Juneau Dispatch: The cablesbip
Burus'de wi 1 gel away Sunday for
Haines and Skatrway :o inspect the
sboro end of the cable to see whht
eff<ct the earthquake had on it. In the
Philit pines the constant earthquake
ghocits would strain the cable to the
breaking point. In maty places there
investigations would disclose that the
bottom of the sea had become changed
without any visable sign along the
shore. From Lynn canal the Burnalde
goes to Wrangell and Ketchikan and
then on to Seattle. A mail sack will
arrive on the Humboldt with the of

day morning, no word at that time hav
ing been received from either his peo
ple or his Eagles lodge. The same day,
however, a telegram came from his
relatives at Pugwash, Nova S-otia, giv
ing instructions to bury the body here
and write full pari icular* of hi? death.
About the same time another wire
came from the Eagles lodge at Sand
point, Idaho, instructing that the body
be embalmed and held for lurther in
structions. As the Eagles a'.iow funeral
benefits, it is probable that the amount
will be used in the erection of a ler.ee
and headstone at Winer's grave.
The result o? II e Vogel trial for con
spiracy against, the government in the
matter of retailing liquor will result in
the granting or a refusal to the saloon
at Haines, a license. The grand jury
indictment alleges that Vogel and
Dennis Murphy conspired to sell during
a Chilaot lodian potlach large amounts
of liquor. It. is the first case to be pre
sented on this theory of the law that
the matter can be construed into a fel
ony under the law. Judge Gunnison
has taken the liquor application of
Vogel's unjer advisement which prac
tically means that no aotlon will be
taken until after the his trial. A pro
