The Killing of japanese Fishermen.


Washington, d. O., Aug. ga re.
port of the killing OF five japanese fish
emen and the capture of twelve Japan
csc prisoners on Attu Island, the prison
ers having been taken by the revenue
cutter McCulloch, commanded by Cap
tain j. @. Cantwel, has been made to
the Department of Commerce aud Labor
today by Edwin w. Sims, solicitor for
the department, who is 10 Alaska 20
enforce the new law prohibiting all per-
sons not citizens of the UEited States
from fishing in Alaskan waters. The
japanese killed we're shot by Americans
on Attu Island before the McCulloch
arrived
Lawrence .. Murray, acting Secre-
tary OF Commerce and Labor, promptly
turned the cable dispatch over to Robert
Bacon, acting Secretary of State. Mr..
Bacon will Immediately communicate
the information he has received to
the japanese Ambassador. There
is no to reason expect information
al complications as result OF the
Incident, but there is no question that
the situation in the AieutIan Islands,
especially as it affacts the japanese, is a
delicate one, and that numerous diff
culties are almost certain TO be enc0unt-
cred in enforcing the laws protecting
American citizens and their rights. De-
spatches from Dutch Harbor say that
the raiders were discovered by native
lOokouts of the North American Com
mercial Company, which lenses the seal
privileges of the government. Word
was telephoned to the nearest patrol
station toward which the raiders were
heading, and special agent Lemboke
reached the spot rs the japanese cane
in shore.
He ordered the boat crew to surrender,
which they did. Then from the top of
a cliff second schooner was seen close
in shore, DER deck covered with seals.
When called on to surrender, they tried
to make of with their booty in small
boats. The agent then ordered his ma
tive guard to FIRE. Three of The japanese
Tell dead, fourth was seen to be thrown
overheard, and fifth body drifted 10
later. The japanese had killed more
than 200 seals, most of them cows.
Those Who escaped carried off l20 skins.
The raid is believed to have been con-
certed effort by the Japanese, who have
been hanging around the Islands for
months, and giving the revenue cutter
trouble.
The TOkwa Maru, schooner, was
overloaded by the cutter Perry on July
s. She was crowded with japanese, but
no sealskins were found aboard.
Besides the Tokwa Maru, the schooner
Bohio Maru is known to have been in
the raid last autumn. japanese were
found fishing and trading with the ma
lives 10 the island of Attu, the western
most in the Aleutian chain, and we're
routed by the Perry.
The prisoners left on July rs for Val
dez, where the court of the second ju-
dcial district, in which the seal islands
lie, sits in August. The charge will
probably be piracy.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Aug. s Some
time ago Health Officer Auten, OF this
city, issued a bulletin to parents, 10

The RECENT hot wave lefe death in
its wske in many places. Several hun
dred adults will probably die from its ei-
fects. Scores succumbed as soon as they
were Frustrated, and others were driven
TO suicide. Hundreds of infants have
pinned and died from the tropical heat,
while their elders, who are compelled TO
live in badly-venlilated tenement houses,
have endured untold suffering. Hot
waves are as fatal as cyclones or earth
quakes. The latter do their work more
speedily, but the train of death is often
smaller than that following a torrid
season. The effects OF heated spell
are more lasting, as many weak and aged
people are Frustrated by torrid weather
and never recover. There have been no
fatal cases in Alexandria, although the
heat here has been as intense as else
