ON THEIR HEADS
Verona, Italy, June 10—It is re
ported here that the Austrians have
offered a reward of dose to five
hundred dollars for the capture ol
any Alpine Italian soldier alive. The
report of course lacks confirmation,
but is taken to indicate that the
Austrians are trying to urge tlicir
troops on against the Italians, whom
thus far have had everything their
own way. Great care is being exer
cised in the advance of both armies,
the one against Trient and the other
against Trieste. Every mile of the
way is thoroughly marked out with
range indications and trenches are
built so that the Italian forces will
be able to fall back without great
losses in the event that the Austrian
German advance becomes too heavy
for them.

A LONE HAND
Galveston, June 10—Recent arrivals
from Vera Cruz state that General
Carranza does not want to confer
with any other of the Mexican chiefs.
He takes the stand that he is the
only man with the right of recog
nition by the United States, and
such being the case, the others should
not be taken into consideration. The
arrivals state that conditions in
Vera Cruz are bad. but immeeasur
ably worse at the City of Mexico,
where thousands of people are actual
ly unable to get enough to cat to
keep body and soul together.

AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
What promises to be an interest
ing event will occur at Red Men’s
Hall, Saturday evening, when Rep
resentative J. R. Heckman will deliv
er an illustrated lecture on the
Alaskan Salmon Industry. There is
probably not a man in Alaska who is
more familiar with the Salmon in its
various stages, than is Mr. Heckman,
who has been rightly named Alaska’s
Pioneer Fisheries Manager. The lec
ture will be under the auspices of
the Ketchikan Lyceum ,nnd an ad
mission of 25 cents will be charged.
A fine collection of colored slides
will be used to illustrate the talk.
These will deal with every phase of
the industry ,the hatcheries and the
way in which the fish is artificially
propogated; the Alaska pack, and how
it is secured in the various regions;
the food value of the salmon, etc., all
shown on the screen in natural col
ors.

the Belgian lines.

PREACH PEACE
Washington, June 10—William Jen
nings Bryan announced today that lie
expects to make a lecture tour through
out the United States at once, to win
the people of the country to his
“Peace at any Cost’’ policy. This
is the stand he has maintained at
all times on the cabinet ,nnd it is
understood that the President’s send
ing of tlie marines to Vera Cruz a
year ago was in opposition to Mr.
Bryan's views.
The Cabinet, with Hobort Lansing
occupying the chair formerly occu
pied by Mr. Bryan, met last night.
The German situation was of course
the chief topic of discussion and all
flip different members went on record
as standing solidly behind the Presi
dent in his demands on Germany. It
is understood that the text of the
President’s last, note to the Kaiser
will be given to the press agencies
tonight for publication in tomorrow
morning’s publications. The Presi
dent still maintains a discrete silence
on the German question, pending the
receipt of the answer from the Ger
man government.

CELEBRATE
It wasn’t a very large crowd that
turned out last night at the meeting
of tlie Commercial Club to decide
on the question of whether or not
the town should celebrate this year,
hut everybody there was of the
opinion that it was up to Ketchi
kan to get busy. Accordingly, on
motion of Willis Bryant, President
Fdw. Brown appointed a committee
of five to have complete charge of
the movement with full power to do
ise ways and means and handle the
celebration generally.
The members of that committee
are
D. W. Hunt, chairman
II. M. Stackpolo
John Koel
Fremont King
Hi Stevens.
The committee met this afternoon
and decided to get busy right away,
as the time for preparation is short.
The effort will be made especially
to have Prince Rupert and possibly
“onto other team here to play ball
and other contests and races will he
provided for.
While money is not very plentiful
at this time ,it is believed that
enough can be gotten to provide for
a first-class celebration, not on the
elaborate scale of the past, perhaps,
I ut enough to guarantee a good time
for the people of the town and also
for any visitors who may come in
as our guests.
In addiMon to the disposal of the
celebration)^Routine matters were at
tended to "by the Commercial Club,
and the Club listened to a talk by
Mrs. McKlroy, a representative of

VOTING IS
_
Judge Stackpole lias been Instructed
by dodge Jennings to receive votei
on the liieuso question until further
orders. It appears that the ques
tion had been raised by the liquoi
dealers of Ketchikan as to whether
Judge Stackpole would receive any
further ballots on the “Wet or Dry’
question. He, not being sure of
Judge Jennings’ attitude on the mat
ter, wired to the latter for Instruc
tions, and last night was notified
that ho might receive the votes of an;,
of those who wore registered and hud
not voted on election day, but that
he was not to receive votes fron
those who were not registered . Ac
cordingly last night the Judge noti
ficd the representatives of the
“Wets” and “Drys” that lie would
accept votes on the question until
such time as ordered by the Dis
trict Court to discontinue. From
this it would appear that the liquor
interests should experience no diffi
culty in securing the requisite mini
bor of votes to enable them to se
cure a renewal of their licenses.
It is understood, however, that nr
effort may be made to prevent cor
tain of the saloons receiving their
licenses on the ground that they do
not show any intent to abide by tlir
law.

INTERESTED
Berlin, June 10—The news of n
military nature was completely eclips
ed in German papers yesterday by the
announcement of Secretary Bryan’s
resignation from the American cab
inet. In their comments on his resig
nation, the different papers express
widely divergent views, but all arc
united in saying that it will prob
ably mean much to Germany. Bryan
has been generally believed to be
friendly to Germany, and the German
people have considered him their
friend, especially in view of his at
titude against war, which has al
ways been taken to mean that there
was no possibility of the Bnitcd
States mixing up in the European
conflict as long as Bryan could pre
vent it.

Vienna, June 10—The Germanic ad
vance on Lemberg continues. Dur
ing the past week at least sixty thou
sand Russians have been captured.
The way in which the captured men
are mixed up indicates that the Rus
sian units are still disorganized. The
greater number of the prisoners were
without ammunition when taken,
which is taken to indicate that tlio
Russian supply is practically exhaust
ed. In addition to the men captured
our forces have taken scores of
machine guns and field artillery. It
is estimated that fully fifty per
cent, of the Russian artillery of the
forces confronting us has been captur
ed in the past mouth.

statement that he flew the American

port, as a protection against Gcr

there is no penalty for his so doing
so the matter cannot be taken up
in any way.
