NEWSPAPER MAN
TURNS AUTHOR
TO EXPOSE REDS
t CHICAGO, Oct. 27. (/P)—Blair Coan,
newspaper man and former represen
tative of the Republican national com
mittee, has turned author for the sole
purpose of exposing what he terms
“the red web” which gives title to his
book just off the press.
Mr. Coan’s expose concerns the al
leged activities of the Bolsheviks, the
reds, the pinks and the yellows, in at
tempting to undermine the United
States government.
In the introduction Mr. Coan makes
this statement:
“It was President Wilson who was
framed, and President Harding and
President Coolidge; it was the Am
erican government that was framed—
and the American people and the pub
lic press of the country.
“The inspiration for this frameup
was criminal: the soul of it, alien-fed
treason.”
Mr. Coan begins his “expose” with
. the entrance of the Bolsheviks into
the unsuccessful Prinkipo conference;
and then relates alleged activities of
the Reds against this government, be
ginning with their attacks on former
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer.
These attacks, Mr. Coan states, were
the result of Attorney General Pal
mer’s campaign against radicalism. He
says the impeachment proceedings
against and the investigation of Attor
ney General Daugherty and the oppo
sition of former Attorney General Har
lan F. Stone, appointment to the Su
preme bench were due to the same
cause.
* Under the chapter headed “The Con
spiracy of 1922,” he discussed the coal
and rail strikes of 1922; likewise the
main cause of Mr. Daugherty’s dis
favor among the Reds, his finig of an
injunctioh against the rail strikers.

city officers have enacted a law pro
hibiting an unmarried man from hold

bachelors.

the precarious condition of the wool

to Decreased Activity in Booze
Operators
Nick Martin of Cordova, will be de
ported to Germany at1 the expiration
of his jail term, where he became a
steady boarder as a result of being
found guilty last July, of violating the
national prohibition act, according to
D. W. Flannigan, prohibition officer,
who recently passed thru Seward en
route to Valdez. Mr. Flannigan said
he had received word to this effect
from W. G. Strench, District Inspec
tor, U. S. Department of Labor, Ket
chikan.
According to statistics it is stated 80
per cent of arrests on the above named
charge, are found to be aliens, a very
small percentage of them being nat
uralized citizens. A new policy of
the department, recently inaugurated,
will be a rigid investigation of every
arrest made in violation to the liquor
law and any aliens found guilty w’ill
be, according to the law, deported to
the land of their origination. This
move by the department is looked on
as being one of the most drastic meas
ures yet taken and it is confidently
believed it will bring about more re
spect for the law, particularly from
this class of offenders.

section in the vicinity of Seward, and
northward, is a most prolific territory,
capable of wonderful development, as
are many of the so-called isolated sec
tions to the Westward. Take the
port of Seward, for instance. The
government has expended millions on
less advantageous ports in the states,
yet a breakwater at Seward to assist
the principal port in the northern ter
ritory .almost as much as the Alaska
Railroad, has not yet been built, al
though numerous petitions have been
sent to congress regarding it.”
The Starr brought dried fish, salt
fish and barreled herring from the
westward canneries south with her.
A large shipment of furs came out
side on the Starr.
