GERMAN ARMY
LEADER dies
Exponent of Inhumane War
Methods Meets Obscure
Death In Berlin

BERLIN, July ~11.-CR-General
Friedrich Won Bernhard, who led
the Imperial army both in victory
and defeat, died here yesterday at
the age Of 81.
In the war Of 1870 General Won
ernhardi was the first German Of
ficer to enter Paris after its fall.
His prediction proved correct.
At the outbreak Of the World
War he was commander Of the home
units Of the Fiftieth army corps but
az his own request was assigned to
q field command.
He was an early advocate Of the
use OF asphyxiating gases and before
the end If the war was recognized
as n Of the premier s~trategists Of
the Imperial army. In a book pub
liShed less than a decade ago he pre-
dicted a war of the future in which
gases and airplanes would play ma
jor parts.
Bernhard was q vigorous expon-
ent Of "frightfulness" in war. AS
such he unwittingly became one Of
the best propagandistS for the al
lied side. for his books. in which he
laid down his theories of inhumane
warfare, we're translated and dis
tributed in millions Of copies thru
out the United States and the coun-
tries of the Entente.
How badly this author-soldier's
fame slumped in Germany during
the past decade is indicated by the
fact that twenty hours after his
death only one Berlin daily had
noted his demise. The principal
press services contended themselves
with distributing a one-line an
nouncement.

WASHINGTON WANTS TWO REPRESENTATIVES, IN PACT

Senator c. c. Dill said in Olympia last week that he would insist the sockeye treaty pending in the Senate contain a provision that two of the three American commissioners be Washington State residents.
 The Commissioners will be appointed by President Hoover who, Senator Dill said, has all ready promised to give support to Washington residents. The Senator pointed out, however, that the Presidents promise would not be binding on sue ceeding presidents. Senator w. e. Jones, of Washington, also has promised to support his stand, Senator Dill said.
 Alaska which produces the major portion of the salmon pack of the United States and Canada has made no move to have representation on that in ternational commission. It is being pointed out by resident fishermen that because of it's position in the production of sal mon, the voice of Alaska should be heard through appointment of a resident Alaskan on that commission.

Commercial Club
 Notes

The Petersburg Commercial Club held it's regular meeting and club dinner at the Grand Cafe Wednesday evening. A number of matters came on for discussion, among them the pos sibility of persuading the mail boat to Baranoff Island points to remain long enough in Pe- tersburg to permit mail to be opened and answered and allow mail orders to be filled. A com munication from the contractor, Charles E. Hooker, was entirely courteous and indicated that the captain would be requested to cooperate in any way possible. A brief report was made of the meeting with Lieut.. OXried- CT and others of the Army En- gineers in regard to the dredg- ing of Petersburg harbor. Most of those present had attended the former meeting.
 Pursuant to announcement made at the last meeting that a hearing will be held with the Bureau of Fisheries in Seattle to consider possible herring re- gulationS, a number of points were brought out in general dis cussion. Petersburg Commercial Club was the prime mover in requesting regulation of the herring packing as long ago as 1927. Apparently time has not changed the situation eXceut to bring about the conditions pre- dicted at that time.
 The meeting was very well at tended but there are still a few people in Petersburg who ap- parently do not realize what an excellent dinner the Grand Cafe can serve.

Enthusiastic Meeting Harbor Improvement

One of the most enthusiastic meetings held in Petersburg in 2 long time was conducted Mon day evening at the Sons of Nor way hall by Lieut.. OXrieder of the U. s. Army Engineers, who was sent here by Col Malcolm Elliott to investigate the need of improving the Petersburg har- Dor by dredging. While the i'm rrovement was originally re- quested by the Petersburg Com mercial Club the purpose of this meeting as stated by Lieut.. Ox- lleder was to determine definite Iy what the people of this com munity wish. Although a great many of the resident fishermen were out of town the meeting was very well attended and a mass Of pertinent data in regard to the commercial importance of this port as we'll as facts per taining to the depth and con- 2estion of the harbOr were brought out. Lieut.. James Truitt was also present at the meeting and made many constructive suggestions to bring out mater ial facts. In order that a full and comprehensive report may be made, much detailed infOrma- ton must be gotten together and forwarded to Lieut.. OX- rieder later. The report will not be completed much before the end of the year and it is reques- ted that any person able to furnish specific data regarding damage to vessels or delays to shipping resulting directly or indirectly from the condition of the harbor should communicate with the Alaskan office or E. N Dinner, President of the Com mercial Club.

Ketchikan Fish
 Buyer Murdered

J. P. Marshall, independent fish buyer of Ketchikan was found dead in the galley of his boat, the Phoenix " WedneS- day morning. The discovery was
 made by Captain s. HalvorSen
 of the coast guard cutter Cygan
 which lowed the boat in from
 Point Higgins. All circumstances point to cold blooded murder. A
 small safe or strong box known to have been kept in the pilot house on the boat was missing and the boat had been com pletely ransacked. The victim was found with his hands cross ed and tied behind his back and his feet also tied. The body was found lying face down in a pool of blood with a deep wound over the right eye. A hand axe was lying near and it is possible that this was the instrument with which the murder was done. The exact amount of money which was carried aboard the boat is not known at this time Marshall had been selling fish during the season to Sebastian-S Stuart but the last cargo was sold Sunday to Atlantic-Pacific, for which he received $528 but as the boat was actively engaged in buying king salmon on the trolling grounds it is presumed that more cash was carried.
 The murdered man was well known about Ketchikan. He was a man of middle age and part ially deaf. He was formerly mas ter of the boat Active" So far as is known he was alone on the Phoenix but this has not been definitely established. An in quest was called by acting com Gildea and pr. Mus tard was called to make an eX- animation of the body. A search of the victims pockets revealed S65 in currency, some silver and his watch. If robbery was the motive for the deed this loot was overlooked.
