Murder Follows Wreekinq
of Communist Hall
in Aberdeen

ABERDEEN, Wash, Jan. 6.-Less
than a month after her husband had
asked a police guard for his FAM
lily, which was not given, Mrs. Dick
Law, wife of a CLIO union official,
was found slain.
There are no clues to the identity
of the axe slayer who split Mrs.
Laws head open and ransacked the
home of Mrs. Nestor Luoma, with
whom the Law family had been hv-
ing since the recent riot in which
Finnish workers wrecked the Com
munist hall, during dance.
Mrs. Luoma found her daughters
body on the living room floor when
she returned from chatting with a
neighbor at 1O:45 o'clock last night.
The dead woman's husband came
home in a taxi from union meet
ing shortly afterwards.
A coroners inquest failed to de-
termine how long the woman had
been dead.
Law denounced the Finn rioters
and accompanied members of the
Finnish Socialist Society who pre-
sented a claim to the city for dam
ages to the hall incidental to the
riot, contending the authorities knew
of the riot but did nothing to pre-
vent it.

BREAK FOR THE BRITISH

OF course, the British would want
us to broaden the definition of war
like acts to include more things
than actual battles. We would be
asked, for. instance, to keep German
surface or undersea raiders from
molesting British or French mer-
chant ships within the neutrality
zone.
That would be nice order. 1t
would vastly widen the area in which
British merchant ships could oper-
ate in safety before they had to
begin that perilous dash through
the real belligerent zones on the
European side. With that kind OF
guarantee, there might have been
no battle between the Graf Spec and
the British cruisers
Likely, also, the British would ex-
pect us to prohibit resupplying of
German ships within the neutrality
zone.
With those two things assured,
the British navy would have many
fine ships free to patrol the rest
of the Atlantic and the North Sea.
Moreover, there are no grounds up
on which the American nations
could act to prevent British cruisers
from refueling within the neutrality
zone. Jamaica and several other
important little spots are entitled To
shelter and refuel British ships.

TWENTY FISH TRAP
SITES ARE CLOSED
Sixty-Hour Closure Period
Imposed by New
Regulations

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Secre-
tary of the Interior Harold L. IckeS
in the fisheries regulations for
1910, restricts commercial salmon
fishing in Bristol Bay about so
percent of normal, which will mean
heavy loss to West Coast COM
panies, as the salmon run in 1910
enters it's weak year in the five
year life cycle.
Further regulations prohibit COM
mercial herring fishing in South
east Alaska, except gill netting for
bait.
Boats Cut
Regulations regarding fishing in
Bristol Bay give preference to ma
tive and resident Alaskan fisher
men. The legal number of boats
in Bristol Bay has been cut to
780, and, with two men to boat,
the number Of fishermen will be,
1850 There will be only about 800
places for fishermen from contfn-
entail United States, which indi-
Gates that only $50 boats from the
United States will fish. compared
to $40 in 1888, the last year for
which figures are now available.
In 1888 only Az resident boat>
fished in Bristol Bay.
The herring catch is limited to
100000 barrels in the Kodiak area
and to 100000 barrels in Prince
William Sound.
Twenty fish trap sites will be
closed, mostly in Southeast and
some in Central Western areas.
Closed Period Increased
Regulations impose so hours
weekly closed periods on Prince
William Sound salmon canneries
and in the Southeast Alaska area
except Yakutat and Stikine dis
tricts, meaning an additional week
ly closure of twelve hours in Prince
William Sound and twenty-four
hours additional in Southeastern
area
The Secretary's statement says
that the regulations are based on
Bureau of Fisheries recommends
lions after Alaska and Seattle hear
ings, plus Investigations of law en-
forcement and administrative Of
ficers.
1T is the collective Judgment that
these regulations will adequately
protect and conserve fishery re-
sources in Alaska in 1910 unless
there should be extraordinary de-
velopments which cannot be fore
told. The regulations have been
drawn so that notifications will be
unnecessary under normal condi-
tions," the Secretary said.

HEEL SINKI. Jan. 6.-Heavy 1lghI-
ING is reported in the Arctic sector
between the defenders and the m
vaders with the Finnish forces con-
tinuing to press the fleeing Rus
SLAMS far beyond their own borders.
Hundreds of Russians are reported
to have been killed.
It is also said scores of prisoners
have been taken, the Soviets throw
ing their arms into the air, surren-
dering and declaring they are weak
from lack of food to resist further
In the southern sector, several
minor air raids have been attempted
but Finnish filters went into the air
at several points and the Russians
turned and winged quickly away
without dropping any bombs.
Artillery fighting, on small scale,
has taken place on the eastern front.

Great Britain, France Seek
US. Pledge 10 Keep Raiders
0utof West Atlantic Ocean
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. GIVE have
it on reliable authority that the
British and French will be ex-
ceedingly pleased if we will pledge
ourselves to keep German raiders
cut of the western Atlantic. They
will be glad to spend their time
keeping the rest of the Atlantic free
of them.
The same authority assures us
that unless we guarantee that we
will keep the Germans from COM
hitting war-like acts in these wa
tiers. the British will insist on the
right to do it, just as they always
have in past wars with Germany.
That, in a nutshell, is the reply
almost certain to be made by the
British to any blanket proposal OF
the 81 American republics that our
neutrality zone be kept free of such
dramatic sea battles as the one with
the Graf Spec.

Furth er Development Of
Old Carlson Creek
Ore Indicated

Belief that another large mine for
the Juneau district will go into OPP
Grafton on the old Carlson Creek
property gained strength today when
it was revealed that initial pay
ment had been made to claim hold
ers on the option purchase price
this week.
1t is understood Northwest Mines
Syndicate, made up of Seattle and
other capital in the States, holders
of the option, made a five per cent
payment on what is said to be a
100000 purchase price.
Interested in the property, it is
said, are six local residents, Larry
McKechnie, Robert Coughlin, Phil
McKenna, Alice Bach Coughlin, John
Price and Alfred Bonnet.
Last summer, an engineer had
several men at work on the prop
terry, which lies at the head of Carl
son Greek on the opposite side of
Granite Greek Basin. Carlson Greek
enters Taku Inlet few miles west
of Point Cooper.
Making of the initial payment
indicates strongly the prospect will
be developed into mine.
On shutting down work for the
winter last fall with deepening
SHOWS, it was planned to sled in
heavy equipment on spring snow for
further prospecting.
The ore on the property, carried
in a number of large quartz veins,
runs to good constant low gold
values with some silver and asso-
ciated minerals.

Chieftains
Are 10 Meet
National Committee Gets
together on Feb
ruary Fifth

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. Char
man James A. Farley has called a
meeting Of the Democratic National
Committee for February 5 to settle
the much discussed question OF just
when the party should hold It's
nominating convention.
There has been talk in both ma
jor parties of departing from the
usual practice of fixing the conven-
lions for June, with some influen-
tial members of each advocating a
much later date and a short cam
paign.
President Roosevelt for one, has
been represented as believing late
August convention followed by a
whjrlwind two month campaign
would be preferable to the old
practice of campaign dragged
through the summer months and
not attaining full momentum until
fall.
Favored By Hamilton
On the Republican side, the late
convention idea has an advocate IN
the National Chairman, John D. M,
Hamilton. He and others of the
party, moreover, have considered
the possibility of fixing the Repub-
lican convention for date later
than that selected by the Demo-
Gratis.
This would reverse the old order
of things, which III recent years mas
invariably found the Democrats
meeting about week or ten days
after the close of the Republican
convention. Some Republican lead
ers, Hamilton among them, have
felt this yielded an initial advan-
tage to the Democrats, enabling
them to act more effectively for
knowing the identity of the oppos-
ing candidate and the nature OF
his platform.
Acton Postponed
Now that the time of the meet
ing of the Democratic Committee
is known, Hamilton may be expect
ed to issue similar call to the Re-
publican committee. He has frank
ly postponed tbs action so that Re
publicans, when they decide the
convention question, may know the
date of the Democratic party meet
ing.
The Democratic committee also
will select the convention city. Lead
ing contenders are said to include

SOME HELP TO GERMANY

Germany, too, might reap some
benefit from the show, although in
proportion far less than the British
and French. There are now so or
more German freighters stalled in
American ports. They hardly dare

because Of patrolling British cruis-
ers.
With a 300-mile zone of safe water
in which to operate, they could
choose their own time and place
from which to start the frenzied
dash TO home.
