(Valdez Miner)
James Kahler, for a number of
years a resident of Valdez, where he
was connected with the Valdez Drug
store, was found dead in his room in
Juneau, where he has resided for the
past two years, last Tuesday evening,
under conditions indicating that the
deceased had taken his own life. The
Juneau Dispatch gives the following
account of the affair:
James Kahler, 37 years of age, res
isdent in Alaska ten years, a pharma
cist, unmarried, presumably commit
ted suicide in his room at the Cann
Rooming house over H. S. Graves’
clothing store on Front street, Juneau,
some time yesterday afternoon.
His body was found lying across
the bed by Mrs. J. H. Cann, about 8
o’clock last night. Dr. H. C. DeVigh
ne, U. S. Commissioner John B. Mar
shall and several friends were sum
moned.
The doctor examined the body and
his effects in an effort to find some
trace of the cause of death. On the
bureau in the room was found a small
box containing several 5-grain cap
sules of Veronal, from four to six of
which would have caused death. The
appearance of the body, the face, and
pupils of the eye indicated that such
a poison as Veronal had been taken.
The deceased was born in Jackson,
Oregon. For many years he lived in
Tacoma. His mother now resides in
Seattle and he has a brother in Hel
ena, Montana. Quite recently his
mother was in communication with
him.
i
It was learned last night from his
intimate friends that for an indefinite
period he had been worrying and at
times was in a very unsettled state
mentally over not having steady em
ployment. He had remarked to Mrs.
Cann that he would leave a note,
meaning that he contemplated taking
his life.
These statements were not taken
seriously by Mrs. Cann nor were simi
lar statements that it is claimed he
made at various times to sundry
friends.
The deceased was a quiet, unassum
ing affable person and readily made
friends. When he gave utterance to
' these melancholy statements his
- friends cheered him up and did every
thing possible to put him in a more
cheerful frame of mind.
He was a member of the local Elks
and was in the club rooms Monday.
Monday he worked at the city dock
with Tom Banbury and was to have
gone back yesterday. At 10 o’clock
yesterday Mrs. Cann went to his room
and found him sitting on the bed in a
bath robe. She asked him why he had
not gone to work. He replied, “ Oh
never mind; that’s all right,” or words
to this effect. Mrs. Cann thought it
was strange, but left him and as he
did not show up next day she again
went to his room and found the door
locked, but entered through a window
and found the body on the bed.
The deceased at one time worked in
the commissary department under He
ney during the construction of the
Copper River railroad; then later he
conducted a drug store in Valdez; he
had been in Juneau a little over two
years, and during this time was for
a brief period purser on the ship Geor
gia that formerly operated between
Juneau, Skagway and Sitka.
His body was taken to the C. W.
Young undertaking establishment last
night. At 1 o’clock today an inquest
will be held.
NEW WIRELESS
PLANT WORKING
AT FORT YUKON
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 10.—For the
first time the wireless station at Fort
Yukon was put in operation yesterday
and it is now possible to communicate
with the northern camp. The Fort Yu
kon radio station is the farthest north
wireless plant in the world.
From Fairbanks, the rate to Fort
Yukon will be 60 cents for ten words
and six cents per word for each extra
word. A night letter of fifty words
may be sent for 60 cents also.
The plant has been at Fort Yukon
practically all summer, but the signal
corps men could not get it in opera
tion as one of the vital parts of the
plant did not reach there until a few
days ago.
The establishment of the station is
but another step in the development of
the interior.

SPECTACULAR FILM
AT HARMONY THEATRE
The Harmony theatre will feature
the great spectacular naval war dra
ma of five reels Sunday night. This
drama is especially interesting and
instructive and was made possible on
ly by the consent and aid of the U. S.
navy and staged for this special pro
duction. In the drama appear gentle
men high in public and political life of
the country, in addition to the great
est moving picture artists. Notable
public personages are Josephus Dan
iels, secretary of the navy, Rear Ad
miral Badger and Captain Benson, of
the U. S. S. Utah. The subject of the
drama deals with a supposed naval
war and has created more than favor
able comment among the officials as is
seen by the congratulatory letter ad
dressed to the navy department from
Franklin Roosevelt, acting secretary
of war, in which he says, “Have re
cently witnessed private exhibition of
the naval drama ‘Victory’ and the sce
nario depicting war as it might occur
was very realistic and authentic. Es
pecially was this true regarding the
warships and men and in my mind it
is advisable that further interest be
taken in this matter by our depart
ment. I want to particularly compli
ment the actors and people connected
with the staging for the splendid man
ner the drama is produced on the
screen.”
