TRAGIC DEATH OF
SHELLMAN BANKER
r. c. SEARS FOUND IN BACK
ROOM WITH LOAD OF SHOT
IN HIS CHEST.

News reached Dawson Thursday
that Mr.. Frank C. Sears, cashier Of
the First National Bank of Shell
man, had met a tragic death early
in the morning.
From news obtainable Mr.. Sears
went down town at the usual hour,
mingled little with friends, and
went into the bank building A few
minutes later a gunshot was heard
and he was found on the floor in a
back room with a gaping wound in
the chest, near his heart, and died
almost instantly. His shotgun was
lying near, and the supposition is
that he was cleaning the gun, which
had been lent out, when it was ac-
cidentally discharged. The regretta-
BILE affair, however, is surrounded in
mystery.
Mr.. Sears was agent of the Cen
trail railroad at Shellman two or
three years before he became cash
Ter of the bank ten or twelve years
ago. He was one of the towns lead
ing business men and was we'll
known throughout this section as a
man of splendid character.
He was about 40 years of age, and
married daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. F. Crittenden. His wife and four
daughters survive him.

AERO PRODUCTION CUT:
CONGRESS is BLAMED
Curtiss Company Will Turn Buffalo
Plant to Other Products Be-
cause of Dumping.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Curtiss
Aeroplane and Motor Corporation
claiming three-fourths of the out
put of the entire American aircraft
industry. has announced it would vir-
tually abandon manufacture of COM
mercial planes. because of failure of
Congress to protect the market from
dumping of British machines.
Manufacture of airplanes. motors
and accessories at the Buffalo plant
Will be stopped before July 1 and the
factory turned over for manufacture
of other products. it was said.
The British machine TO be dumped
on the American market are salvaged
war equipment purchased at / Fer
cent of cost, according to c. NJ. keyes
vice president of the Curtiss COM
pany.
The steps which we have found it
necessary to take do not mean that
the Curtiss company IS going out OF
the airplane business" he said. They
mean that it is going out of the bust
ness of trying to compete on d com
mercial basis with war machines sold
on a salvaged basis"
At the close of the war the CurtiSS
Company had seven plants in opera
ton. The largest, also in Buffalo. was
sold to the government for storage,
and leases on three other Buffalo
plants given up after the armlstice.
The Hammondsport plant was sold
and the Burgess plant at Marblehead
Mass. has ceased operation.

BRITISH AND JAPANESE
TOPROLONG TREATY
Understanding Said to Be Based on
End of Efforts to Change
Conditions.

TOXIC. June 10 (by the Associated
Press).-A general understanding rela-
tive to the continuation of the Anglo
Japanese alliance has already been
reached between the Japanese and
British governments according to the
Jill Shimpo, which quotes an I'M
named member of the cabinet to this
effect. Nothing. however. the news
paper says. has been settled regard
ing changes and notifications in the
convention.
The understanding reached between
Great Britain and Japan looking to a
continuation of their alliance is un-
derstood here to be based upon an
abandonment of any effort at present
to change the conditions of the exist
Ing treaty. This treaty 1t is said.
will continue in force indefinitely, sub
1ect however. to provision that
either government may. after july
Is, give notice of it's intention to ask
for amendments or for total abroga-
ton within one year thereafter
The decision to continue the treaty
on the present basis is said to have
been reached by the British govern
ment with a view to recognizing the
right of the dominions Canada and
Australia, to express their views at an
imperial conference which will be
held some time next fall, probably in
London.

authority on whist. the police admit
tel today that they We're virtually
without an important clue as to who
shot him in his home in this city.
Examination of scores of friends

there was nothing to Substantiate a
slight suspicion that he might have
ended his own life. No weapon was
found in the house.
Detectives attached some impor-
tance to the story told by Elwell's
chauffeur. Edward b. Rhodes, that he
knew a number of woman friends had
keys TO Mr.. ElwellS home Three
women We're wont to come and go at

Today he called attention to the
necessity of observing the right-of-

The driver to the right at any
street intersection has the right of
way" he stated in a bulletin issued
to members of the force.
ITO reduce the danger of accidents

Enforce the regulation strictly and
arrest any driver who Willfuliy vio-

give right of-way to the machine to
the right.
The driver who disregards right
of-way and who drives fast and reck-
