WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-J. Ed gar Hoover, head of the Department of Justice enforcement unit, an- nounced today the G-men had ar rested Edward Flish, who Hoover described as the former associate of William Mahan, Weyerheuser kid naper.

CORDOvA HIT
 BY HIGH WIND;
 S.S. MAN HURT
First Officer of Steam e r Northwestern Knock
 ed Unconscious

CORDOVA, Alaska, Oct. 23. - First Officer Albert Meyer, of the steamer Northwestern, was painfully but not seriously injured Thursday when strong wind picked up a gangplank on which he was walk ing and turned it completely over, hurling him against the guard rail and knocking him unconscious in which condition he remained for more than one hour.
 The wind, accompanied by regu- lar downpour of rain, reached ve- locity of 36 miles per hour.
 While the wind was hitting it up at Cordova there was a downpour for fair yesterday. The rain fell to the measured depth, according to weather bureau figures, of 8.7S inches during the 24-hour period with 5.56 inches splashing down from 4 a. m. yesterday to p. m. in the afternoon. This is the heavi- est rainfall in October ever record ed. There have been heavier rain falls, for instance one in August 1927, which was 10.44 inches, sort of flood.

STORK DERBY
 IS TO FINISH
 OCTOBER 31ST
Red-haired Mother in Race with Others for Big
 Money Prize

TORONTO, Oct. 23.-Red haired Mrs. Pauline Clarke doesn't care whether she receives the stork der by fortune left by Charles Miller in his ironic will that bequeathed brewery stock to prohibitionists and Jockey Club shares to horse race haters.
 T am mother because I want ed to be-" said Mrs. Clarke, review ing the claims to the prize Miller allotted for the Toronto mother bearing the most children in ten years following his death in 1926.
 Mrs. Clarke's position perhaps is the most difficult of all Five of her ten children were born in the five years since her husband left her. The children, although fath- erless in the eyes of the law, are all properly registered. The extra legal circumstances of their birth. however, does not decrease their values as proper entries in the der by.
 There is no other Toronto moth- CT, except Mrs. Lily Kenny, who claims twelve born, two has more babies than Mrs. Clarke, in the last ten years.
 Should Mrs. Kenny fail to prove her claim, Mrs. Clarke stands an equal chance with two other moth- CTS of ten and with a third who expects her tenth baby before Oc- tober 31, the zero hour.
 Mrs. Clarke is only "A and talks candidly. When her husband left her, she fell in love with another man and began life with him and expected to marry him as soon as she was free, but her husband will not divorce her.
 More babies came to Mrs. Clarke and one now wonders what Miller, who could spend half million on a joke for ghost to chuckle over, would say to that.

Although commission CTS throughout the country report increased activity which may break into four figure dollars any day
 Patient bettor entrepreneurs wish some one would put up or shut up for the Landon forces" the maga- zine continues, but Republican money is being cagey; why cover anything at to 1 they ask, when, in few weeks, odds may be forced up to to 1 and everyone can go on "a spree"
 The Digest reports the following odds in its October IT issue: Wash ington, D.

MuzzIe-L0aderS
 Vie Today in
 Ohio Matches
Guns of Early Days Will Be Used in National Shoot
 at Risin g Sun

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, Oct. B. The tall muzzle-loading rifles which helped win the West" are booming again in the Ohio Valley but targets instead of marauding Indians or game for scanty pioneer larders are marks for their heavy lead balls.
 Training for the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Associations annual matches at Rising Sun, 35 miles from Cincinnati, more than a hun dred cap-and-ball gun fans have been polishing and priming old weapons which for decades hung silently above mantels or rested in dark closets.
 The revival of interest in shoot ing the guns which grandfathers and great-grandfathers of present residents carried into the Ohio Val ley, said E. M. Farris, Portsmouth, Secretary of the Association, has been so rapid and widespread that late entrants have had trouble To- eating suitable rifles.
 Most of the muzzle-loaders in good condition have been snatched up by the converts to the sport, 7 Farris said. Now old time gum smiths are being called upon to remodel and repair less desirable arms of the Civil War period for use in the matches"
 The National Associations matches at Rising Sun will be held from October g to 25 inclusive, with at least IA events scheduled for devotees of black powder shooting.
 Gun cranks from more than a dozen states, many from the hill country of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Southern Ohio where Ken lucky" rifles first became famous for their deadly accurary have en- tered the matches.
 Events will be fired at ranges of 60 to 220 yards, Farris said, and there will be special matches for ancient flintlock guns, and for cap and ball hand guns.
 Owners of modern guns who laugh at tales of straight-shooting with muzzle- loading arms might in- spect the marksmanship of Walter Grote. Canton, one of the asso- ciation's many fine shots with the old weapons, Farris said.
 "Grote has no trouble placing five consecutive shots in a two inch bulls eye at 100 yards with his Broadway rifle" he said.
 Talking a gun language of their own filled with terms popular when pioneer settlers of the Middle West gathered for turkey shoots or to defend their homes and towns against Indian attacks, the associa- tion marksmen will start today in the little Indiana village for their annual matches.
 Many, Farris said, travele d great distances to match with other gun cranks their skill in shooting the old-time rifles. One man from Norway, Franz Rosenberg. has made the trip to America to fire two ty- pical Yankee muzzle loading rifles against the best American marks men.

ED DELANEY, WIDELY KNOWN
 VETERAN, DIES
Merchandising Broker and Popular Legionnaire
 Passes After Operation

Edward c. Delaney, 51, widely known Alaska merchandising broker, died at 3:55 this morning in St. Anns Hospital following an operation for stomach ulcers. He had been in the hospital since October II, but ef- forts to build up his strength had been unavailing and it was fin ally decided to operate in a final effort to save his life, as it was impossible for him to take suffici- ent food. The operation was per- formed at o'clock yesterday after noon and he succumbed this morn ing.
 Delaney, one of the most popular salesmen to come to Alaska, had been in poor health for years, virtu- ally since the World War when he was badly wounded. He had under gone many operations for the re- moval of shrapnel which he had re- ceived in first line engagements dur ing the war. This last spring he was in the Lettermen General Hospital in San Francisco for eight weeks while surgeons removed a piece of shrapnel from near his heart. He still carried another piece so near his heart it could not be removed.
 Enviable War Record
 Delaney had an enviable war ser- vice record. Born in France, he came to this country only to be orphaned at the age of eight years and had to make his own way in the world since. He became naturalized citi- zen and had gone to French Moroc- co just before the war as carto- grapher for mapping company. As France entered the war he joined the French Foreign Legion and served in Algiers. being many times wounded. When America entered the conflict, Delaney transferred to the American forces and served for the duration of the war with the American troops, taking part in sev- eral of the major engagements.
 Back in this country after the war, the veteran engaged in various commercial pursuits and for the last seven or eight years had covered Alaska for commercial houses in the States. Among them were Garter, Rice and Company, paper house, Puget Sound News, Conklin Pen Company and Sunset Mckee Sales book Company. He also represented the J. B. Burford Company of Ju- neau throughout the Territory.
 Wife Former Juneau Girl
 Mrs Delaney, who lives in San was the former Janet Johnson of Juneau, who was con- nected with the U. s. Forest Serv- ice office here in 1884 and early 1885 prior to the couples marriage. The couple made their home in the California city though Ed as he was known to hundreds, spent sev- eral months of each year in the Territory.
 Delaney was member of the Val dez Post of the American Legion and at the last Department Con- vention here in Juneau represented that Post and was elected alternate Executive Committeeman from Alaska. He had long been an active member of the Legion and had scores of friends not only in the Legion but throughout the north.
 The body is at the c. w. Carter Mortuary pending word from his widow as to funeral arrangements.

LoFTUS GIVEN ORDERS

LOFTUS GIVEN ORDERS
 Dr. Loftus will leave Juneau on the first available transportation to Matanuska, either on the PAA Electra, scheduled to leave here to- morrow, or the Sikorsky amphibian, due through Juneau on it's way from Seattle to Anchorage within a few days. If he takes the PAA plane, he will leave Fairbanks immediate ly by the Alaska Railroad for Mat anuska.
 Tt is difficult to diagnose the ail- ment which the hogs died until get there," Dr. Loftus said. "The symptoms reported indicate that they might have died from any one of four or five infectious diseases of hogs.
 So far, twenty hogs are reported to have died on the M D. Snodgrass farm. Snodgrass is not colonist, but an oldtimer in that country, formerly director of the Experiment Station at Fairbanks but now a farmer in the Matanuska Valley"
 The infection should run course of about ten days or two weeks, and then peter out" Dr. Loftus said, and added that the epidemic should be nothing to be alarmed about.
 Ross L. Sheeley, manager of the Matanuska project. has wired Se- attle for 600 doses of serum to be taken north by Pilot Don Glass when he returns to Anchorage on his Sikorsky plane, now in Seattle according to Dr. Loftus.
 To aid him in his diagnosis of the hog ailment, Dr. Loftus has asked that some of the hogs that have died be kept in cold storage until his arrival at Matanuska.
 pr. w. w. Council, Territorial Health Commissioner, replied to the telegram received yesterday from Walter E. Huntly of Palmer with the information that the Deputy Health Commissioner there would have no power to quarantine pos sibly infected hogs, and informed him that Dr. Loftus, as represen- tative of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry, who would arrive there soon, would have power to quarantine or kill animals infected, should it be necessary.
