Daly at a luncheon given in their honor at the Arctic Club by the Seattle Chamber ef Commerce, at which the fisheries situation was discussed. Later in the day they were present at a special meeting held in the Chamb- CT of Commerce, for the purpose of rerfecting plan of campaign a gainst the foreign diversion of the American fishing industries iron, Ketchikan and Seattle. Mir. Ryus feels that the meeting will be pro- duetive of much good for Retchikan in that Seattle at last realizes the real truth of the situation, and that EetchikaE's interests are ident- i-al with her own, so there will be TO mcre working at cross purposes, as heretofore

KRAUSE MAY HAVE KILLED
 FARMER BURKE

(From the Juneau Empire)
 That Edward Krause killed Paddy Burke, a farmer who mysteriously disappeared from his lonely ranch at Marmion Point, nine miles sonth of Douglas, several years ago, is the belief of the feder al authorities It was said at the court house to- '9v- that the engines of Burke's gasboat have been positively iden- tified as those which are installed in Krause's boat. Burke was sun rosed to have left his ranch in his launch but was never heard from and his boat never was found.

NEW BLOOD FOR DISTRICT

Col. Wm. T. Perkins who was recently the guest of Manager Scott, of the Wards Cove by-pro- duets plant, in which the Colonel is a stock holder, made the Progress sive- Miner a little visit while wait ing for his steamer. Colonel Per lsins will be remembered by every old timer as the manager of the Northwestern Commercial Go, at Nome and an all around hustler who has been identified with sew eral successful Alaskan enterprises since those days He has looked ever the Ketchikan District and has decided to become actively inter ested in its development in both Industrial and mining lines. While Eere he took a bond on the ole Omar mine, which he believes can now be worked at good porfit or account of the high sulphur con ], tents of the ore. He also inves- tigated the possibilities of manu- facturing potash from kelp, and is Sc favorably impressed that he will go east this winter to promote company for the purpose of build ing plant near Ketchikan next year. The Colonel intends to re- turn to KetchilSan with his wife carly next season, and the district is fortunate that new force for it's early development has been added.

MYSTERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT
ALABAMA MAN KILLED.

| An unfortunate Young stranger whc
gave his name as Arthur Cleveland Gam
and his home address as Sellers, Alabama
met with a horrible accident in Ne"
Iberia on Wednesday morning which cost
him his life. From reports we were
able to secure, it seems about Els that
morning, Mr.. Frank Blanc who lives al
the corner of iberia and Washington
Streets heard some unusual noise on his
: front gallery and at first thought some
intoxicated person had taken refuge
there. Upon dressing himself and max
ing inquiry as to who was on his Porcn'
the poor unfortunate said he was hurt
and in terrible pain. Mr.. Blanc at once
telephoned for a physician and DR.. w. r.
Carsteus responded and examined the
mans wounds, finding both arms hor-
ribly mangled, one near the shoulder ana
the other near the elbow. A cot was
then secured and he was placed upon 1t
and taken to the Shaw Sanitarium on
St. Peter Street for further treatment.
It was then found necessary to amputase
both arms in order to try and save the
mans life and the operation was per
formed by Drs. Carstens, King and
Shaw. While under an anesthetic and
at about 1920 P M. the injured party
succumbed from the shock, undoubtedly
his weakened condition from the loss OF
blood brought on his quick death.
The circumstances under which the
-. ha cd
by any of our officials. In the first place
there were no blood stains on the track
and the gentleman stated that the last
he remembered about his movements
was that he was sitting in a buggy IN
which he had ridden into New Iberia.
Upon close questioning he stated that
during Tuesday night he had hoardec
passenger train and rode as far as his
money would carry him, after wrich ne
rode forty miles in buggy and how he
got hurt he did not know. This of course
was an hallucination on his part. Even
the whereabouts of his hat could not be
traced. the presumption being that it was
caught in the wheels of the moving
train which was going West. The sup
position is that he had rode to New Ibe-
ria on the train and was put off at some
crossing below the City limits after
which he undertook to board another
and fell across the track and had his
limbs mashed. He had expressed his
satchel to Houston, Texas while at New
Orleans and was On his way there to re-
ceive employment. His appearance was
that of an industrious man and one of
refinement He stated that he was %
years of age and that his father was
named George B. Gam and resided near
Sellers, Alabama where he was born.
After his death the remains were
placed in the Broussard Undertaking es-
Enlistment and yesterday morning MS
father wired that he be embalmed |
and shipped to him. The accident cast a |
gloom over the whole community and
many of the ladies' sent flowers to be
placed upon his casket before its de-
oarture.

tor, and you have an ensemble seldom, if
ever, equalled in the annals of the stage.
Of the Bohemian Girl itself little need
be said: from one end of the country
to the other it has been proclaimed the
greatest comic opera of the day; its
beautiful ballads, "Then You'll Remem-
ber," II Dreamt Dwelt in Marble
Halls" 1.-THE Heart Bowed Down."
Bliss Forever Past" 1.-THE Fair Land of
Palond," and kindred others, together
with the tuneful choruses. the quaint and
beautiful costumes and picturesque stage
settings, have endearsd it to the hearts
OF untold thousands.
We believe in all sincerity that the
combination Of this beautiful opera
real eomis opera-with the notable COM
pary comprising this all star revival is
one Of those rare opportunities which
comes all too seldom nowadays, and the
Tremendous business which this organ
ization is doing is the best p-oof that the
public appreciates something out of the
ordinary.

PROGRESSIVELY.

Now that Congress has assembled ant
the Third Congressional District is II
fact represented by a Progressive, GU
erstwhile Democratic friends whose vote
elected him, anxiously await some OF thu
good things which Whit Martin was Il
secure for them.
True, the beginning of his career ha:
been little disappointing. First, come:
the news dispatch that Congressman Mar
tin and his five associates in the House
had held a caucus and concluded thai
their numbers did not justify a party
organization and that each should be d
free lance and act and vote independent
ly Next, we are told, that our Mr.
Martin, anxious to have his position well
defined, and not to be associated with
the just plain Progressives, registered
as Progressive Protectionist thereby
creating a new party of which he is the
lonely and sole exponent; and lately we
learn, that the Democratic Ways and
Means Committee, viewing all of this
and considering the fact that the duty
on sugar is to be continued, are of the
opinion that the Representative from the
Third District of Louisiana, will forsake
his present position and seek re-admis-
sion to the Democratic fold. All If
which tends not to inspire great hopes
in the bosoms of our Progressive friends.
But this session of Congress is but be-
gun, and things may yet shape them
selves to his advantage and enable the
Progressive Protectionist from the Third
Louisiana District to obtain favors and
concessions from a Democratic admins
tration which an adherent of that parry
could not secure.
Such is the situation which now pre-
walls in this District. Represented prob
ably by as able and conscientious an of
fetal as are most other Districts, but
whose political statute is such, that his
scope of usefulness is curtailed to min
imum, if not altogether destroyed. And
yet, the very same men who are re-
sponsible for this condition, seek to
further emboil public affairs and are
asking for the election of the Progress
sive, John M. Parker as Governor, patent
though it be, that should such happen,
that surrounded by an adverse legisla
tive, antagonistic and out of sympathy
with the Chief Executive, the accomp-
would of necessity be negative. The
desire for public office, the greed for the
en- oluments thereof the ambition for
personal ACCOMPLISHMENT CO ;r~en+;ve-
which urge some on in selfish efforts to
attain their ends. 1t is to the voters 70
see that they be not imposed upon, the
history of Louisiana records the fearful
conditions existing under Republican
rule and bears eloquent testimony to The
noble deeds, the unselfish sacrifices of the
Democrats to redeem their beloved State;
may the remembrance of these serve to
cause the voters to adhere to the Demo-
cratic Party and may they by their votes
administer a singing rebuke to those
who for selfish ends would, under new
name, resurrest the Republican Party IN
Louisiana.

PUNISHMENT OF COMMANDER Is
INSISTED UPON.

Washington, Dec S.-The United
States has sent to Austria Hungary a note
asking for a disavowal of the submarine
attack upon the Italian liner Ancona, as
surances that such ct will not be re-
peated some degree of punishment for
the commander of the submarine and
reparation for the American lives lost.
The communication started by cable
yesterday from the state department to
Ambassador Frederick C. Penfield at
Vienna, who was instructed to hand it to
the Austro-Hungaran minister of for
eign affairs, Baron Burian. Word of the
delivery of the note had not been re-
ceived by the department today.
Americans Must Not be Killed.
Friendly but vrm, it is said, charac
terize the document, which is understood
to make particular point of prompt as
surances for the future safety of Amer
lean lives Austra@ Hungdry has never
informed the United States whether the
commander of it's submarines had been
given instructions similar to those which
the German government gave to its
commanders after the Lusitania tragedy
It is understood that the note referre ed
particularly to the charge that shells
from the submarine killed or wounded
some passengers on the Ancona after
she had halted and asked for an explana-
ton On that point
In despatching the note Secretary
Lansing acted with the approval of, and
after consulting President Wilson. 1t is
stated authoritati lively that the document,
1phi cb ic ~
ly brief and decidedly vigorous in tone,
was so drafted as to attempt settlement
of the controversy at once without bring
ing on series of communications such
as followed the sinking of the I Lusi-
tania.
Affairs Become More Complicated.
High officials are said to be of the
opinion that the situation is one which
calls for grave consideration, the state
of affairs having become more compli-
Gated since the note was dispatched bv
reports of attacks on American oil car
rying vessels in the Mediterranean pre-
sumably bv Austrian submarines
News that the note had been sent
came as a complete surprise to official
Washington generally the reports which
ihaha'eu lioH the stare department
early in the week being that no positive
and corroborated evidence as to what at
ually had occurred when the Ancona
went down had been received T. rro-
said that the reports received were frag-
mentarv. conflicting or contradictory and
that until a replv to the inquiries sub
mitted to Austria was received, it was
probable that no communicati ton would
be sent to Vienna
