GERMAN AEROPLANES VISIT ENGLAND
BOMBS DROPPED IN EIGHT TOWNS: 5 KILLED. 5 WOUNDED
KING LEFT SCENE FEW HOURS BEFORE THE RAID-MUCH DAMAGE DONE
^nni— rr: ti.. * 1 .1 . .
LONDON, Jan. 20—The Germans made another
aeroplane raid over tin* coast towns on tin* east coast
! of England last night, dropping a number of bombs
and causing considerable damage, together with the
killing of five persons and the wounding of five
others.
The aeroplanes flew over the North Non, prob
ably from some port in Belgium, and for four hours
flew over the towns along the coast about one bun
dred miles from London, dropping a number of
bombs. The towns of Sandrigham, Yarmouth,
Nheringham, Hunstanton, Cromer, Heneham, Dors
inghnm, Kingslynn were the towns attacked, all in
Norfolk. 1 lie bombs created considerable conster
nation among flu* inhabitants of the towns, though
comparatively little damage was done. The ex
plosions broke a great deal of glass, injured' a few
buildings, principally dwellings and docks, but no
public buildings were touched, and the financial loss
will be small.
King George, who had removed from London to
Sandringham, at the urgent request of the people, to
escape just such a raid, had left that town a few
hours before the attack. It is believed that the Ger
mans, learning of his resilience at Sandrigham,
directed their attack in this direction.
The raiders showed excellent ability in piloting
[their machines and splendid markmaship in direct
ing their bombs. The raid ended about midnight,
the aviators having evidently exhausted their supply
of bombs.
The raid has stirred up an intensely hostile
feeling throughout Kngland against the Germans.
The newspapers have made it the subject <>f scathing
editorials. They say that the fitting answer to such
warfare is fresh armies for tin* continent, where they
may administer to the Germans a well deserved
chastisement. The raid has also awaken a deep
hatred in the hearts of the people against the Ger
mans, and thousands are presenting themselves at
the recruiting offices for service in the army.
STEAMER DELHI TOT AL WRECK
Special to The Times By Associated Press.
SKATTLK, Jan. 20—The steamer Delhi, north
bound from Seattle to Southeastern Alaska ports, is
aground on Strait island, in Sumner Sound', and will
probably be it total wreck, as she is pounding heavily
on the rocks. The captain and six men are standing
by the wreck, while the remainder of the passi ng -rs
and crew were taken to Juneau on the Alameda.
The Delhi is a steam schooner of 986 gross tons,
and carrying a crew or 27 men. She was a wooden]
vessel, built at Winslow, Washington, in 190(5. She
was owned by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
and was being operated between Seattle and the
Southeastern Alaska points- For some years she
was engaged in the cannery trade.
CHARGES VIOLATIONS LIQUOR LAW
\\ ANHTNGTON, Jan. 20—The report of Deputy
Fisli Commissioner Dr. Lester Jones, who spent the
Inst summer investigating conditions in Alaska, sub
mitted to the presdent, contains a scathing arraign'
inent of the conduct of white men in tin* north to
ward natives. Coupled with this are charges of
wholesale and continued violations of the liquor tra
ffic laws and regulations, and of the laws for the pro
tection of the fish and fur bearing animals of Alaska,
the Pribilof and Aleutian islands.
The Commissioners urges that immediate steps
be taken to protect the natives and the rehahilation
of their morals. He says: “The white man’s lack
of care and regard for the sanctity of tin* homes of
the natives is the crime of Alaska. The wives and
daughters of the natives are dishonored and' any re
sistance on the part of the husband, father or brother
of those whose chastity has been violated, is over
come with threats or with bribes of liquor. VVliere
ever the white settles the saloon prevails, and not
withstanding the laws against supplying the natives
with liquor are very stringent there are plenty of men
who will run the risk of detection, and furnish tin1
natives with intoxicating liquors, and this causes the
ruin of tlx* Indians and the Aleuts. Even where
the saloons do not exist liquor still finds it way to the
natives through traders and dissolute white men.”
Commissioner Jones states that the law to pro
tect the fish in the waters of Alaska is a dead letter,
and so far as protecting the fish is concerned might
as well not bo on the statute hooks. Federal officers,
he states, are financially interested in the fisheries,
and all attempts to secure an enforcement of the fish
eries laws is vain. I le urges the adoption of a closed
season on salmon, and the government inspection of
the product of everv cannerv

TRIAL OF HMD
The trial of (leo. Hazzard, of Ta

obtained money under false pretenses,
was set for the U. S. Commissioner's
court at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but
upon motion of Assistant District At
torney Brubaker was continued until
four o'clock. Dr. W. H. Chase swore
to the complaint, to which were at
tached a number of affidavits from
parties about town who claimed that
the defendant had also defrauded
them. Mr. Hazzard conducted his own
case while Mr. Brubaker looked after
the interests of the government.
The court room was crowded with
an interested throng of spectators and
there was sufficient spice to the case
to entertain the crowd. A large num
ber of witnesses were put on the stand
by the prosecution to show the in
tent of the defendant to defraud, but
until after the latter's objection to
this testimony being introduced had
been overruled by the court.
The evidence tended to show that
Mr. Hazzard had borrowed considera
ble money on the strength of a pen
sion voucher exhibited in which was
eet forth that he had $:i<>0 due him
from Uucle Sam for army service. In
>ach case he solicted the name of the
Party's postofflce box for the purpose
of having the check come in their
care, and many of the lenders parted
with their cnsh on the strength of
this evidence of good faith.
After the government had intro
duced all of Its evidence the defen
dant stated that he wanted to sub
poena some witnesses and the case
was continued until 8 o'clock tonight.
