Uev. K. H. MOLONY 18
GOING TO CALIFORNIA
At. St. Peter’s Vestr> meeting last
night on thee onclusion of the regu
lar business the Rev. E. H. Molony I
announced that he had written Bish
op Rowe asking to be relieved of the
charge of the church jvork in this
district.
Mr. Molony said that it was with
a good deal of regret, especially at
this time, when three other members
of the committee were going outside,
that he made this announcement, but
that he had been comtemplating this
step for some time. He further'states
that his chief regret in leaving se
ward is in parting with a committee
of such loyal and strong men us
marked its personnel, as on their co
operation he had largely based his
confidence in the pr.ogress of St.
Peter’s.
On- the other hand now' that Sew
ard is in “the limelight” he was con
fident that their would not be the
saute difficulty in securing clergymen
as had been experienced before. The
church in Anchorage was organized;
Valdez was holding Its own, and he
had no doubt the Bishop would be
able to send three men for the three
places when navigation opened
Mr. Molony and his family expect
to leave for California about. May 1.

N Y. DOCTOR
IS INDICTED
ACCUSED OF POISONING DECK
Physician Who Administered Di-sex e
Germs and Arsenic to His Million
aire Fatlier-in-LiHv Is Indicted for
Murder in the First Degree.
ifrEW YORK, April 1.—Dr. Waite,
tlio New York physician re'edentiy ar
rested accused with administering ar
senic s&d disease germs to his Fath
er-in-law, a New York millionaire,
causing the latter's death, has been
indicted for murder in the first de
gree.
The confession of Eugene Oliver
Cane, the undertaker who embalmed
the body of Peck, and who received
a check for $9,000 for testifying at
a coroner’s inquest that the arsenic
found in the body was placed in the
embalming fluid, has gone far to fas
ten the crime upon the accused, and
is believed by Detective Swann, who
worked up the case, that there is no
longer any doubt but that Dr. Waite
murdered his father and mother-iu
lji.w, and planned to do away with his
wife, in order to secure unmolested
control of the Peck millions.
The case is exciting world-wide in
terest and promises to ■ be the most
sensational in years, as all the parties
interested were in high society and
Dr, Waite had hitherto borne the best
of reputations. • ■
Undertaker Cane has testified that
the $9,000 check was in part payment
of a fee of $25,000 he was to receive
for his services if lie diverted suspi
cion from Dr. Waite.

MORE APPLICATIONS FOR

Two applications for license were
to have come up before the District
Court this afternoon before Judge
Brown, both for liquor licenses in the
town of McCarthy. The applicants
are Davis & Conley, and Gottschalk
& Cloninger, all of Cordova. The
Judge postponed the hearing until
further advices were received from
McCarthy regarding the situation
| there.
| As John Amber recently received
a license to conduct a saloon at Mc
Carthy, it is feared that with a popu
lation of but 150 three saloons would
bee too many for so small a place.

be broken in the interior, the mer

banks to 42 at Wortman’s. In many
places the trail is bare of snbw, and
Is quite soft the balance of the way.
At the rate the snow is melting, the
trail will soon be bare with, the ex
ception of the Summit, where ten
feet of snow is still on the ground.

WAGE ARBITRATION
BOARD MEETS MEN
The wage arbitration committee
which left for Anchorage to fix wages
on the government railroad this
morning has a snap compared to the
tasks handled by the average arbi
tration committee.
The laborers want an increase,
the merchants want the increase giv
en. the commission in charge at An
chorage reoomended an increase, in
fact everybody is in favor of the in
crease. There’s nothing for the com
mittee to do but raise the scale.
The chairman of the committee is
au unusual type of man. He plays
fast and loose in joshing newspaper
men, and in speaking of his fellow
committeemen and himself adopts a
braggadocio attitude. The other mem
bers of the committee are quiet men
who now and then ask pointed ques
tions. Nothing gets by them.
It will be interesting to read the
committee’s report on conditions in
Alaska. In the meantime the Post
lias confidence that there will be no
more wage scale trou ... .—Seward
