HARDING HEARS ALASKA'S TROUBLES By GEORGE HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) ABOARD U. S. S. HENDERSON WITH PRESIDENT HARDING, WRANGEL, Alaska, July 9—(Via Naval Radio.)—Alaska is losing no time in pouring her troubles into President Harding's lap. They have grievances of long standing here and they are taking advantage of the first crack they have ever had at high government officials to unload them. But 24 hours inside Alaskan waters, President Harding already has been the recipient of a wide range of Alaskan problems of which transportation appears to be the chief. The discontent is not confined alone to the white populace seeking the development of the territory, but includes the natives. Within an hour after the President set foot on Alaskan soil at Metlakatla on Annette Island in the extreme south of the territory, Geo. Davis, headman of the Tsimshean tribe, pathetically laid before the President their troubles, saying the canneries were looting the waters of fish—virtually the sole food upon which his people have always lived. Davis talked in broken English, but most expressively. President Harding was touched by the appeal, but replied: "There can be no return to primitive conditions because that is against God's laws and the best interests of human society." He assured the Indians that the government will find a way to solve their difficulties and said, "That is why we came." Governor Bone joined the Henderson at Metlakatla, piloting President Harding thru the territory. Introducing the President to a Ketchikan audience, Governor Bone voiced the general discontent, saying: "Alaska is an unknown, unappreciated and misunderstood land." The statement was loudly cheered. Leaving Ketchikana late Sunday, the Henderson bore northward during the night, arriving off Wrangel this morning for a short stop. BOLSA CHICA NO. 3 COMES IN SATURDAY Bolsa Chica Petroleum Corporation's well No. 3 came in Saturday night as a result of exactly ninety days drilling without the slightest mishap. The new producer came in on the day that other large buyers of "crude" issued instructions that they will purchase no more for the present, owing to the extremely limited storage capacity. This has necessitated holding the production of No. 3 down to 1000 barrels flow per day, according to Hugh Grant, secretary of the corporation, which has now brought in its third valuable producer. This will prove one of the record wells of the Huntington Beach deep sand. Mr. Grant is arranging for the construction of large tanks on the Bolsa Chica acreage to take care of the oil surplus occasioned by the coming in of the No. 3, which will be kept down to 1000 barrels until storage shortage is relieved. The Standard is taking the full production of Nos. 1 and 2, it is reported. THIRD TRIAL AT SUICIDE SUCCESS (Continued from Page One) think she was brooding over the contents of the letters and had decided to take her life because of the supposed disgraceful conduct of her spouse. He arrived in time to interrupt her, it is thot, and when the attention of the neighbors were first called he was trying to wrest the gun from her. In the scuffle she is said to have made the remark that she intended injury to no one but herself, and police think this was confirmed by the suicide note found on her person afterwards. After shooting her husband and the gun had been taken away from her, she went into the kitchen, and got a large butcher knife, and told the onlookers that they would see her die anyway, according to evidence at the inquest. Friends of Mrs. Thompson say that she died without knowing that she had shot her husband, since it is said, the gun made no report. Thompson was taken to the Fullerton hospital, where he died and Mrs. Thompson to the county hospital, where she committed suicide. The 11-year-old foster PIONEER PASS With the Josephine K.

Stair Correspondent) LONDON, July 9—Premier Stanley Baldwin announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that it was possible the government would make known its reparations policy Thursday. The announcement foreshadowed the decision of the premier to bring the negotiations to a head and was interpreted as meaning England will go her own way in dealing with Germany. Such a conclusion is based upon the frank lack of hope in official circles that France will make concessions necessary to reconcile the French and English views. DENIES FINDING LIEUT. NULL'S BODY PORT STANLEY, Ont., July 9—"It's all bunk," Mrs. Jack Lemarsh, wife of the chief of police at Leamington, told the International News Service this afternoon when asked of the finding of the body of Lieut. Null. A message was sent from here stating the body had been recovered, which proved to be a mistake. C. SOAKFD BEDROOM ENDANGERS PAMILY (By International News Service) LOS ANGELES, July 9—The bedroff Fred A. Dato, brother-in-law of Estaban Cantu, former governor of Lower California, was saturated with gasoline and set afire today in an apparent attempt to burn him to death, according to the police. However, Dato was absent from the city and escaped injury. The lives of his wife and cousin Miss Carmelita Vasquez were saved when the blaze died out from lack of air. Loss from the fire was estimated at $10,000. Dato is said to have received several threatening letters from his political enemies, according to the police. After shooting her husband and the gun had been taken away from her, she went into the kitchen, and got a large butcher knife, and told the onlookers that they would see her die anyway, according to evidence at the inquest. Friends of Mrs. Thompson say that she died without knowing that she had shot her husband, since it is said, the gun made no report. Thompson was taken to the Fullerton hospital, where he died and Mr. Thompson to the county hospital, where she committed suicide. The 11-year-old foster daughter of the couple is being cared for by Fullerton friends. Hangs Self With Sheet The death of Mrs. Thompson occurred about 3:40 o'clock Sunday morning in her cell at the Orange-co-hospital, where she hanged herself with a sheet from one of the cross-bars of the window on the second floor. She made a first trial with a towel, tied it to a cross-bar and about her neck, then kicked the bed from under her. When found she was dead. The letters, turned over to Mr. Lyon, while not presented as evidence at the coroner's trial, were permitted to be perused by newspaper men, and are, in some instances, extremely compromising. The letters are from no less than five women, none of them from Fullerton, and show that Thompson was in the habit of making "dates" with them, and that Mrs. Thompson's alleged jealousy was not without cause. Woman Faints A flash of excitement was caused during the inquest when Mrs. J. W. Galener, wife of one of the witnesses, fainted and fell into the arms of J. E. Senle. The occasion of her faint is that to have been due to overhearing her husband's testimony that she was of a jealous nature like Mrs. Thompson. Galener was testifying that he knew Mrs. Thompson was quick-tempered and of a jealous nature, and Coroner Brown asked him how he knew it. He said: "My wife's the same way." Jurors were C. E. Johnson, Ted Roynton, L. Herman, George Stanley, E. C. Miller, A. J. Collins, Archie Arnold, and J. L. Haver. Funeral services for Mrs. Thompson have been announced for 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the Seale Funeral Parlors, with interment in Loma Vista cemetery, the Knights of Pythias having charge of the funeral, and Rev. Jackson called "the fighting parson," editor of a labor paper at Long Beach, officiating. The mother and father of Mr. Thompson were expected to arrive today from Oklahoma. The deceased enlisted in the U.S. army from Stillwater, Okla., when 21, and served almost three years, being honorably discharged. The coffin will be draped with an American flag, it is said. The sister of Mrs. Thompson is expected to arrive tomorrow from Miles City, Mont., to take charge of her person afterwards.

The wife brought a charge of desertion against Tipton. He was brot into police court. Declaring that she swore at him so much that he could not stand it, Tipton refused to go back to his wife. "Take your child, then!" she exclaimed angrily, pushing their five-year-old little girl in his direction. Tipton silently gathered up the little girl in his arms and strode from the court room. As he left the little girl looked back toward her mother and burst into tears. The mother remained firm in her resolution, however, and the father and child left.
