The Opinion seemed to prevail taat
the order for the removal of the Laud
Office iwas likely to be a firs, step
toward the removal of all Interior
Department agencies to the vicinity
of the Alaska Railway
It iwas such a conception of the
situation Which caused the Alaska
Bar Association to ■wire the Secre
tary of the Interior asking that such
action should not (be taken, and
pointing out that there Is more busi
ness in the Land Office from the
Vicinity of Juneau than Tram all other
s/actlons of the Territory. A reply to
this telegram from the Secretary or
the Interior said that the order fo
the removal at the Land Office and
the Field Division headquarters had
already been signed, and saying, "the |
other offices have not been deter
mined upon.”

QooAwin, Hcn-ruZ
When his parents separated when he was a child Fred Carter was taken into the Kent (Con
necticut) home of Rev. and Mrs. \V. M. Goodwin. The Goodwins had, long before that time, adopt
ed Jennie Barker, now a 32-year-old school teacher. The Goodwins died a few years ago, and Carter
continued to live with Mi: Barker, who wielded a strange influence over him, in the Goodwin home.
A few weeks ago Carter, now 19, disappeared . Bloodstains were found near his home, and later a
shotgun was found in the Housatonic River. A few days ago Carter’s chum, Henry Gregory, shown
above in a tkilT. found his body In the river. lie had been shot to death, but although shotmarks
were found on his shirt none wav found on his outer clothing. Although some were inclined to the
suicide theory no motive could be found, nor could the absence of shotmarks on his out£r clothing be
explained. Carter is shown here, with his graduating class, in the Kent High School.
