SHERIFF FINED FOR
 GIVING GIRLS PARTY

CHICAGGO.-When a sheriff takes two or more pretty women prisoners from their cells in jail to dance, and the party become tanked up enough to become hilarious, it constitutes a contempt of court, according to Judge Frank Carpenter, who imposed a fine of $250 and a severe reprimand upon Sheriff Ed Ahlstrom, of Lake county.
 The girls, Margaret Dorland and Marjorie Moberly, were brought here from Davenport, Ia., as witnesses in white slave case. They were sent to jail for safe keeping. Recently they were seen at roadhouse dance and when they were brought into court federal officers made affidavit that Sheriff Ahlstrom had taken the women in his auto to the dance, when they were supposed to have donned their nighties and been in dreamy land.
 Judge Carpenter told Sheriff Ahl- strom that jail etiquette does not re- qlire him to exert himself to be nice to prisoners, especially if said prison CTS have vampish ways and perfect SC figure "A sheriff who goes gad- ding about with girl prisoners com mitted to his care by federal judge is not building confidence in the courts" said the judge.
 The sheriff admitted the fine was just but said he had received his mon- ey's worth in entertainment.

The groans of the injured wo- man finally attracted the relief party the next day.
 The Santa Monica Chamber of Con- rlerce telegraphed the San Bernardino chamber yesterday that a fund had been started to erect monument to the heroic woman.

0LDTIMER FROM TELLER
 ARRIVES ON CORONA

Chas Dinton, an oldtimer from St. Michael, Nome and Teller, arrived on the Cordova this morning and will leave on one of the next trains for Fairbanks where he will spend the winter. MT. Dinton came directly from Teller where he went to look after shipment of 400 reindeer, to be talk en out on the Apollo. Owing to this vessel getting fast in the ice an be- ing forced to turn back, the deer were placed in cold storage until next year.
 MT. Dinton has been connected with the Pacific Cold Storage Company for a number of years, and is we'll known throughout the north. He was at Teller when the U. s. coast guard Mo- jave arrived in port, after breaking ice for ten miles or more. He states that the stores at Teller were practi- cally out of flour, potatoes, sugar, butter and other staples, and for a time it looked as if the people would be on starvation diet this winter. The Mojave landed 36 tons of SUD- plies and quantity of coal placing the camp out of danger from want until next spring. The camp was very quiet when MT. Dinton left, a little mining and dredging going on. The freezup was quite early this year, ice forming on the 18th of October.
 The cutter Mojave searched diligent- ly for the Silver Wave, adrift on the ice field, but failed to find any trace of the boat. The crew got safely ashore with the mails and started down the coast for Teller. The Mo- jave reached port October 25, convey ing the party to Nome.
 The gas boat Meteor left St. Mich ael several days before the Cordova left for Seward and the states, going outside to have diesel engines install ed.

PROPAGANDA IN
 JAPAN BRINGS A
 PROTEST FROM US.

MUKDEN Nov. 11.-Anti-American propaganda printed in the Japanese press here in which it was asserted that Americans had landed arms in China, and American soldiers were fighting in the Peking armies, resist ing the offensive of General Chang Tso Lin, Manchurian leader, today brought protest from Capt. Nodman Baldwin, official American military ob- server here.
 As result the Japanese consul at Mukden has warned all Japanese papers here to suppress false reports. General Chang told Capt. Baldwin he did not believe the reports, but added that he was not in a position to reg ulate the Japanese press, adding his troops were being moved south over the Japanese controlled Manchurian railway.
 The American officer pointed out the reports in Japanese papers call ing him a spy in the employ of the Peking government. He pointed out to General Chang that although he was attached to the American lega- tion at Peking he had never met Gen. eral Wu Pei Flu, military head of the Central government.
 Emphasizing his protest, Capt. Baldwin said that every move he has made in Mukden has been shadowed by the Chinese detectives in the Chang Tso-Lin forces He cited stories in the Japanese press here purporting to be dispatches from Tokio and Peking in which it is stated that American soldiers were fighting in the Central government ranks and that tanks were being operated by Americans in the Peking field forces.
 Americans Neutral
 Augumenting his recital of the ac- tivities of the Japanese press here, Capt. Baldwin showed General Chang how the propaganda affected visiting Americans by detailing the experienc- es of the "Wanderwell' world tour ists, who were accused of being Am erican Spies refused passports on the ground they were not American citi- zens.
 Captain Baldwin said America was absolutely neutral in the Chinese in ternal war situation and told General Chang that the propaganda circulated by the Japanese press was seriously affecting American interests in Man churia, because of the gullibility of the Chinese public.
