INVERTEBRATES SLAYER
 TO DIE FOR CRIME

Trenton, N. J., Feb. eff Edgar c. Murphy, convicted of the murder of Herman Fisher at Taylor's sta ton, Is not granted q stay of exc cution he will die in the electric chair, at the State prison here dur ing the week of February s.
 Murphy shot and killed Fisher on the night of July Il, after the lat ter had visited his sweetheart's s home. Murphy had been calling on the girls sister, but was told to discontinue his visits when it be- came known he was 0 married man. According to the testimony, Mur- phy blamed Fisher for the telling of his marriage. The shooting oc- cured along a corn field. Two days later Murphy was arrested, and in a confession, which he afterward re- pudiated, Murphy admitted the crime.
 When Murphy was sentenced to death by Justice Kalisch, in the Mount Holly court house, he acted like a raving maniac. He fought and struggled with court officers un til they had to resort to chaining his wrists and ankles in order to remove him from court.

SALMON CANNERIEs FINED
 BY THE DISTRICT COURT

Juneau Empire: For violation or the Federal fisheries laws in re- gard to Sunday fishing, the Glacier Packing company must pay fine e $1OO.OO, which represents two indictments, the Taku Canning x Cold Storage must pay a fine Of S25O.OO and the Alaska-Pacific Fisn' cries company an equal amount Judge Robert w. Jennings this morning in the United States court Imposed the fines. Forty days was allowed the Glacer company anC the Alaska-Pacific company, n which to file bill of exceptions, before the fines are executed.
 The action of Judge Jennings is believed to mark the wind-up of the now famous fish trap cas- es, which were tried here in NoYem- Der. Recently motions for retTials in the three cases were denied by fudge Jennings.
 In a plea for the mitigation Of the punishment of the Glacier Co, their attorney presented an affda- wit of Supt. J. P. Nelson, and a statement from H. B. Worthen, who wae foreman of the petit jury that 7oYnd the Glacier company guilty under the instructions of the court but technically rot guilty of in- tent to violate the law" District Attorney Reagan approved the bid o' Nelson for clemency.
 Motion of N. L. Burton, counsel fer the Thlingct Packing company supported by a brief from their at torney, one of the owners Of the company, for a retrial of the case WIS entered. Judge Jennings in- timated he would over-rule the mo- ti9n, but at the suggestion Of Mr. Burton, consideration of the motion was continued over the term.

IS BELIEVED HE
 FELL IN RIVER

Whitehorse Star: George Scott, the Livingstone and Hootalinqua mail carrier, was in town the early part of the week, and from his ac- count relative to the missing of Marion ("Tennessee') Davis, the young man mentioned In last weeks paper as having disappeared from where he was engaged at wood cut ting twelve miles down the Thirty mile river, there is little doubt but that he was accidentally drowned.
 Scott called at Davis cabin and found 1t just as It had been left by the occupant. The clothes of the bed were neatly turned down as though the young man had been about to retire. The fact that the waterbucket Is missing leads Scott 70 believe that he, Davis, went for q bucket of water the last thing q. night and fell from the shore ice into the open channel or tue river which is both swift and deep at that point.
 w. E. Williams roadhouse keeper at Lower Lebarge where Davis visit'd on December 24th, since which date he ms not been seen, believes he was either drowned or lost in the woods on the opposite side of the river from his cabin, the young man not being an experienced woodsman.
 If the theory that the young man was drowned Is correct, there is no hope of his body being recovered be- lore the breaking up of the ice next spring. and very little then.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 6-The Ger nan attempt yesterday to break through the Russian line at Bor- jfmon, west of Warsaw, consisted of series of the most vicious at- tacks since the battle at Lodz, there being 1O5,oOO men and 600 artillery guns in action.
 There were 30,00O Germans to the mile advancing in ten and twelve lines like the waves of the sea.
 The Russians had concentrated about the same number as the Germans on the battlefield, which was & fiat plain where the trees and houses had been demolished in pre- vjous engagements. The Russian1 met the German advance with a deadly rifle fire and then with the bayonet.. In the close and desper- ote fighting whole companies on each side were practically en. terminated. --.. --.
 The battle, which is Ikened to that of Borodino, when Napoleon lost tie Russian campaign, has continued with unabated violence for two days.

ABB USING
OUR FLAG.

THE German government liz making
a great fuss over the alleged killing in
cold blood of the crew of a German
submarine by the crew of an English
patrol ship. According to the AFT.
daVits of American citizens serving
as m~ule-tenders OH the British merch.
anlman Nicosian, the U-boat was try.
ing TO sink the vessel when the Bar.
along anne alongside and sunk the
submarine; and the helpless Germans
were then shot as they were strugg.
ling in the water and seeking refuge
on the Nicosian.
It's a story of revolving inhumanity
and cynical disregard of the laws of
war, and if true, a blot on the honor
Of England.
a few weeks ago the British govern.
ment was making a great fuss over
the alleged killing of the crew of a
British submarine by the crew of a
German destroyer. According TO the
story that came from Copenhagen,
supported by affidavits, the British
craft had gone n ground on the Danish
coast. The German warailip, happen.
ing along as the submarine lay strand
ed, shellcd it and then turned rapid
fire and machine guns On The English
sailors struggling in the water, mas.
sacring them to a man. TO the illeg-
ality and dishonor of the act alleged
was added the offcnse committed
against a neutral country by attack.
Ing the craft and ere win Danish terri.
tory.
The United States government. no
matter what it's citizens may say or
think, is not legitimately concerned
with either of these shameful affairs.
1t Is not the function of our govern.
ment either TO rebuke Great Britain
for a hideous reprisal, nor TO inform
Ambassador yon Bernstorff that when
Germany brings complaints against
England in the court OF American op.
lnion she should come into court with
clean hands.
There is one phase of the case, how,
ever, that does concern this nation.
That is the report that the British
ship fred on the U-boat while flying
the American flag. Under the usage
OF war, II is regarded as Legitimate fol-
a warship to deceive the enemy by
using a false flag while m"aneuvering
for an attack. That Is what the Ger.
man cruiser Emden did on many oc,
caslons, and what many German sub
marines have done. But before a shot
is 6ry e. the false flag must come down
and the right flag go up. II the Ger,
