MOTHER |S KISSED WIEN JURY STATES
 GIRL NOT INSANE
OF ALiENiSTS IS GREETED WITH EXPRESSIONS
 OF APPROVAL

SEATTLE, August PA demonstra tion seldom seen in the halls of jus tice took place in the superior court room this morning when jury of al- ienists hearing the sanity proceedings of Miss Roberta Walker returned verdict of not insane.
 Due to the prominence of Miss Wal ker and her mother, who filed the all legations, the court room of Judge Brinker, was filled to capacity when it was announced that the jury had reached verdict. When the findings of the jury were read the crowd broke out in cheers for the girl and misses for the mother, whose exit from the room was hastened by derisive re- marks from the crowd.
 Miss Walker will soon wed Arthur Largent, the engagement between the two the mother attempted to break by declaring her daughter insane.

A. W. Shields, passing through ket- chikan on the steamship Catherine D. from Boring Sea, reports that the Pa- cific American Fisheries cannery ar Port Moller put up only about half pack this year, owing to the scarcity of fish. Their canneries on the south ern or Pacific coast side of the penin- sula at Ikatan, Squaw Harbor and at King Cove, however, put up their usu- al pack of red salmon. All other can neries operating on the Pacific side Of the peninsula were reported to have met with success also.
 The Catherine D. in going south has 5O,O0O cases of reds aboard. Two hun dred and eighteen members of the crew are also aboard.

GERMAN PRINTERS ARE
 ,' STRIKING; MONEY IS SCARCE

BERLIN, August 22-The internal situation in Germany continues ex- ,t-emely grave In the second week in July a revolution seemed imminent. This was not through anger over the murders by nationalists but for more primitive reason.
 The printers were striking and the money presses were idle. Money be- came scarce because the reichsbank's S reserves were exhausted. Workers fear ed their wages would not be forth coming. This would have been consid- cred sign of state bankruptcy and before matters could have been ex- plained the workers would have felt compelled for the sake of their wives and children to seize all available food stuffs and raise the flag of revolt.
 Suddenly the reiohsbank remember ed an issue of 500-mark notes printed some months ago and never issued. They were circulated and the situation saved until the strike was over. This fact has not been known before and the workers never knew the danger that threatened them.
 Meanwhile another situation has arisen. Her luck will not serve. sThe dollar has risen to 160 times its pre- war value. As all trade is regulated on the dollar, prices have risen to unpre- cedented heights, necessitating im- mediate increases in wages. Further more state and town budgets are up- set as well as the calculations of pri- yate individuals and the question arises whether we shall follow Austria whose crown is one hundred fold more depreciated than the mark.
