PETERSBURG MAN
 DROWNED NEAR
 THAT PLACE LAST WEEK

PETERSBURG. Aug. 21- Manual Luzero. who was employed in the Scow Bay cannery. was drowned near the north end of the Narrows last Monday at about noontime.
 The accident was witnessed by sey- eral people on shore. The canoe was about opposite the red blinker at the point, when 1t apparently got into a whirlpool and swamped, after which nothing was seen Of the occupant. Gus. Kroeplin and Harry Colp quick ly secured boat and pulled out to the scene Of the accident. but found only the swaped canoe and the vic tims hat As the tide had just at that time turned in, 1t is believed there is a chance of the body coming ashore along the Narrows.
 Deputy Marshall Kildall went to Scow Bay on Thursday to learn what nc could of the matter but the only information obtainable was thse Lu- zero had left there in a canoe, which he borrowed from a native, Sunday afternoon. The man was a native of Porto Rico. aged S5, and unmarried. No personal effects or letters were found. tPetersburg Report)

ALAsKAN's LETTER IS
 OPENED BY BRITISH

SEATTLE, Aug. 19.-Three letters came today for Jafet Lindeberg, mil lionaire Alaska mining man. They were forwarded from Norway.
 Two of them bore no outward evi dence of having been censored by the English authorities, although the let ters. had to pass through that coun try. One of them was stamped to show that it had been opened and read by the censor and was passed as harmless.
 The single letter that was opened was one which contained a postscript in German. The postscript was inno- cent, but the German writing was there.
 That English censors were opening mail from the neutral countries of Northern Europe and addressed to American correspondents is a we'll known fact. for the American govern ment has protested against such ac ton, without avail.
 But that out or trio or letters it was discovered that acBnowledg ment is made only of the opening of a letter with a German postscript is regarded as of sufficient incidental interest to arouse MT. Lindeberg's representatives to a protest
 Those familiar with detective op- erauons understand that letters can be opened without betraying evidence of the opening except to experts. It is assumed that the two letters were opened but for diplomatic reasons acknowledgment of the breach of in- ternational postal rules was accord. ed only where the German writing appeared in the body of a letter that gave no outward sign that any Ger man wording would appear.
 Although 1t is not expected that any results will follow, a formal presenta. ton of the facts will be made to the State Department.-(S Seattle 'Times)

VALIDITY OF LAW
 MAY DE QUESTIONED

Another case has arisen in connec- ton with which the question of the validity of a law passed by the AL aska Legislature will be a main issGe. In the case of Matt Carlson, who was bound over by Commissioner J. B. Marshall to answer to the Grand Jury on the charge of selling liquor to an Indian, the Commissioners Court act ed on the view of the doubt as to whether or not the Legislature has power to change an offense from a felony to a misdemeanor, at was done at the recent session in connection with the sale of liquor to Natives. If this offense is to stand as misde- meanor the case could be settled by the Commissioners Court, if it is a felony. the matter must come up be- fore the Grand Jury.
 The uncertainty as to the validity of the law reducing the crime of sell ing liquor to Indians from a felony to Q misdemeanor win continue, ac- cording to local attorneys, until 1t shall have been passed upon by the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals. and. 1t is said. if Carlson should be convicted of a felony he will take the case to the upper court. In case of Indictment. Carlson will be repre- sented by John G. Held.

 FRANK's LYNcHlNc

Although believing Leo Frank gull. ty, c. B. Allen. editor. owner and pub fisher of the Daily Observer, of Moul- trie. Ga., declared last night that the lynching of Frank was an absolutely unpardonable act and one that will not be approved by the State of Geor' gla, nor one that reflects the senti' ment of the State.
 'I regret the deed was done. and believe this is practically the univer- sal sentiment in Georgia" he said last night at the Washington Annex. 'It is to be hoped the people of Geor. gia will not be judged by the act of a fef lawless individuals. myself be- lieve Frank was guilty as charged and on this point there is room for some explanation, especially to the people of the country outside of Geor gia. Frank was convicted on a clear chain of circumstantial evidence backed up by the testimony of ne gro. It was not Che testimony of the negro that convicted him, as is currently believed. Regardless Of this. however. there is no excuse for the lynching, and I for one earnestly hope Gov. Harris will make O strict investigation of the whole matter with especial reference to the appar ent laxity of the state prison farm -(Seattle PostIntelligencer.)

CUT IN FREIGHT
 RATES TO ALASKA


 SEATTLE, Aug lS.- Cutting Of Che freight rates to Alaska has resulted from the operation of che public wharves in Seattle, according to an announcement made this morning by officials of the Port of Seattle, tho Independent Steamship Company hay- ing taken a large government order away from the port through the ab- sorption of switching and wharfage.
 While the Port of Seattle authori- ties say they are sorry to lose the business. they are more than satis- fled, as they say that in order to se- cure the business the Independent Steamship Company had to make a big cut in the regular freight rates to Alaska, and they believe that the low rates quoted by the port com mission for handling and wharfage charges will be of lasting benefit to the port by bringing rates down all around.

FISH SCARCE IN
 KETcHiKAN SECTION

KETCHIKAN. Aug, 2O.-In an in- terview with the local cannerymen we learn that the supply of salmon has taken a decided slump in this vicinity. Owing to the recent heavy rains they have gone up the streams in great numbers and during the past week they have fell far short of their expectations. While the supply be- gins to get short about this season of the year. it was hardly expected that it would take such a sudden drop. Recent information from the Sound stated that the salmon run in that vicinity had been far short of what was expected Less than one week ago Information was received that the entire pack for the season had been only 125 thousand cases, of pink salmon. about half what it should have been. The canneries on the Sound very seldom get the benefit of the main run of fish before the 18th of August but in view of thea fact that their pack less than one week ago was about half that of other years it is good evidence that their pack this season will be extremely short (Ketchikan Miner)
