EVIDENCE OF A |
GOOD NOTION
THE PACIFIC COAST STEAM
SHIP COMPANY TAKES
THE LEAD
AND REDUCES PRICE
Will Carry You From Here To
St. Paul For The Small
Sum of $53.72
Mr. Bold, the genial agent of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
with his office on Heckman's dock,
informed the Progressive-Miner of
a rule promulgated by his company
whereby reduced rates for travel
ers from here to the middle west
should be considered.
The now existing rates as prom
ulated, show that transportation
may be had from Ketchikan to
Duluth , St. Paul and Superior,
Wisconsin, for the nominal sum of
$53,72, for first class and $46 for
second class. This is a material re
duction and the company is to be
commended for its generosity.

MRS. CAMPEN GIVEN
FREEDON BY THE JURY
(From the Juneau Empire)
The jury in the case of Mrs.
Cecilia Gertrude Campen, who fired
several shots into the body of her
husband, none of which proved
fatal, was .given her liberty yester
day by the jury bringing In a sealed
verdict yesterday morning of “not
guilty.” Many of those in the court
congratulated Mrs. Campen soon
after the verdict was rendered.
Mr. and Mrs. Campen and their
children lived at Kake, Alaska,
where she claims to have been driv
en by abuse from her husband to
take a couple of shots at him. She
was arrested and taken to Juneau
for trial for attempted murder,
where she was acquitted.
The search that has been kept up
by deputy marshals in an endeavor
to locate Ed. Krause, of Petersburg
for kidnapping a Douglas man,
and for whose arrest a five hun
dred dollar reward has been offered
has apparently been fruitless. The
Juneau Dispatch of the 10th says:
Chief Deputy Manning of the mar
shal’s office and his aides who have
been out in a launch searching for
Krause or Miller, accused in a war
rant of causing the disappearance
of Wiliam Christie of Treadwell will
return today.
No new developments have trans
pired. The opinion is now express
that Krause may not know the of
ficers are looking for him. The
latter are anxious to interview him
believing that he might give them
information by which they may get
on the right track and explain the
„ mystery . »
GATEWAY SAYS PEOPLE
WANT SPENCE REMOVED
TJie Gateway at Seward says: On
the way back to Washington at this
moment is an appeal from the demo
crats of Valdez to remove from of
fice District Attorney Spence of the
Third Division, according to indis
putable evidence received today by
the Gatewty. The resolution calling
for the retirement of the district
attorney was passed at a meeting
of the Democratic club of Valdez
about ten days ago. It carried a
preamble which stated that Spence
has not identified himself with the
Democratic party in Alaska, has
associated and worked with the
bitterest opponents of the organiza
tion, is not an Alaskan, and is in
various ways unfitted for the posi
tion. The information received even
* goes to the length of saying that
Spence is incompetent. A rumor
has also reached the Gateway that
the Bar association of Valdez is a
,bout to follow along the same lines
with regard to the district attorney.
FRANCE EXECUTES
TWO WOMEN
Both are Said to Have Had Fair
Trial on Spy Charges
Paris, Nov. 6-—France makes no
secret of the fact that she has ex
ecuted two women spies. Otillie
Voss, when arrested, called herself
Jeanne Bouvier. Her papers were
made out in that name. After be
ing questioned she told her true
name and said she was bom in
Rhine provinces, a German and un
married.
For seven years before the war
she lived at Agen near Bordeaux,
giving German lessons. When the
war broke out she returned to Ger
many and became a spy.

was arrested at Nancy.
After a long exanimation she con
fessed that the Germans sent her
to obtain information concerning the
presence of British troops, reported
to be in the Nancy region.

.DISPUTE OVER SPY INQUIRIES
Too Many Departments Want to
Guide Detectives
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10—The
Department of Justice and the
Treasury Department are engaged
in a controversy over the investi
gation into the activities of Fay,
Breitung, and the other alleged Ger
man spies at New York by the
secret service under the direction of
Chief Flynn.
According to the Department of
Justice, the secret service has no
jurisdictoin in the case and should
not be allowed to meddle in it. The
department contends that under the
'aw passed at the close of the
Roosevelt administration the juris
diction of the secret service is con
fined to treasury cases and the care
of the President.
Dfenders of the secret service,
however, insist that it is the only
body of trained detectives in the
Federal service. They assert that
the bureau of investigations of tM?
Department of Justice, which wants
to handle the Fay case exclusively,
under the direction of A. Bruce
Bielaski as chief, is not competent
to do the work.
