FIVE MONTHS JAIL.
 TERM IS NOT LONG
 ENOUGH, SAYS DIAZ

To most individuals five-month jail sentence for engaging in a rough and tumble brawl would seem plenty, but that's not the sentiment displayed by Jack Diaz, who drew such term at the hands of Judge Charles Sey yesterday. Make 1t nine months, judge" said Diaz, fur ther explaining that the five month sojourn would come to an end at the wrong season of the year.
 Diaz was tried before a jury in the United States Commissioners Court yesterday and found guilty of the crime of assault and bat tery upon the person of one Gus Rosenberg. Gus is said to have been badly battered up in the frac- us which took place on lower Front Street in a car driven by Rosenberg.
 The code provided for but six months imprisonment, so Judge Sey wasn't able to grant Diaz his request for the nine months.

 BY WARDEN GARSTER

With two purse seiners in train, picked up at Mole Harbor, Seymour Canal, Special Fisheries Warden W. R. Garster arrived here last night on the Chirikof to turn the crews over to Federal authorities cn charges of violating the Alaska Fisheries Law. The boats were al legged to have made sets at least one mile inside of the markers at the mouth of Mole River.
 The boats were the Klawock No, ', Capt. George James, and Re- liance, Capt. David Peratovich, both of Klawock. The vessels are owned by Libby, McNeill and Libby and operated out of the Craig can- nery.
 The main runs of salmon is showing up in Stephens Passage, and there were large numbers of fish in Seymour Canal yesterday, Warden Garster said. At Taku Harbor, the Libby plant yesterday had 46000 cases and was only D. 0OO short of the pack at this time last year. It got in two scow loads of fish last night.

CipH Guard, Relic of Monarchy. Holds
 Republican Spain in Cheek No,vadays
By A. EDWARD sTUNTz

MADRID, July 30-Under the motto honor is the principal jew cl,' Spain's resplendent civJl guardsmen ride and march across the rugged countryside of the new republic with a diligence and discipline inherited from monar- chial organizers.
 The civil guard is to Spain what the northwest mounted is to Cana da or the Texas rangers to the Lone Star state.
 The future of the corps became a moot question with proclamation of the republic. Many left repub- licans insisted the guard be abal- leans. as a remnant of monarchial oppression of the people. This the provisional government refused to do.
 Patrol In Couples
 Instead General Jose Sanjurjo one of Spain's most efficient sol- diers, was recalled from duty in Morocco and given its command.
 Organized in 1844 by the Duke of Ahumada the guard now num- bers 5o,0oO men Twenty nine divi- slons of thousand men and 200 horses each, are stationed in vari- ous portions of the spanish penin- Sular. To. another division of 1000 falls the constantly mobile duty of guarding railroad trains.
 Life for the guardsman, mounted or afoot, generally is a lonely and thankless routine. Always patrol ling in pairs, they are distributed the towns and villages dos- ting Spain's bleak and mountain ous landscape from the Mediterra- mean to the Atlantic, from Gibral- tar to the Pyrenees.
 Strikes, brawls, incipient riots place them automatically on 24 hour call Even the public fies- tas, football games and bull fights mean work for the guards. More often than not they help munich pie police handle tho crowds.

erally satisfactory everywhere. It was realized in advance that on the Nushagak side the runs were likely to be light Consequently when this condition developed there was no astonishment felt. The season was materially shortened there to insure an adequate escapement to the spawning beds.
 Owing to the unforeseen appear ance of a floating cannery on the other side of the bay, an addition of "A hours was made to the weekly closed period, and later ow- ing to the fact that other gear was moved there, the entire dis trict was closed down a week ear Her than was provided for in the original regulations.
 Mere Weirs Planned
 More than 100000 fish had en- tered Naknek by the last weir count. Ugashik is in very fine shape and like conditions prevail in the Kvichak River district although no weir was erected there this sea- son. Next year it is expected that weirs will be installed in every spawning stream in the district.
 Karluk has very good pink sal mon run. The red fish, however, have not appeared in the quanti- ties that were to have been expect ed on the basis of the escapement of six years ago. However, the sea- sen there is long and there is plenty of time for them before it ends.
 The runs of pinks around Kodiak Island have been large, the Con- missioner said. Although the con- nercial take in Cook Inlet is below ast years the escapement has been good

"COPPER" NO us DEAD;
TIM MACKASSEY SERVED
FOR YEARS IN TUNNEL

Harry Trick, detective, is remem-
bered by practically every older
member of the department.
The episode occurred on Irish
Hill" on Noble street near the
downtown district, where Mackassey
patrolled beat.
Trick then was a sergeant. On a
cold night in midwinter, he entered
the waiting room of doctors Of

Trick said, he found MackaSsey and
his partner" "Scotty, the Cop"
asleep by a large stove.
When Trick closed the door,
Mackassey awoke, springing to at

Mackassey lifted his billy
and hit Scotty a resounding blow
on the head. Scotty awoke, Trick

PUSHES COP AROUND
Stolen Cars Driver Then
Makes Getaway.

Traffic officer G. r. Peak is just
another citizen to one Indianapolis
automobile thief.
Driving east on New York street
late Wednesday, Peak was struck
by an automobile which crowded
him to the curb. Peak pursued the
well-dreSsed autoist and yelled to
him to pull over there"
The motorist, however, merely
made a gesture which is an insult
in any language, and turned north
in Noble street.
Peak lost trace of the driver and
learned the car he was chasing had
been stolen shortly before the acct
dent from Carl Jones, 236 Christian
avenue. The car was found later
Wednesday in front of lit East
Michigan street.
Peak says when the autoist is
caught he will be charged with
auto theft, reckless driving, failure
to observe a traffic signal. failure
to stop after an accident, and fail
ure to observe preferential street.

The career of Copper No. H.
whom thousands knew in the days
when the old street car and pedes-
TRAN tunnel existed under the
Union station, ended in death today.
That copper" who for thirty
years kept the distinction OF
wearing badge No. 1, was Tim"
Mackassey.
He died this morning at his home,
220 North Summit avenue, after a
short illness. Tim" was retired on
pension ten years ago.
Officer Mackassey for years was
stationed in the tunnel guard
house." established by authorities
after the tunnel became the haunt
of thugs who prayed on the unwary
in the dark.
The "guardhouse" was a tiny
shanty midway in the tunnel. There
vigilant outlook was kept for pick
pockets and footpads until the peril
of arrest became so great that the
'guardhouse" was abandoned.
His pronounced Irish brogue and
his sense of humor led his fellow
officers to call him the comedian
of the force.

BRITAIN PLANS
HALT ON NAVY
1892 Building Program
May Be Suspended.
By United Press

By United Press
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Daily
Herald said today that the govern
ment is considering temporary
suspension of the entire naval build
ing program for 1882, with excep-
ton of submarines.
Permanence of the suspension, it
is said, would depend on results of
the world disarmament conference
at Geneva.
The newspaper understood that
the government hoped to give the
British delegation a strong weapon
for pressing naval and army re-
auctions in Europe and save mil
lions of pound sterling.
According to the Daily Herald,
the admiralty is agreeable to the
plan. Ships involved in the sus-
pension were said to be two 1000
and one 5,0O0-ton armored cruiser,
one f1otilla leader, eight destroyers,
four sloops, one gunboat and ~two
auxiliary craft.

The final draft of the report of the
Young plan advisory committee was
expected to be completed today,
leaving practical decisions on Ger
many's capacity to pay reparations,
to an international debts and repa-
rations conference early next year.
The impression of the delegates
appeared to be that Germany still
possesses wealth which may be
modified, although the committee
was not expected 10 attempt an
estimate of the amount available
for reparations.
The Italians, Americans and Jap
anese favored report giving brief
conclusions and letting a govern
mental conference resume the
searching examination of Ger
many's wealth. The British and
French favored a full detailed re-
port, but one absolving the commit
tee from too specific commitments.

WILKES BOOTH
BODY IS FOUND.
DOCTORS THINK
Mummy in Chicago Is That
of LinCoIn'S Assassin,
Tests Indicated.
x-RAY SUPPORTS VIEW
Leg Fracture, Crushed
Hand and Eyebrow Scar
Add Weight to Theory.
By United Press

BY OHted Press
CHICAGO, Dec. ia jury of
prominent physicians drafted today
a verdict adding to the evidence
that John Wilkes Booth, assassin
of President Lincoln, rather than
dying the ignoble death of a cor
nered fugitive, lived for years after,
finally to perish by his own hand.
The verdict, to be announced in
few days, is the result of an, in
vestigation by DR.. Herman M. Bun
desen, Chicago health commission
er; DR.. Edward Miloslavich, noted
Milwaukee pathologist, and other
men of science.
They have examined, in the Of
fees of DR.. Orlando F. Scott, alien
list, the mummif1ed body, owned"
by a Chicago woman, of John st.
Helen, who committed suicide in
Oklahoma in 1903, after twice
"confessing" that he was John
Wilkes Booth.
If that admission is true, then
Booths mummy has been carted
around the country for years as a
sideshow exhibit, and the body of
an innocent man lies in Booths
grave at Baltimore.
SimiIarities are Found
The physicians, however, will not
pass judgment on the mummy'S
identity. but will rest with state
ments of fact adduced through SCI
entiflc means.
Their statements, the United
Press learned today, will include
the following:
The mummy of John st. Helen
has thickening toward the ex-
tremity of the fibula, or small bone,
of the right foot, such as would be
caused by a fracture, and there is
evidence Of a callouS from the same
cause.
The mummy has distorted right
thumb which originated through
some crushing accident, rather than
congenitally.
1t has a right eyebrow higher
than the left, across which there
runs what appears to be scar.
X-Ray Reveals Points
These points of identity were
brought out through X-ray photo
graphs made in the last week and
supplemented by surgery. How they
match Booths physical abnormal
tiles is shown by the following:
When Booth leaped from Presi-
dent LiNcolns box at Ford's theater
in Washington, he fractured his
right leg.
Years before, at the age of 10 or
II, while watching his father on the
stage, Booth tangled his right hand
in windlass, crushing it.
Booths right eyebrow was higher
than the left and an old injury had
left a scar.
DR.. Miloslavich declared today
that he believed the three points of
Identification have proved almost
without doubt" that st. Helen was
Booth.
Doctor Is Enthusiastic
DR.. Milosiavich added that he
was very enthusiastic" over the re-
suits of the investigation. He said
he planned to examine skin from
the back of the mummy's neck,
where Booth was known to have
had an injection.
History records that Booth was
killed by government agents and
troopers in a barn at Bowling
Green, Va, on April 26, 1865.
Many believe, however, that the
real Booth escaped and fed to
Texas. There in 1875, John st.
Helen confessed to Finis L. Bates,
former attorney general of Tennes-
see, that he was Booth.
