MRS. M. KHORRE
HANGS SELF IN
FEDERAL JAIL
Mrs. Margaret Knorre. 37, com
mitted suicide early this morning
in the Federal jail. She was found
at 6:15 a.m„ hanging to a frame
work which partitioned off the
shower and lavatory in the women's
quarters, with a w*et dish towel
knotted around her neck.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Knorre
had undergone a sanity hearing in
U. S. Commissioner's Court and had
been committed to Morningside
asylum in Portland, by a jury. She
was in the Federal jail awaiting
transportation to Portland by the
U. S. Marshal's office.
Mrs. Mary Crowell, jail matron,
was sitting beside the door of the
women's quarters. Mrs. Knorre,
restless and nervous, had paced the
floor all night. Shortly before she
was found dead, she had entered the
curtained-off lavatory and Mrs.
Crowell heard her repeatedly flush
ing the toilet. Alter a few minutes
Mrs. Crowell went to Investigate
and found the woman hanging from
the framework. She immediately
took steps to revive Mrs. Knorre,
called a physician, but the woman
was dead on his arrival.
Mrs. Knorre was employed at
Thomas Hardware as a clerk. She
is survived by her husband. Marvin
Knorre and a baby about one year
old.
Acting U. S. Marshal Walter Hel
lan, confined to his home with a
severe case of influenza, said an
inquest would be held, probably on
Friday.
SHRIMPING GOOD
OFF DOUGLAS IS.
BALTZO REPORTS
Report of the vessel John N.
Cobb, shrimp prospecting in the
Juneau area is very promising, As
sistant Regional Director Howard
Baltzo said today. The vessel has
' been shrimping off the southern
end of Douglas Island.
Baltzo said several 30 minute
drags, in from 40 to 50 fathoms,
averaged about 350 pounds of
shrimp each of very large sized
pinks. He went on to explain that
to compare these with commercial
drags the catch should be multi
plied by six, as the Cobb uses a
20-foot beam trawl whereas a com
mercial trawl is of about 50 feet.
The Cobb drags were of about 30
minute duration and commercial
drags are generally of an hour or
more. The drags, made in from 60
to 80 fathoms, produced a fair
amount of frying-size side stripes.
"However, on the "black side",”
Baltzo said, "while the south end
of Douglas Island showed up so
well, drags were made all the way
from Auk Bay to Eagle river but
each one produced only a few
pounds of shrimp.” He added that
Taku Inlet was especially disap
pointing as the bottom was found
too rough for extensive dragging
and the few hauls made were
relatively non-productive.
This week the John N. Cobb is
prospecting in the Lynn Canal and
Berner’s Bay to Haines area and
will probably return to Juneau
early next week.
Baltzo said that as soon as the
Cobb’s trips are completed a full
report will be issued by the Pish
and Wildlife Service office on the
experiment and copies will be avail
•ple at the FWS office, which
should be in about one month.
Sheldon Johnson is skipper of
the Cobb and Bob Livingston is
fishery engineer in charge.

FACT-LOADED TALK
GIVEN BY JOE ALTER
AT ROTARY MEETING
J. Amos Alter gave a compact,
fact-loaded talk to the members of
the Juneau Rotary Club at the
Baranof hotel Tuesday noon. He
had recently returned from a trip
to Scandinavian countries where
lie was sent under the auspices of
the World Health Organization of
the United Nations. Alter is engi
neer and director of the division of
sanitation for the Alaska Depart
ment of Health.
Alter covered many angles of
health sanitation and methods of
- operation and pointed out that the
trip was for mutual exchange of
information. He regarded the con
tacts he made as important through
which to carry on exchange of
health information.
Speaking of the impressions he
gathered from these talked vh'l
regarding possible; war, mest of
them felt it was coming. The Finns
took the attitude, “We’ll do the best
we can;” the Swedes, "We’ll try to
maintain our neutrality, and do the
best we can;” and the Norwegians
i felt a vv ir was coming and generally
anted to know "are there any
jobs in the United States for us?”
Alter found that on the whole the
| Scandinavians knew a good deal
j p-ore about Alaska than most Alas
1 tans knew about Scandinavia.
The board of directors presented
; the following nominations for the
new board to be elected this month:
; Cec easier, Floyd Guertin, Ed Keit
hahn. Bob Lajoie. Alec Young, Ken
Clem and Neil Fritchman.
Clarence Rands of Sitka was a
