MIXED WEAPONS| 1
 FEATURED FIGHT
Man Hit With Chair Given Discharge - Alleged
 AssaiIants Fined

A battle in which a meat cleaver, a chair and a heavy stone were the weapons came up for a decision in city court today. Judge John F. McGrath gave the decision to Joseph Corey, 28, of 124 Savings street, dis charging him on a breach of the peace count, and decided against two colored men, William Ward, 3S, of 86 North Elm street, and Delay Byrd, 29, of S2 North Elm street, fining each of them $10 and costs.
 Corey claimed that the trouble started when Wards son threw papers on the sidewalk he was sweeping and made fun of woman in the store. He shook the boy, he said and chased him home. The next thing he knew, he said, the two colored men were at the door of the store, telling him to come outside.
 Corey said that the pair knocked the woman down, and that he grab- bed the meat cleaver in self-de- fense. When he went to the door to help the woman up, he went on, he was hit with the chair and the stone, and dazed momentarily.
 When the melee ended, all three men were in custody of Patrolman Charles Harris and on their way to the lookup. In court today Judge McGrath said the colored men erred in taking the law into their own hands.
 Ward and Byrd entered appeals to the court of common pleas.

Tuberculosis Death
 Rate In State Lower
Arrival of Improved Economic Conditions Responsible
 for Decline in Mortality

New York, N. Y-The steady im- provement in tuberculosis mortality which for 25 years has been an almost annual feature of the public health record, has apparently re- ceived setback, according to stat isticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. They raise the question whether this setback may not be delayed result of the hard ships of the depression period.
 It is pointed out, however, that the depression period was in a way the most remarkable of any in the campaign against tuberculosis in the United States because the death rate from the disease mot only con- tinued to fall during those years of economic maladjustment but it &C., tually fell at higher ratecmfmfWW tually fell at a faster rate than dur ing the pre-depression years" But with the arrival of improved econ- omic conditions, the statisticians re- mark, it appears that the decline in tuberculosis mortality "has either ceased altogether, or, at best, that it has become negligible" They base

their conclusions upon the 1886 mor- tality records of 40 states which comprise more than 93 per cent of the total population of the country. Of these states, 19 reported higher tuberculosis mortality for 1886 than for 1885, while the same number re- ported declines. The remaining two states showed no change in the death rate.
 The facts for the ten most pop uluoS states show that five regis tered higher and four lower tuber- culosis death rates in 1886 than in 1885, while the other-Missouri- showed no change. In New England, the tuberculosis death rate showed a definite decline in four of the six states-Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont. In the West South Central region, sizable increases in the death rate were re- ported in three of the four states Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

A Gray Wolf Game Up To
 Cabin Door

A gray wolf, which came up 'o within l5 feet of the cabin door and stole a frozen rabbit lyng there, was killed recently at Rainy Pass by o. P. Rees' Star Air Service radio operator, ac- cording to a radio dispatch from Mir. Rees to Anchorage. A few seconds later he killed black wolf which evidently had been prowAing about the cabin with the gray one.
 Reused by the barking of has malamute dog, the radio operator ran out with .22 caliber rifle & sp,ed the black wolf standing in the river flats looking at the dog and cabin. Hastily calculating that he'd need little more ar- tillery for the task, MT. Rees went back for a larger rifle. He came out again and saw the black wolf coming closer.
 Suddenly the operators wife spied gray wolf from the win dow of the cabin, partly hidden by snow bank and only six feet away from the frantI;cally bark ing malamute, which was chain ed and straining to get at the

The following editorial is reprinted firm the Ketchi- kan Alaska Chronicle, which covers the many vexing troubles that newspaper men are confronted With In reference to the promoter of free publicity which is an old story but every and then must be brought to the pubics attention
 "The Ketchkan promoter-be he the head of lodge committee putting dance or be he old timer setting up in business that all the world to him though perhaps isn't such hot potatoes with the rest of us or be he newcomer from the big city who wants to put something the hicks-runs afoul the press.

If its editors think item isn't news there's nothing much you do about except get mad or take an ad
 'The unfortunate thing about those not accustomed to dealing with the press is that they generally choose to get mad The newspaper loses the ad, the promoter loses the publicity, and nobody is very happy.
 But there is consolation for everyone concerned in the fact that press relations of dffcu-and gen. erally nportant-a nature that everyone high and low has his troubles. The difference is that the fellow higher up has experience The American Iron and Steel Institute, the General Motors Corporation the Chrysler corporation and dozens of others have their own public relations departments which keep the news papers supplied with nformation-not excluding even the Chronicle Most of this material never gets into print, but one gets very mad.

Jap Death March

The Japanese troops in northern China may feel like the Children ot Israel, entering the Promised Land. At least their leaders seem to feel so. And they expected an easy job remembering past experiences.
 But it is different now. AS Spencer D. Irwin, an American commentator, writes: "Chiang Kai shek has dispatched his best troop to North China. The Chinese not only will give battle, but by strategic maneuvering they can load the Japanese on death march"
 Is it to be another such experience as Napoleon's army had in Russia, when the crafty Muscovites, unable to face the in- vaders in battle, lured them on into the depths of the country to starve and freeze and be picked off one by one? China, too, b vast, and has swallowed many an array leaving scarcely trace.
