there is no comparison
with the system now obtaining in Al
aska. The objection is made there
that it is a cost. All good ser
vice is a co6t. The American gov
ernment is probably as rich as the
Canadian, and if it wants the ser
vice <t can get it l>y paying for it.
Otherwise such outrages as thei
;nurder of Lcriis Schonborn will go
unfathomed. If those same murder
ere come down this side o£ the line
they- will be rua to earth by <he
mounted police as utidesidables, and
Uncle Sam may then extradite them.
It eeems it is up to the American
government to help provide some
means oj chasing some of its nuraer
ons murderers, such as last year and
this year infested the overland trail
between Fairbanks and coast points,
and the Kuskoswini, the Koyukuk
and other localities, and to do it
before the offenders have every
chaace of getting a thousand mile
head start. The open season for
man hunting lit Alaska should be
brough* to a close. It will pay."

Sowing Mm s in Oc°an Highways Violates
Rights of Neutrals
By JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN. President Cornell Unlversitu
HE and oceans are the open highways of trade, and on these
great pathways of commerce all nations have equal rights. No
belligerent nation can lawfully interfere with these rights bo long
as ships are not carrying contraband of war. Nevertheless the fact is
that some of ihe belligerent nations are setting barriers to neutral com
' • OER\f ANY
T
that some ot tlie ueuigereni iuuiuu* »ic
merce as if the highways were their own private property. GERMANY
AND ENGLAND ARE SOWING TIJE NORTH SEA WITH MINES
WHICH ARE ENDANGERING AND RENDERING IMPOSSIBLE
AMERICAN TRADE WITH NEUTRAL NATIONS WHOSE COASTS
ARE WASH I'D BY THAT SEA.
This is a violation of our rights and a detriment to our interests
which our government should no longer survey with silence. We should
no longer sit passive and acquiescent while the belligerent nations prac
tically annex and appropriate the oceans and the seas. What right have
the belligerent nations to obstruct our legitimate commerce with the
neutral nations of Europe? The ocean has been used for stretching
bonds of trade and commerce that have united all mankind.
