REVENUE GUTTER
SEIZES SEALERS
More than 100 Japanese
Under Arrest for Poaching
Off St. Paul Island
VESSEL HAS CLEVER DISGUISE
Seventy-five Offenders are at lin
ger and Bear Goes After Sec
ond Installment
Two Japanese Healing vessels have
been captured by t he revenue eutter j
Bear olT St. Paul island and their
crews numbering 100 or more are un
dor arrest charged with poaching
inside the three mile limit . Word to
this effect was last night received by
Assistant. United States District At
torney Ray, the message stating that
the capture was effected July 22. At
the time the message left. Unga sev- j
enty-flve Japanese had been left there 1
by the Bear which had gone west
ward again after another installment
of offenders.
Commissioner Drilllcld of Unga lias
held twenty-live of the offenders to
appear before the district court and
at the time the message was dis
patched was preparing to have hear
ings in the cases of fifty more. All
those held will probably be brought
to Valdez for trial. District Attor
ney Hay will shortly depart for Unga i
under instruntions received t his morn
ing from the attorney general. That
the department of justice believes the
case of importance is evidenced by
the fact that a reply was received j
this morning to the message sent last |
night by Mr. Ray. Ordinarily it takes 1
at least twenty-four hours for an ex
change of communication.
The report of the raid states that
one of the sealers, the Kinsci Maru,
was disguised to resemble the reve
nue cutter McCullough. The sealer
was provided with funnels contrived
out of paste board, her boats were
slung in revenue cutter form and in
every way the disguise was complete.
It is believed from this that the Kin- j
sei Maru left Japan with the intention
of poaching on the rich preserves of
St. Paul island and that the material |
used ir. the disguise were made in
Japan.
It is also the belief that the Kinsci
Maru is the vessel the crew of which
last season raided the village of Al
chok on Alitka Bay while the inhabi
tants were away at a cannery.

Another Unwritten Law Kill
ing Affords Interest to New
York Society
Baysido, Long Island, Aug. 18—
Once again has tlio nnwritten law
boon invoked as oxcuho to slay and
aw a result William K. AnniH, pub
lisher of I lie Burr Mcintosh Monthly,
is dead and ( -apt. I'oter Haines, of
the United States army is in jail.
The killing took plaee yesterday
afternoon and was deliberate, a
brother of the captain, armed with
a revolver, preventing interference
from the many who witnessed the
affair, among them Mrs. Annis.
Annis and ids wife had been out
for a sail and were just, coming ashore
at the float of the Baysido Yacht
Chi!) when they v»ere met by . Utipt.
Haines and the hitter's brother.
Oapt. Haines at onee opened tire and
discharged seven shots into his vic
tim who died within a quarter of an
hour. Mrs. Annis would have gono
to her husband's assistance had she
not been restrained by friends who
were intimidated by the menace of
bho revolver in the hands of ('apt.
Haines' brother.
When ('apt. Haines, his vongeaneo
wreaked, walked away Mrs. Annis
threw herself upon her husband but
after a moment she recovered her
composure and assisted in affording
relief to the wounded man. Annis
died before he could be removed from
where he had fallen.
The killing has caused much com
ment both here in Bayside and in
New York for both principals were
highly thought of and widely known.
Capt. Haines is a son of General
Haines and hasonly recently returned
from the Philippines. He asserts
that while lie was in the islands
Annis, in New York, pressed his at
tentions upon Mrs. Haines and finally
wrecked Haines' home.

of Injuries.
Springfield, III., Aug. 17—Near-by
villages arc in fear that any moment
they may become the Heene of race
outbreaks similar iu character to that
which is continuing to make of Spring
a hattle ground. The villages have
received warnings of pending trouble
and have appealed to the state for

Sunday the death list, of the previ

the list of injured is swollen to enor
mous proportions. Karl Nelson of
Kankakee while attempting to break
into a box car was killed by a soldier.
Two of those wounded in mob lights
died at a hospital.
All day yesterday and all last night
the mob raged through the streets
but it has t.o an extent been circum
vented by t he militia which has form
ed a cordon around the negro fugi
tives and has so far been able to pro
tect them. An attempt to cut fire
alarm wires was also frustrated by
the militia.
Hunger and fatigue is slowly de
pleting the mob and it is possible
that further violence may la? pre
vented.

Pennsylvania Comes From

of any Character.

Rock OH Montague only Scrapes
Ifilge l>nt liil S(|u;hcIv Wreck
would Result.
Wirelesa information became tan
glud up during the just completed
trip of the Pennsylvania from Soat.
tlo to Valdez. In wuiic manner the
cahleship lluruside, then at Cordova,
received from the air the report that
the Pennsylvania had struck a roek
off Vancouver island and that the
foundat ion of her hoiler batteries had
been jarred loose. This was supposed
to liavo occurred when the JPeiinysl
vania was a day and a half out from
Seattle but the Pennsylvania ar
rived at Valdez Sunday, safe and
sound after an uneventful voyage.
('apt. Hlain, master of the Penn
ttylvania, explains the accident re
port by the fact that after arriving
off Seattle 011 the previous trip he
used his wireless apparatus to inform
shipping t hat he had bumped a roek
off Montague and that while the
chart shows nine, fathoms, in reality
the rock is eovered by only three
fathoms, lie believes that in picking
up this message the Hurnside got
things twisted.
Capt. Hlain says that the accident
olf Montague was fraught with serious
possibilities and that tin* Pennsyl
vania had a very close call. The ves
sel bumped high on her bilge and
without damage but had she struck
full 011 it would probably have torn
the bottom completely out of her.
The Pennsylvania brought to Val
dez the following tirst class pas
sengers: John A. Clark, Mrs. John
A. Clark, Anna S. Clark, James .1.
Godfrey, A. W. Jcnks, F. Philips,

Truth 0k.rvd QviaJity
appeal to the well informed in every walk of life and
are essential to permanent success and creditable
standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all
who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the
fact that it involves the question of right living with
all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what
is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of con
templation and of effort may be made to contribute to
that end and the use of medicines dispensed with
generally to great advantage, but as in many instances
a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable, if
taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co.
feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the
subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy
which has won the approval of physicians and the
world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all,
and the original method of manufacture, which is
known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably
known under the name of-—Syrup of Figs — and has
attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excell
ent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles,
obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we
have adopted the more elaborate name of — Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna — as more fully descriptive
of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called
for by the shorter name of — Syrup of Figs — and to
get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing,
the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package, whether
you call for — Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.
