THE MILFORD THEATRE REDUCE
PRICES

Realizing that this is the time for
everyone to lower prices, the manage
ment of Nixon's Palace Theatre, will
be the first to comply with the trend
of the times. Beginning Monday, Sep
tember 26th, the admission prices will
be reduced to ten and twenty cents.
The former charge is for children
while the latter applies to the adults.
In reducing the admission price,
there will be no reduction in the quail
itv of entertainment offered. This is
made possible by an agreement with
the producers of the pictures who also
realize that the time has come for a
coordination of workers in lowering
the price of everything.
AS a sample of the attractions
which will be given to the patrons OF
the Palace, the same shows which are
appearing at the Stanley Theatre in
Philadelphia have been obtained for
exhibition here. auV' II

FOrty-eight Persons Believed to Have
 Perished---Capt. Hobey Gives Final Orders and Says, I'll Go Down With My Ship'---Great Work of s. s. Anyox.

Seattle, Aug. 7.-Forty eight persons are believed to have lost their lives when the Alaska Steamship Company's liner Alas ka, which has been plying since November, when it was with drawn from the Alaska service, between Portlandiand San Fran cisco, in dense fog,. hit Blunts Reef, off, the Northern California ooast.. att 10s o'clock Saturday night. The Alaska sank in less than twenty minutes. =- Twelve hodiesswere recovered: and one hundred and sixty six, passengers and crew, were res oued by the steamer Anyox, Cap tain,Snodney, of Enreka, Cal.-
 Thirty-two passengers and four of the crew are still miss ing.
 Captain Harry Hobey, master of the ship,> was without a life preserver.
 The Alaska was~ bound from Portland to San Francisco. The Anyox, formerly in the Alaska service, was bound from San Francisco; for. Vancouver. and had the barge. Henry Willard in tow, but4rendered great service in rescue work.
The Kusko times., 1921-08-10

I am going down with this ship, but if you do.what IteH you nobody will go down but myself" megaphoned Cap oainsHobey in his command to passen- gers and crew after the liner struck Blunts Reef. He perished.
 Seventeen bodies have been recov- cred. Thirty-one are still missing.
 Among the identified dead are the following: Thomas Johnson, Brooklyn, ;, N. Hutchinson, of PorSlaud,. chief stew. |ard;. Charles Heane; assistant ste ward; :; F. H. King and k. Pickall, passengers.
 The Alaska's boilers exploded after she struck the reef, and some. without doubt, were killedl by the explosion. Rescaers on the Any3x, owingi to the density of the fog. had great difficulty in finding the lifeboats and those float ing in the water.
The Kusko times., 1921-08-10

MYSTERY r OF M RS. KATE:
 MAH0NEY
Trunk Containing Her Mutiiated Body Is Recovered From
 Lake Union.

Seattle. Aug. 9.-The body of Kate M. Mahoney, wife of James k. Mahoney, was found today, stuffed in a trunk, in the Lake Washington canal, by the crew of the tug Audrey.
 The trunk foated after the rope attached, holding it to the bottom, had been cut by a sub- marine diver. The body had been wrapped in rags and the trunk apparently filled quickly.
 A charge of murder was filed against Mahoney, who has been held here pending the search, accused of forging his wife's name to documents giving him power of attorney to property worth over hundred thousand dollars.
 Mrs. MahOney disappeared about April 20, after having been married about four months. The fact that she had property and other valuables worth over a hundred thousand dollars; that she was P years of age and many years older than her husband; that Mahoney was an ex-convict-all these circum- stances pointed strangely toward Mahoney as being the cause for his wife's disappearance. About the same time he was identified as having been connected with a trunk occurrence at Lake Union, the following up of which resulted in today's grue- some discovery.
 Seattle, July 9.-Mahoney's only comment, when apprised of the finding of the trunk contain ing the body of his wife, was: "They cannot do any more than hang me-"
