 Delegate Sulzer further adds: "I held conference today with acting secretary Vogelsand, of the Interior Department, and am making every effort to have the original estimates of $7OOO,00O appropriated"
 EDES IS SATISFIED
 SEATTLE June II Chairman Edes, of the Alaskan Engineering Commission says that although Con- gress was asked for over $7,000,00O for railroad work in Alaska, he be- lives that he will be able to do a great deal with the $5,25O0O0 recommended yesterday. Chairman Edes says that possibly on account of labor shortage the commission will not be able to do more than $5OOO,0OO worth of work.
 Secretary MacPherson, of the AL aska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club, said today that he did not expect a larger appropriation than that recon mendcd yesterday by the House sub committee.

U. s. secret AGENT
KILLED BY REDS"

NEW, YORK, Oct. 25.-The last
known American to leave Russia
alive has reached here on the Nor
wegian-American liner StaVangsr-
ford, bringing the report that ope
United States secret agent had been
arrested and ordered. shot by Bolshe-
vik, chiefs, while another in his party
had been detained in Fialand by the
Germans.
Charles Augsburg. OF New York. for
number of years representative OF
the New York Life insurance Com
pSny in Russia, the American in ques-
ton, left Moscow with four other
Americans on September 20. A month
before, the doughty band of Americans
there had been warned that British
and French residents had been ar
rested and murdered and that their
turn was coming next.
The latter part of August a party OF
1o4 Americans, needing this warning,
quit Moscow, but Augsburg and a
few others remained. When they de-
cided to leave they ran a double
gantlet-the Russian Red Guard, hold
ing Moscow at bay by force OF arms
and frequent murderous attacks, and
the Germans, right across the line in
Finland.
The day before we left Moscow I
was told by a reliable informant that
an American secret agent, whose name
was given ne, had been ordered ar
rested and shot" said Mr.. Augsburg.
THE order was issued by Commission
er Peters, the murderous Lett who Is
chief of the Bolshevik committee
against contro-revolution, and an
order from that source seals the doom
Of any man in Russia
This secret agent had been living
in Moscow under three Russian pass
ports, and when It was disclosed that
he was really an American citizen
steps were taken to apprehend him.
We left without him and safely cross
ed the line into Finland.
There the Germans took from our
party Michael Perts, a government
agent and business man, and allowed
US TO pass. We did not see him
again"

PoTTSVILI.E, Pa, Oct. 25.-No cof-
I'm to bury his loved one was the ex-
perience OF a man living in Potts
willie. after his wife had passed away
a victim of influenza. He is q man
with knowledge OF handling tools,
and in order to give his loved one a
decent interment, he purchased the
lumber for a coffin at local lumber
yard, and built the same to the best
Of his ability.
The question OF procuring coffin
within his means was one that he
could not properly meet and yet re-
fuse to accept charity. hence, he took
the above course and built q coffin to
the best of his ability, then covered
il with material that took away the
thought OF laying away the loved one
in an indecent manner. 1t is thought
that before the epidemic here is over
many similar cases will be recorded
