Refugees Gathered In Afognak
Island, Off Alaskan
Coast.

All of the refugees from the strick-
en- volcanic area of Alaska, to the
number of nearly one thousand, have
been gathered in Afognak Island, and
are being cared for by officers of the
Revenue Gutter Service.
The Katmai eruption was not as
severe as at first reported, and the
district seriously affected is not as
extensive as supposed. The fall OF
ashes was comparatively light, and
has ceased entirely. There is no fur
ther danger
Many houses in the devastated area
are still habita Bile, and the people will
be gradually returned to them. All
refugees are being fed on Govern
ment rations and furnished water
from the revenue cutter Manning.
Dispatches to revenue cutter head
quarters show that the damaged area
Is limited to Afognak Island, Kodiak
Island, and the mainland opposite
Kodiak Island from Katmai to Cape
Douglas.
Captain Perry OF the cutter Manning
Is in charge of the relief camp on

GOVERNMENT MAY
PREVENT SEAMEN'S
STRIKE IN FRANCE
Marines on Merchant Ships
Likely to Frustrate Union
Orders.

PARIS. June 19.-Nearly 100000 French
workmen are threatened with idleness
II the general strike. called for today
by the federation OF seamen, Is effec-
tive. The opinion here Is that the
strike will not be general, because Of
precautions taken by the government
to continue the mail service and to
man merchant ships with marines.
II the strike should become general,
however. In addition to the army OF
workmen made idle. over 1000 ships
would be tied up until the marine min
ister's plan could be put in force.
Torpedo boats are earring the mails
between France, Corsica, Algeria. and
Tunis. Work is being resumed at

Four vessels entered and departed at

James Cox, Congressman from Ohio
and nominee for governor, stirred up
no end of a row yesterday in the House
when he attacked the practice of de-
taching gentlemen from Government
service only TO pay them fat fees as
special counsel in trust prosecutions.
Minority Leader Mann made It the
occasion of a charge that the Demo-
Gratis, in attempting to do away with
tnls practice, were making direct bid

Congressman Cullop charged that the
gentlemen, who have resigned one Job
only to get a better one in the pecu-
har manner. referred to violated the
ethics of their profession. A half doz-
en- other members took part in the de-
pate, and charges of mixing politics and
justice floated in a cloud over the
thirty members who remained during
the session.
Additional interest was given the left
handed attack by Congressman Cox on
Wade H. Ellis. who resigned a position
In the Department of Justice and was
afterwards appointed special counsel in
trust prosecutions, because Ellis has
been regarded as a possible contestant
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor of Ohio
Cox draped his attack. however, in a
sarcastic reference to CONGRESSMAN n
Longworth. The latter had once as
serted that Ellis. who became chairman
of the Ohio State Republican commit
tee, was not to be paid out of depart
ment funds.
AS matter of fact, said Cox, Ellis
received $l4.500 in two years in fees as
special counsel

Joe Wood. premier pitcher of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, was winning games for
the Kansas City Blues five years ago
and later continuing his success on
the mound in the American League, he
was also winning a game far better
than the Washington-Boston baseball
struggle in which he beat Walter
Johnson-and this great game was
love.
The prize Joe Wood won in the great
game is Miss Laura OShea, of 2461
Forest Avenue. Wood and Miss OShea
will be married some time after the
worlds series" according to the bride
to-be.
The marriage will be the elimination
of a romance which started at Asso-
citation Park during Woods first sea-
son with the Blues.
When Wood moved up to faster
company he did not forget his most
ardent admirer back in Kansas City.
The two have kept up a constant cor
respondence. and Joe never failed to
visit Miss O'Shea each baseball season.
Miss O'Shea in turn has watched
Woods record in the big league with
ever-increasing admiration. He has
written her of his ambition to become
the greatest pitcher the world has
ever known. And If you doubt that he
