SEPTEMBER SHIPMENTS
IRE UNDER MUSE
September’s shipments oi Alaska
commodities to the States, exclus- |
ive of precious metals, dropped to i
lees than $10,000,000 for the first J
time in many years for that month,
it was revealed in the monthly;
statement of commerce issued by
J. C. McBride, Collector of Customs
for Alaska. General decline in fish- j
eries products and copper ore was 1
accountable for the decreased total j
value, reports the Juneau Empire, j
The outgoing commodity ship
ments for the month just passed ;
totaled $9,753,495. This is $3,114,
121 less than for September, 1930. j
when the aggregate value of all!
products was $13,067, 616.
Almost $2,000,000 of the loss was;
covered by a decline in the value j
of canned salmon shipments, due J
in the main to lowered prices of
that variety of fish. The total
quantity of canned salmon export
ed was 80,382,945 pounds which had
a declared Customhouse value of
$8,706,850. In September, 1930,
canned salmon shipments were
worth $10,637,067.
Herring dropped $210,000 in value.
Fresh fish, salmon and halibut,
contributed another $50,000 to the
total decline. Fish meal was $230,
000 less and oil $190,000 under last
year’s figures. Of all fisheries pro
ducts, shell fish alone registered an
advance for the month.
Copper ore dropped $160,281, the
total value of shipments falling
$341,055.

The Treasury Department of
the United States Government is
perhaps inclined to give Ketchi
kan too much credit, according to
the Ketchikan Chronicle.
At least that is the assumption
gne would gain from a letter just
received by Mayor Norman H.
Walker from the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, who comments on
Mr. Walker’s individual income
tax return for 1930, adding tha1
*this office has information to
the effect that you were mayoi
of Ketchikan, Alaska, during the
the year 1930. You are requested
to advise what was the amount
of your salary as mayor • . .
Please furnish this information
by return mail”.
Oh, well, what can the mayor
say except that he wishes a sal
ary had been paid.

IE IS KILLED IN CUN
NEW YORK, Oct. 26. t/P)—Three
detectives were wounded and a
gangster was killed in a gun bat
tle which resulted when two police ;
found a killer suspect and two;
companions in hiding on the upper ;
Westside of Manhattan.
The dead gangster is ,E. Bat
taglia, gunman with.many aliases,
who was believed to have driven
the car from which companions
shot down and killed Patrolman
Jeremiah Brosnan outside the pris- i
on ward of Fordham Hospital in i
1928.
Battaglia’s two companions es
caped in the confusion following
the shooting although the district
was at once surrounded by emer
gency squads of police who carried
on the search for hours.
The wounded detectives are E.'
W. G. Pessagne and J. Defarraro 1
and are in a serious condition.
Three detectives went with po-1
licemen to a house in West 78th
Street where the patrolmen re
membered seeing Battaglia. They
went upstairs but had no sooner
got outside the door of the gun
man’s room when three occupants
opened fire, wounding the detect
ives.
The gangsters made a dash for
liberty, but the policemen who fol
lowed the detectives, fired four
shots, killing Battaglia. Two other
gangsters ran up the stairs and ap
parently escaped, although late in
the night, the police said they
were holding a suspect.

and help”.
Contests between the boys and j
girls and a number of other games 1
