were only about 300 left together in one body.
Crawford was among those missing and Col.
David Williamson, perpetrator of the Gnaden-
thuetten massacre who was second in command,
directed the retreat If poetic justice had been
at work it would have been Williamson who
was missing and Crawford who was to lead the
disorganized remnants of the command back in
safety to Mingo Bottom.
But instead Colonel Crawford, Doctor knight,
the surgeon of the command, and nine others
were captured by the Indians. ALL except Craw-
ford and Knight were killed at once but these
two were taken to Delaware town for torture
Crawford was burned at the stake and Doctor
knight was forced to watch the sufferings of
his friend. Crawford is said to have appealed
in vain to Simon Girty, the white renegade among
the Indians, to end his sufferings by shooting
him, but Girty either could not or would not heed
his plea. Later Doctor Knight managed to escape
and after wandering in the woods for 81 days
reached Fort Pitt in safety.
Encouraged by their success the Indians ap-
peared in large numbers on the Upper Ohio and
fell upon the settlement of Hannastown, Pa,
which they burned and captured or killed 20 Of
its inhabitants. Then the partisan Captains Nc
Kee and Caldwell assembled force Of LOO
Indians, the greatest single body of savages
brought together during the Revolution, for an
attack on Wheeling. But while they were march
ing thither they became alarmed by a report
that George Rogers Clark was leading his Long
Knives" again to attack the Shawnee towns.
So Mckee and Caldwell marched to meet him
but upon reaching the Shawnee towns discov-
cred that the alarm Of those Indians was
groundless, it having originated in the appear
ance of an armed galley-boat at the mouth Of
the Licking river. Most of the Indians showing
characteristic fckleness, declined to go any
farther on the expedition but Caldwell and
Mckee managed to keep together some 300 Wy
andots and Lake Indians and with these and
their Detroit rangers set out to invade Ken
lucky and to attack the five small stockaded
settlements in Fayette county.
On August Is they appeared before Bryans
Station, the northernmost settlement in Fayette
county, which was defended by less than so
men. The story of the brief siege of Bryans
Station is one of the classics of Kentucky his
tory. Included in it is the story of it's heroic
women who took their lives In their hands
to bring pals of refreshing water drawn from

Velvet Is Latest Entry
in Midsummer Fashion

The arrival of velvet as midsum-
mer fashion was one of the surprises
of the recent group of fashion collec-
tions shown by the Paris dressmakers
to foreign buyers and members of the
press. Lightweight velvet, woven in
new textures as fine as other silk ma
terials, was used to make dresses de-
signed to wear even in the warmesf
summer months.
Velvet raincoats were shown by
some houses. Velvet jackets for day
time town wear. long travelling coats
of velveteen and many evening" cos
tunes were among the velvet fashions
introduced during the collections.
The newer velvets are of two vari-
eties-those which are firm and stiff.
and those which are soft and supple
and fall in deep folds. Mirande shows
an evening cape. knee length, made of
the stiff velvet.

 AFTER CATCH RECORD

Although the fishing banks in Boring Sea have been lashed by continuous southwest gales all through July, the Seattle fourmast- ed cod-fishing schooner Christen- son stands an excellent chance of breaking the American record for largest catch.
 This was revealed in radio mes sage received recently by Capt. J. E. Shields, owner of the vessel.
 According to this report, the fish ermen, despite the handicap of heavy seas, have 253, 1000 cod fish or about 800 tons slowed in the hold. With the earlier catch and the July fish,. they are now within seventy-f five tons of the record made by the Wawona of Anacortes which delivered 575 tons at San Francisco in 1915.
 Within a month or possibly more to go, according to the weather, the forty-three members of the crew will beat the Wawona's mark If skill and endurance can do it, Shields says.
 The fleet is small this year, ac- cording to Shields, only the Sophie, the three-master Wawona, com manded by Capt. Charles Foss, be- ing out from Puget Sound and the three maSted Louise and four-mast- ed William H. Smith from S. n Francisco.
 The vessels will return in late

It has not been often that two brothers have represented in part sovereign State in the two Houses of Congress like the case in Alabama where brother William B.

Only few years ago the father of these National legislators from Alabama United States Senator from that State He also John H.

Hitler-A Menace or a Hope?
Cincinnati Enquirer. )


 The precarious economic situation of Germany still is serious threat to the Continent of Europe Aided by the one-year postponement of separations the freezing of short-term credits and govern mental control of foreign exchange, Germany has been able to pile up impressive surplus of exports mports-the basic condition need for stability
 But this export surplus has been more than counterbalanced by the liquidation Of short-term credits involved in those exports. In this fashion Chancellor Bruenings effort to pull his country out of it's financial crisis has been failure. The need for relief is just as great as it was before the moratorium
 Added to this critical situation is the swelling discontent within the Reich symbolized and guided by Adolph Hitler, blatant mentor of the Fascist storm brigades Dscredited two years ago, Hitler came back with powerful delegation in the Reichstag and has added steadily to his strength in every minor election since the general poll. It is clear that he holds the whip hand Chancellor Bruenings Cabinet now, especially since President von Hndenburg is not unfriendly to him.
 Fascism in Germany has been considered men, ace, and rightly It has represented dictatorship instead of democracy, hostility to France rather than conciation and forcible resistance to the yoke of Versailles rather than orderly negotiation for treaty revision
 But this was many months ago Today Hitlers support is merely anti-Jewish, anti-French and anti Communist. He has the backing of many potent industrial and financial leaders. He has disavowed violent methods and seeks power through the ballot. He longer urges war on France to lost territories but points the way to a foreign policy which is legal yet aggressive.
 In a word the sophomorc Hitler is growing up as he seems to near post of authority. Facing the likelihood of responsibility soon he is doing his utmost to establish dgnified and defensibe position This in turn makes it all the more likely that Bruening will invite the Fascists to participate in his government, rather than wait for show down and then have to give up power completely to them.
 Fascism, with it's technic of emotionalism and dictatorship still is menace in Germany or any other great industrial nation. But Fascism in the Reich under Adolph Hitler is daily less menacing because it is coming closer to the real interests of Germany.

LAME DUCK GOVERNOR HAWKED THE
 SENATORSHIP.

It is said that Gov. Larson Of New Jersey offered the appointment as Senator to succeed the late Senator Morrow to others who refused it before he induced w. Warren Barbour, former amateur heavyweight boxing champion to take the place. He had picked Barbour for the position of State Boxing Commissioner. At least one person to refuse the Senatorshp from Gov. Larson was Thomas N. McCarter, name that for several gen. erations has been connected with Princeton. An appointment from a repudated State Administration to miserpresent the New Jersey majority in the United States Senate would not have much of an appeal to McCarter.
 Lame duck control has never been popular.

WHAT NEXT?

Senator Norris of Nebraska has spon- sored a bill introduced in the Senate this
 week which apparently would do away with
 the Fousth Judicial Division entirely, leav-
 ing only three divisions in Alaska. The bill
 was introduced at the instigation of the
 Department of Justice, which, it is under
 stood has long felt that district could
 handle all the necessary work for both
 the Nome and Fairbanks districts.
 There is much to be said for and against
 the plan, doubtless. However. if it actually
 does away with one Division it will serve to
 stifle the cry for reapportionment in the
 Alaska Legislature. AS far as could be
 learned in Kstchikan the intro
 duced would have this effect by revising
 the boundaries of the northern Judicial Divi-
 sions. However, apparently no change, was
 contemplated in the boundaries of the First
 and Third-or coastal-Divisions.
 As result, the Territorial Senate and
 House would be reduced in numbers, but
 a better balance of power would be given
 to the representatives of the two Divisions
 which pay the greater share of the taxes
 Inasmuch as any reapportionment on the
 basis of population would likely leave two
 Senators from each Division, thereby giving
 the northern Divisions good check for
 trading bills as ever, the new arrangement
 would to be more perfect. It would
 give the populous and heavier tax
 paying Divisions preponderance of represen-
 taton in both houses. which is only fair
 (Ketchikan Chroniele1
 Evidently the Ketehikan Chronicle is laboring under misconception of the terms of the Norris Bill The measure according to the Associated Press report does not propose to abolish either the Fourth or the Second Division. It does not even unite them It simply proposes that the two Divisions shall have but Judge one Clerk ei the Court one United States Attorney and one United States Marshal between them. The two Divisions would remain but with only one set of court officials The Legislative apportionment would not be affected at all.
 This situation does not accentuate, however the of the Judicial Divisions for anything except judicial purposes The Legislative apportion- ment ought to through Legislative Districts form ed with reference to population and geographic rontiguity but without reference to the Judicial Divisions
 In order to get adequate distribution of Legisla- tive members, The Empire believes that Alaska ought to nave no less than twelve Senators and twenty four Representatives such as obtained in the Wash ngfon and other Territorial Legislatures. That would permit the establishment of twelve Legislative districts, each to have Senator and two Rep-
