COLONEl SHESE REPLIES
TO WIDE IS ON THE JOB
In reply to Mayor L. V. Ray’s tele
gram yesterday to Col. J. G. Steese in
which Mr. Ray asked his assistance
in obtaining consent for introduction
of a bill whereby the Territory appro
priates $12,500 for relief of Seward un
der the terms of the congressional
resolution. Colonel Steese wired back
that he “is on the job.”
The telegrams, as dispatched by
Mayor Ray. were published in their en
tirety in yesterday’s issue. From lo
cal opinions expressed, since the re
ceipt of Colonel Steese’s wire, much
satisfaction is felt that possibly as
sistance from this source may be ob
tained.

LAUNDRY
INSANE RELIGIOUS
FANATIC IS RIDDLED
WITH BULLETS, S. F,
DEFIED DEVIL WITH COLT RE
VOLVER AT REVIVAL MEET
ING
SAN FRANCISCO, April 27. (/P)—
Two deputy sheriffs were shot, one
fatally wounded, in a gun fight with a
demented religious fanatic giving the
name of Big Chief Indian Joe . The
fanatic was riddled with bullets and
is believed to be mortally wounded.
The fanatic was holding a religious
revival when he became violently in
sane, defying the devil with a colt
automatic pistol. The two deputies
were shot in an attempt to disarm
him, after trying to use diplomacy in
capturing him. They found it neces
scary to use their weapons.
DON’T MISS THE SHOW
For keen enjoyment this evening’s
program at the Liberty theatre is re
commended. In “Wild Horse Mesa,”
sn epic of frontier days, a story just
a little different from the ordinary is
unfolded with a gorgeous scenic view
and marvelous pictures of flashing
hoofs. Thousands of horses on the
desolate mesas, a most unusual sight,
is seen
And the feature is preceded by a
comedy which is a “rip-snorter.” The
entire program is one of the best of
the current month.
L. V. Ray, attorney and Mayor of
Seward, departs for Anchorage to
morrow where it is expected a re
ceivership case will be completed.
I
ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS TO
PARTICIPATE ON OCTOBER
SESSIONS
WASHINGTON, April 27. (Jp)—
Radio officers of the Army and Navy
and other Government agencies will
participate in the Radiotelegraph Con
-ference which will be held in Wash
ington next October, according to i
tentative plans announced orally at
the Department of the Navy.
It is planned to have both the Di
rector of Naval Communications and i
the Chief of the Radio Division of
the Bureau of Engineering attend
the conference, which will be the
first to be held since 1912.
Capt. Ridley M'cLean, director of
Naval Communications, announced
orally that the Department of the
Navy had obtained a copy of the
Book of Proposals, a compilation of
all suggestions of the various Gov- j
ernments and companies interested
in the conference. It is, he said, in
the nature of an agenda, several
copies of which have been received
at the Department of State.
The Department of State is spon
soring the Conference next autumn,
and it is expected an active part
may be taken by the newly created
Federal Radio Commission. It was
at first planned to hold it this spring,
but the time required for distribution
v
of the Book of Proposals to distant
countries and the delegations to
reach Washington caused its post
ponement until next October.
