IN SKA6WAY
SKAGWAY, Jan. 21.—The skagway
Alaskan of this date gives the follow
ing interesting account of more excite
ment which has been experienced here
than since the Y'ukon gold rush:
“Upon request of the Skagway coun
cil of defense, sixteen soldiers from
Fort William H. Seward arrived in
Skagway last night at 9 o'clock and
immediately were detailed to guard
duty. The water front. White Pass of
fices, customs building, am! Droadw-ay,
the court house and the car -hops were
,put under guard. Soldiers are patrol
j ling the streets today,
j Excitement prevailed in the city last
night, and many rumors made their I
way among the people. Word from
responsible government men was re
ceived on the City of Seattle that a:
general plot was on foot by Germans
to destroy certain property throughout
the United States and its possessions
on January 21. Every city was warned,
and as Skagway is the gateway to the
Interior, the defense council deemed it I
wise to take extra precautions here;
and asked for troops. In addition to]
the soldiers, Carson, Page and Hardy,
and an extra watchman were on duty
last night, and were under orders to
investigate any suspicious characters.!
“During the late hours of the night!
the cabin in which Fred Kruhe was liv-|
ing was entered by government men,
and Kruhe was taken to the court I
house for investigation as a suspicious!
character. When found, Kruhe w as ly-,
ing in bed, completely dressed, even to'
having on boots and fur cap. In his J
possession w-ere found notes written
in shorthand, w-hich he says are a com
bination of five different systems, but
which neither he nor anyone else can I
read. The finger nails of Kruhe'sJ
hands are black and stained with]
chemicals. He knows chemical tor-,
mulas, which he says he has learned
while studying the chemical process'
for extracting gold. Kruhe is par-|
tially supported by his father, so he'
claims, who lives in Fairbanks, but he!
himself has done little work for years. |
“Kruhe came to Skagway ?&out two
months ago from Juneau, and -^one
no work in that time and has tcept
close to his house. He is thin, un
kempt, and has the appearance of be
ing sick, but says he is in perfect
health. Although not arrested, Kruhe
is being detained for further investi-J
gation.
“Soldiers probably will be in the
city for several days, guarding airyj
eventuality that may arise. No dam
age has been reported from the States,!
and it is possible that the plot has
been thwarted or postponed.”
Arrests Made
SKAGWAY, Jan. 22.—Soldiers are^
still policing the streets of Skagway, [
and extra precautions are being taken
at night. Martial law has not been
declared, as that is not believed to be
necessary, but the effect is almost the
same.
Last night fourteen persons in Skag-j
way were ordered to report at the
court house, where they were in
structed in the rules of the govern
ment regarding the approach to termi
nals, depots, etc., and were informed
of the laws against seditious speech.
This was merely a precautionary meas
ure, and the persons called were those
whom the authorities thought should j
be specially warned for one reason or
another.
Wprd has been received from Fair
Fairbanks that Kruhe, detained in thej
court house as a suspicious character,
was committed to Morningside sani
tarium in 1914. A wire was immedi
ately sent to that institution inquir
ing about Kruhe, and when and how
he left. No one has been able to read
the shorthand characters which Kruhe
had in his possession, and he himself
will not read them.
It was learned this morning that the
United States harbor boat Peterson
went to Juneau immediately after leav
ing here, so it is supposed precautions
have been taken there in like nature
to those at Skagway.
Although no information has come
from the Outside cable reports that
any concerted plot has developed, pre
cautions are being taken. Rumors in
Skagway are to the effect that the re
cent I. W. W. plot in Fort Seward,
which was exposed, and for which
several soldiers have beep arrested
and given heavy sentences by court
martial, has been traced to some ex
tent to Skagway.
When here Sunday night Command
ing Officer Jones of Fort William H.
/ Seward said the only danger in Skag
way was from fanatics. Whoever
would do any desperate deed would be
sure to be caught, but. there are many
enemies who would just as soon lay
down their lives in this country by
doing some anarchistic act as to be
shot on the battlefield.
Is Not a-Spy
SKAGWAY, Jan. 23.— Word has
(been received from Morningside that
Fred Crewe (Kruhe), detained in Skag
way as a suspicious character, was in
the sanitarium only six weeks in 1914,
at the end of which time he was re
leased.
The idea that Crewe is a German spy
has been abandoned, and he is being
detained only temporarily until his
father, who lives in Fairbanks, and
with whom authorities have been in
communication, sends him money and
a fur overcoat. Crewe will then leave
for Fairbanks, going by way of Cor
dova, and will join his father.
Nothing further has developed in the
city regarding the plot warning. Sev
eral soldiers returned today to Fort
Seward, but others will be kept here
indefinitely. The story that the Peter
son had gone to Juneau has been sifted
down to a rumor. It is a fact that
the Peterson left Fort Seward, going
down the canal on a secret mission,
but as to where she went we cannot
say.
Rumors about town that all enemy
aliens must report to the authorities
three times a day, and that they must
remain indoors after 7 p. m., are with
out foundation. Precautionary meas
ures were taken by warning aliens of
the law regarding seditious speech.
Other than this, no rules are in effect.

BUREAU OF FISHERIES
RECOMMENDS OYSTERS
The bureau of fisheries, department
of commerce, is distributing a poster
giving reasons for eating oysters more
generally. The oyster production of
the United States is greater than that
of all other countries combined, and
there is available in this resource a
vast quantity of animal food which
shotild be utilized to the utmost at
this time.
Federal and state inspections are
now given to the sanitary condition
of the beds and the handling of oys
ters, and the producers are co-operat
ing to assure the purity of the product.
Particular attention is called to not
only the harmlessness but the excel
lence of “green-gilled" oysters. The
gray-green color characteristic of this
condition is never found on the body
of the oyster, but is confined to the
gills, fleshy plates which are brought
into view when the edge of the oys
ter “crimps" in cooking. It is derived
from a vegetable coloring matter in
some of the delicate iniscroscopic
plants on which the shellfish feeds.
Green-gilled oysters are usually fat
and of excellent flavor and in France
are regarded as the best obtainable.
In the United States there has existed
a prejudice against them on account
of the erroneous belief that the color
is due to copper.
The bureau recommends oysters as
without waste, digestible, wholesome,
and affording an appetizing variant to
the diet. A cookbook containing 100
recipes can be had gratis by address
ing Division F, Bureau of Fisheries,
Washington, D. C.

TO A PACIFIST.
“Let us have peace,” ay, peace, but not
until
The beast of greed is parted from its
prey.
“Let us have peace,” but not till vic
tory’s host
Proclaims the dawn of an unfettered
day.
And traitorous be the lips to breathe it
now—
Accursed be the tongues that idly
speak,
While demons in the twilight of the
gods,
Rapine and death upon the nations
wreak.
“Let us have peace,” as, God, the
mockery creeps
Along the ways of life like petty
thieves,
To snatch the manhood that our fath
ers gave—
To taunt a freeborn people as it
grieves. •
“Let us have peace,” stand out there
in the light,
That truth may damn you as you say
your part;
Then mouth it there, before the blast
ing guns—
There is no blood to trickle from your
heart.
—Virginia Frazer Boyle.

CAMP CODY SOLDIERS
DEjMING, X M., Jan. 31.—Soldier"
at Camp Cody are being entertained

Do,ming war service board, composed
of representative citizens of Luna

New Year’s entertainment hers which

of fireworks at night and roping and
riding contests for the soldiers from
the east who had never seen this
brand of southwestern sport.

ber of plans now being worked out

officers at Camp Cody. Race*, auto
mobile road races and baseball games

Although Iteming is a much smaller
city than El Paso and other cities
near where troops are stationed, the
; war service board is working hard to
! overcome this handicap and is being
financed by the city council and en
dorsed by the mayor in its work
among the soldiers.
