October 1, Ward T. Bower, Alas ka agent of the.U. s. bureau of fish cries. held a hearing at the Seattle office of the bureau upon the matter of prohibiting all commercial fishing in the following waters of Southeast Alaska; Barnes lake, near lake bay. including all Its tributary waters and it's outlet; Hetta river and lagoon, in- cluding all tributary water; and sockeye creek, the outlet of Boca del Quada hatchery waters, together with its tributaries, and an area or zone above streams.

as empowered~by congress to issue S4OO,OOO,0OO worth of bonds for the construction ot the Panama canal if he saw fit. That has never been done, and if there should be any great shortage of funds in the treasury, the president would have the auth.,r- ity to issue the Panama bonds and re- place the money in the treasury which was spent for the construc- tion work on the canal
 But even this will be unnecessary Delegate Wickersham thinks, as the administration will be able to secure enough money by direct appropria- tion to carry on the work which was started here year ago last spring.
 That the administration is deter mined to do everything it can for Alaska is evident from statements issued for Secretary Lane and by in formation obtained by the Alaska en- gineering commission.
 AS long as the people of Alaska back the administration by boosting for the work on the government rail- road, the members of the Alaska en- gineering commission have expressed themselves as believing that Presi- dert Wilson will have no difficulty in getting any appropriation he may ask for.

ITALY MAY AVOID
WAR With AUSTRIA
Rome Hears Latter Govern
ment Has Made Many
Liberal Concessions
ITALIAN PARLIAMENT
TO DECIDE ISSUE
BY The United Press.

ROME, May l1.-That Austria's re-
ply TO the Italian ultimatum has open
ed the way for further negotiations
was believed certain here today, de-
spite the failure of the government to
make any statement regarding the
matter. II is known that up until
late last night the military officials
we're working az fever heat with mill
tary preparations and Prince Won
Buelow, the German ambassador. had
confded to friends that he feared he
would have to leave not later than
Wednesday. Following the receipt Of
the Austrian answer. however. the
tension seemed relieved II was sug-
gested in diplomatic circles that Aus
tria had made far more liberal con-
cessiOns than had even been thought
possible and that they would be care
fully gone over before any Warlike
move was made.
The parliament is due to reconvene
tomorrow and IL is not believed any
definite statement Of what is going on
will be forthcoming before then.
While the Austrian concessions may
keep Italy out of the war just at this
juncture, II is expected that further
pressure will be applied by the allies,
who are yet 10 have their say on
whether they will be willing that Italy
can recede from her promises of as
sistanco.
The situation is again complicated
and because of the secrecy imposed
by the government rumors of every
sort are prevalent and go unchal-
lenged officially.

By Mo uniied Press.


LONDON, May 11.-Although many
Britishers still insist that war is the
only solution compatible with Ameri-
can honor. there Is an increasing ten
dency observable both in the press
and public to let the United States
handle the Lusitania situation in its
own way. This changing attitude is
largely due to the sympathetic appre-
citation by most of the British CORES
pondents at Washington and New
York OF the tremendous burdens war
would entail complicated with the
problem OF the German-American
population.
The American navy would not be
needed and il would require year to
organize and train an army sufficient
ly strong to be of any nppre-
ciable assistance TO the allies. One OF
the most popular suggestions here is

Fatally Burned While

FRANK CRAY HAS Hands
Scared IN AIDING Her

Mrs Rosie Wolf. aged 81 years, Of
No. SO2 King street. was probably
fatally burned in the rear yard Of her
home shortly before s o'clock this
morning, when her clothing ignited
from a pile Of waste paper she was
burning. Frank l.. Gray. manager
of the d. w. Lynch Company grocery
store, which occupies the first floor
front Of the King street address. who
discovered the aged woman afre in
the yard. was burned about the
hands while endeavoring TO extinguish
her burning clothes.
Mrs. Wolf was rushed to the Homeo-
pathic Hospital in the Phoenix ambul-
ance. Physicians there said she
had slim chance of recovery. The
woman was horribly burned, the flesh
hcnging from her fingers and arms
in shreds. while the hair was burned
from her head.
Just how the fire ignited Mrs.
VOLTS clothing is not known, she be-
ing alone in the yard at the time.
She had started a fire of waste paper
in the rear of the yard and after her
clothing caught and she was en-
veloped in flames she went to the
front of the yard. where she was dis
covered by Mr. Gray. 1t Is thought
that while placing paper on the fire
her clothing caught fire, and realizing
her danger, she rushed towards the
front of the yard to summon Mr.. Gray
or help from the Lynch store, which
opens into the yard.
Like human torch when she reach
ed point near the Lynch store, she
set fire to rubbish there and for
awhile it appeared as If these flames
would ignite the building. Mr.. Gray
whose attention was attracted by the
flames shooting several feet into the
air, looked from the rear door anC
