RUSSIA QUITS
 THE BOSPHORUS
LONDON RECEIVES REPORT THAT ATTEMPT IS
 ABANDONED.
CARPATHIANS IN DOUBT
VIENNA CLAIMS ONE THING AND PETROGRAD AN
 OTHER.

LONDON, April That the Rus sians have abandoned the attempt to take the Bosphorus by bonbardment is the report arriving here today The news has not been officially confirmed but there is reason to believe that the Russian fleet has been found unequal to the task of reducing the fortifica- tions to the easteward of Constantin- ople. No information was given out up to noon today as to the progress of the attack by the allied fleet On the Dardanelles where the bombardment was renewed yesterday The British owners have asked permission Of the government to be allowed to arm thei, ships as a protection against German submarines and the request may be granted. Conflicting reports come from the fighting in the Carpathians Vienna claims that the Russians have been decisively repulsed in their of fensive and particularly in the effort to reach Hungary. PeJrograd on the other hand claims that the losses to the Austrians are heavy and that the fighting is now proceeding in the northwest of Hungary. The latter statement may be quite correct but that would not mean that all the mountains have been passed. The Germans have abandoned the attempt to reach the coast through the Yser region and are shifting their main forces to a point west of Brussels evidently for the purpose of launching more extended attacks with the same goal in view.

AMERICAN KILLED
 WHEN LINER SANK.
Leon Thresher of U. s. Was Engineer of the Falaba Sunk by
 Submarine.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Serious trouble is again looked for between this country and Germany as a result of the fact that the engineer of the liner Falaba, sunk off Wales by German submarine, was an American. His name was Leon Thresher and he went down when the life boat to which he had taken was swamped by the ex plosion of the torpedo that sank his vessel. The state department has been formally advised of Threshcr's nationality and will at once take up the matter with the German ambas- sador. The loss of American ships and cargoes sink into insignifcance, according to officials here, when con- sidered in comparison with the loss of American life.

VERDICT SUICIDE IN [
 JACK DUHOLM CASE.
Shot His Dog First and Then Turned a Thirty-FOrty at His
 Own Heart.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in the case of Jack Duholm, whose body was found dead in a cabin in Moose Pass few days ago, was that he com mitted suicide. Commissioner Conroy and Deputy Marshal Ike Evans re- turned at noon today after holding the inquest. They found that DuhOlm had shot himself clean through the heart with a 3O-4O rife and that the oc- currence took place about the twelfth inst.
 A remarkable fact connected with the suicide is that Duholm shot his dog before turning the gun on him. self. For long time he had suffered from despondency and spoke of taking his own life. When he spoke in tha manner he usually ss d that before killing himself he would shoot his dog. Joe Lynholm who found the body came to town some day or two before the man killed himself. AS he was leaving the place Duholm asked him as a favor not to pass by the cabin on his way home without going in. From this it is supposed that DuhOlm had decided to take his life and wish ed to have his body buried. He left no word and had in his possession only a couple of dollars. Neither did no leave any account as to where his relatives lived but it is known that he was born in Schleswig Holstein, Germany. The body was buried.

ELEVEN MEN OUT
 FOR ELECTION
THREE MORE CANDIDATES SHOWED UP YES
 TERDAY.

Three more candidates for the city council showed up yesterday and the number in the field this morning is eleven. The chances are good that a few more will show up today, maybe before this is printed. The eleven names now up are: Daggett, Youngs, Myers, Ray, Revell, BOrgen, Sawyer, Chovin, Boe, Crawford and Chamber lin. Up to the present there seems to be no issue brought up. The chances for or against any particular candidate depend rather on the per sonal relations he has had with other people during his residence here. The likelihood is that new man in the town will have better chance to get elected than an old timer Pos Sibly frameups are being attempted on the quiet but such things seldom pan out right in these latter days. They are even disappearing from American politics where they had the longest life. In a small town they are never effective and next Tuesday without doubt each man will go to the polling booth figuring on nothing but what he personally thinks of each candidate in private or social life. The great body of voters will vote that way in spite of any old system worked and the only way we can guage the results is to learn how each candidate stands in a personal way with the majority, not with his own circle of friends. Good night to the man who lets his social ambitions is- olate him from the majority. That is the awfully momentous question, and about the only question, facing our beloved citizenship.
 There has been talk of "compro- mise" tickets and other kinds of tickets but the nature of these tickets and their component parts change with kaleidoscope quickness. The fact of the whole matter is that we all like to do politics. It is pleasant game and We "do" it just tO--be dO- ing it. It is probable that every man in town has drawn up ticket or two just as kids at school play fox and geese on their slates. For the next four or five days that government railroad must take back seat.
 We are going to have few more candidates yet. To be mayor this year will be to occupy place of some little importance because of the presence of government people and the necessity for representing the municipality in dealing with them. That position is probably the real and only plum"
 Charles Crawford brought to the office today the ticket known a. "The' Peoples Ticket" or, at least, that is the name those on it have called 1t. All those on the ticket have agreed to their names thereon according to Mr. Crawford. The ticket is made of Boe, Borgen, Crawford, Chambcrlin, Chow in, Daggett and Myers.

EIGHT HOUR QUESTION
 NOW UP AT JUNEAU.
Stamp Mills Under Five May Be Exempted From the
 Measure.

JUNEAU, April l.-The senate committee has refused to exempt from the eight hour day bill the Pacific Gypsum company. Exemption was asked by President Nichols on the ground that the work was not mining. The senate seems to be favorably in clined to include a section in the eight hour bill to exclude stamp mills under five stamps from the provision of the bill. This exclusion would be due to belief that small mills of that kind are owned by poor people who are not always able to employ men for their little mills.

THE RESERVE BANK ACT.

In another column we publish a
statement of the Federal Reserve
Banks. When the act under which
these banks exist was passed it was
claimed for it that interest would be
lower and the borrower would have
no trouble to get money. Indeed the
President claimed it was all that was
needed to make, with the tariff act,
the New Freedom" and prosperity
complete. Here and there in the
country bankers refused to join, and
gave up their connections as National
Banks rather than do SO. Here at
Hartford, the First National Bank.
under the advice Of Cashier ]. C. Ri
ley, refused to join and became a
State Bank under the name "Citizens
Bank" Mr.. Riley had a deep and
settled conviction that the whole VEN
ture would prove a failure. Many
others would have remained out If
they could have done so. Under the
existing conditions it was impossible
for many of them to do so. Now, it
looks as though Mr.. Riley was wise.
Not only are the Reserve banks not
giving any aid to those who want
mney, but they have withdrawn
from rural communities more than
three hundred millions dollars from
small National banks which might
have been loaned to the people, but
which under the red tape and circum-
lOcutiOn, necessary under the rules,
might as well be at the bottom of
the Pacific ocean. The man who can
comply with all the requirements,
answer all the questions and possess
all the backing necessary to get a
loan via a Regional Bank, either
don't need any loan, or can get it at
any old place. Besides, it now
transpires that the new concern will
not grease itself. In other words
the expenses are greater than the in
come and the members must come
forward with an assessment to meet
the deficit. The little country Ma
tional bank must put up again and
will either raise interest or call loans
to comply. Verify this appendage of
the New Freedom" swims no high

The South Turning To Protection.

The South Turning To Protection.
The Iowa idea" once so omnibus
to Republicans, is now about to be
paralleled by the Louisiana idea
in the Democracy. Both ideas find
their philosophic basis in Hancock s
innocent declaration that the Tariff
is a local issue.
In Louisiana the regular Demo-
cratic ticket is to be opposed in the
primaries by a Protection party
ticket" the candidates of which will
stand for the principle of Tariff Pro-
lection for local industries. This
principle is outraged by the present
Tariff, which disregards Louisiana s
sugar and rice interests.
But even the successes of the Pro-
lection party ticket would not mean
much in the way of restoring former
conditions. Consequently, Louisiana
will undertake an educational cam
paign in other States that have griev-
ances. such as Florida, which COM
plains that she can no longer compete
with Cuba in northern markets on
citrus fruits; Georgia, with sim
liar complaint; Alabama. reused over
free iron ore, and Texas, unfavora-
bly, affected in her rice production.
There are dark hints by Louisiana
politicians of a threat to break the
Solid South unless the national Dem
ocratic convention of 1916 comes out
for Protection to sugar, rice, citrus
fruits and iron ore.
However selfish this view, it is at
least manifestation of opinion up
on real issue instead of upon the
platform issue that has SO long de-
termined the casting of the bulk of
the Southern vote.-Bay City mich.
