This is on orders given by President Roosevelt. The first group of 49, including one woman, will be put aboard ships and sent back to their home- lands in the Orient, Europe and South America. ! Other convict aliens will be de-| ported as quickly as they are| eligible for deportation. Various Crimes Crimes for which the aliens have been imprisoned range from auto thefts to murder, with narcotic| peddling the most common. i Terms run from one year to life. Only Canadian and Mexican pris- oners will escape the deportation order as the Department of Justice said they found it useless to deport them as they slipped back into the United States. Women Deported The woman to be deported in the first group is Bessie Murray, who is serving a sentence for postal law violation. She will- be—sent back to Ireland. Also to be deported, although not a conviet, is Anna Sage, the| “woman in red” reputed by sorne' as the “finger” woman in the Dil~ linger shooting. She, however, de- nies it.

Mor ,-action of longshore- men prevented the loading southbound steamer Northwestern with gold concentrates. This In both cases, George Cox, dele- gate of the ILA local, told M. J. Wilcox, Alaska Steamship Company agent here, that no member of his organization would work A. J. cargo. He gave as his reason the fact that the mine was operating in the face of a continued walkout by the Alaska Mine Workers Union. He intimated that the local ILA men would not go through Alaska Mine Workers Union picket lines to unload at the Alaska Juneau Dock. Northwestern Held On Monday, the ship yas not dispatched to the Alaska Juneau Dock from her usual berth at Paci- fic Coast Dock. Wilcox 'was told, before he planned to order the ship to the mine wharf, that the TLA men would not load the concen- trates aboard the ship. He also learned, after a conference with the marine union delegates aboard the , that the sailors would move ¢ ship to the Alaska Juneap Dock, but\would not get up steam in the winches in the advent that com- pany employees offered to load the concentrates. = ‘GOLD DIGGERS’ | ARRIVE; GIVEN | G00DWELCOME Members of Party Taken to Mendenhall Glacier, Also to A.

Will Fight Shy of Foreign Disputes LONDON, July 27.—While Brit- ish leaders busied themselves with drawing plans for a complete showdown when the Italo-Ethios pian dispute is aired at Geneva next week, the reputable London Sunday Times urged Great Britain to close the Suez Canal as a meth- od of ending the trouble. The paper suggested that Eng- and act in the capacity of a pro- ecting power in closing the canal, the action to be sanctioned by the League of Nations as the treaty calls for the canal remaining open in time of war as well as in time |of peace to all ships of all nations. I'he paper said Italy cannot expect the treaty to be observed as Italy is violating four treaties if war comes. Disciplinary Action Closing the canal would be in a measure disciplinary action, causing Italy’s warships to detour thou- sands of miles. “It would place the canal and its controllers in a new honorable role as guardians of world peace,” the newspaper sald. it is dou " to. formed mw woul seek suech a mandate at Geneva except possibly as a last resort.

Mrs. Pakonens fainted and her husband carried her into the cabin. The bear in the meantime mean- dered around to the rear of the cabin. Pakonens rushed to a neighbor’s house and returned with a rifle and shot the bear. The diversion now for the colon- ists is salmon fishing in which most all of the colonists participate nightly after a day of cabin build- ing and other activities. More than 600 cans of salmon have been put up to date.

They are. expected to leave Monday along with the re- maining Navy vessels to end the welcome celebration. It also was apparent today that Juneau’s own Coast Guard -cutter Tallapoosa would not be given an opportunity to meet a fourth Navy opponent this summer in a whale- boat race. Commissioned officers aboard the Chicago explained that they had no crew in physical trim to meet the highly touted Coast Guarders who have defeated three Navy challenges in convincing style this summer. - e NAVY CREW IN HEROIC RESCUE SEATTLE, July 27—Sailors of the battlship Pennsylvania = this afternoon rescued Mr. and Mrs. George K.

C. Bingham, associated with E. L. Graves in the building sup- ply business, arrived in Ketchikan J on the Vietoria from Seattle berthed at the Alaska Juneau Dock for the purpose of unloading a car- go of mine supplies. Outside the gates of the dock, the Alaska Mine Workers’ Union had maintained a picket force on Lower Front Street practically all night. At 7 o'clock this morning, when Deputy United States Marshals and city policemen took up positions near the gate, the pickets were es- timated at 50 men. Again Refuse After the ship had berthed, the winches did not move. Delegate Cox, when asked by Wilcox earlier to have a crew of longghoremen at the dock to unload the supplies, had told the Alaska Line agent again that his men would not go through picket lines to work. Arrangements were then made to have the regular Alaska Juneau longshoremen crew handle the freight. However, marine union men, temporarily, refused to move the supplies. Two delegates—one from the Sailors’ Union of the Paci- fic and another from the Pacific Coast Firemen, Water Tenders and Wipers Association——went ashore to send advices to Seattle, request- ing advice from their headquarters as to what action should be taken. Still In Port At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, the Victoria was still at the Alaska Juneau Dock, while marine union delegates awaited telegraphic in- structions. She was to have sailed for S8kagway at noon. It was substantially reported in the city, earlier in the week, that the local ILA had received instruc- tions from its district headquarters in Seaftle that the present walkout of the Alaska Mine Workers Union was not authorized by the ILA. However, Delegate Cox denied this, and Wilcox professed no knowledge of such a repart. —— e —— BRISTOL BAY QUERY MADE ASTORIA, July 27.—A demand that vhe Oregon delegation launch a congressional investigation as to why salmon fishing in Bristol Bay, after being closed, wa¥ “reopened for the exclusive benefit of one packing company” was made by the Columbia River Fishermen's Pro- tective Union resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees, ARRIVES, PORT ‘The Peggy O., carrying the Dan- iel J.
