4 telegram announces the failure of Alfred Dolge X Son, manufacturers, of DOlgeville, Herkimer county, N. Y. The liabilities were stated at Sl, 250, ,OO0 and no estimates of assets was given.
 No failure in recent years has been more surprising than this, for the req son that this firm has long been re- garded as extraordinarily prosperous. No failure could be more regretted than this will be by millions of people all over the country, for Dolge X Son were supposed by millions to have solved great industrial and social problem.
 Profit sharing, an alleged equitable division of profits between employers and employed, between capital and labor, had been tested for years by this firm, and each succeeding year the con. tinuous and increasing success of the plan had been announced. The Post, although it gave publicity to these cheerful announcements, did not be- lieve that they indicated a solution of ''the labor problem" or pointed the way to permanent industrial peace and perpetual prosperity. The Post has all ways contended that it was not sound business policy to share profits without any arrangement for dividing losses in business. Unless the profits earned in good years are so placed that they may be drawn upon for losses in bad years, disaster must come unless all years are good. And that is scarcely possible in any line of industry: at any rate it can not be assumed in advance and made basis of a partition of net earnings be. tween the owners of factory and their operatives.

CHICO, Cal, March 10.-Shortly be- fore o'clock this morning a messen- ger came hurriedly into town with news that a tragedy had occurred on the Bidwell ranch, two miles from this city. Marshal Mansfield, Constables Woods and Chubbuck and Deputy Peck. to- gether. with several others, hurried to the scene. Before they had reached the ranch, however, they met Hale and Waltz, proprietors of the sheep ranch and employers of the two principals, bringing with them William Davidson. alias Williamson, who had shot and in- stantly killed William Mckinley, his working companion.
 Davidson and Mckinley had spent the night in Chico drinking, and had only returned in time for breakfast, after which both men went to their cabin, a short distance from the main house. They had barely entered the cabin. be- fore three shots were heard. Waltz, Hale and their foreman hurried to the cabin, at the door of which they saw Davidson standing over the body of Me- Ginley, sfeloading a pistol. Davidson ordered the men away, saying he would shoot the first one who ap- rf1dlG N6nI u lIle IOuSC 1OI a rifle, but before he returned David son came out from the cabin and sur rendered.
 On entering the cabin Mckinley was found with two bullet holes through him, one through his head. the other through his stomach. In his hand was clasped a large-sized pocket knife.
 Davidson claims that his victim as saulted him, and he shot in self-defense- It is believed, however that the knife was placed in the dead mans hand after he was shot by Davidson.
 Mckinley was well known in this. sec tion as a peaceable man. while Davfdc son has been regarded as tough char acter. It was only a few weeks ago that Davidson engaged in a saloon row and bit piece out of his adversary's lip. He has always carried a gun. and when drunk is ready to use it. Feeling here is very much against him.

WHITELAW A TOTAL WRECK.

SEATTLE, March 10.-The steamer Victorian arrived this afternoon from Skaguay Her officers report that the steamship Whitelaw is a total wreck, a second blaze burning her to the wa ter's edge. Captain Patterson thus speaks of the catastrophe:
 "The old San Francisco wrecking steamer Whitelaw lies on the beach near Skaguay, burned to the waters edge. Decks, upper works and every thing went up in flames. The wreck appeared to be complete, and I don t believe anything can be done with the small portion -unburned below water. The fire broke out in the forward hold Friday morning last, and after getting his passengers ashore Captain Dollard beached his boat. The big pumps with which she is provided began to pour streams of water into the hold, and at the time the Humboldt left it looked as if the fire was under control, and that nothing but the cargo would be lost.
 "The wind which was blowing in- creased into a gale, and the flames re- fused to down. They gained rapidly, and soon reached the engines and stopped the pumps Her officers and crew were finally compelled to leave her, and all got off safely. Consider able of the personal effects of the sixty passengers and the crew were saved. The rest of the cargo went up with the ship. We passed quite near her charred hulk on the way out of the harbor, and very little appeared to be left of it.

 SANTA ROSA, March 10.-Harrison Meacham, the Stony Point capitalist, ap- peared before the Board of Supervisors here to-day and filed a vehement protest against the heirs of the late J. c. Tubbs being allowed to erect drawbridge over Midshipman's Slough across from Tubbs Island, below Petaluma.
 The case involved is peculiar one. The law provides that permission must be given by the Supervisors, in conform ity with the State law, before a bridge or ot..er obstruction can be erected on a navigable stream, but the heirs of the did not wait for the permission before going aheau with the work, but erected the bridge first and asked for permission afterward.
 Owing to the prominence of the parties involved the case has created consider able interest througnout the county. Jus tice Henshaw of the Supreme Court Is attorney for the Tubbs estate, one Of the richest in the county.
 Harrison Meacham, who objects to the bridge being erected, Is one of the wealthiest men in the county, and he claims that the bridge occupies a site he that the land on his side from which the bridge projects WIS about to be sold to a rich brick manufacturing company or San Francisco, and that without the landing place the ground will be useless for their purpose.
 Legally the bridge does not exist but 1t is there nevertheless, and promises to make somebody no end of trouble before the affair is ended.

BOUNDARY OF
 ALASKA FIXED England and the United States Settle Their
 Dispute.
British Government Comedies the Claim Made by
 America.
Line of Denaarcation Fixed at Three Marine Leagues From
 the Coast
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 1,-A dispatch Julian Pauncefote. the British ambas- sador, has informed the Canadian Ministry officially that he has arranged a convention with the United States whereby the Alaska boundary dispute has been settled.
 Under the terms of the convention the British Government has conceded the claim of the United States that the three marine leagues should be meas ured from the shore of the mainland and should proceed along the shores of the inlets, which are thus recognized as arms of the oceans and not as rivers The contention of the British and of the Canadian governments was that the three-league limit should begin on the ocean side of the Island, and that the delimiting line should be run across the inlets and not follow the shores.
 These inletS are numerous and eX- tend into the mainland a great dis tance, and the decision, therefore, is of much importance to the United States.
 The United States has agreed to the British retaining the boundary on the limit of the Chilcoot Pass and the White Pass, because in the Russian British agreement of 1925 the line of demarcation was fixed as one running along the tops of the mountains
 The decision, while not entirely un- expected by the Cabinet, is regarded with disfavor. It is understood that the British Government was irritated at the forwardness of the Canadian Ministry, but it was not thought that the surrender would be so sweeping as it is.

ENGLAND'S OUTLAY
 IN NAVAL WORKS.
Official Estimates Amount to More Than Twenty-Five Million
 Pounds.

LONDON, March 10.-The First Lord of the Admiralty, the Hon. George J. Goschen. in presenting the naval esti- mates to the House of Commons to- day, pointed out that, with the outlay in naval works, the expenditure amounted to the colossal sum S25. .550,- 900 ($127, ,750, ,000), which, he explained, was even considered inadequate in some quarters.
 Continuing, Mir Goschen explained that the navy was in a transitional state, to which many of the admitted deficiencies were due. Moreover, he added, the Government was introduc- ing a series of improvements. The Ju- bilee display had been great, but the navy had not reached the ideal stand ard.
 Referring to the channel squadron, Mir. Goschen said 1t was the most pow erfuL ever gathered together, it's du- ties being not only to parade the chan nel, but to engage in offensive opera tions in time of war. Continuing, he dilated upon the quiet and unostenta- tiouS increase of the British fleet in Chinese waters by four vessels from other foreign stations, as being an in stance of the naval preparedness
 
 Admiralty would not be too hard press ed to communicate its plans. but he as- sured the House that in the distribution of cruisers, for instance, the Admiralty had considered carefully the protection of every trade and every food supply route. and he trusted that. If times darkened," the Admiralty would have the confidence of the House, and the Admiralty would be found doing It's duty.
 Touching upon the increase in the personnel of the navy, he said there was no lack of recruits for the service. In fact, only one in eight boys were accepted. and the supply of stokers was also improving. He denied that the navy was under-manned, declaring that every vessel which took part in the Jubilee review was as fully manned as it would be in war time. He admit ted there was a paucity of officers, but he explained that that would be easily remedied.
 The discussion was then dropped
