fifty years ago primarily for the purpose of furnishing first aid on the field of battle, its activities have grown until today it not only fur nishes the nurses for the battle fields, but for the hospitals which care for ex-soldiers and seamen. In addition to that where any particu- lar section of the country or any particular country is afflicted with an unusual storm, an unusual pes tilence, drought or any other ma jor calamity, the Red Cross is first in the field to afford relief.

J0RGEN BERG TO ENTER
 ;. SALMON CANNING FIELD

J. E. Berg of the Marlyn Fish Company has just concluded & cash deal for the floating cannery Pio- neer, formerly owned by the Stuart Packing Corporation, says the Ket- chikan Chonicle. He will build a wharf and warehouse in Ketchikan and figures on putting up a pack of 10000 cases of salmon the com ing season.
 The Pioneer, at the present time lat Pennock island, is fully equipped with machinery for a one-line can nery. MT. Berg will spend several thousand dollars in preparing the Pioneer for the canning season: He will continue his policy of hiring only local labor, he said. and plans to have at least 15O men on his payroll next season.
 T am confident" said MT. Berg, that conditions in Ketchikan will be better next year. The future for the fish business at the present time looks good. There is good evil dence at hand to indicate that the frozen halibut and the salmon pack will be pretty well cleaned up before the new season starts. Canned salmon market is in a healthy con- dition.
 There are several other signs favorable to the continued growth and importance of Ketchikan as Q fishing center which I am not at liberty to announce at the present time. As far as I am concerned, Ketchikan never looked better than ming for future business

KATHERINE KAT0 IS CAUSE
 JUNEAU SHOOTING SCRAPE

JUNEAU-Nov. 18- Walter Lof- gren, a cook, was shot and possibly fatally wounded early today on Willoughby Avenue by Nick Giatros who used a .32 caliber revolver, af- ter the latter is said to have found Lofgren invading his home. Giatros is being held in the Federal jail on an open charge. He was arrested at his house on Willoughby opposite the Cole barn, shortly after the shooting. His wife, bride of two weeks, the former Katherine Kato of Wrangell, is also being detained.
 Giatros a miner employed by the Alaska Juneau, told officers, it was said, that he returned home, No. 8 Willoughby Avenue, from work about o'clock this morning. He entered the house and found Lof- gren there with his wife. Partly clad, Lofgren fled by the rear door. Giatros grabbed a revolver and ran out the front door, dropping cart ridge belt as he ran, and headed off Lofgren as he apparently was at- tempting to escape. He shot him twice, inflicting wounds in the arm and chest.
 Lofgren fell to the boarding and Giatros went back into the house. Lofgren managed to get to his feet and worked his way across Will loughby Avenue to the Cole barn,

F. A. Cooper, until recently d deputy game warden under the AL aska Game Commission, is in re- ceipt of a letter from John M. Holz- worth, president of the National Association of Wild Life ConserYa- tionists, Inc, asking for more infor- nation regarding the charges made by MT. Cooper against certain Game Commission and Biological Survey officials. MT. Holzworth wishes to use MT. Cooper's testimony in his fight to have Admiralty Island set aside as bear sanctuary.
 An article which appeared in the Petersburg Alaskan of Sept. g, re- porting an interview with MT. Coop CT, who was one of the guides for the Schilling party of San Fran cisco which had one of the Camp bell Church yachts under charter late last summer, caused much in- dignation and brought vehement denial from the officials. The arti- cle follows:
 ''F. A. Cooper of Wrangell, li- censed guide, returned this week from Admiralty where he was one of three guides out with seven hunting parties. He reports plenty of grizzly bear in the bays they hunted but also several members of the U. S. Biological Survey who are supposed to be taking a cen sus of the bear. Evidence of pro- miscuous shooting was found by the guides-bear killed within a couple days and shooting of mig ratory game birds two days be- fore the season opened-all in- terfered with the hunting of the party. The game were too wild to make good shooting. Under the law the guides are compelled to report all violations of the game laws and it is expected that the three guides will make individ- ual reports in the matter and it is also believed that the Biologi
 cal Survey men-including Frank DuFresne-are above the law"

 things have happened at conven- tions. particularly democratic con- ventions.
 The handsome governor of Mary. land, undoubtedly the ladies choice Is the talk today. Governor Ritchit has lots of friends among the dele- gates. He Is the genial, friendly sort of person, with an excellent record as director of state affairs who makes very suitable com promise in event of a deadlock. He has no enemies, has involved him. self in no factional rows here--a person who would satisfy the vari- ous leaders oin g deadlock.
 Perhaps with more solid strength Is q man who didn't even come to the convention-Newton D. Baker former secretary of war. He has second choice" strength in numer- ous Roosevelt delegations. He has q very good strategic position.
 Watch Baker" was the word to- day among the political tipsters.
 Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York still has the lions share of delegates. But democrats give the nomination, as do the renubli- cans, to the man with 6 majority. He must have two-thirds.
 The anti-group only has to hold 385 to check a candidate.
 Hope springs eternal---even for the candidate with only Q handful of votes - for history tells q true story. Woodrow Wilson, the first democratic president since Grover Cleveland and the second demo crat since pre.Civil war days to occupy the White House, emerged from a deadlock in the 1912 Baltimore convention. Speaker of the Hohst Champ Clark had a majority when that convention opened, just at Roosevelt has now.
 Every senator has carried presidential acceptance speech ii his pocket since Warren c. Hardin, walked out of the famous "smoke filled" room in this city to bccom, president of the United States victor after . deadlock.
 Political strategy is devious an, not often obvious to tho laymar,.
 For instance, the strategy nov being talked is to advance Ritchi first, give him what Is called (, run," and then, when the opposi ton Is well crystallized to "tro out" Baker. If Baker can no make the grade, the opposition leaders will turn to someone else.

BRYAN. IR.

Written for the United Prcss)
 Convention Headquarters. Chi- cago, III, June 2S-(UP)--Democ- racy is again in labor and In due time will bring forth another son to be a leader of the people and a ruler over men.
 Curious as are the procedures of this purely American institution, l still find it, after more than 30 years of intimate contact, tho most fascinating and exciting spectacle civil life can present.
 The perfunctory proceedings of tho opening session were overshe d. owed by events outside of the convention hall.
 It was only when Senator Bark ley made his demand for uncondi- tional repeal that the delegates had an opportunity to exercise their lungs. Had Q vote of the del- egates been taken out and out re- peal would have had majority. However, am giving odds that the plank that the platform com- mittee presents will be something of compromise. Few politicians have the courage of their convic- tions.
 Notwithstanding vern o r Roosevelt's telegram to his .. sup porters to cease their efforts to ab- rogate the two.thirds rule, the bat tie was hot and heavy in the conn mittee on rules. Richard 8. Met calf of Nebraska introduced q res- olution that the two-thirds vote of the convention be required to i1op1- mate the candidate until after the sixth ballot. at which time the con- vention might by majority vote, change the rule and nominate their candidates by a majority vote. This met with the solid opposition of the favorite son states but was eventually adopted.
 This two-thirds rule seems to be the work upon which democracy s hope for victory is most apt to crash. To have forced the abroga- tion of the rule would have en- gendered bitter feeling. But to my mind not nearly as much as the embittered struggle of a dead. locked convention. verno r Roosevelt's action should not be

also tended to work in favor of { compromise.

Chicago, June 28-UP)-Rival democratic forces lined up to defy Governor Roosevelt in his drive for the presidential nomination to- day, vowing to beat 0 compromise two-thirds vNte rule and another rule change that would place nominations ahead of the platform debate on the convention program.
 AS result of the bitter fight in prospect over these latest moves of the Roosevelt forces in command here, compromise presidential pos- abilities were attracting more and more attention-chiefy Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland and Newton D. Baker of Ohio.
 But Roosevelt still was far ahead, needing only 100 more delegates to win under the two-thirds rule. Whether he can get them is a question, and the question caused his friends to attempt the short cut" to the nomination.
 The Roosevelt campaigners pro- pose that the convention, if dead locked after six ballots, vote to decide whether 1t shall make a nomination by & simple majority. That decision, to be made to-day, may determine whether this con- vention is to be short or long.
 Excitement was dashed to high pitch by the prospect of day of neavy fighting.
 What normally are routine par liamentary preliminaries became surcharged with the feverish in- tensity of the bitter fight of Alfred F.. Smith and several favorite son candidates to stop Roosevelt.
 A United Press poll showed a sharp trend for platform fiatly repeal instead of submission-two over a majority.
 Smith won a partial victory in the New York delegation caucus which voted e to 26 1-2 against the Roosevelt choice for the per- manent chairmanship of the con- vention.
 However, despite this adverse showing, there were persistent re- ports Tammany was preparing to climb aboard the Roosevelt band wagon within the next twenty-four hours. These reports alleged that John F. Curry. leader of Tammany Hall, had come to the conclusion that while he was not enthusiastic about Roosevelt, there was no other course open except to sup port him.
 It was represented that he per sonally favored Ritchie or Newton D. Baker, but felt he should not support an outside candidate. His hostility to Smith is deep.

! Traylor of Illinois emerged into the open to-day with announcement that he is to be placed in nomina- ton by Michael Igoe, regarded as friendly to Roosevelt. Reports were current that discussions were afoot to swing Illinois in behind Roosevelt after a few ballots with Traylor possibly the vice-presiden- tial candidate. Traylor however, has denied alphabetically that he is interested in the vice-presidency. Issues confronting the conyen- ton to-day were these:
 1. Whether Senator Thomas J.. Walsh, the Roosevelt candidate, or Jouett Shouse, the Smith candidate. man of the convention.
 2. Whether the convention should accept the Roosevelt plan of the rules committee by which the convention could, by majority vote, suspend the two- thirds rule if there was no nomina- tion after six ballots.
 3. Whether the traditional or der of business should be reversed and the presidential and vice. presidential nominees be selected before the platform is adopted.
 4. Whether the pro-R Roosevelt delegation from Louisiana headed by Senator Hucy Long shall be seated.
 This heavy schedule of trouble, threatened to turn the convention into Donnybrook fair. Round by round fighting was in prospect from the first whack of the gayel at noon.
 Smith planned to take the floor for Jouett Shouse. Roosevelt has ordered his forces to go down the line for Walsh. The Shouse fight served as the vehicle for what amounted to an attack on the per- sonal integrity of Governor Roose. welt who, 1t is alleged, consented be given the permanent chairman. ship if Roosevelt was allowed to name his own man for convention keynoter. Now Smith and his al- lies are openly charging Roosevelt with double crossing" Shouse.
 The roll-call on this fight was re- garded as the first convention test of Roosevelt strength. However, Roosevelt expected to lose some delegates on this test who arc counted upon to vote for him on the nominating ballot.
 The rules committee fight found delegates in a chaotic situation. Anti Roosevelt forces were mobii- ized against any tampering with the century old two-thirds rule. Roosevelt called upon his manager here James A. Farley mt to nress for any change on the first ballot. But he did express the hope that a rule would be adopted which would prevent a deadlock.
 Some Roosevelt friends took a cue from the message. They damned through the rules commit. tee a recommendation that the con- vention. if 1t failed to nominate on six ballots under the thirds rule, consider whether it should then switch to a simple majority rule.
