POISON MUSSELS CAUSE DEATH OF YER NE NELSON
Members of Fishing Party All Stricken After Eat
 ing Broiled Mussels

As the result of eating mussels from the beach near Hilda Creek, on Douglas Island, Verne Nelson died yesterday afternoon while be- ing brought to town on q gasboat, on which he and his wife, mother, Mrs. Gus Nelson and his brother Art, had gone fishing earlier in the day. Art is still ill at St. Ann's Hospital and Mrs. Gus Nel- son and Mrs Verne Nelson only left the hospital this morning, though not entirely recovered.
 The party had left Juneau early in the morning for Hilda Creek, on a fishing expedition, and after catching a good string of trout ate breakfast of ham. eggs and coffee prepared by their mother. After the breakfast, they broiled some mussels collected on the beach and a favorite dish of both Verne and Art. Both Verne and Art Nelson ate quantities of the mussels of which both had always been fond but nei ther their mother nor Mrs. Vern Nelson ate more than three or four, according to the former. No immediate ill effects were felt, and as the tide had ygonc out, leaving the boat dry on the beach, all decided to nap for a little while before starting out for some strip fishing.
 Discover Numbness
 Mrs. Gus Nelson was the first to wake and noticed numbness about her mouth and when Art woke few moments later, he re- marked about the same thing and when he rose to his feet, could hardly stand and had little control over his limbs. Both then be- came alarmed and reused the others. Art and Verne were most seriously affected and could barely stagger to the boat. which was floating by this time. Art. however,

DEPLORES TROOPS

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 16.-The use of troops in the strike at San Francisco was branded last Saturday afternoon by Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, MIRA Administrator, as poor policy. Gen. Johnson is on a speaking tour of the West by plane and stopped here enroute from Cheyenne to Portland, Oregon.
 When you get an amateur soldier and put gun in his hands, he wonders what to do with it.. Probably he shoots somebody. The strike situation in San Francisco once was that close to being set- tied" Gen. Johnson said, as he held his thumb and forefinger a fraction of an inch apart.
 Advised of the strike develop ments in San Francisco, Gen. Johnson said: MIRA has nothing more to do with strikes, thank God"
 Gen. Johnson expressed the con- viction that MIRA or a modifica- ton of it will become a fixture in American industrial life.

 Brooks had made several com- fortable fortunes during his color ful career. He came back to go over the old trail between Skag- way and Lake Bennett, recalling old scenes and days long gone.

JOHNSON MAKES E MP HATIC PLEA FOR STRIKE END
Attributes Longshore Strike to Lack of MIRA Code--
 On Speaking Tour

PORTLAND, July 16-A serious and emphatic plea for the settle ment of the longshoremen's strike was made here Sunday by Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, MIRA Admin istrator, in an address to the Pacific Coast Advertising Mems Convention.
 Why this situation should last "A hours longer is beyond my comprehension" Johnson said, after declaring that the parties involved should sit down at table and thresh things out.
 Necessary Evils
 Gen. Johnson said that strikes, like wars, were necessary evil, but like wars, never got anything for anybody unless it was blood shed and black eyes,"
 He attributed the prolonged strike to the fact that the shipping in- dustry has no MIRA code, adding. Hence labor does not have the benefit of Section "A" This sec- ton guarantees the right of work ing men to organize, and insures the right of collective bargaining.
 Gen. Johnson flew here from Salt Lake City, and intends to go to San Francisco next, but is un- decided on how soon. He is on a speaking tour of the West in the interstS of the MIRA.

HIGH DESPITE
SELLING
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. "a UN.S0.
The stock market was stimulated
into a new advance today by the
Treasury's billion dollar issue. the
first of the huge recovery H.
nancing program.
Heavy buying came into the
list from the opening, and despite
tremendous profit-taking the mar
ket continued to display an up
ward trend. Gains ran to a point
and more with rails and in
dustrials setting the pace.
A number of issues went to
new highs for 1933-34, including
General Motors, while many
others sold at the highest prices
since last summer. The in
dustrials at their peaks were
within 3 points Of the July highs,
which eliminated the initiation
boom last year.
Leading stocks we're in per-
siStent demand. The orthodox
manner of the Treasury's financ-
ing was a reassuring element.
Utilities were higher despite the
decline in the weeks power fig
ureS. Aviation stocks were given
another whirl in anticipation of
Government orders. Heavy buy
ing in General Electric and West
inghouse sent these issues to new
highs on the move.
Chrysler came to life after its
recent sluggiShneSs, and advanced
briskly in heavy dealings. Johns
Manville went to new high, stim-
ulating the building group. Oils
were firmer. Chemicals and farm
stocks did little. Merchandising
shares continued in demand.
Trading tapered off around the
noon hour as stocks ran into fur
ther profit taking, but the list
held around the highs.

IA
NEW YORK, Jan. "a GNS0,
Wall Street fell into one of its
frisky moods, and gave the
market another whirl yesterday.
The way stocks were going at
the close suggests a pre.welcome
to the first of the Government
financing. Market regulation by
Congress continues to create an
undercurrent of uneasiness. though
the street is hopeful that moth.
ing drastic will develop.
The bulge in the motors looked
like a celebration of the fact
production is getting into full
swing.
Commission houses have been
steady sellers on balance. This
is sign that the public hasn't
been doing any loading up.
Southern Pacific has been show.
ing some of its old-time form. A
third of that Freeport Texas
preferred stock issue, brought out
about a year ago, has been con-
verted already.
BoStonianS have put a lot Of
money into the Armour g. Com
pany issues.
This shows the influence Of
Frederick H. Prince in the ilub.
Gasoline prices are Strengthening
as a result of the marketing
agreement approved by Secretary
Ickes. Lehigh Valleys traffic is
on the uptrend. The street in
the last few days has heard Of

So far it hasn't been anything I
to cheer about.
Commodity traders are moro
bullish on wheat than in some
time.
Merchandising and chain store
stocks are gaining in favor. U.
