NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—Last Sunday
all churches in Northern New Jersey,
where extreme drouth has prevailed
for many weeks, shutting down facto
ries and putting thousands out of
work, prayed for rain, and today the
answer came in a howling northeast
storm that swept the coast from Bos
ton to Cape Hatteras and poured
heavy streams into the parched reser
voirs. Creeks became raging rivers,
and many fields were badly rutted by
the raging waters.

INDIANS AT TYONIC ARE
FORCED TO FLEE FOR LIVES
The furious storm and high tide of
two weeks ago swept completely over
the native village of Tyonic, forcing
the 112 inhabitants to flee up the riv
er in boats with their household ef
fects. All outhouses and caches were
obliterated and the orphanage, which
is on high ground on the sand spit
was surrounded by water several feet
deep.
The natives have moved back to the
village but the beach is 15 feet nearer
the orphanage than before the storm,
the water undermining the banks. Old
residents say this is the worst storm
ever seen in this district.
The sandspit after the storm was
covered with lumps of coal which
were torn from the beds across Turn
again Arm and carried over by the
storm. One large piece weighing 150
pounds was deposited in front of the
kitchen door of one of the residences,
and logs were strewn on the beach,
solving the winter’s fuel problem.

CJO
Mi'. Harry Kawabe, of the Seward
Steam Laundry, received a letter on
the last boat from Chinchi Ohashi,
Japanese consul at Seattle, express
ing his warm thanks to the people of
Seward for their contributions to the
earthquake sufferers. The letter fol
lows :
Imperial Japanese Consulate, Central
Building, Seattle, Oct. 9, 1923.
Mr. Sotaro Kawabe, Seward, Alaska.
Dear Sir: I have your letter of
September 20, informing" me of the
very profound sympathies shown by
our friendly Americans over there
and of the generous contributions
made by them into the Japanese Re
lief Fund of the American Red Cross.
“We nearly got a little bit discour
aged when we came to know about the
astonishing... amount., of., economical
loss suffered by Japan and about the
unspeakable miserable conditions ot
the Japanese people, but, being en
couraged by the warm sympathy and
substantial assistance rendered by the
American people the Japanese people
under the leadership of Count Yama
moto, Premier of Japan, and the
strongest man in Japan, are now well
on foot in restoring the pre-disaster
conditions and they are all determined
to make Japan more beautiful than it
used to be.
“Japan has been a friend to Amer
ica invariably and America also has
been the best friend of Japan, but on
account of the unceasing endeavor of
a few jingoists in both countries our
relations have appeared a little bit
strained some times. We have come
to know, however, by the almost un
exampled expression of sympathy and
sincerity of the American" people at
this time, what is the real attitude of
Americans toward the Japanese.
“Every Japanese abroad or at home
are appreciating the sympathy of
America, and I am happy to note the
present disaster has done much more
than the Washington conference in
promoting the friendship of two coun
tries. Alaska may be the nearest
spot in the American continent to
Japan so that the sympathy of the
people over there must be appreciat
ed first of all by the Japanese govern
ment.
“I wish you to extend my thanks to
those American friends who subscrib
ed a considerable amount of money
into the Japanese Relief Fund.
“Yours very truly,
CHINCHI OHASHI,
“Japanese Consul.”
The following Sewardites contribu
ted the amounts opposite their names
for relief of the Japanese sufferers,
$162.00 being sent to Red Cross head
quarters at San Francisco.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 25.—News
papers and the public generally were
^dumbfounded at the outspokenness of
governor Walton in denouncing the
Ku Klux Klan before the special ses
sion of the legislature, composed
largely of adherents and friends of the
Klan. He said: “I seek enactment of
an anti-Klan law to save our state
from disaster through the existence of
this secret organization, this all pow
erful and most demoralizing super
government which is undermining the
very cornerstone of the foundation of
our government and which is sapping
the lifeblood of our citizens by its
illegal acts of terrorism. Assassins,
arsonists and hooded miscreants have
no place in this commonwealth of
ours.'

NEW YORK, Oct. 25— Francis Or

the first dollars he had ever earned

cleared $10.40 the first day. In a
speech to the members of the Broth
erhood of Taxicab Drivers, he said:
“Gentlemen, I greet you today. I
kissed the button of the first labor un
ion I ever belong to and am never
aware of having felt such keen pleas
ure and so complimented in my lile
as when permitted to join this union.
I am so honored that I ask you boys
to call me ‘Frank.’ ”

P. F. Viahe for Seward.
PARIS, Oct. 26.—A Rhineland re
public today seems as far away as
ever for the Separationists. Their
recent conquests do not appear to
have sufficient force to hold the fields
they conquer. The Loyalists in the
presence of the complete apathy of the
general public seem to have no diffi
culty in regaining control, so that
when a balance is struck the Separa
tists are in much the same situation
today as they were yesterday. The
movement now apparently is confront
ed by the opposition of an indepen-1
dent republic, engineering by Burgo
meister Adenauer, of Cologne, and
fostered by the Reich which seeks to
divert the Separatists coup in its fa
vor. Practically all business has
come to a standstill and revolutions j
appear to be the popular pastime.
Many Killed and Injured
PARIS, Oct. 26.—A Hamburg dis
patch to the Journal says that 46 per

heavy fighting between the commu
nists and the police in the past two

police casualties amount to ten.

such disputes as that between Mu
nich and Berlin which has threatened
serious consequences.

COLOGNE, Oct. 26.—A dispatch re

“You can also say,” continued Mr.
Ford, “that I think the president is
going about the matter in the right
way.”

Former Seward Man Declares Freight
Rates to Alaska Out of Propor
tion in Comparison
SEATTLE, Oct. 24.—Addressing the
Seattle Advertising Club here last
night John E. Ballaine, a former Sew
ard resident, said that under the
present freight rates development of
Alaska is impossible, and the only
possible solution of the problem and
one which will have to be adopted fin
ally in the end is the operation of
government steamship lines between
Seattle and other Pacific coast ports
and Alaska. Ballaine charged that
the average freight rate per ton be
tween Seattle and Seward is $24.19, or
four times as high as between Seattle
and Hongkong, four times as far.
Mr. Ballaine declared that Alaska
was being slowly throttled by the big
interests and can see no remedy save
government control.

SUSPEND FROM
OFFICE 36 TO I
FIGHT FOR LAW AND ORDER
ENDS DISASTROUSLY FOR
OKLAHOMA CHAMPION
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 24.—Gov
ernor Walton was suspended from of
fice today when the State Senate by
a vote of thirty-six to one adopted a
resolution temporarily relieving him
from his official duties, following the
submission by the lower house of a
bill of impeachment against him. The
impeachment bill charged*the execu
tive with entering into corrupt
agreements with Dr. A. E. Davenport,.
State health commissioner.
A history of the case reveals a
strange state of affairs. Following an
appeal from several counties in the
State for relief from Ku Klux Klan
activities, Gov. Walton ordered ail
sheriffs and peace officers to appre
hend those responsible for the out
rages. At Tulsa a number of convic
tions were made, following a confes
sion by an alleged member of the
Klan. The governor then called out
the militia and declared martial law
in the affected counties. Threats were
freely made by members of the Klan
to impeach the governor and remove ^
him from office, the boast being made
that the Klan had control of both
houses. Today’s vote marks the be
ginning of a long legal battle with a
probability of government forces en
tering into the battle.

Knik river above Anchorage is said

miles from Matanuska and ordinarily
is 22 miles long, 7 miles wide and
1600 feet deep. The mouth of the riv

eight miles in width and it is said to
be impossible to cross so swift is the
current.
