ALASKAN NATIVES
SEEK MORE CASH
Indian Schools Plead for In
creased Appropriation.
MEDICAL CARE REQUIRED
Chief or North Division Departs for
Washington to Work for Meas-
lire Urging Funds.
SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 3. (Spe
cial.) Congress will be asked this
year by the Alaska division of the
United States bureau of education for
an increased appropriation for Indian
education and medical care in Alaska.
The Alaska division is also asking a
larger appropriation for use In devel
oping the reindeer industry for the
natives.
V. T. Lopp. chief of the Alaska
division, left for Washington, r. C,
last night to assist in putting the ap
propriation through. He plans to re
turn to Seattle by Christmas.
In the past, Alaska Indian school
appropriations have been attached to
the sundry civil appropriations bill,
which is usually passed during the
closing days of the session. An at
tempt is being made to have the In
dian Item changed to one of the de
ficiency appropriation bills which will
come up early in the session.
Appropriations Are Insufficient.
Requisitions received at the Seattle
office from field workers in Alaska
for supplies during the past year have
had to be cut in half. The last ap
propriation was insufficient to meet
advancing costs, declared II- C. Sin
clair, supply agent for the division,
yesterday. The last appropriation for
education amounted to $275,000. This
year congress will be asked for $419,
000, of which $53,000 is desired for
the refitting of the former naval
training ship Boxer, which has been
given to the division for use as a
freighter and supply hip.
The division is supporting 80 schools
in the north at present. Dozens of
other schools are said to be required
in order to bring education to the
natives. A wide strip of territory be
tween the Yukon and Kuskokwim
rivers is entirely without schools.
Hundreds of native children are at
tached to scattered tribes there. Few
repairs were made on the existing
schools last year for want of money.
More Money deeded.
Supply Agent Sinclair pointed out
the fact yesterday that while an aver
age of $45 a head is appropriated by
congress for the education of Indian
ehildren residing in continental United
States, only $11 was available for the
Alaska children last year. Educa
tional work in Alaska costs more than
in the states, Sinclair pointed out.
Transportation costs is one of the
biggest items in connection with the
Alaska work. Last summer it cost
$6S to transport 11 cases of coal oil,
worth about $2S, from Seattle to
Goodnews Bay, near the mouth of the
Kuskokwim river. Three hundred dol
lars a ton was paid to have supplies
taken to the Buckland school oh
Kotzebue sound. The average freight
charge from Seattle to Alaska In
dian schools is between $30 and $35
a ton, Sinclair pointed out.
'. Medical Relief Required.
Medical relief for the natives is one
of the biggest undertakings of the
division. About $150,000 is said to be
necessary to properly accomplish the
task. Congress is to be asked for
$125,000. A big deficit was faced this
eummer when the division had $90,000
for medical relief. Hospitals are kept
up at five places in different parts of
the territory. Natives are cared for
at other hospitals under contract. An
urgent need is said to exist for addi
tional hospitals. The lied Cross gave
a great deal of aid to the division
last summer.
The division is asking for $13,000 to
continue its reindeer operations. The'
appropriation of $6400 received last
ytar proved insufficient.
E URGED
PORTLAND ONLY STATE IN
CITX WITH RESTRICTIONS.
Report Filed With Governor De
clares Need for Passage of Ore
gon Ruildiug Measure.
SALEM, Or., Dec. 3. (Special.)
The City oT Portland, with its build
ing codo and bureau of buildings, is
the only city within the state that is
protected against the erection of un
safe buildings as regards their struc
tural parts and sanitation, according
to a report of the Oregon State Board
f Architect examiners filed with
Governor Olcott today. The report
covers the period November 29, 1919
to November 30, 1920.
"This evil might be corrected in
the state at large by the passage of
a state building code, with its result
ant aaministrative officers, or pro
viding that buildings be erected from
plans and specifications prepared
only by registered architects or reg
istered engineers," said the report.
The present architect's law states
that any person or persons may pre
pare plans and specifications and
erect buildings therefrom, provided'
they do not use the title architect.
"This safeguards the building pub
lic to the extent that persons employ
ing registered architects, are assured
that such persons have certain knowl
edge and skill as provided by law,
but does not protect those, who, in
their ignorance, seek" to erect build
ings without the services of persons
qualified by law, with sometimes dis
astrous results."
.mere nas oeen some criticism of
the present architect law, according
to the report, for the reason that it
proniDits landscape architects and
naval architects from practicing un
der their respective titles within this
state, without qualifying as architects
unaer tne general title.

Victim Gives Job to Thief
After Conviction.

QEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 3. (Special.)
k3 Into the cold, sordid, unyielding
atmosphere of the King county su
perior court, the atmosphere of al
courts, blew a breath of human broth
erhood of Christian charity, which
stirred everyone present this after
noon to a momentary mood of un
selfish sympathy.
cmiora sunae, iy years old, was
pleading guilty to burglary, and Pre
siding Judge Ronald was wondering
whether court was justified in giving
the lad another chance, wonderin
wnat would become of him if the
court did. And then Judge Ronald
was informed that W. Wilkins, the
man from whom Sunde had stolen
$200 worth of tools, was not only
willing that young Sunde be released
from prison, but Wilkins went a step
turther he was ready to give Sijndc
a job.
And Sunde was released into the
custody of the man he had wronged
"This is refreshing," commented
Judge Ronald. "How can we expec
these boys who go wrong ever to re
form if society refuses to give them
a chance?
"Recently several boys whose sen
tences 1 suspended have reported to
ine that as soon as employers found
out that they had been in trouble
they were fired. One young man, who
had a splendid record fighting over
seas, lost three jobs in three weeks
because employers discovered he had
been in court. Many of our people
and some of them occupy pews at
church every Sunday are hardly
showing a Christian spirit."
Sunde will go to work under Wil
kins at the Western Tool Manufac
turing company. 2330 Commodore
way, whose factory Sunde entered by
prying open a shutter the night of
November 25.
Wilkins didn't come into court. He
sent word.
"He told me." Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Carmody explained to the
'court, "that he didn't think Sunde
was a thief at heart, wanted to give
him another chance, and was willing
to prove it . by tatting him there to
work."
Fred Zepp, 18, of Vancouver, Wash.,
charged jointly with Sunde, also
pleaded guilty to burglary in the sec
ond degree and was given his liberty
under suspended sentence.
Zepp's mother came up from Van
couver to take him back there.
Zepp told Judge Ronald that he be
came implicated in the burglary to
get money enough to go homl for
Thanksgiving.
"He's a good boy," Mrs. Zepp tola
the judge "He's been turning over
all his earnings to me; I have six
other young children to support."
She led him out of the court room
The boys told the court yiat a
"fence" with whose name they furn
ished the police, gave them $8 for
their 200 wo th of stolen tools. James
T. Silvain appeared as counsel for
Sunde and Zepp.

HIGHER AWARDS ASKED
COMMISSIONER ' AND LABOR
LEADER JOIN IN PLEA.
Employers and Representatives of
Workers Urged to Work for
Revision ol Lairs.
SEATTLE, "Wash.. Dec. 3. (Spe
cial.) Major E. S. Gill, member of
the state inustrial insurance com
mission, and William Short, president
of the Washington State Federation
of Labor, declaring that the scale of
compensation paid to injured work
men or their dependents under the
state industrial insurance act has
become utterly inadequate through
chancres in economic conditions since I
the law was passed nine years ago,
joined in urging sweeping changes!
in the act today when they addressed
a conference of employers and labor
representatives called to discuss re
vision of this and other laws dealing
with labor and industry.
About 40 representative men of la
bor and industry attended the con
ference. The conference is expected
to appoint a committee of employers
and labor representatives to study
the workmen's compensation act and
submit a draft of proposed amend
ments to the coming legislature.
The same committee may also be
authorized to draft amendments to
other labor and industrial laws.
Harley Hughes of Olympia, chair
man of the industrial insurance com
mission, who is presiding over the
conference, made the recommendation
that a strong committee be appointed
to revise the workmen's compensation
act, pointing out briefly how the pas
sage of time had made amendments
necessary.
Among other things he urged that
in the revision of the act the proposed
committee should consider the cry
ing need for supplement-ry legisla
tion to enable the commission to un
dertake the rehabilitation of disabled
workers whom he referred to as in
dustrial cripples, much as the fed
eral government is striving to re
habilitate crippled soldiers of the
great war.
The commission, be said, was al
ready attempting to do such humani
tarian work, and with some success,
but was handicapped by lack of legis
lative authority, appropriation of
money and employes to conduct the
work.
Addressing the conferees. Major
Gill declared emphatically that the
rates of compensation for injured
workers and their dependents must
be increased. The rates, he said, had
been established when the law was
passed in 1911 on the basis of the
then prevailing wage for common
labor. $2.25 a day. A basic rate of
compensation for, disability of $30 a
month had been fixed.
' At that time $30 a month or less
would buy the injured worker board
and lodging for a month, and was
adequate. Since then, he pointed out,
the cost of living had so increased
that $30 would not even buy food for
a month for the injured. The pension
of $30 a month for widows of work
ers killed, he said, also had become
inadequate for the same reason, and
the commission was flooded with ap
peals for advances of money to make
good the deficiencies.
Following Major Gill, Mr. Short
strongly indorsed all that Major Gill
had said and commended his state
ment of the need of revision.
"I regret to say it. but the truth
is that the industrial insurance for
the last four years has been a ghast
ly mockery of justice." declared Mr.
Short.
LANDIS ACCUSED OF BIAS
BERGER AND OTHER. CONVICT
ED SOCIALISTS ATTACK JUDGE.
Federal Jurist Who. Sat at Trial
Charged in Briefs of Being
Enemy of German Blood.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. An attack
on the eiiglDiuty on ieaerai juage
Kenesaw Mountain Iandis, who pre
sided at their trial, will form the ba
sis of the appeal to the supreme
court of Victor L. Berger and, four
other socialist party leaders, under
conviction of having violated the
espionage act. The briefs were filed
today in preparation for arguments,
which, on the government's motion,
have been advanced to the calendar
for next Monday.
Those convicted with Berger were
Adolph Germer, national secretary;
William F. Kruse, editor of the
Young Socialists' Magazine; Louis
Engdahl and Irwin St. John Tucker.
Sentences of 20 years' imprisonment
were imposed on each. x
The certificate from the court of
appeals sets forth the contention of
the appellants that Judge Landis was
in error in presiding after an affi
davit of prejudice had been filed
against him and a change of venue
had been refused. Judge Landis was
accused in the affidavit of holding '
personal bias and prejudice against
Berger, Kruse ana Germer, evi
denced, it was asserted, by remarks
attributed to Judge Landis prior to
the trial describing his personal dis
like of all Germans. Berger, Kruse
and Germer are of German or Au
trian extraction, the appeal stated.
The governments brief denies the
accuracy of the remarks attributed
to the judge, which were, made to a
prisoner after conviction on a charge
involving disloyalty, it is also as
serted that even if the contention of
the defense that the joint peace reso
lution of May, 1920. officially closing
the war, should be upheld, the con
victions must be confirmed, since that

TWO THIEVES SENTENCED
Transients Convicted at Albany Get
Three Months Each.
ALBANY, Or., Dec. 3. (Special.)
Judge Kelly sentenced Daniel C-t Al
len and Charles Barcng, transients,
to serve three months in the Linn
county pail after each had pleaded
guilty to a charge of larceny in the
state circuit court here today. Both
were arraigned on indictments re
turned by the grand jury -yesterday.
Allen admitted entering the resi
dence of H. D. Mitzner near Halsey
on November 14 and taking some
clothing. Because he had admitted
the crime from the first and other
circumstances the grand jury indicted
I him only on a simple larceny charge.
Bereng pleaded guilty to a larceny
charge based on the theft of an over
coat belonging to Dr. B. Ii. Wallace

NEGLECT IS HELD FELONY
Los Aligelcs District Attorney Will
Act If Sick Children Are Xot
Properly Attended.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 3. Pros
ecution of believers in non-medical
healing for manslaughter or neglect,
upon proof of failure to provide proper
medical attendance for children, was
promised in a letter from Thomas
Lee Woolwine. uistrict attorney for
Los Angeles county, to Pr. Rea Smith,
president of the Los Angeles County
Medical society, made public here to
night by Mr. Woolwine.
The letter asked the co-operation
of all members of the medical organ
ization in reporting to the district
attorney's office cases of alleged vio
lation of state laws covering the care
of children.
"It should be, distinctly understood,"
the letter stated, "that the commer
cial fifhaticism indulged in by so-
called Christian Science practitioners
or other persons indulging in such
practices, by whatever name they may
be called, could not be urged by any
parent as a'lawful excuse for failure
to furnish necessary medical attend
ance for his or her child in case of
serious illness." '
Society's Aid Invoked.
Mr. Woolwine's letter says in part:
"I wish to ask your aid and that
of members of your society in a work
of mercy and justice.
It is, of course, well known to
members of your profession that
parents suffering the fanaticisms and
delusions resulting from the teach
ings of what is known as Christian
Science or other , cults allow their in
nocent children to languish and die
of malignant and contagious diseases,
feloniously refusing and neglecting
to provide that medical aid and at
tendance required by the statutes of
the state of California.
"The number of suffering, trusting
and helpless infants who have been
robbed of life and allowed to die
under such -circumstances since this
peculiarly dangerous and inhuman
fanaticism has been promulgated has
undoubtedly reached appalling pro
portions in the United States.
Negligence Held Kelony.
The laws of this state make it a
felony for a parent to wilfully omit,
without lawful excuse, to furnish
necessary medical attendance for his
or her child.
"Further. I am satisfied that in case
death, "should result from such omis
sion, such parent would be guilty of
manslaughter.
"It is further provided in the stat
utes that in case of any death oc
curring without medical attendance.
such death shall be referred to the
coroner for his investigation and lor
the purpose of holding an inquest to
ascertain the cause of death.
"In this connection it has been
stated that it is unlawful for a phy
sician to sign a death certificate un
less he is in fact the actual attending
physician and not merely a signer
for accommodation.
"Laws and rules of human conduct
are in a large measure made and de
signed for the protection of the weak
and helpless, and there is nothing
more pitifully helpless than a sick
and suffering child. It is the duty
of the state to protect them to the
last degree."
