MORE LIES ABOUT.
NEGOTIATIONS"

TOXIC, Japan, July 31.-A
rumor, which started in Man
churia, says the Japanese news
service here, of negotiations
between U. S. S. R. officers and
Chang's officers over technical
matters relating to the mark
ing of the boundary, has now
been stated by the Chang gov
ernment's press service as a
negotiation over the return of
the Chinese Eastern Railway
to joint control.
1t is considered here that
this is part of the campaign
of falsehoods, deliberately set
On foot during the last few
days by imperialist powers and
their agents, to lull the work
ers into a feeling of security,
and by representing the crisis
as past, interfere with the Au-
gust 1 demonstrations now ar
ranged in every large city in
the world for the defense of
the Soviet Union and against
imperialist war.
BERLIN, July 31.-On the
eve of international Red Day,
when workers the world over
will participate in a gigantic
demonstration against imper-
ialist war and in defense of the
Soviet Union, White Russian forces
are reported to have raided into So
Wet territory and attacked the city
of Chita.
At the same time, lying and RI
diculous reports that the Red SOL
diers are aiding the whites are be-
ing circulated. These are palpable
lies. 1t is believed however, that
the White Russians have invaded
the territory of the U. S. S. R. with
the connivance of the Marking mill
tary authorities.
simultaneously with news of the
military invasion, a semi-official re-
port from Chinese sources last
night stated that the police author
tiles empowered to arrest employees
and also customers of the Far East
ern Bank in Harbin, Manchuria,
have taken virtual control of that
institution.
They have demanded that the keys
to all the important vaults be sur
rendered to them.
SHANGHAI, China, July 31.-In
speech bristling with threats
against the Soviet Union, HUI Han
min, president of the Marking legis-
lative yuan, yesterday declared that
it is a mistake to suppose that the
Chinese army cannot cope with the
Soviet Red Army. He speke frankly
of the possibility of war on the
U. S. S. r.
AT the same time, the Marking
authorities have instituted series
Of raids on Communists, that in the

arrest of 300 workers, much litera.

Shanghai is reported to have beer

at all costs and it is expected tha

End INT'L OFFERS
AID AGAINST USSR
Socialists" Promise to
Help Imperialists

ZURICH, July 31.-The Second
("Socilist") International joined the
imperialist powers in a threat of a
military blockade against the Soviet
Union in resolution on the Man
churian crisis, adopted by its execu-.
tive committee, which has just con-
cluded its semi annual session here.
The resolution declares that "in
case Of the acute danger of war"
between the Soviet Union and China,
the socialist and labor parties of all
countries are called on "to prevent
the production and transportation of
munitions to the countries con-
cerned."
Offer of Aid to Imperialists.
Under the hypocritical guise of
'impartiality" in the latest imperi-
alist aggressions against the U. S.
S. R., the Yellow international in
tentionally ignores the fact that, in
case of war, the Chinese militarists
will, despite pious resolutions to the
contrary, be supplied with all the
munitions they want by their i'm
perialist masters (as is, in fact, the
case even now. Thus this resolu-
tion is in reality an offer to the i'm

Shrimp Picker Proving Out

The shrimp picking machine in- vented by B. Grondahl of Storfold & Grondahl, packers and freezers, and V. Bottker, Seattle machinist, is prov ing out very well in practice and is being operated at the company's Se- attle plant this winter. The device is not yet perfected and is still sub ject to improvement, but MT. Gron- dahl declares that it has proven en- tirely practicable and that but few refinements and alterations will be needed to suit it entirely for the work. The machine was not em- ployed in Alaska during the past season, but undoubtedly will be ready for commercial operation by next year.-Pacific Fisherman.

CRAIG MAN SHOT

JUNEAU Efforts were being made late this afternoon to send med ical aid from Ketchikan to Lars Ol- son at Craig, after local Federal off cials had been advised he was sinking and an operation was necessary. Olson was shot at Craig last Friday by Mandrius Quala, who is now held in jail at Ketchikan on charge of shooting with intent to kill.
 Advices received by The Empire today said Olson had very little chance for recovery. Dr. J. H. Mus tard, prominent Ketchikan physi- elan, was prepared to leave for Craig if Federal authorities obtained yes sel to make the voyage.
 U. S. Marshal Albert White last night asked that the cutter Cygan be sent from Ketchikan with Dr. Mus tard, and believed until this after noon it was enroute to Craig. He was endeayoring to get authority to- day to hire another boat for the trip. Empire.

Mrs. De Croft, Pioneer Alaskan,
 Passes Away in California

Mrs. Lena de Croft, pioneer wom- an of Alaska, died Saturday at Calm Springs, California. Death was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage.
 Mrs. de Croft was one of the three owners of the famous Chichagof mine of which James L. Freeburn was general manager. The other shareholders were w. R. Rust and Hugh 0. Wallace of Tacoma.

The Associated Press says Mrs. de Groff's estate is valued in excess of $1,O00,0OO. Ju- neau people believe that it is consid- erable over that amount. She is said to have drawn down more than $2,- 000,000 in dividends from the Chi chagof mine.

RAVENS KILLING SHEEP
 ON WESTWARD ISLANDS

Rudolph Hector of Unalaska, who was in Seward recently on his way to the States, says the ravens have killed off a number of sheep on the westward islands.
 AS related by the Gateway, a swarm of ravens will alight on the back of a sheep and begin picking at the animal. Those resting on the neck stretch down and peer into the eyes of the animal and quite frequently peck out the eyes. Finally when the sheep has become so weakened from trying to rid himslf of the birds, he falls to the ground and this marks the end for him, for the ravens then begin to tear him to pieces.

Local Marine Insurance AdjuSter
 For Wrangell

At the weekly luncheon of the Commercial Club last Monday A. B. Anderson addressed the Club on the need of Wrangell having local ma rine insurance adjuster.
 MT. Anderson pointed out that un- der present conditions, if an insured boat is wrecked or damaged while in the vicinity of Wrangell it is neces- sary to delay repair work until the owner can get in touch with an ad- ulster at Ketchikan or Juneau, and a survey made to ascertain the dam age. This also means additional ex- pense as we'll as unnecessary delay which may occur at a time of the year when delays are very expensive.
 The remarks of MT. Anderson were we'll received, and after some discus sion of the matter the Club voted unanimously to petition the Board of Marine Underwriters to appoint a local marine insurance adjuster for Wrangell, and also to recommend Charles Darwell for the position.
 MT. Darwell was not present at the luncheon, but when advised later of the action of the Club he stated that if the appointment were ten dered him he would accept same.

WASHINGTON-In face of the known objection of President Cool idge to one of its provisions, the bill authorizing the construction of 15 ten-thousand ton cruisers and an air plane carrier at total cost of $274,- 100000 was passed by the senate by a vote of 6S to 12. The bill now goes to the house, which will probably ap- prove it as it stands.
 In it's present form the measure calls for the laying down of five cruisers and an airplane carrier be- fore next July 1st, five cruisers dur ing 1880 and the remaining five ships before July, 1881. It is this provi- sion that President Coolidge vehe- mently protested against. Even now it is reported that he may veto the bill or hold up the funds necessary for construction.
 The only change in the bill from its original form was the appending of a provision requesting the Presi- dent to negotiate treaties with all foreign powers flor protection of the rights of neutrals."

BIG PAPER CONCERN BUYS
 ACREAGE STATE OF ALABAMA
International Paper Company Will Undertake Reforestation on
 A Gigantic Scale

MOBILE, Alabama - Purchase of 0,00O acres of land in Baldwin coun- ty, Alabama, by the International Pa per Company which is erecting S5,00O,000 paper mill in Mobile was announced here this week. The land which will be used by the paper com pany for reforestation, was bought from the Southern States Lumber Company, of Pensacola, Florida.
 The Baldwin county tract, it was reported, will be used by the paper company in proposed vast system of reforestation to assure a sufficient supply of timber in future years. Timber on the land at present, which is small and too young for use in the manufacture of paper, will be pro tected, while thousands of other seed lings of pine will be planted under the reforestation plan and probably will be available for use in 20 years.
 The International Paper Company has in it's employ a group of refor- estation experts and the work of re- forestation will be undertaken by them in the near future. They also will be invited to a meeting of naval stores operators of Southern Alabama and Western Florida next month, when reforestation will be fully dis cussed.
