COPY OF A LETTER THAT
 EXPLAINS ITSELF
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF FISHERIES
 WASHINGTON

December 29, 1927.
 SUBJECT: Fall fishing for salm- on in Southeastern Alaska. Hon. Dan Sutherland,
 House of Reresentatives, Washington, D. c.
 Dear MT. Sutherland:- The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of the 24th instant sug gesting that the Alaska fishery re gulations be modified so as to per init fall fishing in the southeastern area, this giving additional employ ment to the local population and en- abling those canneries desiring to do so to remain open for the pack | ing primarily of coflos and chuma which run at that season of the year
 I have no objection to reason able amount of fall fishing, and very careful consideration will be given to the authorization of such opera tions. One of the reasons why fall fishing has not been deemed wise in certain places heretofore has been the fact that frequently late appear ing humpbacks would loiter in the bays and off stream mouths for g considerable period and fall fishing might easily result in the capture of appreciable numbers as we'll as cohos and chums.
 If it is decided that fall fishing can be permitted without jeopardiz ing the future supply of salmon, no tice through supplementary regula tions will be given far enough il advance to enable those interested to take advantage of and make pre- paration for such operations.
 Thank you for calling this matte to my attention.
 Very truly yours,
 HENRY O'MALLEY
 Commissioner.

The Alaskan., 1928-01-13

w Hdt llCIle SHe udu IO say was glV- en through Mrs Hansen as inter preter She made no direct state ment and the most that the jury could get was by cross questioning.
 A number of witnesses were exam ined, but there was nothing brot out that cast any light on what oc- cured en the bridge nor how Paul died
 Paul Adams had lived around Rake more or less and was we'll known there. He lived in Peters, burg all of last fall and so far this winter. He was with Bill Worth on the mailboat Trygvie when that ship broke her crank shaft off Point Nc Cartney several years back, in a thick snow storm. He made two trips in small boat for help which was no easy task in itself. The last trip he made, Bill didn't know tho Trygvies position, as the boat had been drifting all night and half a day. No land could be seen. The air was full of snow It wasn't known what direction to go for aid. But Paul took the small boat, alone, and started out and two hours af- terWard made out one of the Mos quito Islands. From there he made it into Rake Getting on board the Rose with Eddie Williams, they moved out to- where they thought the Trygvie was and finally picked up the disabled boat near Point Cornwallis. Adams was a stout, husky fellow and splendid swim mer. The mystery in this case is that he should drown so quickly in so small a body of water.
 It is probable that the shock of the water, the stuff he had been drinking and the excited condition of the man caused heart failure There was no body examination, there was no postmortem. The in- dications of real drowning were ab- sent.
 The jury impaneled by Commis sioner Clausen were:
 A. B. Holt, Will A. Barrows, F, Nelson, J. E. Ames, Andrew Wikar, John w. Schoettler.
 In the matter of inquiry into the death of Paul Adams, we, the jury duly impaneled and sworn in the above entitled case find that the de- deceased came to his death by as- phyxiation from drowning in the waters of the creek, near the bridge, on the North side of the Alaska Spruce Mills, in the City of Peters burg, Alaska, at or about three o'clock of the morning of Thursday January 18th, 1928. We believe, from the evidence submitted, that the drinking of alcoholic bever- ages prior thereto was contribu tory cause of death.
 Those who immediately got out of bed at the sound of the girls screams and assisted in rescue work are: Chris Samuelson, Ed Walwick, Bill Worth, Ernest Lotsfeldt, Wi mona Lotsfeldt, Cato Haarburg, Mrs. Haarburg, Jake Hollingstead, Chas. Whipple and others.

Drowning of Paul Adams;
 Inquest Without Post-Mortem

Paul Adams, Indian, about 20 years old, was drowned about three o'clock Thursday morning ill the waters of Sawmill Creek where the bridge crosses the stream at the sawmill. The tragedy appears to be the aftermath of drinking bout and a quarrel. More or less during the evening Paul had been drink ing, although there was no evidence that the man was drunk. The girl that he has been staying with was in on the drinking parties along with Paul, but didn't imbibe to any great extent. She was rather anX- ious to get him home and to bed She chung to him for that purpose, and it is apparent that he, finally got mad at being so constantly urg ed to go home. They had been at the rooms of Mexican Joe's place around two o'clock, had several drinks of home made beer and it seems also that there was more or less bay rum consumed. Out in the street again, the girl endeavored to turn her companion homeward. There was resistance and the couple gradually worked down to the bridge. What actually took place here even the girl doesn't seem to know She says that the first thing she knew she was struggling in the water beneath the bridge, was near ly drowned and exhausted, and she remembers some one telling her to grasp the ladder that had been pushed over the side of the bridge as a rescue measure. She doesn't remember seing Paul Ill the water at the time, although he must have been close beside her for a while.
 Those wuo live close to the bridge heard the girl scream, and her voice was the urst anyone knew that there was something wrong. When the girl was climbing up the ladder the body oI Paul was floating face down about s or 10 feet away. It first aid work was carried on. Mrs. Lotsfeldt and others hurried attel Doctor Jones. The Doctor declares that tine man had been dead when he arrived, for five minutes or more. although in the evidence brought out before the coronor's jury, but a few minutes mad elapsed between the tme of the girls scream and the taking out of the body. Once on the bridge the girl went home and changed clothing and later came back to where they were working over tue body of Paul. Pronounced dead, the body was removed to the City Hall and was lying there on a truck when the jury convened.
 The body wasn't stripped so the jury never had an opportunity to see whether there were wounds, contusions or bruises. Dr. Jones said that the man was dead from as phyxiation by drowning, and that, apparently, settled it. So far as the jury knows there was no effort made by a physician to determine whether or not death was caused by any other means. Paul was good swimmer, yet here he is dead from drowning in a narrow creek in less than 15 minutes at the most from the time the first call for helI came from the girl.
 Paul's coat and hat were on the bridge rail. He had removed then and then jumped overheard. It is mt known whether he tossed tht girl overheard and then went af ter her to save her, or whether h. jumped in and committed suicide As the rail of the bridge showed n' breaks, it isn't likely that they wer' scuffing and went over the edge to

 Dear Sir-I have the honor to inform you that on this date your mins has been reduced to ashes in accordance with the disposition of this command, and to make more tangible our protest against the warlike invasion that your govern ment has made in our territory without more right than that Of brute force.
 Tn case the government of the United States does not order the retirement of the pirates from our territory there will be no guarantee in the country for North Americans residing in Nicaragua.
 At tho beginning I believed that the people of North America were not in agreement with the abuse committed In Nicaragua by the government of Calvin Coolidge but I have been convinced that the North Americans in general ap- plaud the intrusion of Coolidge in my country and 1t is for this reason that all North Americans that fall into our hands will have reached their end.
 For the losses that you have had in the said mine you may col- lect from the government of the United States and Calvin Coolidge, who is tho one responsible for the horrible and disastrous situation that is actually in Nicaragua today. If you are an honorable man you will be able to understand that the above mentioned is an accomplished fact. The pretext that Coolidge brings forward for his intervention in Nicaragua is that of protecting lives and interests of North Ameri- cans and other foreigners residing in the country, of which Is a tre- mendous hypocrisy.
 'We. the Nicaraguans, are re- spectful men and never in our his- tory have occurred such happenings as are actually happening and this is the crop of fruit that has been brought by the politics of your countrymen in our country.
 "The most honorable resolution that your government could adopt in this conflict with Nicaragua is to retire your forces from our terri tory. thus permitting that We Nica- raguans elect our national govern msnt. This will be the only method of paciflcation in our country. It depends on government to conserve the good or bad friendship with our national government and you, the capitalists. will be appreciated and respected by us always if you treat us as equals and not in the equivocal manner that you are at present doing to ruin our souls and bodies and interests.

fist. were offered on the auction
block. The portraits were those of
Lenin and Ruthenberg. The bid

MODELLING FOR
RED week DRIVE
WorkersP artyStations
Opened Turnout City

Two hundred funetionaries of
District 2, of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, assembled Friday
night at the Workers Center, listen
ed to last minute instructions before
the launching of Red Week, which
begins today and will last through
Aug. 26, ending with two Red Mass
Collection Days on Aug. % and 20.
The ready response of the func-
tionaries to the mobilization call,
and the enthusiasm manifested at
Fridays meeting, Workers Party
statement said, are indicative of the
thoroughness with which the cleo
ton campaign financial drive will
be carried on in New York. While
functionaries were cautioned by Re-
becca Grecht, campaign manager of
the Workers (Communist) Party,
not to let the work of gathering
signatures suffer during Red Week,
they were at the same time in
structed to bend every effort toward
reaching other workers in their
homes, shops and clubs for contri-
buttons to the campaign fund.
Boxes Distributed.
Collection material for the two
Red Collection Days of Saturday
and Sunday were distributed among
those present, including boxes, Gre
dentials and arm bands. Each func-
tionary also stocked himself with
contribution lists to be circulated
among workers.
In every section of the city, from
downtown Manhattan to northern
Bronx, from Long Island to Coney
Island, workers clubs whose mem
berships are conscious of the anti
labor role played by the capitalist
parties have donated the use of
their headquarters as temporary
Red Stations for the duration of the
Red Week. In all there are thirty
such stations, evenly distributed
thruout the city.
Turnout the week contributions
will be made to the election cam
paign fund on the special collection
lists. On Saturday and Sunday the
drive will be greatly intensified by
thousands of Red Campaigners, who
armed with box, credentials and
arm-band, will fine-comb the thoro-
fares, the transit lines, the beaches
of the city, in support of the work
ingclass candidates and working
class platform of the Workers
Party.
