The Whitehorse Star of yesterday
says: I
"The suggestion of the Star that
a hard, strong and long pull for an
automobile road from interior Yukon
to salt water at Skagwav should be
made, was endorsed by the South- |
ern Yukou Conservative Associa
tion at its regular aonthly meeting
held Monday n'^ht of this week.
The meeting handled the Bubject in
an intelligent manner by memorial
izing the Yukon council which, meets
next week, to lend aid to the
project. It was the unanimous opin
ion .of tile largely attended meeting
that the proposed road is the great
est need of Yukon territory at the
preseut time.
"Now that the subject of an auto
road has passed the stage of "mere
newspaper talk.",, it i» believed the
governments to be appealed to will j
give it due consideration.
"Other needed legislation dis- j
cussed by the association at Mon- |
day night's meeting was that per
taining 'o the best methods of fos
tering the fox and other fur-bearing
interests of the territory. E. J.
Proulx of Carcross, and local men
interested in fur gowing were pres
ent and addressed the meeting on
the subject. A resolution bear- j
ing on the subject was adopted and
will be presented before the Yu- j
kon couucil by Captain Martin. Coun
cillor Phelps also has considerable |
data on the same subject which will j
be submitted to the council.

Cleveland, March 7—Tlie futility
of mechanical punishment as a rem
edy or prevention for crime is re
sponsible "or the establishment here
of a municipal criminal research bu
reau, the first of li3 kind in the
United Slates. ' Crime and crim
inals are being studied scientific
ally by a commission of seven ex
perts under the supervision of the
director of DUblic welfare.
A psychological clinic is in op
eration in connection with the crim
inal branch of the municipal court
system. The commission composed
of alienists, psychologists, physi
("ans and jurists has charge of the
clinic. Before jail sentences are
imposed on offenders, the prison
ers are taken before the clinic and
subjected to an examination.
The plan was initiated by Munici
pal Judges Manuel Levine and Geo.
P. Baer, whose long aiid daily ex
periences in courtrooms have led
them to conclude that present laws
deal only with the cffect of crime.
"Science deals with causes and ef
fects of crime," said Judge Levine.
"Hitherto law has ignored the caus
es. It has only been dealing with
effects. The law has stood still in
its attitude toward crime. Every
other pro'ession has advanced. The
physician has discovered that cer
tain hereditary influences, diseas
es and physical conditions influ
ence men to crime. Tv- psycholo
gist has analyzed tha mind of the
criminal and has .'earned lessons
which the law has ignored. The
alienists has told us crime and ab
normal mentality are closely asso
ciated. Hence our effort to rem
edy both the cause and effect."

NEWSPAPERS BRING* MANY
UNEXPECTED RESULTS
W. W. Shorthill, secretary to
Governor Strong, says that the not
ices placed in the newspaper about
missing people bring quick results
usually, and sometimes answers
from the remotest camps iu Alaska
where one wonders how a newspaper
could go*", there. Such notices are
almost certain to find anyone in
Alaska. Moreover, people seem to
consider it no trouble to inform
the governor's office when they
know anything concerning those
being inquired for.
Tho Humboldt was reported in
Juneau at 10 a. m. today. She will
reach Skagway sometime tonight.
The Peterson got in from Fort
W. H. Seward at 11:40 this morning

Mexico City, March 7—There's
no use of trying to do business in
a regular way, in irregular war
times. One young American, here,
who has an auto agency, got the
inspiration to sell automobiles to
tha men who bad newly grown
wealthy in the Huerta regime. The
new officials listened to him will
ingly and ordered lavishly. One of
his best cars went to the secretary
of a leading general upon order,
and, two days later, he went to the
man's office for the $15,000(Mex
ican money ) check.
"Oh, that auto was not for me"
said the Mexican. "1 sent it up
north to Captain So and So., who
is fighting Villa. You must go to
him for your money". Though the
young American sees the auto every
day in the boulevards, with the
Mexican official ridinT in it he does
n't dare to say anything in protest
and he knows that a court action
would be worse than useless for it
would only get him into trouble with
the administration. He's one of the
few Americans here who want inter
vention.
