PELLiGRi AND THE

Original Idea rs TO Origin Of Mysicra

The Increase OF pellagra In the

death rate from this disease was actu-

.EITEL GETS
 OFF IN STORM
GERMAN CRUISER BELIEVED TO HAVE ELUDED
 ENEMIES.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-That the German converted cruiser Prince Eitel Frederick shot suddenly out of New port News last night during a snow storm and eluded the waiting cruisers and is now freely once more plough ing the Atlantic in search of allied shipping is the belief in this city. However, the wires are down this morning and no definite word has been received from Newport News. A terrific storm accompanied by a thick snow fall ragged last night along the coast. The story is that when Captain Thierichens of the Eitel saw the storm coming he quickly got ready and as the storm was at it's height he weighed anchor and slipped out to the open sea. The storm was such that it would be next to impossible for a cruiser to see or catch the EiteI and it is fully believed that she has escaped. She was formerly one of the German Lloyd liners on the Atlantic and is very speedy As merchant ship she was under the command of a German merchant captain but Cap tain Thierichcns of the imperial navy was given command of her when she was converted into a cruiser at the beginning of the war. Since his ar rival at Newport News, ThierichenG has always declared that he would again sail away but so risky did the proceeding promise to be that he waj thought to be bluffing. The episode forms the chief war subject along this coast today.

SEEKING LOST TREASURE
 ON THE RENAL RIVER.
Another Story of Hidden Wealth Comes From Our Own
 PrOsaic District.

Over on the Kenai river, Deputy Game Warden Ericson says, some men have taken up again the search for a treasure supposed to have been hidden there by the Russians. Mir. Ericson has seen himself several old shafts and dumps dug by the Russians long before Portage Bay got the idea that it would be a railroad terminal. He returned the day before yesterday from that quarter and at that time the search was on. There are two stories about that gold. One is that it was hidden by convicts, but for the sake of local color convicts are always dragged into stories of Russia. It is said that some of the natives have nuggets in their possession from the hidden bunch but that they keep it quiet not to let the whites get too wise.

GREAT RUSH
 FOR SEWARD
JOSHUA DAWSON COMES WITH BIG OUTFIT FOR CROW
 CREEK.

That the greatest rush in the his tory of the north Pacific coast will occur to Seward the very minute President Wilson officially tells where the work will begin is the belief of those who came up or the Evans. Joshua Dawson, a brother of Dick Dawson, who has come to open opera tions on Crow creek, says that the papers and others are trying to keep the people back for the present but that thousands are just crazy to get on the move to Resurrection bay. Mr.
 Dawson is taking nine men to Crow creek to establish their saw mill and electric lighting plant and he will also complete the work on their big dam
 His brother, Dick, will leave Seattle April 15 and the intention is to have the dam and everything else ready for the beginning of operations. Thirty men will be employed for the summer.

NEWS NOTES

B. H. Howard arrived on the Evans and will be with the Miners store this summer.
 Karl von Thiele, the well-known moving picture man from the interior, arrived on the Evans. He has been particularly interested in the Pathe Weekly films.
 J. F. Mefferd, builder of Seattle, has arrived in Seward to make his home and engage in business.
 Among passengers on the steam ship Admiral Evans arriving from Seattle this morning were two can nery crews of Chinese from Portland. Thirty-two of the 0rientals under foremanship of Moy Chee are fer the Seldovia cannery and 29 under Fox Gee are for Port Graham.
 John Collins, who mushed out from Ship creek last week after lumber for a pool room which he is building at that place, was a passenger on the Admiral Evans today for Seldovia, re- turning to the creek.
 S. S. SOper started for Ship creek on the Evans today, to open barber shop.
 J. c. Holman who is on his way home will get off to spend few days in Juneau and come on the nexi boat or so.
 No new candidate announced him. self today fer election to the city council so that the total number of candidates so far is twelve. Each of those twelve seems to think his cleo tion sure but it doesn't seem to figure out right considering that there are only seven places to be filled. The election question seemed to cause less talk today than yesterday or the day before but that might be because a boat came in.

Those people of Valdez who believe in the Territorial policies of Delegate wickersham, and are earnestly fight ing for the maintenance of the city dock, met m convention on Saturday evening last at Pioneer Hall and nom mated a municipal and school ticket
 The nominees for council are: A. VonGunther, F. NJ. Boyle, Gus Djarf, Edwin Austin, Ross Hockey, H. P. King, and Edwin Wood. The nomi- nees for schools officers were H. M. Delano and Thos. DOnohoe. Mr. Don oboe has given notice that he declines the nomination. Mir. Wood objects to running on the ticket as a Wick ersham ticket. A second primary will probably be held to fill all vacancies as that provision was made at the first meeting. An acceptance will be necessary as candidates cannot get on the ballot after a certain time under the "force bill" recently passed by the old council.

FUR FLIES IN THE
 TERRITORIAL SENATE
Hot Debate Over the Location of the Federal School of
 Mines.

JUNEAU, April 3.-Fur flew in the senate yesterday over the question of recommending to the administration the location of the proposed federal school of mines. Each delegation wanted the school for it's own particu- lar district and some very "hot" re- marks were passed. Another spirited debate took place over the distribution of funds and on the whole the session was remarkably earnest one, 70 say the least. Gaustad and Sutherland made strong fight to have the mine located at Fairbanks. But the whole matter lies, of course, with the feder- al government. The governor has signed the wolf bounty bill. Thi' measure has been fought for long time by Senator Sulzer to save the deer in southeast Alaska.

LUMBER JACK
 MURDERS FOUR
SHELTON, WASHINGTON IS SCENE OF HORRIBLE
 BUTCHERY.

SHELTON, Wash, April 3.-A logging camp at this place was the scene of a frightful occurrence yes terday when o. Steele, a dismissed logger, was overtaken with homicid- al mania and killed three employees of the camp before committing suicide. He attempted to kill fourth man before turning the gun on him self but he succeeded only in severely wounding him. Steele has been dis missed from the employment of the camp a day or so before the murders and evidently blamed some of the men he killed for being the cause of los ing his job. His actions were accomp- lished with thorough determination and many others would have fallen victims to his frenzy had he been given the chance.

FINLAND MAY
 BE THE NEXT
RUSSIANS HEAR THAT GERMANS WILL INVADE THAT
 COUNTRY.

PETROGRAD, April 3.-That Fin. land may be the next country convert ed into battle fields seems likely from the information which has reached the Russian government. It is learn ed today that Russia ic concentrating large forces along the Baltic shores of Finland to be ready to repel an at tempted invasion. The Germans ar, said to have received appeals from the leaders of the Finlanders to land an army to aid revolt to be started by Finland itself to gain it's freedom, The newspapers are already calling for the execution of the traitors but the full facts relating to the matter are not yet public. The Russians have now engaged in offensive move ments from the Baltic to the border of Roumania. The Germnas are be- ing forced back in North Poland and a series of fortified ridges in Lup- kow and Uszok passes have been talk en from the Austrians.

NEW STREETS
 FOR SEWARD
HISTORY TOLD IN TERMINAL ADDITION BY AVENUE
 NAMES.

The streets and avenues in the Terminal addition to the town of Se- ward have all been named and the names suggest with a sort of poetical ingeniousness the whole story of Se- ward and the construction of the gov. errment railroad. The addition was purchased by Joe Johnson, the asses sor of Chelan county, Washington, who went out yesterday to his home town. By reading the names of the avenues from north to south and placing all the names together we have it suggested that from that point We can see the railroad terminal while the names of the president and secre- tary of the interior are thrown in to pay compliment to these great friends of Alaska, although their names ap- pear as part of the story which the titles of the avenue tell. Thus, the first avenue to the north is View Avenue. The next is Woodrow Ave, and so on until by reading the names of all the avenues from top to bot tom we have View, Woodrow, Lane, Government, Railroad, Terminal, Se- ward, Alaska. Across run the streets intersecting those avenues and by reading the names of those streets from east to west we have Outlet, Matanuska, Navy, Coal, Fields.

WANTS EMBARGO
 ON EXPORTS
CONGRESSMAN SAYS THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
 WILL SUFFER.

NEW YORK, April S.-COngress- man Metz of New York declared that an embargo on goods shipped to Eng land will be found to be necessary for this country to make Britain raise it's blockade of the German and Aust rian coasts. He says that if the Brit ish blockade is enforced it will mean throwing three hundred thousand men out of employment in the United States and that such condition of affairs will be worse for Americans than a panic. He is supported in this view by an immense number of New York people. He is known to be a sympathizer with the cause of the Germans but he is even backed up by some who are on the opposite side.

HIGH TREASON
 IN BOHEMIA
LONDON MORNING REPORT TELLS LITTLE OF WARS
 PROGRESS

LONDON, April S.-A municipal councillor and twenty other officials of the city of Prague, Bohemia, have been found guilty of high treason against Austria. The charge was that they had given information with the purpose Of aiding the attack against the empire. They will probably be shot. The news from the different seats of war this morning is meager. Everything is quiet in the west but the French are making a determined attack with the intention of reaching the road leading from St. Mihiel to Metz.
 A Dutch schooner was submarined in the North sea yesterday. Che of the crew was drowned and seven are missing. It is assumed that the schooner had supplies aboard for this country.

U. s. OFFICERS
 LEAVE GERMANY
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SENDS OUT OMINOUS
 ORDER.

BERLIN, April 3.-The United States government has ordered all United States army officers who are attached to the German armies as observers to return home. The reas- on for this extraordinary order is not known unless it can mean that Wash ington wishes to show it's irritation at the accidents to American ships and American sailors at the hands of the German ship commanders. A few papers here suggest that the order means nothing else than that the United States is about to interfere in Mexico while at least in one quarter it is suggested that the American government sees danger of war with this country looming up. The latter idea is secuted, however, in most places.

WILLARD IS

ODDS NOW SIX TO FIVE. AGAINST JACK
 JOHNSON.

HAVANA, April 9.-Willard is now favorite in the great fight to take place here for the heavyweight cham pion next Monday. The betting to- day is six to five on Willard and lots of Willard money still in sight. The hard hitting qualities of Willard are chiefly depended upon to bring him victory. There is feeling that if he gets in a real blow at the negro the bout will be quickly concluded for he is unquestiOnably the hardest hitter appearing in the ring for many long year, The Johnson crowd, however seems to be just as confident but their confidence has not. tempted them to put up enough money to reduce the odds against their man.

BUFFALO LOST
 AT SHIP CREEK
GETS INTO ICE, INJURED AND HAD TO BE
 REACHED.

The Buffalo was lost three days ago near Ship creek according to informa- tion received over the long distance phone from Mile Thirty-four today Her loss was due to the fact that she got into the ice at Knik and drifted through it to Ship creek where a storm came up and battered her so badly against the foes that several holes were knocked in her hull while the engines also went back on her and made it necessary to beach the little vessel. She is a gasoline craft of about fifty feet in length. No mishap came to anyone aboard.
