TWO HELD FOR
IMPERS0NATINC
FEDERAL AGENTS

Members of the district attorneys
staff today are investigating charges
that Luther o. Crane, SO, and John
Hodges, 28, representing themselves
as federal officers, forced Lee Ack-
erman, alleged Imperial bootlegger,
to pay them large sum of money
under the guise of protection.
Crane and Hodges are held in the
county Jail for investigation, and
possible filing of charges against
them today, while Ackerman is in
Jail on charge of possession of
liquor. Crane is said to be a former
Los Angeles county deputy sheriff,
while Hodges, it is understood, is a
former Los Angeles policeman from
the central station detective bureau.
At the same time they took mon
ey from Alderman, according to in
formation in the hands of the dis
trict attorney, the men who alleged
ly represented themselves as officers
took a large quantity of beer 1t is
charged that they subsequently sold
the beer at place in Imperial rent
ed by themselves for that purpose
After charges are filed against
them the men will be tried by the
county, or turned over to the de-
psrtment of justice for prosecution.
When they visited Ackerman's
place in Imperial Hodges and Crane
displayed badges, and carried guns
and handouts, it is said.
Continue Investigation
"A ty;o OF
vestigator, yesterday afternoon took
sworn statements from several who
will probably be witnesses when the
cases against the men come to trial.
Sharp was accompanied by Hazel
Livingston, reporter for the district
attorney.
A thorough investigation is being
continued by Sharp today, in the
hopes that further evidence against
the two will turn up.
Ackerman was arrested yesterday
afternoon on a charge of possession
of liquor. He entered a plea of not
guilty when arraigned before Judge
Hawkins in Imperial, and asked for
jury trial.
Hodges was arrested by Jack Pow
ell, Imperial township constable, at
the request of the district attorneys
investigator. Hodges was lodged in
the county jail. Later Crane came
to the Jail to visit Hodges and was
arrested at that time.
1t is understood that statement
from both prisoners was taken by
Tom Sharpe. What the nature of
the statement was could not be
learned.
Crane had been in Imperial coun-
ty for five weeks prior to his arrest,
he told officers. Hodges had been
here five days.
Crane and Hodges vii be turned
over to the United State department
of justice, it became known this af-
ternoon. Under federal laws the
pair may be sentenced to five years

NEW CHICHACOF DISCOVERY HAS
 GREAT PROMISE
Tunnel Driven Over 200 Feet on Vein Carrying
 High Average Value

The Alaska Chichagof Mining Company, which has been engaged in exploratory work on it's property adjoining the famous Chichagof mine since last summer, is confi- dent it will be producing by next Fall. The early results of it's de- velopment program have its hign- est hopes and explorations will be pressed throughout the summer, it was stated today by Nick Beg, Presi- dent and General Manager, who ar- rived Sunday on business.
 A small crew Of men under Mike Stanton, foreman, has been drivir g a tunnel on the vein since about the middle of Arpil. It has driven a distance of more than 200 feet on vein that varies from two to four feet in width and carries val ues that, according to mill test made at Tacoma, averages better than $50 per ton. This work will be continued for several weeks and then a shaft will be sunk to de- termine the depth of the ore body.
 Experienced mining men, includ- ing J. L. and w. O. Freeburn, who are familiar with the district from long years of operations through their connection with the old Chi chagof mine, are watching the ex- ploratory campaign with much in- terest, and regard the new work ings as one of the most interesting discoveries in recent years.
 The Alaska Chichagof's ground is located about 2,500 feet from the westerly boundary of the old Chi chagof. Air for the drills used in driving the tunnel is piped from the Chichagof compressor house making the development work un- usually economical.
 The Alaska Chichagof Mining Company was organized under Ter ritorial laws late last year. Its capital stock issue consists of l,Oc5,- GOO shares at a par value of $1.

BANNERS EXPECT
 SMALLEST PACK
 FOR TEN YEARS
Outlook for l931 Most Un- favorable Since 1921,
 Say Operators

Gamers in the Icy Strait-Cross Sound and Chatham Strait dis tricts are preparing for the smallest salmon pack since 1921 and their general attitude is that the out lock for 1881 is the most unprom- ising in the past decade.
 Although it is what is termed an off year" in the pink salmon fish cry of Southeast Alaska, none Of ] the packers are exhibiting any signs of uneasiness over a fish shortage, an abnormal situation in itself, and virtually every one of them seems to be concerned with how little loss they can end the year with.
 1 And to most, if not all, of them, big packs at this time promise greater financial suffering than smaller ones. Hence the lack of concern over the off year" This is undoubtedly the prevailing senti- ment in the northern areas. 1t was discovered by representative of The Empire, who has just com pleted a ten-day trip in which vir- tually every cannery in them was visited, and superintendents and higher officials talked with. One of the most successful of the pack CTS apparently voiced the prevailing sentiment when he remarked: T probably will pack 50,000 cases, and I'll pay you $5,0O0 if you'll assume the loss at the end of the year"
 Despite this feeling, however, all of the plants that will operate are making the usual preparations fol the season Gear has been made up; traps are being put into shape seines are being overhauled; boats have been put into the water, anc the permanent crews are either on the ground or are expected or early steamers.
 The usual number of local people | Indians and whites, fishermen anc laborers, will be employed There has been no reduction in wages 1T cannery help, but owing to the ex. tremely low prices prevailing fo1 the product of the pink fishery 1.-the fishermen will receive mucf less than last year, or the six ore. ceding it, for their takes. Price' have not been announced by an. of the canners, but it is understood
 that contracts have been signet , ranging from four to six cent with the fishermen furnishing thei , own supplies and oil.
 They won't get rich, or indeed
 make a great deal of money a these figures, but they will be em |, ployed and earn something if tn :, runs are up to the of year. av l craze. And that" say the can nery operators, "is more than w
 expect to do this year"

FAULT IS FOUND

Fault was found by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce last Thurs day with a statement that Secre- tary Wilbur issued May II urging young men to go North to Alaska, land of 100000 square miles with less than 60,000 population" and possessed of unlimited mineral and agri c ultural possibilities. The Chamber directed it's Secretary, G H. Walmsley, to write "a strong letter" to Secretary Wilbur inform ing him that there was consider able unemployment in Alaska com- munities and that the Territory was no place to which young men without funds should come seeking work. News of the Chambers &C., tion was sent by the Associated Press correspondent here to the Stafes and was broadcast by the news agency there to papers in all parts of the Union.
 Without doubt, Secretary Wilbur's explanation today of his statement of May II results from the action taken by the Juneau Chamber last Thursday.
