When You Need
Money
If you are the average man or woman, you
have two sources open when you need
money quickly. One is to borrow it—if you
can; the other is to draw it from your ac
count. Even well to do people take no
chances on borrowing; they have their
checking account.

HALIBUT VESSEL
TARES TON FISH
OUT OF THE BAY
LINES SET FROM OFF WHARF TO
LOWELL POINT BRING IN
GOOD CATCH
Last night the schooner Middle
ton, in port awaiting the storm to
blow over and here for repairs, set
out nineteen skates, stretching from
a point in front of the Seward wharf
down toward Lowell Point, and were
rewarded this morning by a catch
of two thousand pounds of halibut.
Mr. Lundblad, local fish merchant,
states the fish were all in first class
shape, being unusually large and fat.
At this time of the year the bay is
supposed to be barren of fish, none
having been caught here for years.
In the early days quite a number of
halibut were taken out of Resur
rection Bay, there being a small bank
this side of Fox Island. The crew
of the Middleton will set out their
skates again tonight, the fishing be
ing as good here as anywhere.
The Middleton sold her catch to the
San Juan today.
Heavy storms are reported to be
raging outside the bay and in the
Gulf of Alaska the past few days.
Husan Tung Abandons
Proposed Trip to Japan
TIENTSIN, May 6.—Hsuan Tung,
ex-emperor, alias plain Mr. Pu Yi,
who escaped from Peking recently
“traveling light,” has given up the
idea of going to Japan lest his depar
ture arouse the suspicions of those
at present engaged in vilifying him,
says the editor of the Peking and
Tientsin Times.
The young man appeared in the
best of spirits in spite of the fact
that he is virtually a prisoner in the
Chang Piao Gardens, where he re
sides -under the protection of the
Japanese authorities, and where he
received his interviewer. That it is
necessary to afford him special pro
tection is due to the fact that a
group of agitators in Peking is op
enly demanding his assassination or
execution.’
Instead of making his dash from
Peking disguised in a Japanese uni
form and by means of a blue motor,
car, as certain Peking newspapers
allege, the ex-emperor, according to
his own story, traveled by train,
clad in a brown lounge suit, wedged
between two of Feng Yu-hsiang’s sol
diers and with more of them on the
seat- opposite, all blissfully unaware
of hfs identity.

Canals of Yser Yield
German Shot and Shell
(By Associated Press.)
YPRES, Belgium, May 6.—Restora
tion of the Yser region, which was
flooded and devastated by shot and
shell during the World war, has tak
en years to accomplish, and it is
only quite recently that all the locks
and dikes of the Yser have been put
into working order again.
The present task is the thorough
dredging of these watercourses,
which is proving exceptionally dan
gerous. So long did this part of the
country lay under intensive bombard
ment that the dredging machines at
every turn bring up quantities of un
exploded shells, grenades, mines and
other war material, but so far no ac
cidents have been reported. The work
will occupy the whole summer and
autumn.
