COAL BUNKERS NEEDED
There are some ancient platitudes that in spite of
worn and threadbare use are none the less true. One of
them is, “Hope springs eternal in the human breast.”
Seward is sustained, in this respect, that it is not
an unreasonable hope that coal bunkers will be one of
the next of local improvements; this, guagded by the lar
gest shipments of coal ever to have passed through the
port, during the past month, to ports up and dowrn the
Alaska coast.
It is almost safe to say at least 50 carloads of Jones
ville coal have arrived in the local railroad yards within
the last 30 days; and every one of them has been loaded
aboard outbound vessels, by the slow process of the so
called “clam-shell” crane of the Alaska Railroad. Alas
ka coal must reach the consumer in as good a condition
as imported coal; there is absolutely no question about
quality for goverment analysts reports compare equal
if not better in the majority of tests. It is simply a mat
te of educating Alaskans to buy products produced in
their own country instead of adhering to the old gold
rush days policy of purchasing every thing from the
Outside. That money is gone forever.
And in order to attain this business which means
more men at Work in this industry, more money remain
ing in Alaska, and increased tonnage over the Alaska
Railroad, buukers, or some other speedy and easy hand
ling method of coal into ships, should be made here.
The njoment such provision is made will mark the
real birth of an infant Alaskan industry which has
struggled for years under handicapps which would have
disheartened any but the strongest of men. It is a ques
tion of putting the cart behind the horse and not the
cart ahead of the same old horse.
The idea of the Alaska delegate entering bills at a
special session of congress is deserving of a hearty
horse-laugh. Publicity is all he craves for he knows as
well as the next person there isn’t a tinker’s chance of
slipping anything thru at a time like this.

IN LOVE AFFAIR
HUSBAND OF DOROTHY PEACOX
ADMITS HE STRUCK WIFE
OVER THE HEAD
WHITE PLAINS, N. J„ May 6,OP)
—Gene Bussey, student at John
Hopkins university who told of a
love alfair with Mrs. Dorothy Pea
cox, is in jail as a material witness
in the torch slaying. She and
Bussey are said to have induldged
in petting parties. The husband
found letters and threatened to
beat the life out of her. The New
York American published a letter
from the mother-in-law giving the
woman’s reasons for leaving her
husband.
“It didn’t take long to realize he
had made a mistake but kept living
together to keep up the pretense
but life was really a hell on earth.
They weren’t really man and wife
but a couple of fighting kids.”
Police said Peacox talked himself
out of a plea of self defense, con
tained in the original confession n
which he said he choked his wife
who had pointed a gun at him.
Later, he admitted he hit her over
the head as soon as they entered
thir old home at Mount Vernon.

_i_. I
BOSTON, May 6, (/P)—'The five
straight, winning streak of the
Braves came to an abrupt end here
when the Tribesmen yielded a 7 to
2 victory to Pittsburgh. It was the
first National League Sunday game
held in this city and a crowd of
35.000 persons attended.
Three double plays and a triple
play helped the visitors out of some
of their difficulties; the triple
came in the fourth after Mueller
singled and took third on Maran
ville’s single; Spohrer grounded to
Grimes. Mueller was run down,
Spohrer was caught trying to reach
second and Maranville was nailed
trying to score on the continuous j
play.
