SEIZURE HALIBUT
SCHOONER BRINGS
OWNERS PROTEST
OWNERS OF FOREMOST, WHICH
LIQUOR FOUND IN APPEAL
TO SENATOR JONES
Seizure of the schooner Foremost,
largest and newest vessel of the Se
attle halibut fleet, by customs ofifi
icers at Ketchikan, is being protested
lier owners appealing to the Depart
ment of the Treasury, Washington,
P. C., through United States Senator
Wesley L. Jones.
The Foremost is valued at $45,000
and has a capacity of 110,000 pounds
of halibut.
Customs officers in Ketchikan
seized the vessel November 1 after a
number of bottles of whiskey had
been found aboard after her arrival
from Prince Rupert, B. C. The Fore
most was turned over to the United
States district attorney in Ketchikan,
who is preparing to institute proceed
ings which may result in her for
feiture to the government.
Capt. Andrew Peterson, master and
part owner of the Foremost, was ar
rested after he had resisted the cus
toms officers and had made an effort
to destroy the liquor. He was con
victed on a charge of having liquor
iu his possession at a trial in the Dis
trict Court in KetchikanNovember 4.
Senator Jones was informed by Wil
bur E. Dow, president of the Wilbur
E. Dow Company, Inc., Seattle cus
toms brokers, that the Foremost is
not a liquor-runner butis engaged in
the halibut-fishing industry. Upon
these facts being presented to the
Treasury Department, a full report
on the seizure was ordered from the
customs officers in Ketchikan. The
department will be asked to release
the Foremost, merely fining her mas
ter, according to Mr. Dow, who is
handling the case for the owners of
the vessel.
Music Induces Cow To
. Give More Milk, Claim
STRASBOURG, Alsace, Dec. 3. (IP)
—The placid German cow, munching
her bran mash in a stable on the
right bank of the Rhine, soon may
listen to the jazz music of an Ameri
can band in New York, Pittsburg,
or Kansas City.
Rhineland dairymen have discover
ed that music not only soothes the
cow, but induces her to increase her
milk supply. Recent tests wTith the
phonograph, it is asserted, have
shown increases of 6% per cent in
the quantity of milk given by mu
sically aided cows.
Now it is proposed to install radio
loud-speakers in the stables to give
the cows a bit more variety in pro
grams.
AMERICAN STUDENTS IN PARIS
CALL ON PARENTAL POCK'TBOOK
PARIS, Dec. 4. (/p)—Those Ajneri
can students in Paris who confidently
told their parents that living here
was so reasonable they could surely
do two years work in one, already
are writing home for increased al
lowances.
In the famous Latin Quarter, prices
of board and lodging have gone up
appreciably. Furnished apartments
which once cost 500 francs a month
now are renting for thrice this sum.
The long colored glass of appetiz
ing mixture that costs the French
student one franc and 70 centimes—
leaving him the extra 25 of his two
francs for a tip—cost the obviously
American patron three francs fifty,
with the implied obligation of tip
ing the boy 50 bentimes.
There’s always a way. The next
best thing to a raise is a cheaper
apartment.
About the only effective war im
plement left to Germany by the
treaty was Russia.

CAPTURED RUM IS
VALUED MILLIONS
MORE THAN 238 SEA-GOING VES
SELS HAVE BEEN TAKEN
BY GUARD 7 MONTHS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 4. (/P)
—The coast guard’s dry navy has
captured 238 sea-going vessels and
approximately 400 prisoners since its
concentration against rum smugglers
■was started about seven months ago.
The result has been obtained with
the loss of four government ships
and three members of their crews.
Making public the figures today,
the coast guard said its caaptures of
rum has xeceeded $10,000,000 in
value.
Officials believe they can control
the situation, provided adequate per
sonnel and equipment are made
to increase appropriations for the
work.
In carrying out the winter patrol
program, the coast guard is moving
some of its vessels south from the
New England coast and is putting
them in service around the Florida
keys. It never has been made known
how many boats the guard will use
in the southern waters, but recent
reports of the rum fleet in those
waters have somewhat alarmed of
ficials.
The government has not been able
to hold all of the captured ships,
some of them having been liberated
by court action. At the request of
the treasury, the department of jus
tice has ordered appealed several
cases and is prepared to seek ad
judication of other cases by the su
preme court.

Body of C. N. Banks
To Be Shipped East
The body of C. N. Banks, old time
Alaskan whose death occurred sur
denly at his sawmill camp at Girdwood
last week from natural causes, will
be shipped to the states on the next
boat, according to D. H. Williams, un
dertaker at Anchorage, who reports
the receipt of a telegram from a sis
ter, Mrs. Gustave Miller, instructing
him to send the body to La Porte, In
diana, at her expense.
The deceased was born in Indiana
61 years ago. He was educated at
Ann Arbor, where he received the
second highest honors ever awarded
a student in that college. In his ear
lier days he went in for baseball and
his clever pitching won him a place in
the National League. He came to
Alaska in 1898 and has resided in the
railroad belt ever since the com
mencement of railroad construction.
Correct this sentence: “The house
temperature that pleases me,” said
he, “happens o please every member
of my family.”
“No discoveries of importance have
been made in a generation." What
about Alaska?
“Vamping” a man merely consists
in making him think he has made
a conquest. ,

Once in a while we feel discourag

poetry and struggle on.
A man is really square if he doesn't
even approve of the liars on his own
side.
