Tom Smith and Commissioner Felix Gray and Deputy Marshal William Mar kle. It was taken to Carter's Moriuary where all inquest will be held tomorrow.
 Deputy Markle said there was little doubt out that the man was Phillips. who has not been heard from since few days before Christmas when he came into Ju- neau to get supplies. The boat and other indications pointed to him, Markle said. It is expected that positive identification can be made at the inquest after the body is thawed out of the big ice cake
 The body was first seen by Thomas F. Townsend and Z Gosh garian, trappers of the Lincoln Is- land on Christmas Eve. The mans wrists had been cut, they reported, and his body was hanging over the edge of a small boat. The weather was so bad they could not reach the mainland to report the case, so they put the body in the boat, cov- cred it up with canvass and pulled the. craft up above high water mark. Two weeks later they were able to come to Juneau and make a report. Since then efforts have been made to reach the island, but high seas have prevented until yesterday when a landing was suc- cessfully made,

another victory in the House Of
