VALDEZ MERCHANT
SERIOUSLY HURT
John Panley Falls Down Cliff and
Is Badly Injured—Walks to
Beach and Safety.
John Pauley, the owner of the
Alaska Laundry, met with a serious
injury yesterday while working on
his gold claims across the bay and
high up the mountain side. Pauley
was climbing up a cliff and had al
most reached the top and safety
when a rock turned beneath his foot
and he was precipitated to the bot
tom of the cliff, a distance of about
fifty feet.
Cut and bruised about the head
and body, with his hands torn and
bleeding from the vain effort to break
the fall, with blood pouring from a
score of cuts on the face and about
the eyes, the dazed prospector real
ized that unless he made the shore
and reached his boat he would soon
lose consciousness and would die a
lingering death high up on the moun
tain.
He reached a small creek, and
washing the blood from his eyes, he
at once started for the beach and his
boat. Falling constantly because of
the inability to see clearly, stagger
ing down the mountain side, rolling
when he lost his footing and stumb
ling repeatedly, he worked for three
hours through the underbrush, over
fallen timbers and down gullies, un
til finally he reached his boat and
succeeded in starting his motor and
came to Valdez, where he is now re
covering from his injuries.

Large Number of Secret Serv

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.—
The State and Treasury departments
have employed more than a hundred
extra detectives to stop the destruc
tion of property in the United States
by German spies or Americans who
oppose the export of munitions of
war. Every arms factory ill the coun
try has been forced to employ manv
special guards, as bombs have been
found under the buildings in many
cases, and have exploded with conse
quent loss of life.
The State department is greatly
worried at the exposures in the
Providence papers, showing that the
German ambassador and his staff
have frequently violated the neutral
ity laws of the United States and
have furnished money for the con
tinuation of the anti-adrainistrat’O'i
campaign in papers published in for
eign languages in the United States,
and have even gone as far as to try
to purchase control of the news
agencies, and thus send to the papers
plate matter favoring the Gern.an

Germans’ Attentions to Prisoners
Cause a Boom In the Cutlery
Business in Empire.
LONDON, Sept. 9.—A dispatch
to the Times tells of the unexpected
recovery in the business of cutlery
works in that place, whose normal
business had been severely injured
by the cutting off export trade. “For
some articles, however, there is still
a great demand; and these, aside
from surgical instruments are for
the most part special scissors for
which in a great measure von Hin
denburg furnishes a market.
Four or five days after every big
capture which our troops make in
the east, there comes to Solingen to
the central office, a demand for the
immediate delivery of hair clippers.
As soon as the prisoners leave the
front and are shipped into the inte
rior of the country there begins a
great shearing of the shaggy-haired
Russians.
The purpose of this, of course, is
the Entlausung (getting rid of lice),
which is necessary to remove the dan
ger of infection. So great was the
demand for these scissors and clip
pers after the great victories in May
and June that they had to be di
vided up among various factories.
The demand is for a machine that
can be produced cheaply in great
quantities, and which in view of the
work it has to do is equipped with
new blades.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 9.—Can
ton and Cleveland contractors today
secured an order for more than four
million rifleB, wanted by the Rus
sian government to outfit the new
armies being raised by the Czflr for
the battles against the Germans. The
contract price is said be over $18.00
a rifle, and the Russian government
offers a bonus for prompt delivery
to eastern ports, so that the armies
may be supplied at once.
It is understood here that part of
the shipment will be sent to Russia
via Archangel, an the White Sea,
and the balance will go via Siberia,
and all the guns must be delivered
in time for the spring campaign,
which is being planned by the Rus
sian general staff.

TOKIO, Japan, Sept. 9.—All the
ship yards in Japan are being rush
ed day and night to meet the de
mands for new vessels. The war has
brought great prosperity to the coun
try and the expansion of the shipping
interests has been immense. The
new lines are branching out into new
territory and several hundred more
boats are needed.
The shipyards are also busy sup
plying the orders of British and
French dealers, who find it impos
sible to build in England or France
at the present time, but can use new
boats to handle the heavy war ship
ments, for which the government
pays high freight prices and guaran
tees the safety of the boat.

PURSUIT A HEAVY TASK.

Germans Have to Make Superhuman
Efforts to Supply Armies.
ROTTERDAM, Sept. 9.—No point
Is yielded by the Russians to the ad
vancing Germans until railways,
bridges and everything else of mili
tary value has been destroyed, ac
cording to German reports received
here. The Cologne Gazette admits
the difficulties confronting the inva
ders and says:
“The great area west of the Vis
tula is covered by ceaseless proces
sions of wagons bringing up sup
plies. In the devastated country,
where the railroad bridges have
been destroyed, an incredible amount
of work has to be done. Only by
heroic exertions have the Germans
been able to carry supplies to their
armies over the Vistula. Barges from
Novo Alexandria have arrived at
various points on the river.”
New York Banker Wants Business
Men to Take Charge of Annies
Munition Needs.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.—
James Barouche, the New York bank
er and broker, has suggested to the
administration the advisability of or
ganizing a businessman’s commission
for the purpose of mobilizing the re
sources of the country that are
needed in time of war. He plans an
organization that would have prepar
ed a list of the big manufacturing
plants that are in a position to turn
out war supplies, and a list of all
workmen in the various plants who
would be needed to increase the out
put in event of war being declared.
The plan proposed would give to
the government the aid of business
men of long experience and would
thus save the confusion incident to
the opening days of a big war, when
supplies are purchased at a high
price and are later found to be of no
value.
