LEAK IN LIQIjOR WAREHOUSE ON
INLET; BOOZE BECOMES WATEF
Many complaints have been re-i
ceived by the steamship companies
this year concerning shipments of li
quor, which turned to water, bricks, or
some other substance, en route from
the Outside, but the most extensive
“transformation” yet noted has just
been reported by the marshal’s office
at Anchorage.
U. S. Deputy Marshal Mobsman
shipped eighteen cases of whiskey and
two barresl of beer from Anchorage
to San Francisco to be used as evi
dence in a case where “false labeling’**
and “false manifest” was charged
against the consignor.
Some time between the seizure of
these packages at Anchorage and the
time they arrived at Seattle after be
ing stored for a time at Anchorage,
transferred to the dock and shipped
aboard the Mariposa, the liquor was
removed and other articles substituted.
That all was not right with the
shipment was discovered when the
shipment was transferred from the
Mariposa at Seattle and the following
report was made by C. M. Blain,
freight clerk of the Mariposa.
Shipped to Mossman. San Francisco.
Eighteen cases said to contain
whiskey and two barrels said to con
tain beer. These cases were exam-^
ined by J. C. Harris, T. A. Love, C. M.
Blain and C. L. Winter, with the driver
of the transfer company and found to
contain the following:
One case—8 bottles whiskey.
One case—1 sack cemnt. f
One case—Rope and sack gravel.
One case—Sawdust and six bottles
empty.
One case—Sawdust and three bot
tles empty.
One case—Sawdus-t and two cans
Carnation milk and four M. T. bottle .
One case—Two pulley blocks and
rings and ladies' clothes.
Nine cases—Each one keg said to
contain whiskey but held water.
One case—Eight bottles whiskey
and sawdust.
One case—Nineteen bottles of whis
key and 1 broken and tilled with An
chorage newspapers.
Two barrels beer contained IT and
20 quarts beer and excelsior and straw.
Fred Tracy, agent for the Alaska
Steamship company at Anchorage, has
issued a statement in which he says
he is positive that the substitution oc
curred before the packages were de
livered to the company for shipment.
Last year liquor seized at Point
Campbell and later destroyed here,
dwindled so that only about half the
amount seized was destroyed here. In
other instances shipments seized dis
appeared.
While it is known that some ship
ments have been tampered with on the
way north, it is charged that the big
best “leak” occurs after the goods are
seized at Anchorage. It has been re
ported here on good authority that
cases of the liquor seized from the
Schooner Lucy a few weesk ago have
already been sold in Anchorage, find
ing a way through some mysterious
channel from the warehouse where
stored by the deputy marshal into the
hands of purchasers.

Mrs. C. E. Darling ,of Nome, Re
ceives Cross Because Dogs Stood
Test On Battle Front
NOME. — Mrs. C. E. Darling, of
Nome, on July 1C received a medal of
honor, won by the Alaskan dogs tak
en to the French front last year by
Scotty Allen, the well-known dog
musher. During a raging blizzard on
the French frontier, which lasted four
days and nights, the dogs transported
ninety tons of shells to isolated posts
on the battlefields, to points which it
was impossible to reach by other
means of transportation. For this rea
son, and because Mrs. Darling was the
originator of tho movement to use
Alaskan dogs on the battlefields, the
French government has sent her a war
cross. x

ANTHRAX SPREAD IN
HAWAII IS SUSPICIOUS
HONOLULU, T. H.—The rapid and
mysterious spread of anthrax through
out the islands of the Hawaiian group
is causing apprehension. The convic
tion is openly expressed in official
quar that the disease is being deliber
ately spread by persons intent upon
injuring the United States.
Dr. Victor A. Norgaard, territorial
veterinanrian, who was sent by the
board to Maui to handle the situation,
reported by wireless that the disease
had broken out in several widely sep
arated spots and that in his opinion its
spread was not accidental.
