Murder Suspect Is
 Sought In Alaska But Officials UninfOrmed
MARSHALS SEARCH STEAMER FOR TRACE OF SUSPECTED MURDERER; FIND NOTHING

Late last week The Sentinel re- ceived a press query about William Tallman, suspected brickbat slayer of Mrs. Virginia Patty in Los An geles in 1929, and who is now be- ing searched fon in Alaska.
 Persistent unconfirmed reports have reached the Ketchikan Chron- icle in the past few days saying that Deputy District Attorney Rob- ert Stewart, Detective James A. Sarrett and a reporter are en route to Ketchikan or Juneau to pick up their man.
 Marshal Albert White in Juneau denies that the man has been jailed in the First Division. His office has heard nothing of the Los An geles case lately. H. D. Stabler, district attorney, also says that his office has not been advised. R. R. Humber, Ketchikan chief of police, says that he has not been advised of any search for the suspected mur- derer.
 Rumors that Tallman was aboard the steamship Yukon southbound were dissipated when United States marshals made a thorough search of that vessel while she was in the capital city.
 Tallman, "a radio operator and technician, was 23 years old when he was accused of killing Mrs. Pat ty. He is an American, feet tall, weighs about 175 pounds, has dark blue eyes and dark hair.
 While a radio operator on the Admiral Benson out of San Francis co he was arrested by the captain of that steamer, but when the ship entered the Golden Gate Tallman had disappeared from his locked stateroom. The porthole was open and it was assumed he had jump ed overheard. Since then nothing has been heard from him.

C0RD0VA CHAMBER BOOSTS HOME INDUSTRY; ITINERANT B00TLEGGERS UNWELCOME

The itinerant bootlegger, selling fusel-oil fire-water, sandbagging his customers, marking his trail with alcoholic deaths, ulcerated stomachs and impoverished victims, will find that he is unwelcome in Cordova this coming summer, according to the sentiment expressed by the mem- bers of the chamber of commerce at it's regular weekly luncheon meeting.
 The subject was brought up by District Attorney W. N. Cuddy, a guest of the chamber, who said, "We are fighting that element which comes north each year, pays no taxes, sells rotten liquor and then takes the ill-gotten profits south again. To wage a successful war against these, the most un- scrupulous of the law-breaking class we are asking the cooperation of the citizens of Cordova."
 The sentiment of the local citi- zens was expressed through John Muller, president of the First Bank or Cordova, who declared that AL askans were on the alert against the invasion of these satellites" who are parasites on legitimate in- dustry.-Cordova Times.

Explosion On Vessel
 Brings Death to Many; Search For Survivors
VESSEL BEARING MOTION PIC. TURF EXPEDITION SANK LAST SUNDAY; MANY MISSING

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Mar. lS-Little fishing villages dotting the shores of Newfoundland rag ged coast anxiously awaited word from rescue vessels concerning the ate of a score of men still missing after the explosion which wrecked ihe sealer Viking. At a late hour Tuesday night twenty-one men were in her, atioat somewhere on the ice foo rim frigid Arctic wastes, or had succumbed to hardships. Included in their number is Varick Frissill. head of the motion picture expedi- ton.
 One hunded and eighteen surviv- ors of the explosion, many of them seriously injured, had picked a per ilous path from the scene of the disaster, eight miles off the Horse Islands, near the mouth of White Bay, to shore, They were later talk en up by the rescue ship Ungava and are bound for St. Johns. It is believed probable that all those un- found have perished. Three surviv- ors of the explosion were found by the icebreaker Sagona clinging to a portion of the wrecked vessel. They were Captain w. Kennedy, Henry Sargent and Clayton King. King had suffered a broken leg and all three were completely exhausted. They were asked to tell the story of the explosion, but were unable to give clear picture of what hap pened and it may be days before the cause of the disaster is definitely determined.

FIRE SWEEPS BUSINESS
 SECTION OF CRAIG WITH ESTIMATED $15O, ,OOO LOSS
FOUR OF PRINCIPAL BUSINESS HOUSES ARE DESTROYED BY CONFEDERATION

Four of the principal business es- tablishments and a number of resi- dences of Craig were destroyed by fire Wednesday night. according to meager details received in Wmngell Thursday morning from U. S. Com missioner Bagley Property esti- mated at S150,000 was destroyed before the flames were controlled by brigades of fire fighters.
 The Craig Mercantile, owned by Robert O. Fleming of Seattle, was burned, but the dock and warehouse which extend from the back of the store are reported to have been sav- ed. The West Coast Fishermen s Supply Company store, property of A. L. Brown, was lost, as well as the Cogos Mercantile House, owned by Mrs. Cogos. The Owl Confection- cry, which stood across the street from the above-named properties, was also destroyed.
 Details including the origin of the fire were lacking at the time The Sentinel went to press. A wire from Dr. de Wydum to Dr. H. C.. Turner of Wrangell states that his quarters were burned and that he barely escaped with his life. It is thought that Dr. de Wydum was living in one of Bagley's houses on the waterfront.
 Craig is an unincorporated town situated on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, near Fish Egg Is- land, and was once known as Fish egg. It is rendezvous for fisher men of all classes and is an import ant outftting point for the mos quito fleet The Standard Oil Com pany had recently built new dock there, and so far as can be learned this property was undamaged.
 Work on the clearing of ground for a new $10,OO0 hospital had been completed a short time before the fire; new road work had been plan ned, and new streets had been ap- proved by the Bureau of Public Roads.

Work Halted At Shoemaker Bay On Account Cold Weather
COLD WEATHER FORCES ITEM PORARY SUSPENSION ON PRO- JECT; BURNING TO START

For the first time since beginning work at Shoemaker Bay shortly af- ter the first of the year Ant Larson, Ketchikan logger who has the con tract for clearing the site for the Indian Industrial School, was forced to stop work the past week because of cold weather. Due to the large quantities of frozen earth dragged up with trees and stumps, it was deemed advisable to cease opera tions until the weather had moder- nted.
 Roughly half of the total area has been cleared of the large stuff, and a lesser portion has been cleared en- tirely. Two huge piles surround the spar trees left for this purpose; a third is being built and probably two more will be made. The small CT stuff has been collected into num- erous small piles.
 Sub-contracts have been let to Carl Arola and I. P. Nore for the burning of the two completed piles, and extensive preparations are being made to perform this task. Arola has tunnelled beneath his pile to it's center and has also tunnelled off to the sides. Much dry wood has been placed in this tunnel and the pile is being heavily saturated with oil. A spray pump will also be used to spray oil on the burning piles.
 Burning from the outside has been experimented with by I. P. Nore but with results that indicate that more thorough preparations will need to be made.

Dredging Project For Clearwater River In Prospect This Season
O'REILLY, BACKED BY U. S. AND CANADIAN MONEY, MAY PROVE DRILL SHEETS

Passengers northbound on the Alameda early Thursday morning brought information which indi- eates that dredging operations on Clearwater River may commence this summer Details are lacking, but it is reported that Barney O. Reilly, who had charge of the drill ing on Clearwater in 1928 and 1929, is to be associated with the develop ment
 Clearwater is a good-sized stream flowing into the Stikine about 40 miles below Telegraph Creek, and has produced coarse placer gold in several places. The original discov- cry was made by James Jackson, an oldtimer who came to the Stikine county in 1897. Approximately ESQ., 900 in gold was recovered from an open cut on a low bench ten miles fom the mouth of the river in the early days of the strike, and the ground has been woked by primi- tive methods ever since.
 In 1927 Capt Syd Burlington, with the aid of the provincial gov ernment of British Columbia, built 10 miles of road from the mouth of the Clearwater to the discovery claims. and worked two years with drill crew under the supervision of O'Reilly. The drill reports were not made public, but it was predict ed at that time that sufficient gold had been found to warrant devel- opment.

STRAY DOGS BEING SHOT:
 OWNERS CHARGE CRUELTY

Complaints have been made to The Sentinel this week concerning the shooting of dogs whose owners have not paid the dog tax on the animals. It is charged that in one instance a dog was shot and wound ed in the street, but escaped and made its way home where it finger ed through the night before dying. In another instance a dog was talk en to the beach to be executed, but "eight or nine" shots were required before the animal consented to stay dead. Complainants are wondering if it would not be possible for the disposal of these stray animals to be accomplished in more humane fashion

KetChikan Native
 Held For Assault On Old Chinese Merchant
ARGUMENT OVER ROOMRENT CAUSES MIDNIGHT ATTACK ON CHINESE MERCHANT

Andrew John, a Ketchikan Indian well known in Wrangell, is being held in the federal jail here to an- swer a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, committed soon after midnight March IT, on the person of Captain links. 74-year-old Chinese merchant. who is undergo ing treatment for serious wounds about the head, neck and back.
 An argument over roomrent was the cause of the assault, according to links. U. S. Deputy H. D. Camp bell made the arrest in the after noon of the same day, and links declares that he has identified his assailant.
 Shortly after midnight Captain Jinks was aroused from his sleep in the back of his store across from The Sentinel office. The man want ed a room for the night. links took his keys down from a nail on the wall and was about to show his guest to a room when he was prompted to inquire about the 50 cents for rental. The man said that he had no money, but promised to pay on some later date.
 No jawbone," Jinks declared.
 The man argued for a time, but links was firm; too many insolvent customers have applied to him this winter, and it is said that the old Chinese has been hard pressed by creditors.
 As Captain links turned his back to arrange the blankets on his bed, the unwelcome guest attacked him from behind with a beer bottle, striking him on the head several times until the bottle broke. A Filipino sleeping in the next room heard the commotion and gave the alarm. Marshal Campbell, Earl West and Dr. H. c. Turner arrived upon the scene a short time after
 Arrests Made
 Captain links told the marshal that he knew his assailant but not dealings with the man, and thought he was from the west coast. There was a gasboat in town from the west coast, and the marshal found man on board who seemed to an swer the description, but when he was brought before Jinks for iden- tifieation, he proved to be the wrong man and was released,
 Andrew John was arrested on the street about 10 o'colck that morn- ing and was found to have blood stains on the left sleeve of his shirt. Brought before links he was immediately recognized and was placed under arrest. He is being held to await the time when links has sufficiently recovered from his wounds to appear against him.
 A wire from the authorities in Ketchikan discloses an unsavory po- lice record against John. He has appeared in court to answer to num- erous charges, among them being charges of assault, once with a gun.
