$t,6O9,276 FIRE ALARM
MONEY MOSTLY WASTED
System as Far From Real Begin
ming as Four Years Ago,
Says AdamsOn.

A large part OF the sf,609.27s appro-
prlated by the city for a new fire alarm
telegraph plant in various years since
1908 has been used for other purposes in
the department. according to statements
made by Fire Commissioner Adamson 10
Mayor Mitchell and the Merchants Associa-
ton The association has been trying for
Il long time TO find out where the money
went. and Mr.. Adamson has provided the
Information. The association has asked
the Mayor to order An investigation by
the Commissioner of Accounts
In his letter to the Mayor ". A. Marble,
president OF the association, says:
Despite the expenditure OF II sum SUM-
ciently large to pay about one-halt the
total cost OF new fire alarm system the
construction resulting from such expendi-
lures Is applicable in but very small de-
gree TO the purpose intended, and there
fore tho fire alarm system as II exists to-
day is not substantially better than at the
beginning OF the improvements. so that in
a practical sense the OUTLAWS thus far
made have been In very great degree
wasted"
Nearly half OF the money, according to
Mr. Adamson. has gone to pay salaries, 20
buy automobiles, and s65, 9l2.s6 OF II was
even diverted to buy fire extinguishing
apparatus. OF the work done under the
Appropriations that amounting to $3.50
$50 may he Incorporated IN the new sys-
ten when II is built. but MIR. Adamson
finds that IL consists Of Isolated pieces Of
construction, the linking OF which would
make the final cost wasteful. He goes on /:
THE manner IN which this money has
been expended shows an entire lack Of
any broad comprehensive planning for the
new fire alarm system. The result Is that
the city is almost a. far from a real be-
tom az Il was four years ago. This eN-
perience shows the futlllty Of attacking a
big problem such as this in plecemeal
fashion"

GRAVE ANXIETY IS FELT
 BECAUSE OF DISAPPEARANCE

Word was received in Seward yes terday, says the Gateway, of the possible loss of one King Thurman, a well-known prospector and trapper os the Lower Lake country. Thur man left his cabin a trifle over a month ago, and with only his dog for company started on a prospect ing trip in the vicinity of Trout lake. He left a note in the cabin stating where he was going and that he would be back in a couple or weeks. Parties calling at the cabin saw the note and became alarmed at the non-arrival of Thurman and g searching party was organized to try to locate the missing man, but so far no trace of him has been dis covered One feature of the disap- pearance that leads his neighoors to believe that he has met with an accident is the fact that his dog an inseparable companion to the missing man, returned to the cabin some time ago, and men who know the dog say that it would not desert its master as long as he was alive A couple Of parties are now in the hills looking for Thurman.

MAY SUPPRESS
/. LONDON TIMES
Asquith Severe in Commons
on Hysterical
Press
TO PASS LAW
AGAINST 1T
Denials of War Office Verac-
ity Stirs the Cab
met

London, Sept. 1.-The direct threat
that certain OF the London newspapers
which have published hysterical accounts
of the reverses to the allies on the con-
tinent may be suppressed, was made In
the House of Commons yesterday
by Premier Asquith.
The censor of the continent has
passed number OF stories, chief OF
them one TO the London Times, which
declared that only bits of the British
regiments were left after the sustained
fighting of last week which carried the
British south from Mons, Belgium, to q
point well south of st. Quentin, France,
a retreat OF more than fifty miles. This
story of the losses was directly contra
dicted by Earl Kitchener, the war sec
rotary, who placed the losses at 5000
men and described the retreat as or
derby and well conducted,
The issue of yeracity thus arising has
embarrassed the government.
Referring to this sort of news it may
become necessary for the government
to enact special legislation which will
prevent the circulation in the future"
said the premier.
This announcement overshadowed all
else yesterday. The London newspapers
have been chatting under the extreme
censorship and doing their best to eyade
lit. To-day's announcement means that
the government intends to not only
maintain it, but to act in drastic man
ner against papers opposing it.
There was no news from the scene of
war. The German allegation that they
have cut the lines of communication
from the channel with the British forces
in France is denied at the war Office. 1t
Is stated there that the road TO the con
tinent is open and swill be kept open"
whether Paris is besieggd or not.
1t is accepted that the British columns
are again in action in France. The gen
eral German advance from the north was
renewed at dsybreak yesterday and
there is no reason to doubt that the
British army, heavily REINFORCED, Is
again in position on the firing line.
Stories OF heavy firing off the German
coast continued to gain circulation yes
terday. There was no confirmation,
however, of reports that the fleet has
again been engaged.
With the announcement that a New
Zealand expedition has occupied German
Samoa the report is persistent that an
Australian expedition has been sent to
occupy German New Guinea.

Paris fbv mail to New York.. Sept I.
Those who have heard the story OF the
white-haired woman, living in a little
village near Paris, in a house whose shut
ters were always closed are thrilled with
one of the most touching stories Of the
war. No one could remember when the
shutters Of the old woman's house had
been opened or when il had not always
appeared solitary and sad, but on the
day France declared war the shutters
were Suddenly opened and from every
window appeared the tri-color The old
house took on a new life. That even

the woman who lives there was known.
Walking through the village the aged
woman made her way to the fort.

The commander granted the request Of
the woman and each day one OF his men
goes to the house and dimes with her.

that as he loft the house he saw the old
woman kneel before portrait yelled

from deep mines. The gold production
was larger than in any other year ex-
cept one since 1864 This great output
was due entirely to the operations OF
the dredging companies and the larger
deep mines, as the number OF mines op-
Grated in 1918 was PAS less than in 1912.
OF the gold recovered from placer
mines the gold dredges reported $1,000
2e4. which was nearly 02 per cent. of
the placer gold and nearly 30 per cent
of the total state yield in 1918. Since
the commencement of gold dredging in
California, Is years ago, the gold recov-
cred from this source has amounted to
1863. sos, 4s5 Most OF this large yield has
been derived from ground which could
not have been mined profitably under
any of the old methods OF gravel mining.
The 4l0 deep mines sold or treated 2,495-
a5s tons of ore. a decrease of l45,539
tons, compared with 1912. Most OF the
