FUNERAL TOMORROW

CUMBERLAND, Feb, 10.-A public funeral for the fourteen white min CTS, victims of the disaster of yester- day, will be held tomorrow. Ar engagements for the burial of the nineteen Chinese are as yet incom- plete. The coroner's jury which was impanelled yesterday has postponed the taking of evidence until the sixteenth of the month. Many mar rowing stories of narrow escapes from death are being told by the survivors. It is found that the Chi nese miners were particularly fortu- nate in finding air currents through which they were able to reach places of safety. In some instances they passed by the bodies of the white men who had been asphyXiated.

Chamber of Commerce Goes on Record in.

REGULATIONS APPROVED
Declared Imperative for the Preservation of
 Salmon

SEATTLE, Feb. 10. Resolutions were telegraphed to Secretary Hoover today by the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce, commenting the Secretary of Commerce for his "farsighted policy regarding the fisheries reservations in the Territory of Alaska" The reso- lution particularly commended the work of the Secretary of Commerce and the Bureau of Fisheries in the regulations already adopted for the administration of the reservation here tofore created. The resolution states that the Chamber believes such regu- lations will tend to perpetuate for the use of the people of Alaska and the nation the valuable food supply of the fisheries, and declares that in promul- gating regulations limiting the catch and pack of salmon the Secretary of Commerce and Commissioner of Fish cries have endeavored to adjust euuit- ably the limitation of the catch with the sole purpose and view of perpetu- ating the industry. The resolution asked that the reservation be extend ed over the remaining waters of Alas ka at the expiration of the present fishing season, since the visible sup ply of salmon 'imperatively demands such action"

TWO MIXERS
 WALK OUT OF MINE TOMB

DAWSON, Col, Feb. 10-To the con- sternation of the rescue crews who met them coming out at the mouth of the mine, two of the miners who were believed to have been killed walked out of mine Number One last night The men had been saved by their own forethought. When the terrific blast was heard they immedi- ately put out the lights of the three lamps they carried. This precaution undoubtedly saved their lives, since it eliminated the chance of another explosion occurring in their vicinity. There is some hope among the res cuers now that others entombed in the mine may be saved.

 Years

VALDEZ, Feb. 10.-That Herb Hos kins, of Cordova, sold the furs he had stolen from the fox farm of Louis Van on Axel Island at both Spokane and Denver, was the fact brought out in the investigation before the Grand Jury in the District Court now in session here. It was through the record of fur sales made in Denver that detection of the thieves was effected The theft, according to the testimony, was committed by Hos kins and Fred Goodwin, now de- ceased, on December 19, 1921, and the furs transported to Cordova on the gasboat Totem, which has since been lost. The pelts were stored for a time in the Bohall House, of Cordova, and later, packed in metal containers and secreted in the false bottoms of trunks, were shipped out side on the Totem. The Totem, with Goodwin and others on board, was subsequently wrecked off Kayak Is land, and no trace ever found of the crew. Hoskins testified at his trial that the original plan of himself and Goodwin had been to rob some Japan ese on Green Island.
