ory of our late townsman, Mr. Max
Finkelstein, whose funeral took place

tended by the friends of the deceased.
Mayor A. J. Adams presided and the
Rev. A. G. Shriver and Mr. Malcolm
Brock made short addresses, in which
they spoke of Mr. Finkelstein’s great
love for his family, his many sterling
qualties which made for good citizen
ship and won for him the esteem and
respect of his fellow townsmen; his
business sagacity and activity in all
fraternal and civic affairs.
Appropriate selections were sung
by the choir, with Mr. Fairman presid
ing at the pipe organ.. Rev. E. P.
Ziegler pronounced the benediction.
GEO. M. BARRY
BELIEVED TO
BE DROWNED
George M. Barry, organizer for the j
Western Federation of Miners at Me- ;
Carthy and Valdez, is believed to have !
been drowned. He left Hyder on Oct, j
16 to go down to his camp on the j
Canadian side, about ten miles below !
that town, intending to return to Hy- ;
der, but he never reached his camp.
His partner, Fred Lee, and Frank
Gillespie spent several days combing
both shores, but were unable to find
any trace of either him or his boat.
Barry had been in Alaska ten years,
coming to the territory from Butte.
He was a hard rock miner and pump
man, and had been quite active in
union circles in the Third division.
In 1912 he ran for representative on
ot... ..... iiMimimiiiiniiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiiitiriiiitiiiiitimiitinniiiiiiiiiiiillifliii'qin1. I
he Socialist ticket, being a resident p
}f Valdez at the time.
Although a congenital cripple, hav
ing a shortened leg, Barry was fairly
ictive, and his friends are at a loss
to account for his mishap, as the canal
was perfectly smooth at the time of
his disappearance. He had a son in
the American army and a daughter in
Butte. He was about 50 years old and
owned property in Hyder and other
Alaska towns.
ALASKATOWNS
TO STEM TIDE
OFRJI ICALISM
JUNEAU, Nov. 12 (Special to the
Daily Times).—The organization
named “Americans,” which was
formed here to head off the radical
wave, and of which Governor Riggs is
president, is open to membership by
anybody who can subscribe to the fol
lowing, whether an American citizen
or not:
“Our government is the best on
earth. There is on foot an organized
effort to destroy it, and this organiza
tions perfected for the purpose of
insuring its perpetuation in conform
ity with the self-evident truths ex
pressed in the Declaration of Inde
pendence.
“While we will live we will oppose
and overcome every effort to change
our plan of government or order of
society by any organization or person
whatsoever, and we will especially
combat all propaganda and every ef
fort made to disrupt industry by or
ganized labor unions or stifle individ
ual effort or undermine civic life and
American institutions, and generally
to help and assist all aliens now' in
our midst and who have full faith in
American principles to become citi
zens.”
Buttons bearing the word “Ameri
can” have been ordered, and it is ex
pected that every patrtotie Alaskan
will join. It. is hoped that other towns
and communities in Alaska will fol
low suit and organize similar clubs.

stigmatic lenses replaced. See Os-1
