The article In the paper did
not mention the fact that Mr..
Erwin Jones had a family. He
had a wife and was the father of
five children, two to eleven years
of age. all of whom he was sup

Mrs. Jones and the children

thought the police were a bunch
of drunken white men, and had
no idea they were police until
after the shooting. when some one
turned on the radio in the
prowl car.
Mr.. Jones was shot in the back |
while standing in a well lighted
room, and from a distance of less
than twelve feet, with a shot gun.

testify at a Coroner's inquest, in |
open hearing, on behalf of her
husband, along with others who |
have information pertinent in this |
case, that so far has not been |
made public.
To help Mrs. Jones, and her

Cannery Getting Ready For Season

Publication of notice ot the dissolution of the Frank McCon- aghy, Inc., operators of a local cannery, in the Mirror, has led to local confusion as to effects of the step.
 MT. McConaghy, in wire re- ceived Saturday by A. A. Sumer- lin. local cannery caretaker, says:
 "Please advise our fishermen and cannery workers, also others interested, that the McConaghy company disincorporation will not interfere with cannery oper- ation. Now planning additional tender and other equipment for Kodiak and spring work on gear, boats, and cannery to start soon."
 The published notice indicates a probable change in the finan- cial set-up of the cannery and not, as many locally supposed, a discontinuance of the company.

ATTACK AGAINST JAP
COMMUNICATIONS LINES

New York-Soundphoto - No hit
and run attacks are defiant and I'M
challenged assaults of U. S. and Brit
ish warships as they turn their big
guns loose on coast of Japan. In adj
dition TO gesture OF contempt tor both
enemy naval and air power, and the
incidental propaganda value, it de-
velops that this is part of a campaign
to knock out rail lines that rim shores
of enemy homeland, as the map indl-
Gates. Such attacks, from the sea, can
be expected to continue against ia
pans communications lines. Taking
a chapter from European war, the
importance Of paralyzing rail trans
port is being stressed. Carrier-based
planes have been hammering at rail
networks in the interior, as well as at
wal plants. Arrows point to area
known to have been hardest hit by
the sea attacks. Heavy black line in
dictates generally reported course fol
lowed by ships. Inset shows areas in
relation to Japan.

what was to be Harper's sixth torpe-
doed ship.
After we passed Pantelleria the
trouble started" he said. I'VE had to
pass close by the Sicilian shore. We
got it from the land batteries on one
side and the planes on the other. Our
escort was decoyed away from us.
We got hit that night. One bomb hit
between the galley and the Number
Four hatch. One fell on the port side,
the other to starboard. Just those
near-misses bulged in the plates foI
us. Four men were killed.
Everybody jumped overheard. We
were carrying 5000 tons of TINT
and no one was sticking around tt
see what happened. We were ma
chine-gunned from the planes. Ate
three-quarters of an hour, a British
motor launch picked us up and landed
us at Malta"
After spending AZ days on the is
land of Malta, Harper finally sailed tc
New York, arriving October 7, 1912
He continued to ship despite a hear
condition, last arriving in New Yorl
on April 7, 1915, on the SIS Francis
Boyden. He is nov registered foI
shipment at the NMU hall.

COTINUE FROM PACE
l. 2

Upon graduation from the Univer-
sity of Berlin, Harper worked tor
Thomas Cook and Son as a guide and
linguiSt. He was stationed at Brussels
at the time the city fell to the Ger
mans in October 1914. Because he
was an American citizen, Harper was
not molested. Together with others,
he worked to help free the famed
English nurse, Edith Cavell.
Leaving Belgium in June, 1915, he
went to Holland, a neutral country.
To get to England, he shipped on a
Holland-American line vessel and
Chen booked passage on the ARABIC
for London. On the way ove the
ARABIC was torpedoed off the West
Coast of Ireland. The survivors were
picked up by a tug and taken to Eng
land.
When his son was killed in an air
raid, Harper went into the merchant
service in England.
During the course of the wa l
was torpedoed four more times" Har-
per said. First in the Bay of Biscay,
then in the Bristol Channel, a third
time in the Mediterranean and next
en- route from Norway to Newcastle.
| was one Of three survivors of my
last torpedoing-that is, the last of
World War l."
When he was released from a hos
pital that treated him for injuries re-
ceived during his last torpedoing,
America had entered the war. Be-
cause of his language background,
Harper was requested as an aide by
Sir Walter MarjoribankS, General Al
lenby's assistant, whom he continued
to serve as secretary and valet after
the war, travelling to China, Argen-
tina, India, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa and the United States
with him.
In 1922, while he was stationed In
Tokyo as guide and linquiSt for
Thomas Cook and Son, Harper'S wife
and nine-year-old son were killed in
the disastrous earthquake of that year.
Not long afterward Harper went back
to sea again and has been sailing
since that time except for a few inter-
walls when he had shoreside jobs. The
day Pearl Harbor was bombed, he
was on a ship sailing to England.
From there they sailed under secret
orders through the Mediterranean on
