TAKES PRISONER
OVER 375 MILES
NOME, Feb. 22.—Fifteen months
after the theft near Unalaklik of the
contents of a mail pouch, Roy A.
Buck, former mail carrier, was
brought here over the winter trail a
distance of 376 miles, from the inter
ior by United States Marshal Emmett
R. Jordan, of the Nome district. Buck,
according to the marshal, has confes
sed and will be arraigned at the April
term of court.
The mail theft there was committed
in November, 1915. A pouch into
which had been placed three packets
of fox skins contained pieces of wood
and grass wh^n it arrived at Tacoma,
its destination. The postoffice de
partment was notified of the substi
tution of the worthless material for
the valuable pelts and it ordered the
federal authorities here to make an
investigation.
Marshal Jordan a few months later
learned that furs, resembling those
stolen, had been sold by Thomas Uli- j
guk an Eskimo, to a store at St. Mich- j
ael. After a long search, Uliguk was j
located at Unalaklik and arrested last
January. He said that he received
the pelts from Buck and that he had !
been given the sale proceeds for dis- I
posing of them.
Marshal Jordan ascertained that
Buck was trapping in the interior 275
miles from Unaliklik, which is 100
miles from Nome. The officer with a
dog team followed Buck’s trail and fi
nally overtook him.
Buck at the time of the theft was
a mail carrier between Unalaklik and
Kaltag, and Marshal Jordan says the
furs were taken from the pouch at
Mile 22 Cabin near Unalaklik. This is
the only theft of mail matter ever re
ported on this end of the winter mail
route.
PREDICTS THAT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—That the
entire United States will be voted dry
by the end of 1917 was the prediction
here of the Anti-Saloon League of
America. The claim is based on the
following:
Pending dry legislation will be pas
sed at the present session of congress
as a result of the “undisputed” public
growth of public sentiment in favor of
it, and the 139 new house of represen
tatives members will swell the ranks
of the 1917 members of the house who
favored the Hobson national prohibi
tion bill.”
Many of them, it is pointed out,
have been elected from states which
have recently “gone dry” or have de
clared their intention of so doing.
Virginia, Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska,
and Michigan have adopted prohibi
tion laws since the vote was taken in
congress on the Hobson constitutional
amendment bill.
“It is reasonable to assume the
movement will have all of the congres
sional votes of these states—a gain of
15.”

OF A NET BEING
SET FOR SPIES
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—Scores of se
cret service operators are here from
Washington to assist the local depart
ment in trailing aliens whose activi
ties for the Central powers virtually
places them in the class of spies. Chi
cago probably will be made the head
quarters of the United States govern
ment operations of this kind.
Spies By Hundreds.
United States secret service men
have been getting valuable data in the
last two years in their efforts to pre
serve neutrality and to keep track of
the activities of the agents of the two
belligerent sides in Europe. When the
war broke out and hundreds of spies
of both sides tried to get to the front,
but were told to stay in America,
where they have continued their oper
ations.
In the United States the William J.
Burns detective agency is represent
ing the entente allies in keeping watch
on the' spies of Germany and her al
lies. Guy Biddinger, a former Chica
go detective, is representing the Ger
man allies in this respect. Both tell
tales of their men’s experiencees in
trailing spies of the other side.
Names On List.
The United States has in its pos
session names of hundreds of Ger
mans who are classed as dangerous to
the nation’s welfare. A close watch
will be kept of them. Included in this
list are former officers of the German
and Austrian armies; reservists who
attempted to rejoin their commands at
the outbreak of the European war and
orators who have attacked President
Wilson on all occasions and who have
upheld the stand of the kaiser’s gov
ernment regardless of the interests of
the United States.

BOSTON, Feb. 23.—The American
Woolen company has withdrawn all of
its lines of goods for next fall deliv
ery, the selling season for which has
been under way for several weeks.
The action comes rather unexpectedly
and at a time when the manufacturing
clothiers are understood to have con
tracted for only from 80 to 85 per
cent of their full requirements.
The decision of the American Wool
en Co. is construed primarily as, a
preparedness move to clear the decks
for a probable wave of clothing orders
from the government in the event of
hostilities with Germany. There is
small doubt that if an army is re
cruited heavy orders will have to be
handled by the big woolen concern as
with the exception of a Pennsylvania
mill, it alone is able to turn out cer
tain classes of cloth for military wear.
To equip an army of 1,000,000 men
would necessitate the production of
some 15,000,000 yards of overcoat
ings, shirtings, suits and blankets and !
would take all the capacity of the
woolen company for the next four;
months.
Coming at a tirpe when the Ameri
can Woolen Co. has rising of $40,000,-;
000 of unfilled orders, it is obviously I
the part of wisdom to go slow on fur- j
j ther commercial bookings. A declar
' ation of war would act like a bellows
j upon a manufacturing condition al
| ready blown to nearly its limit.
War, or no war, the price of goods
is likely to rise. The withdrawal of
its lines by the American Woolen Co.
is always a very effective price stiff
ener and in any event the rising price
of wool due to its shortage would ne
cessitate advances. Imports of wool
have dropped off acutely from South
America and there is no knowing
when supplies will be available from
the Australian clip which Great Brit
ain has taken over in its entirety at a
cost of nearly $150,000,000.
