There is one other league| contest still to be played, probably tomorrow evening, between the Le- gion and the Elks, but as both Leams{ are eliminated from any pennant! chance, that game will be but an anti-climax.

SECRETS Grand Jury Indicts John Farnsworth — Japan Conspirators Named WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. ~—Naming two Japanese Naval officers as con- spirators, the Federal Grand Jury has indicted former Lieutenant- Commander John S. Farnsworth for plotting to betray American military secrets. Assistant United States Attorney Samuel F. Beach said he had not sought the indictment of the Jap- anese officers, Yosiyuki, Ikira and Yamaki because they are protect- ed by diplomatic immunity. In a previous indictment, Farns- worth is charged with delivering a confidential Naval publication, un- named, to Japanese agents. Beach said he believed the Jap- anese officers left the United States some time ago. COMES TO JUNEAU, UNDERGO OPERATION Robert Cockburn, wellknown Ju- neauite, and a recent resident of Sitka, arrived here Monday for surgical attention. Cockburn had the misfortune to slip and fall, landing upon a pile of broken glass severely cutting his right wrist. It is now necessary for him to under- g0 an operation to relieve the stiff- ness: in the joint although the wound is entirely healed. According to Cockburn, halibut men fishing out of Sitka had their best season since 1930, also seiners, fishing for salmon, experienced an exceptionally good year. Cockburn reports the Pyramid Packing Company, whose plant is located at Sitka, will double last year's pack of canned salmon, which he estimates at 26,000 cases and this year's pack of approxi- mately 50,000 cases is already as- sured. ——————— DESTROYS PZUPERTY William Peterson of Cordova i° spending 20 days in jail in that city for throwing a rock through the plate glass window of J.
