TUNA REPORTED
CAUGHT, JITkA
HdIibufers Planning TO
Troll 10 and from Banks
Across Gulf of Alaska

The startling claim that tuna
fish was caught off shore near
Sitka. has been causing consider
able comment among salmon troll
lers.
The report, sworn to be authentic,
but which could not be thoroughly
verified, was that few days ago,
deep sea troller, fishing the sal
mon banks approximately 200 miles
off shore, took a 40-pound tuna of
the albacore variety-the finest of
the tuna family, pure white in meat,
and bringing good prices to fisher
men.
AS a result of frequent reports
that tuna have been seen or caught
in more northerly waters than ever
before, Area Three halibut schoon-
ers, among them Magnus Hansen of
Juneau, with the Explorer, are now
planning to troll across the Gulf of
Alaska on their way to and from
the halibut banks.
Tuna have been ranging more
northerly every year, records show
with the major centers of tuna
packing auguring well to be in
Washington and Oregon instead of
California, and the report that tuna
have been taken in Alaskan waters
is not beyond reason.

CONVICT HERO
IS SOUGHT ON
CHECK CHARGE
Richard Harrison Is Also
Wanted for Skipping
with $1,000 Cash

AUBURN, Cal, July 8.-The con-
yict hero of the 1887 break at Fol
som prison. Richard Harrison, is
being sought on a bad check
charge. 1t was the same trouble
that originally sent him to the big
house. The owner of a 1,400-acre
ranch which Harrison managed,
H. B. Written, told authorities that
the ex-convict vanished with about
1900 in cash. The money was the
ranch payroll. Instead of cash, the
owner said, Harrison paid the men
off with worthless checks.
Harrison gave the alarm when a
group of convicts broke out of the
prison on September 10, 1887. Later
Harrison appeared as a state wit
ness at the murder trial of the re-
captured convicts. Harrison was
paroled from his third bad check
sentence in December, 1888 A pub
lie appeal for a chance to go
straight got the job as manager
of the ranch.

WASHINGTON, July g. - Every
once in a while a wrathy Congress
cracks down on one of those pleasant
ways of making money in this
racket-gorged city and SO 1t did to
the profitable business of peddling
lists of big salary names.
After all, Barnum made good
living for a long time exploiting
suckers. He played for the low
priced variety with his dime-a-
throw sideshows. In Washington
the best me/ey is to be had from
Weather contributors, although a
long list Of dollar-a-year contribu-
tors is not to be shifted at.
The latest racket 10 be knocked
off was the distribution of lists of
people earning high salaries in in
dustry. In a way, the present adj
ministration was responsible for
the evil. Three years ago, in an
energetic hunt for tax dodgers and
in an effort to show that big money
continued to go to executive help
while labor was being exploited or
something, there was enacted a
law requiring publication Of names
of people with salaries of SIS 900
year or more.

Senator Danaher, of Connecti-

and without much opposition at

exempted newspapers. which was
safe enough bet of course, as they

COUNCIL DEFERS
ACTION ON PLAN
TO CHANGE TIME
Union 10 Be Heard Anti
SCOT Ordinance 10 Be
Prepared Here

Action on a request that Juneau
turn its clocks permanently to Sc
. attic time was deferred by the City
Council last night until miners Of
CLIO Union No. 203. who are re-
ported to be opposed to the plan.
have an opportunity to explain
their reasons.
Curtis Shattuck, who presented
to the Council the Chamber of
Commerce recommendation that the
change be made, said the miners,
who had no representative present
at last nights meeting, slluld be
heard. He said. however, that he
had been discussing the plan for
several years and had found al
most nobody against it,
Frank Metcalf, original prepayment
of the change, said he believed
that when the miners understood
the plan they would not oppose it
as !e couldn't see where 1t would
make a particle OF difference to the
union and 1t would be of marvel-
Gus benefit TO the rest of u.s."
Same Time Zone
Metcalf said Juneau Is IL degrees
of longitude west of Seattle in
stead of IS, which measures an
hour, so we are really In the same
time zone as the Puget Sound city.
Ketchikan, which is only eight min
utes east Of here in sun time, has
found Pacific time to be of benefit
and not hardship. he said. The
point is degrees west of Seattle
at which the time zone should
change one hour, Metcalf said, lies
between Cape Spencer and Lituya
Bay, convenient place for ships
to turn their clocks back as vessels
in the Southeast Alaska service
would then all be on the same time
system and change would be made
only by those heading across the
Gulf.
No one spoke in opposition to the
plan last night.
War On SCOT
City Attorney Grover C. VIM
was instructed by the Council to
draw up an anti-soot ordinance to
compel owners of smoking furnaces
to have them repaired Mayor Harry
I. Lucas said the SCOT problem is
becoming serious here and that in
the past month his personal ex-
perience with 1t has been that smok-
ing chimneys next door to the As
sembly Apartments, of which he is
manager. have caused him to lose
two tenants and to have to do
$500 worth OF cleaning on the apart
ments.
A good burner, properly installed,
will not smoke or SCOT up, 1t was
claimed at the meeting. r. e.

preached the proposal that some-
thing be done about the city's sooty
atmosphere several weeks ago at a

The likelihood that at least two
