CASES BEFORE
FEDERAL COURT
Joe Demenzet Bound Over for De
struction of the Granite Pow
der House—Fish Case
Dismissed.
Joe Demenzet, who has arrested
last Friday and brought from the
Granite Mine, Port Wells, has been
indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of malicious destruction of
personal property. Bail has been
fixed at $1,000 and bondsmen for the
accused had not been’secured up to
a late hour this afternoon. Accused
will be arraigned tomorrow after
noon to enter pleas. He is represent
ed by Attorney J. L. Reed.
In the case of U. S. vs. Alvin Lund
of Ellamar, the accused entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of having
supplied liquor to an Indian and not
guilty to the indictment charging the
selling of liquor without a license.
The United States district attorney’s
office dismissed the second indict
ment. Accused is represented by
Attorney C. G. Ganty.
The jury in the first case of the
U. S. vs. the Northwestern Fisheries
company returned a verdict of not
guilty, after being out until early
Sunday morning. When the second
fish case in which the Northwestern
company is involved had been argued
the court instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict absolving the packers
from intentional violations of the
fisheries laws. The District Attorney
then moved that the third indictment
against the company be quashed, as
the evidence would be insufficient to
secure a conviction.
In the case of U. S. vs. James Ta
gamea, Japanese, argument was made
on demurrer to the indictment, and
the court will announce his ruling on
the point of law at 10 o’clock tomor
row morning.
The case of J. A. Field, indicted by
the grand jury on the charge of
grand larceny at Anchorage, is set for
10 o’clock tomorrow morning.

HE IS INHOCEHI
Was Not Aware that the Letter He
Carried Contained Important
News for \rieuna.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—James
Archibald, the American newspaper
correspondent who was detained at
Falmouth, England, when it was dis
covered that he was the bearer of im
portant papers from the Austrian
| Ambassador at Washington to Vien
na, arrived on a liner which docked
here early this morning. Archibald
has not been arrested as yet but has
been subjected to a severe quizzing.
The correspondent asserts that he
was not aware that the letter which
was handed to him as he was about
to board the steamer for England
contained anything of importance.
He was handed the letter by Ambas
sador Dumba’s private secretary and
believed that it contained a message
which would secure privileges for
him at the front, and was unaware of
the controversy in which he had be
come involved until he read the re
port in a London newspaper.
When he learned of the controver
sy in which he had become involved,
Archibald states, he realized that his
usefulness to his paper at the front
had been destroyed and he determin
ed to return to America at once. He
declares that he was entirely inno
cent of any intention of violating
American neutrality.

NEW BULGARIAN
ARMY MOBILIZING
Leaders of Opiiosltion Have Now
Joined Forces with Army Party
In Urging War.
SOFIA, Sept. 20.—Bulgaria is mo
bilizing a new army and the war of
fice reports that thousands are clam
oring for enlistment. The number
of applicants is a surprise to the offi
cials who feared that conscription
would have to be resorted to. The
leaders of the opposition, who have
heretofore urged a strict neutrality
on the part of Bulgaria, are now ad
vocating war and have sent a dele
gation to King Ferdinand, declaring
that for Bulgaria longer to remain
neutral would be fatal.
The demands of the Allies upon
Bulgaria for a declaration of war for
or against the Teutons has caused the
leaders of the opposition to join
forces with King Ferdinand in pre
paring for entrance into the strug
gle. That King Ferdinand will de
cide to throw Bulgaria’s strength in
with the Teutons now seems certain.
STEAMER BURNED
IN MID-OCEAN
Greek Liner Aliitnia, with Nearly
Five Hundred Passengers on
Board Is Destroyed.
HALIFAX, Sept. 20.—The Greek
steam Athinia, which sailed from
Halifax several days ago, was de
stroyed by fire while in mid ocean.
When the fire was discovered the
distress call was sent out by the lin
er’s wireless and two steamers, the
Tuscania and the Rumania, immedi
ately went to the assistance of the
burning steamer. The Tuscania res
cued four hundred passengers and
the Rumania sixty from the Atbinla’s
small boats. Only one person was
lost in transferring the passengers
from the liner to the small boats.
The Athinia was completely de
stroyed and sank before the rescuing
steamers could reach her. The offi
cers of the liner are unable to account
fgr the origin of the Are, which
started in the hold of the vessel and
had gained such headway before be
ing discovered that the flames were
beyond control. The fire is believed
to have been caused by the explosion
of bombs, which were smuggled on
board by some of the passengers.
