COMMISSION BOYS WIN AT
 GAME OF BALL

The commission lads won last night at the A. B. Hall, from the Seward basket ball players by a score of Is to 4. The commission five lined up as announced yesterday, but the Seward five seemed to have been shot to pieces for only one of the team ap- peared on the floor and the other players were substitutes. The game was good and clean, little rough work being practised. The commission boys made 8 baskets and 2 fouls, Seward boys making 1 basket and 2 fouls. The lineup was as follows

extended his hand, and said:
 "You and l are friends, and this need not effect our relationship"
 Magill kept ono hand near his hip pocket. Coach approached Magill and said:
 Hands up."
 Magill quickly reached with his right hand for the gun swung over the shoulder and the other went to his hip pocket.
 One shot was fired by Coach. Then in quick succession three other bullets were sent into MagilPs body. The first shot was the fatal one for it went through Maglll's right hand and into his heart. Magill sunk to the floor and expired at once, not making an utterance as he went down.
 Coach, although deputized to arrest Magill, or at least to disarm him, turned to Bob Dawson and said: "Here am, tell the boys what did and that am ready to go and submit to arrest if that is required"
 Noftsger, who was then out on the trail bound for Seward, was sent for and told to return. Noftsger went back to Kenai and was told of the sec ond shooting. The next morning, last Tuesday at 6 o'clock, Noftsger ac- companied with Wik, started for Sew ard, arriving last night.
 The bodies were taken to a cabin and laid side by side, to await the ar rival of officers and the investigation.
 Noftsger believed that some one from the village took small boat, with an Evimude and skirted the shore of the inlet, reaching Seldovia warning the officers there of the shooting. The officers, according to wireless advices received here yester- day are now trying to make their way up the inlet in the gasboat, Willard B.
 Noftsger and Wiks state that Coach shot in self defense and while acting as an officer. Coach would have come to Seward with the two men but on account of his crippled condition, can not ride on a sled.
 Deputy Isaac Evans stated today that nothing would be done here, he having reported all facts to the Mar shal's office at Valdez. Coach will probably be brought here or to Val dez on the first steamer down from the inlet.
 Magill has been at Kenai about 3 years and many reports of his high handed methods have been received from time to time but no charge or investigation was ever made. MagilPs relatives are well known in the state of Washington, especially in the vicin- ity of Dayton.

been selected as chairman of the day and general announcer.
 As fast as other parts of the pro gram are devised various appoint ments will be made, all in proper time so that none can "fall down"
 MT. Woolley, Virgil Rich, Harry Mitchell and Ethel Leslie will have charge of the decorations and stage arrangements. Miss Leslie was select. ed so she could tell the men folks how to get the proper effect to the dlap- ings, etc.
 The committee has asked that all those appointed for special features and work, kindly notify the Editor of the Gateway, as he can be found more easily than the committeeman. And the Editor right now is going to give warning that he will publish a Gre niger's column" of those refusing to help in this patriotic move. He real izes that everybody is busy, perhaps, but the rally is. for the purpose of arousing, first, enthusiasm for the third Liberty loan campaign and also, indirectly, the sale of war stamps and thrift stamps, as all cannot purchase Liberty loan bonds but can help in purchasing stamps.
 It is case of thrash the Kaiser or be thrashed-so don't "renig" from this patriotic duty.

voting and the five opposing went out to hustle up their crowd intending to return and when given ballots, write in the names of their candidates.
 First Victim Dropped. r. At 3:&O o'clock, Paddy Ryan went to ,he school house to vote. It seems that Ryan, about seven years ago, served a term at the McNeil Island federal prison for grand larceny, which is said by some to have been a trur ped up charge, but was pardoned neal, the end of his sentence and re- scored to full citizenship.
 Magill informed Ryan that he could not vote aS he was not citizen but a criminal.
 Ryan quietly called Magill liar and in as instant, Magill whipped out his revolver from his hip holster and fired. Ryan Is said to have been un- armed. Three shots struck Ryan in various parts of his body and the fourth shot went into Ryan's heart. He staggeSed ard dropped almost di- Iectly into the entrance at the front doorway. Magill told others who had not voted to hurry. Exit and en- trance to the school room polling place was then made through the rea door, Evans body being covered over with a sheet and allowed to remain where it fell.
 Excitement is Intense
 Word of the shooting flew around tie village like wild fire. White men and natives cOngregated and discuss ed the affair. Noftsger was delegated to leave immediately for Seward to acouaint Che authorities of the shoct- irE. Charles Coach, crippled trap per, but powerful man, was author ized to arrest Magiil, anyway to dis qrm him in order to prevent further trouble until proper authorities could arrive at KenH.
 Groups of men gathered about the town and Coach went to the general store, conducted by the Dawson broth e"s and waited for Magill, as the lat ter was expected to go down there from che school house at any time.
 About 5:15 o'clock, Magill, having closed the polls, walked down the street and entered the rear deor of the store. Magll was armed, one revol- yer being swung across his shoulder in a holster, and another gun in his left hip pocket.
 Second Victim Dropped
 Coach was standing toward the front of the store when Magill enter ed the rear. Magill seemed to be ex- cited and going up to Bob Dawson,

Alabamians Want Income and Excess Profits Taxes
 Paid on Installment Plan

Washington, March 2O.-(speciaI)-Th proposed change in the law which now provides that income and excess profit taxes shall be paid in lump sum Is sup ported, as a rule, by business men in Alabama.
 The Kiwanis club of Birmingham has indorsed the proposed change, which. if written into law, will make it pos sible for business to remunerate the gov- ernment in partial payments extended over a period of six months.
 M. V. Trammell, secretary of the club, has communicated to the Alabama sem ators the attitude of the club. He de- clares that if business is required to pay the entire amount in one payment. the country will be rendered without money, and business, in the future. will find it more difficult to prosecute itself. He argues that business men without money cannot support the Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamps campaigns. and other undertakings of war character istics.
 It is believed that the senators will sup port the proposed change, although neith- CT has made positive statement to that effect

CHAIRMAN JACKSON ORGANIZING ZONE FOR
 LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
Plan on Foot to Have McAdoo Per sonally Present Service, Flag to
 First City Subscribing Quota

Liberty Loan headquarters of the Bir- mingham zone for the third Liberty Loan drive which will begin on April $, have been opened in the old coffee room on the ground floor of the Tut wiler hotel and are organizing the 10 counties composing the Birmingham zone. F. M. Jackson has been named zone chairman, while Harry w. Coffin has been made chairman of Greater Birmingham. and B. H Mooney is pub licity chairman.
 The chairmen of the 10 counties com posing the Birmingham zone are: A. A. Fen6ley, Blount; c. A. Stiefelmeyer, Cullman; T. Fl. Robertson, Fayette: J. II. Cranford, Walker; w. w. Ogden and J. C. Milner, Lamar Judge Mack Pearce. Marion: w. N. Maddox and Sam High, St Clair; w. F. Davis and Willis Lyman. shelby; Judge R. l. Blanton, Winston.
 As the organization is perfected, in- tefest grows in this drive and it is probable that the government will do- nate a service flag to the first city in the United States that subscribes its quota, and motion pictures will be taken of the city and shown all over the United States.
 This plan is being considered. 1t is stated, and if it is decided on William c. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury will visit the city winning, and will present the flag comforting the distinct honor on that city.
