purchase of War Savings and Thrift stamps amounting to over s1SO. AL though the final returns of some Of the more remote offices are not yet re- ported, the divisional per capita pur- chase based on the returns received is about $57. Taking into consideration the depressed industrial conditions of the past year, this showing must be considered nothing short of remark able, especially in the view of the large subscriptions to the Liberty Loans occurring during the same per- iod. We wonder if any community in America of similar size can excell or even match this record. There may be other communities of the same pop ulation that have made q greater showing but we doubt it. At any rate it is q record of patriotic feeling of which Nome may we'll be proud.

Reports from Haycock indicate that the epidemic created quite a scare in the Dime section. The school was closed in fear of an invasion of the deadly Flu and duarantines were es- tablished so thoroughly that the set clement known as "The Landing, at the mouth of Dime creek, instituted one against Haycock. This regardless of the fact that there were no sgns of the influenza at the larger camp. The result was complete tie-up of travel between the two camps for q time. Up to March II. the health of the community. generally speaking has been excellent throughout the winter. aside from q brief period last fall when a slight epidemic of colds and sore threats developed.

Commencing late yesterday even- ing, light snow fall continued during the greater part of the night. This morning the erstwhile dingy looking streets had given way to avenues of pristine cleanliness. The precipitat- ion amounted to about three inches and has done much to elevate the hopes of the miners that March will yet provide an ample supply of snow to fill the water requirements next summer. At the present time there is 2 serious prospect that mining may be greatly curtailed by water short age The snowfall up to the present has been considerably below the nor- mal. Parties journeying over the tundra report that in places the ground is scarcely more than covered. Along the east coast the trails are said to be bare in many places.

Reports from Council City arriving too late for publication in the Monday
 issue of the Nugget announce that q verdict of self defense was returned by the Coroner's jury at the inquest held in the interior camp Monday af- ternoon over the remains of Martin Johnson, the demented Casadepaga miner who was shot by Al 1iohler, a neighbor, while apparently bent on murdering Kohler and his family with an axe. Further details of the unfor- tunate affair developing at the hearing disclose that the shooting occurred on the night of Tuesday, March II. Ac- cording to the testimony given by kohler, Johnson shortly before the shooting had bothered the Kohler family greatly by presenting himself at the lonely cabin on the Casadepaga river occupied by the Kohler's at all hours. Realizing his condition the Kohlers overlooked his actions at first but later became alarmed owing to Johnson developing mcnacing atti- tude. He is said to have displayed signs of intending to harm the Koh- ler's number of times before making the attack which ultimately led to his death. Matters finally became so ag- gravated through Johnson's actions that the family lived in constant fear Johnson attacked the kohlef cabin armed with an axe, smashing the win- dows in his efforts to reach the in- mates. Not wishing to do him bodily harm, Kohler. although armed. decided to flee from the cabin and with his wife and child made his way to an- other habitation about five miles far ther up the river. Johnson made no attempt to pursue the refugees and they were not molested on their jour ney.
 Owing to the continued worry caus- .eu by the ln.luIllln s actlonS, MFS Nolt- Ter was almost a nervous wreck and Johnson's last outbreak and the resul- ally nrostrated her
 Owing to his wife's condition and the fear that Johnson might take the notion to attack them in their new re- fuge, Kohler was unable to seek as- sistance, as the nearest neighbors liv- ed miles away
 The family were given scant time to decide on what to do. however, as Johnson had not forgone his apparent intention to do them harm and again put in an appearance that night. This time he was plainly determined on murder and attacked the cabin with his axe with great fury. Feeling that he had no other recourse in protecting his wife and child, Kohler fired the shot which brought Johnson to the end of his career. Finding that Johnson was dead, Kohler made no at- tempt to touch the body and returned with Mrs Kohler and the child to his own cabin, where he was found by Deputy Marshal Johnson, who was on his way to arrest the madman. AL though the Coroner's jury practically exonerated Kohler, the Council auth critics were under the necessity of holding judicial hearing owing to his having been placed under arrest. The result of the proceedings, which were held Saturday, have not been reported up to the present time.

Although receiving a supply of the 1919 issue of War Savings Stamps some weeks ago, Postmaster Walsh has not yet been able to place them on sale owing to the non-arrival of the accompanying certificates. The de- lay is believed to be due to the fact that the PostofIice Department sends all supplies by second class mail. The delayed certificates are probably lin- the large volume of matter which

 PRICE PAID FOR ENGLISH TITLE

London, July 24.---(AssociatedP Press.) ---Dspenesltion of titles is the tender spot in British political life today. They are awarded by the King on the Prime Ministers recommendation. Re formers complain that for a long time titles have been awarded by Prime Ministers for purely party services and practically bought. by contribu- tions to party funds.
 The House of Lords has a peculiar interest in this matter because the old noble families are jealous of having their caste lowereG by the adding of newly rich and purely rich to the or ders of nobility.
 The question was threshed out last year, and there was g. general under standing that hereafter when honors were announced the reason for their bestorval should be published. This has been done in form, but, it is all legged, not in substance, because sev- eral much criticised honors in the last list were described as for public ser vices" which might mean almost any thing.
 The new National Party, which has a few members in the House of Com mons, has taken up the question. Gen. Page Croft, It's chairman, has written to the newspapers proposing to prove
 
 since 1910 one member of Parliamen. has rejected an offer of a title in re- turn for cash payment to party funds, and that the father of a mem Der of the House of Commons was offered a baronetcy for $125,O0O. He charges also that a member of Par liament who was created peer af- ter the beginning of the war, subscr;b- ed shortly afterward very large sum of money to a newspaper that sup ports the Premier.
 He mentions instances. One title, he says, was granted to a politician so notorious as to be regarded unfit to be candidate for Parliament, an- other to a politician deemed unscru- pulous and a third to @ man "previ- lousiy involved in a notorious social scandal"
 Gen Croft offers to prove his charges.

MANAGERS WILL
 NOT DEAL WITH ACTORS UNION

A meeting of the council of the Actors Equity Association, recently admitted to the American Federation of Labor, was held yesterday to dis cuss a reply re -eived earlier in the day from the Producing Managers Association who refused to deal with the Actors Association. The council gave out no statement of it's deHber- ations.
 The managers said in a. letter signed by A. Lawrence Weber, secretary, that they wouD1l not appoint com mittee to meet a committee from the actors for two reasons The first is that in bringing into your councils men who have proved in the past neither friend to the actor nor to the managers, men who have thrtved only in the fostering of bitterness and dis cord where it did not previously exist, your association has made impossible any serious conference between it and the Producing Manaserst .Associa- uon."
 The second reason is that the man. agers consider the present con- tractual relations equitable and just.
 It is understood the managers refer to Harry Mountford and James Will fam Fitzpatrick as objectionable. Frank Gilmore, executive secretary of the Equity, said. yesterday that these men, who have been active in the organization of vaudeville actors, are not members of the Equity Coun- cil The Actors Equity Association received its union charter from the Associated Actors and Artists of America, which embraces the whole amusement field
 Mir Gilmore added that Mountford is executive secretary of the -Four As" and of the vaudeville branch, while Fitzpatrick is vice president of the larger organizations and presi- dent of the vaudeville branch.
 "The various branches of the As sociated Actors act independently but of course can act together for the common good" MT. Gilmore said 'NThe council of the -Four As is composed of delegates from the various groups"

At New York the Prince, while a guest of the American Government ashore, will live on board IT. M. s. Renown in the harbor.
