WASHINGTON, March 27.-Attor- ney General Gregory has expressed the opinion that President Wilson has the power to contract for the pur. chase of either or both of the Alaska Northern and Copper River railroads in Alaska. as we'll as continue con- struction of railroads to the full amount of the $35,0OO.OO0 as author ized by congress.
 The opinion of the attorney general was in answer to an inquiry from Secretary Lane as to whether Presi- dent Wilson had the right to con- tract in excess of the two and one. half million dollars actually available for the purchase or construction of railroads in Alaska. The secretary is informed that the president is fully empowered to go ahead and purchase the roads and begin construction with

SUBMARINE F-4
 BEEN LOCATED
Sank To the Bottom of Honolulu liar. bor Where Water Is Three Hun-
 dred Feet Deep.

HONOLULU, March 27-The Amer ican submarine F-4, which dived in the harbor here Friday afternoon and failed to come to the surface again has been located by drags used by warships. The submarine is resting on the bottom at a point where the water is three hundred feet deep. All efforts to raise the submarine have failed and it is believed that the crew of twenty-five men have per ished.
 The oil used by the submarine for fuel is coming to the surface and it is believed that some accident to the machinery happened which prevented the craft from discharging the water taken in to enable her to dive.
 The work of trying to grapple the subnfarine still continues but it is believed that she will be broken to pieces as she has slipped from the cables several times and sank again to the bottom.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 27.-The fact was revealed in court yesterday afternoon during the election fraud cases that Tom Taggaru, of this city, and former chairman of the Demo. cratic national committee, had fur. nished bail for Mayor Roberts, of Terre Haute, when the latter was ar- rested for election frauds last Mo- vember.
 Taggart is not charged with hay ing been implicated in the election frauds in any way, but the fact that he gave bonds for Roberts is being used to discredit him by the Repub- lican press of the state.
 The prosecution has asked that Mayor Roberts be apprehended or that the amount of his bond be in. creased to ensure his appearance in court when his case is called.

CANNOT RETURN
 THAW ID ASYLUM
Justices of Appellate Court Believe Recent Verdict Cleared Him of
 Charge of Insanity.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The re- cent acquittal of Harry K. Thaw on the charge of conspiracy to escape from Matteawan asylum has still fur: ther complicated the legal entangle' ments in the case. Two justices oi the appellate court say that they are in doubt as to whether Thaw can be legally returned to the asylum now after being acquitted of the charge of having conspired to escape from the asylum.
 During the conspiracy case Thaw's attorneys submitted evidence as to his sanity with the approval of the court and holds that the ruling of the court in allowing the evidence vir- tually established his clients sanity. He Is emphatic in declaring that Thaw will never be taken back to Mattea- wan despite the efforts of the off cers of the asylum to have Thaw railroaded.
 Thaw's attorneys assert that there is no course other than to permit his client to return to- New Hampshire, as he cannot legally be returned to Matteawan and cannot be detained in The Tombs. The charge is made that the state prosecution fears to permit the insanity case to come to trial in view of the court having ad- mitted Thaw's testimony during the recent case

NEW YORK, March 27.-At a con ference of New York's principal bank CTS held yesterday it was decided to extend credits to the governments of Great Britain, France and Italy in financing their purchases of supplies in America.

GOMPERS TRYING
 SETTLE STRIKE
Builders Workers Union of Chicago Threatens To Call General
 Strike Now.

CHICAGO, March 27.-President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor arrived in Chi. cago last night and is trying to pre-. vent a strike of the Building Trades Workers union. The present work. ing agreement with the Master Build. ers' Association terminates on May 1 and Gompers believes that the un. ion will lose support by breaking it's agreement.
 The Building Workers are demand. ing an increased wage scale and bet. ter working conditions. They are op. posed to handling any building mater. ial from shops and mills where open. shop or non-union men are employ ed. Several thousand men have al- ready quit work and a general strike is feared.
 President Gompers hopes to avert strike if the men will return to work. allowing a months time to reach settlement of the demands. The strikers claim that the Master Builders are already engaging men to fill their places and will refuse to treat with them concerning new agreement when the present contract expires.

 Negotiations for the purchase of the Copper River road have not been progressing for some time but will probably be resumed now that Pres. ident Wilson and Secretary Lane can make a definite offer to the Morgan interests for their road. That the price was agreed upon several months ago when Mr. Morgan conferred with Secretary Lane is not doubted, but it believed that the cash payment re- quired was such that negotiations were given a setback by congress linn iting the appropriation this season to $2,O0O,OO0. It is believed here that the government will purchase both the Alaska Northern and Copper Riv- CT roads.

JONES ACCUSED HAVING CURED INFORMATION FROM SOURCE IF RECOMMENDATIONS
 FOLLOWED CORPORATIONS WOULD CONTROL

JUNEAU, March 27.-Lester E. Jones, United States Commissioner of Fisheries in Alaska, was given se- were paning in the senate yesterday afternoon. He was referred to as the "junketing commissioner" and it was alleged that he had secured all his information from one side of the fish ing interests and had made no ef- fort to learn how the other side would be affected if the many changes rec eommnded by him were inaugurated.
 Jones' report, in which he defend ed the use of traps and attacked seining, is declared to be in the in- terests of the big fishing corporations who desire to keep down wages and stifie the activities of independent fishermen by reducing their number. It was asesrted that there is not a fisherman on the coast of Alaska who is not better qualified to judge of the extent of waste caused by traps in comparison to seining than Commis- sioner Jones.
