The party's special was derailed near

the same intensive methods of con-
servation as are being used now for
war purposes were applied to the fire
protection problem, a great portion of
the S25o,000,000 annual loss could be
prevented.

Ole Anderson, for number of years a resident of Douglas Island. and well known on the channel, was killed at the Kennecott mine, having come in contact with a live wire, which result. ed in instant death, according to a cablegram received by Mayor Elmer E. Smith.
 Anderson was formerly in the em. ploy of the Treadwell mine as line man and left the island for Latouche during the early spring, afterwards going to Kennecott. He was young man still in his twenties and had fol- lowed electrical work since coming to Alaska
 His record here shows no relatives in this country, but gives his fathers address in Norway. It was learned late last evening, however. that he has an uncle living in Puyallup. Wash ington, and who will be notified if his address can be secured
 The sympathy of all is extended to Miss Elvira Wittanen, who was the fiancee of young Anderson. and who is heartbroken and prostrated over the death of the young electrician, to whom she was soon to have been married.-Juneau Dispatch.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. - Johnny Xii. bane, according to Jimmy Dunn, friend and manager of the worlds featherweight champion for a number of years. never will fight another bat tie. The words Johnny spoke when a friend of his was killed in an Ohio ring are about to come true
 Kilbane promised then that he never would light any more. but the lure of a fight with Freddie Welsh, then the worlds lightweight champion, and the added inducement of battle with Benny Leonard, made him break over
 Kilbane declared after the bout with Leonard that he would like to have another chance. Tn six months, he said, he would try again If Leonard would give him the opportunity. The probable truth is, however. that Xiii bane has hung up his gloves for all time. There remains no creditable featherweight for him to battle; his ambition for conquering two boxing records has been stifled. He has made lots of money and saved it. There would be nothing surprising if he never fought again.
 The question of a probable match for Leonard arises since he has beaten the man believed to have had the best chance of them all against him. In all the lightweights there is scarce
