SATURDAYS STORM
 DID MUCH DAMAGE
Dutch Steamer With Crew of Fifty Is Believed To Have Gone Down.
 Much Property Lost.

NORFOLK, Va, April 5.-Reports received here from points along the coast indicate that the storm which swept the Atlantic coast line last Sat urday did millions of dollars worth of damage to property and caused the loss of many vessels which were un- able to put to sea and ride out the storm.
 The Dutch steamer Maruits is be- lieved to have gone down and her crew of fifty drowned. The vessel sent in an s. O. s. call for help, re- porting herself in sinking condition and several boats made an effort to locate the ship and rescue the crew but were unable to find her. Coast guard ships and naval vessels are still hunting for the Dutch steamer but fear that she has foundered.
 Wires connecting the coast cities are down and details of the damage done are still lacking. a

Biz Battle In Carpathians.

LONDON, April 5.-The battle for the control of the passes in the Car pathian mountains continues and the Teutonic allies have been driven back after one of the most stubborn bat ties of the fighting in the east. The losses on both sides have been heavy. The Austrians at first won number of minor successes but the arrival of strong endorsements caused the withdrawal of the German-Austrian troops. The Germans still hold many strongly entrenched positions but are expected to abandon them and retire to second line of defense, which has been constructed in order to prevent the Russians sweeping into Hungary

GREASERS KILL
 MANY FOREIGNERS
Refugees Reach San Antonio and Tell of Death of Twenty-Eight
 Foreigners.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 5.-Ar. rivals here from Mexico City report that twenty-eight foreigners have been murdered in the Mexican capi. tai in the past few weeks and that outrages against foreigners continue Property is constantly being destroy ed. Thirty-six stores owned by for. eigners had been footed before the refugees left the city. Property worth millions has been stolen or de. stroyed.

 Feeling along the border is grow. ing strong and the federal troops do. ing patrol duty have been doubled and will prevent any raiding from the American side into Mexico.

 In several rounds Johnson's aggres- siveness made him wild and he clinch- ed in an effort to recover himself.
 In the 26th round Johnson had clinched with Willard and was look ing over his opponents shoulder at his wife when Willard broke the hold and drove his big fist into the blacks face with such force that the cham, pion went down and out.
 The arena was packed and the man. agers and promoters of the fight will

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The own. CTS of the American bark, William P. Frye, which was sunk in the Pacific by the German converted cruiser Eitel Frederick, have filed claim for $22S,OOO for the loss of the vessel and her cargo, and insist that the State Department collect the claim from the German government.

make considerable money. Sports from all parts of the world were at the ring-side, American fight fans, however, composed the larger part of the men at the ring-side.
 Johnson was confident in the first round but Willard's boring in made him settle down. The black tried to trap the big white, but the Californian was cautious and as the fight pro. gressed Johnson weakened. In the ninth round the black was wild, but rallied in the thirteenth and delivered some vicious blows The fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth rounds were almost even. Johnson was the az gressor in the eighteenth but Willard delivered some telling blows. John. son received the worst of it in the .clinches when the white sent in ter rife short jabs that weakened his opponent. When the fight was over the Gu bans, who had bet heavily upon the black, jumped into the ring and tried to reach Johnson in order to get re- venge, but the police and troops drove them from the building. The Cubans lost heavily while the sports took in considerable money, as they were all backing the white hope.

several hard blows. Willard had the best of the first two rounds.
 The next seven rounds were the fastest seen in championship fight in many years and the sports at the ring-side were wild with excitement as they urged their champions into the fray and encouraged them as the bat tie went on. The women who were at the ring-side climbed on chairs and shouted and yelled for their favorites. The white man clearly had the crowd with him from the start.
 The betting favored Johnson in the beginning, 10 to 8, and thousands of dollars changed hands as a result of the mill.
 The men mixed it in every round and Johnson was on the aggressive up

GOOD MEN FOR CITY COUNCIL

He has continued at the head of that enterprise ever since.
 MT. Ethical was a member of the Valdez council from 1904 to 1911 when he declined reelection. A year later he was induced to run again and was elected in 1912 and 1913. Last year he refused to run, and is can. didate now only because his friends forced candidacy upon him. He has never been defeated and is too old to begin.
 MT. Ethical has been member of the Valdez fire department during all his residence in Valdez, and has been chief since 1908. He has given it a great deal of time and is entitled to much of the credit for its efficiency.
 Ed. Wood.
 Ed. Wood was born in Fort Col lins, Colorado. He spent his youth and early manhood as a cow-puncher in the mountain states between Mex ico and Canada. The gold fever brought him to Skagway in 1897; he moved along to Valdez in 1898 and this town has been his headquarters ever since. After bucking the pros pecting game several years he went into the draying and freighting busi' ness in Valdez in 1900 and has kept at 1t ever since.

HAVANA, Cuba, April 5.-Jess Will lard, the big white hope from Cali fornia, sent Jack Johnson, the smoke, to the floor for the count in the 26th round of the fight for the heavy weight championship of the world which was pulled off here this morn ing.
 The fight was one of the best ever seen and the fighting was fast and furious. In spite of the report that Johnson was soft and would not last the big black was in excellent condi- tion and fought a better fight than he put up at Reno, when he sent Jef- fries to the discard. Willard took terrific punishment, but came back every time, fighting game battle until in the 26th round he found an opportunity to put the knockout blow home by smashing Johnson terrible drive in the face, which put the black on his back, where he remained until after the count, when he was picked up and assisted to his dressing room a beaten and broken fighter to be add. ed to the long list of men who could not come back.
 The first two rounds Johnson was careful but Willard was able to land
