A TRAGIC END
It Is a sad word which comee over the wire from Haines of the shoot
ing to death of one man by another. But that is never th<e end of these—
too numerous—events. The murderer is placed itf prison; there to lan
guish until tried, with posaiblv a longer term of prison, death or release.
Then, there is the wife, the one, who has been the cause of the killing.
Whetlier guilty or not the court will determine, considered so at least by
her husband, she lives, with the stain forever on her soul and life. The
lesson to those, who willingly break up homes is obvious, though how many
will take it is not certain. The whole affair is not simply a matter be
tween the three parties involved, it is a community affair. Men and women,
who violate the laws of the land, and the higher laws of God, are Involving
the whole community in their sin. Some one takes justice in his or her
hands and a tragedy results, but the whole community suffers.
Hl'XOEft STRIKE
As a weapon for the enlistment of sympathy, the hunger strike appears
as little to Americans as any weapon ever used. For one who has food
placed before him to deliberately refuse to eat and through refusal expect
the sympathy and interference of others is about the limit of poor judg
ment. There is very little heroism In such a death or wisdom in such a
course. Allowing one or two to die will soon stop this method of seeking
notoriety or sympathy.
tax-exempt bonus
The position of tax-exempt bonds again becomes Interesting in view of
the movement for a constitutional amendment to prohibit the further issu
ance of tax-exempt securities. Recent Washington despatches have fore
told a recommendation by the Adinislstration to the coming session of Con
gress of such an amendment. The arguments in Its favor are well known
It is contended private enterprise is handicapped in obtaining capital
by the favor accorded municipal loans, that in many cases capital is sup
plied at low rate to municipal enterprises which are in direct competition
with privately owned fully taxed corporations, and that such competition
is unfair. Proponents of the amendment also believe that the ability to
borrow money at lower rates than business corporations tends to lead mu
nicipalities into extravagances which will later result in increased tax bur
dens.
There are powerful counter-arguments. One might paraphrase a fa
mous phrase and say that the way to reduce it, by economy and reduced
tajt rates rather than by Indirect means. The opponent of munit^pal own
ership usually feels that his case is strong enough without the necessity of
trying to curb the municipal project through indirectly created higher In
terest burdens. Municipalities may well feet that concern on the part of
the Federal government over their extravagance is an unwarranted assump
tion of virtue on the part of the larger unit. In the 48 state legislatures
whose approval of such a proposed amendment must be sought the most
potent argument against It will doubtless be the fact that the amendment
would tend to increase the revenues of the Federal government at the ex
pense of the states and cities. Ratification by 36 legislatures would be re
quired to incorporate the amendment in our constitution and it may prove
very difficult to seeure the assent of-so many.
Naturally the tinal enactment of such an amendment would havo a
very favorable effect upon the prices of outstanding municipals, and con
servative Investors will watch the progress of the amendment with great
Interest. The amount of municipals outstanding is now so large, however
—about $15,000,000,000 and sure to grow rapidly while the amendment
is pending—that the effect could hardly be immediate. Only as the num
ber of tax-exempt municipals diminished through maturities following the
ratification of the amendment would the market probably rise appreciably.
I ltimately, of course, the remaining fragment of tax-exempt municipals
might command fantastically high prices.—Juneau Empire.
TRAtilC DEATH
OF ROBERT FERRY
Haines. Alaska, Nov. 15.— (Spec
ial t«>the Alaskan).—Last night be
tween eight and nine o'clock at the
residence of L. M. Jones, R. H. +"eT
ry. for many years a resident of
Haines, and owner of the-- Rlalto
Movie house, was shot and Instau'ly
killed by a man named Bryson. Bry
son gave himself up to the Deputy
Marshal and is In jail. He had come
up on the Estebeth seeking his wife
whom it seems, had left him.
The inquest over the body of Scar
ry will be held at six o'ciock this
evening.
Later reports from Haln&4 gives
more of the story of the killing of
Bob Ferry last night.
It seema, according to Bryson, that
lie left Mrs. Bryson at Haines with
considerable money, when 'ae went
into Mayo. While gone tbeie, she
was going about wltj Ferry When
Bryson came out to SkagWAy on
Oct 15, she was in Skagway, hid
«r
| In* at the Dewey notel, and pent
wcrci by special mesvmger tnat she
hsd taken the Jefferso 1 for Juneau,
which left just about that t'mfc. and
he need not look for her any more.
Br>son wired to tis partn?i, wlm
wa« cn the boat to i-jofc up the mat
to1- in Juneau, and he himself pro
ceeded on Oct. 17 on the Estebeth.
He had warned Ferry to keep away
from his wife.
Tuesday of this week h? came up
on the boat and that evenia>; round
them at the Jones' home, where he
gained entrance, su the st»ry goe->
through a bedroom window and lis
tened for some time behind the por
tiere. between t'.e two rooms to their
conversation, after *hich ne drew
them apart, upon wmcn his wife see
ing Bryson scroemea. Ferry got up
but before he could turn around.
Bryson with his automatic shot thru
his breast then firoa another shot
and Ferry s'uggered to the kitchen
and' fell on his hands and knees,
when another shot was fired killing
him instantly.
Ernie Bryson was for years a
stage driver on the White Pass and
is well kuown thruout the Yukon. Af
tor the White Pobb abandoned the
stage servece, Bryson wont to Mayo.
He was an overseas mans, having

10TH COMMANDMENT
BADLY SHATTERED
That portion of the Tenth Com-1
mauduieuet which Bays "Thou shalt
t-ot covet thy neighbor's wife was i
wholly disregarded oy E. W. Har
riugtou, formerly of the Royal Can
adian Mounted Police but more re
cently a prospector in the Mayo
country.
Sometime In September Harring
ton left Mayo for Dawson, taking
with him the wife of a neighbor, the
understanding being that the woman
was to remain in Dawson until Join
ed by her husband a few days later.
But when the husband reached the
Yukon metropolis It was to leurn
that Harrington had continued on
down the mighty Yukon and that he
had been accompanied by the wo
man.
Believing that the couple were
bound for the outside by the way of
Fairbanks, the injured husband
came up th; river and on to Juneau,
arriving here about the 10th or 12th
of October. He told his story to a
number of persons including District
Attorney A. G. Shoup. The latter
made inquiry by wire and learned
that the couple had been In Fair
banks, but were en route to the
coast on their way to the outside.
Later word came that they were pas
sengers on the Northwestern due to
pass through Juneau Seattle-bound
last Saturday. A warrant was Issued
for Harrington's arrest which was
effected when the steamer arlrved
about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Harrington was taken to jail and
the woman continued on south on
the Northwestern, the Injured hus
band leaving for the south on the
Princess Mary Sunday morning.
Monday forenoon Harrington was
arraigned before Judge T. M. Reed,
when he pleaded guilty to adultery,
the charge under which he had been
arrested, white slavery, being with
drawn and the other substituted. He
is now serving a 30 days' sentence
In the Federal Jial.
CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYERS
ARE BEING LET OCT
Washington. Nov. II.—The num
ber of civil service employees on
the Government rolls (exclusive of
Army, Navy, Murine Corps, and leg
islative employees) is now 559.663,
the smallest number since the Unit
ed States entered the war. At the
time of the armistice. November 11.
1915, the number was 917,760. The
number of separations in the last
four years has been 358.097.
The civil-service employees In
"Washington number 6S.71S. Separa
tions in Washington, the chief cen
ter for Federal employees, are pro
ceeding at the rate of 400 u month.
At the beginning of the war there
were 40.000 employees in Washing
ton. Because of war activities the
number jumped to 117,760. The re
! ductiou has been slow, and the fig
ure never will be so low as it was In
1916. because of the new activities
of the Government as a result of the
war. The chief additions have been
in the Treasury Department and In
the Veterans' Bureau. There will
be further reduction in the forces
of the War department, the Navy de
partment. the United States Ship
ping Board, the Railroad Adminis
tration. and the Alien Property Cus
todian's office. It is thought that
60,000 clerks will be the level fln
| ally to be reached In Washington
I and 475,000 for the Nation.
