SALMON RUN IS
 ON IN EARNEST
 AT PYBUS BAY
Cannery Swamped with Fish from the Second Run to
 Come in from Ocean.

That the salmon run has seeming ly started in real earnest is the opin ion of George E.. sDore, manager for the Pybus, Bay Packing Company. who was in Juneau yesterday. MT. Dore said that last Friday was the day that the fish hit the gear oper- ated by the company and private fish erman. in real earnest and since that time it has been almost impos- sible to handle the fish that have been brought to the cannery. MT Dore is quite certain that the plant will be able to fill all it's cans.
 It was expected that plenty of fish would be obtained at this, the sec ond run, as millions of salmon were seen filming at Cross Sound and other places leading in from the ocean.
 The Pybus Bay Packing Company is now owned by the A. o. Anderson Company of Portland, Ore. This com pany does big export and import business, handling all kinds of mer- chandise. including canned salmon. The president of the company, A. Reiman, accompanied by his wife. re- turned early this week from an in specton trip to the eannery and will leave for the South on the first avail able boat. , ~.., .r. ,t ..

 Way to the Cosy Homes

-l. . tf.H.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2,-The old fashioned American home-the single dwelling with front and back yard is giving way even in the smaller cities of the United States to the modern apartment house.
 This is revealed in a report on 1920 building operations, issued by the United States Chamber of Com merce. The report shows that last year 70 per cent of the families pro vided with new homes. got one fam fly dwellings; II per cent, two.fam- fly dwellings, and 19 per cent, a multi-family dwelling. The same fig ures show that the proportion of multi-family dwellings provided last year was, largest in the small cities.

SEARCHERS FIND BODY ]
 OF MAN DROWNED NEAR ; KAKE TWO MONTHS AGO
Special Correspondence.)

KAkE, Als.,, Aug. 1.-The body of James Matthews, who was drowned near here two months ago, was re- had almost given up hope of finding the body, some three weeks ago, they found something which was appar. ently the outer skin of the sole of q human foot.
 This was sent to Dr. Carothers at Petersburg, who, after an examina- tion, confirmed this opinion. On July 22 relatives of the drowned mar came here to renew the search and the body was found the following day lying on the beach. Mt is be lieved that the west wind and high tide brought the body to the sur face Monday prior to the time it was discovered as it showed no signs of having been exposed to the air for several days. It was badly decom- posed almost a skeleton, except for the lower limbs. which shad been protected by trousers Both hands and one foot were gone.
 Matthews was drowned on May 23. His gasboat was found on the beach with the engine dismantled, sail up and a broken towfine attached. His canoe with the other end of the tow. line was found some distance farther up the beach, turned upside down Presumably the engine failed, and he put up a sail The wind probably changed and he attempted to tow the boat ashore when his canoe probably upset, throwing him in the water Although good swimmer and or dinarily would have had no difficulty in swimming ashore, he is believed toshave become entangled in the keII which abounds near the scene of thu drowning. and so lost his life.
 The body of the drowned man wal 1 buried here on July <23.

Harmonious Session Follows Decision
on the SiIesan. Matter--Lord
Cyurzon Protests WoundIng
German National Pride.

Paris.-The lifting Of the economic
barrier Of the Rhineland in September,
providing Germany pays up the sums
she undertook to pay under the Lon
don ultimatum and agrees to remove
the boycott against French goods, was
decided upon at the final session Of
the allied supreme council. 1t was de-
cided, however, to maintain the occu-
patton Of Ruhrort, Duisburg and Dus-
seldorf until the next meeting Of the
council which it is understood will be
Isleld previous to the Washington arma-
ment conference. At that time, Pre-
mier BRAND consented. the question Of
the occupation of the right bank of the
Rhine should be reconsidered.
With the question eff the disposition
Of upper Silesia out of its hands, the
council went to work on the other mat
ters which it had to take under advise
ment. The decisions were reached af-
ter NJ. BRAND as president of the coun-
ell, replied to attacks by Lord Curzon,
the British foreign secretary, and Sir
Robert Stevenson Horne, chancellor OF
the British exchequer, against what
was termed the present expensive sys-
TEN of administering the treaty, espe-
cially as concerned the occupation of
the Ruhr region.
This, Lord Curzon said, is very
costly and also irritating to German
national resentment and pride"
The chancellor of the British ex-
chequer argued that continuance of
the present system impoverished every
one of the interested powers, and that
means ought to be examined for reduc-
ing the cost as the high expense means
less reparation.

DIG Up STATUTE

MOVE TO CUT HIS LAW PRACTICE
LAURCHED-STATUTE EN-
ACTED IN 1858.
OTHER SOUTHERNERS HIT
Proposed Amendment to Edmonds Bill
TO Prevent ExCongressmen From
Prosecuting Claims Against
U. S. Would Affect Many.

Washington, - Pursuit of former
President Woodrow Wilson by partisan
politicians is about to receive a new
impetus by regaIvani2tng a long I'M
noticed federal statute which was en-
acted to keep former departmental Of
ficials in Washington from prosecuting
cases, or claims, against the govern
ment. The salute in question was
originally enacted back in 1858, but it
is not now recalled that it has ever
been even so much as mdifferently APP
piled.
Like many other statutes of similar
political nature of remote enactment.
it fell into disuse and was forgotten
even by its sponsors. But when Wood
row Wilson and other democrats of
less renoWn and distinction established
themselves in Washington as practic-
ing attorneys some Of the partisans
who had barked at his heels through
out the eight years Of his two admins
t-ations as chief executive took up the
trail, which should have ended in the
White House March 4, 1921, and are
pursuing him into the peaceful ways
Of private life.
The real animus Of the proposed
legislation may be glimpsed in the con-
sidered amendment to make the stat
ute applicable only to those officials
who left the service Of the government
since 1918. This amendment would APP
ply to those democrats who resigned
from the service two years before
Woodrow Wilson retired in 1921.
The proposed Edmonds bill has a
number Of shining democrats as tar
gets. Topping the list of former Sec
rotary Of State Colby, former Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Brecken-
ridge Long, two former attorneys gem
eral, Thomas Gregory and Mitchell
Palmer, two former commissioners OF

tary Joseph P Tumulty.

Although the administration is silent
on the subject of the negotiations with
the central powers, which have fol

ton by congress, leaders in congress,
some of whom were growing FESTIVE
under the strain due to lack of infor-

given assurances that progress tewa7d
a peace program is being made
Senators who were inclined to be
fretful over the situation have Gained
down and are willing to permit the
president and Secretary Hughes to
carry their negotiations with the cen
trail powers to the point where the
senate will rightfully take part in
the proceedings. 1t is for the presi-
dent to negotiate treaties and the SEN
ate to ratify them Until there is a
treaty the senate cannot be called
upon to act.
Officially there has never been any
admission in Washington that treaty
with Germany or Austria or Hungary
