Mysterious numerals (13S). incor
porated in a telegram received this
morning by L. \V. Olson, adjutant
for the local post of the American
Legion, from Mr. Petrich, adjutant
of the Juneau post, has rather set
the members on their ears as they
are uncertain whether 138 delegates
from Juneau to the Fairbanks De
partmental convention, will arrive in
Seward on the steamer Alaska next
Saturday or whether it is a secret
code sign.
Anyw’ay, the fact remains he re
ceived a telegram this morning to j
the effect Eiler Hansen, Territorial
Commander of the American Legion,
will be a passenger on the steamer
Alaska, en route to Fairbanks. E. A.
Rucker, prominent young local at
torney will represent the Seward
post at the convention which will be
held on June 24, 25, an d26. The
Woman’s Auxiliary delegates of the
Legion will also be present.

SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS BEING
SUBJECTED TO EXTREME
CRUELTIES
CANTON, June 16. (IP)—Canton is
still being looted after its surrender
to the Canton army. The Cantonese

the Yunnanese to flee, and are pour
ing across the river, hot in pursuit.
Soldiers and civilians are being sub
jected to extreme cruelties, many be
ing stoned and beaten to death in the
streets.
Although the defeated troops volun
tarily gave up their arms, they are
being given no consideration by the
victors who are looting the whole city.

LIEUT. GRADY OF
CHILKOOT POST
SEWARD VISITOR
Lieutenant Clyde Grady, 7 th In
fantry, U. S. Army, stationed at Chil
koot Barracks, accompanied by Mrs.
Grady, were recent visitors in Sew
ard, departing Sunday for Juneau
on the S.S. Northwestern. Lieut,
and Mrs. Grady have been making a
three weeks trip down the Yukon,
via Dawson, Nenana and Seward,
and stated the trip was enjoyed very
much.
The Lieut, has received orders to
report at Ft. Benning, Ga., for duty
with the 15th Tank Battalion and
upon his return to Chilkoot Bar
racks, will prepare to depart shortly.
Lieut. Grady has gained recognition
during his stay in Alaska thru sever
al articles which he has written con
cerning the Haines district and which

zines.
NO AMPUTATION
ARM NECESSARY
J. P. Hannon, brother-in-law of Miss
Elizabeth Romig, who was seriously
injured in an airplane crash at Fair
banks, June 8, received word by last
mail that Miss Elizabeth is recover
ing slowly, and that it is believed her
arm, which was badly shattered, will
not be amputated, as was at first
feared. An operation upon the injur
ed member will be made this week,
and it is believed it will heal as good
as ever.
The arm was broken in three places
the letter read, and everyone of her
teeth was shaken loose by the fall.
The letter makes clear how Miss Ro
mig was so seriously injured, while
the pilot, James S. Rodebaugb, suf
fered but little other than general con
cussion. The pilot controls were in
the rear sea, with passengers riding
in the forward seat, and as the ma
chine crashed on its nose at about a
45-degree angle, anyone can assume
that the passenger in front would
bear the brunt of the shock.
Mr. Hannon received a photograph
of the wrecked plane in the position
in which the ship struck the ground.
The machine was badly damaged and
the fact that neither were killed out
right is believed to be owing to the
short height from which the plane
fell. The strong straps which are
placed about persons riding in the
planes are given as another reason
why the twain escaped death, as the
broad leather bands broke the fall
and prevented the occupants being
hurled out of the plane to the ground.
It is stated that Rodebaugb attempted
a landing once, but being too far from
the hanger, took to the air again, and
was coming down when the machine
went into a tail-slip and then nose
dived to the earth.
