liAUTO CRAZE HAS
 HIT EMPLOYES OF
 CITY" SAYS LYNCH
Member of Board of Apportion- ment Scores Extravagance
 Of Job Holders.

''The auto craze permeates every city department and it is now shift ing from pleasure cars to auto trucks" 7" declared pr. Robert J. Lynch at the meeting Of the board of ap- portionment yesterday afternoon when the petition of the park com missioners was considered for the transfer of $250 from the new horses account to the appropriation of $S,- 500 for an auto truck.
 When our committee heardN the park commissioners on this matter they told us that sS,5O0 would be si1f- cient for all equipment of this truck and there would, be no extras. Now they come before this board asking for this extra money. I move that the transfer be not allowed"
 Dr.. Lynchs motion prevailed. Be- fore the doctor had objected when the board of education asked for transfers of accounts involving $18,- 900.
 Why at the meeting a few days us that only $2,000 was involved in the transfers that would be asked, = said Dr. Lynch. Now the board is asking for so much money that it is really confusing. William B. Board7 man, secretary of the school board explained that it had been the inten- ton to ask for the transfers at the earlier meeting but there were so many that all could not be figured up in time and the figures had not been prepared. City Attorney w. H. Comley, IT,, had given the board an opinion that they had a right to make the appropriations.
 On motion of Commissioner Kirk it was voted that the board set aside sufficient funds to meet the deficits in teachers and janitors' salaries and that the other amounts asked be in vestigated by the committee of the board that handles the school boards appropriations These are the items for which the school board asked money:

Fairbanks Inventor Constructs Six Wheeled Auto from Two Old
 Fortls for TOlOvana Service.

FAIRBANKS, Oct. 29.-N. G.. Cox, the Chatenika hotel man, be- lieves he has solved the auto trans portation question for the Tolovana camp for the winter. He recently purchased the two Ford machines which Bob Sheldon cut down last winter to operate on the Fairbanks Chitina run, and has constructed a six-wheel car which he believes will overcome the difficulties experienced by Sheldon.
 The front wheels of one of the cars were removed in order that it might be attached to the rear of the other machine, giving him a four wheel drive with exceptional high power for a light machine.
 The road to Tolovana is reported to be in condition and Cox will leave Chatenika on his trial trip at an early date. The experiment is being watch ed with interest by the miners of the new placer camp who are hopeful of securing cheaper freight and regular mail service if the elongated machine will work.

MATCHES IN BOYS COAT CAUSED FIRE
Committee Investigating ? str"ction of School Attaches No Blame
 to the Sisters.

PEABODY, Mass, Oct. 3O.-The funerals of twenty-one of the chill dren Who were cremated when the pa rochiaI school here was destroyed by ire last Thursday, were held yester- day afternoon when the entire city followed the little bodies to their last resting places. The funerals of the other victims of the fire will be held this afternoon and Sunday and busi- ness was suspended during the serv- ices. The city is shrouded in mourn ing.
 The board appointed by the state government to investigate the cause of the fire which resulted in the loss of sixty lives and the destruction of property valued at more than $5OO,- 900, has filed it's report The commit tee has determined that the fire origi~ mated from matches which one of the boys had in the pocket of his coat in the cloak room and that no blame is attached to the Sisters under whose management the school was conduct ed.
 The Investigating board, however, censured the inspectors for failure to see that the building was properly equipped with fire escapes as testi- mony of firemen shows that many of the children burned could have been reached from the windows had escapes been provided.

Murders Wife and Child, and Wife's Family.

BOISE, Idaho, Oct 30.-William Cameron, one of the best known hotel men in this state, last night murder ed his wife and baby, Mrs. Camerons parents, her brother-in-law and then committed suicide. The tragedy re- suited from Mrs. Cameron, who was much younger than her husband, hay ing started suit for divorce in the court here.
 It is believed that the tragedy oc- cured late last night but was not dis covered until this morning through the failure of Cameron to reach the hotel at his accustomed hour. He is reported to have been drinking heav- lily during the past week since his wife began her action for divorce but none of the couples friends believed that he intended violence.
 The home of Mrs. Cameron's par ents, where the tragedy was enacted, showed that the five people had been shot down without a chance to defend themselves or escape from the drink crazed man.

Cruiser Overhauls Yacht Which Had Been Fitted Up to
 Raid Commerce.

NORFOLK, Oct. 30.-It is report ed that the German officers of the in- termed warships Friedrich and the Kronprinz Wilhelm, who broke their parole and escaped from the United States in launches were overtaken by an Australian cruiser while off the coast of Bermuda and sunk. The Germans had been met at sea by a yacht which had evidently been fitted up to begin ravaging the commerce of the nations holtile to Germany.
 Details of the sinking of the yacht have not been made public but it is believed that another conspiracy will be revealed through the investigation ordered by the navy department to as- certain how the Germans were en- able to secure launches to take them out to sea to meet the yacht.
 Immediately after the Germans had taken their departure in launch wireless messages were sent broad cast to the United States warships at sea to investigate every suspicious craft along the coast and effect the capture of the parole breakers if pos sible and it is believed that Secre- tary Daniels also caused the Allies to be notified of the German officers had escaped.

TEXAS HORSES FOR
 ALLIES IN FRANCE
lively Purchasing Animals and Feed in the South.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 30.- Twenty thousand horses and fifty thousand tons of hay have been shipped to the Allies from this dis trict during the past three months, and has caused the price of horses and feed to be advanced to the highest point in the history of the state. Agents of the European governments are reported as active in all southern states purchasing horses suitable for cavalry and it is feared that many of the farming districts will face short age of horses to carry on their spring operations.
 There is strong opposition here to American horses being sold to the European nations for war purposes as no organized effort has been made to stop the heavy shipments which have been going across the Atlantic in a constant procession since the war began, Agents of the Allies buying horses here have admitted that the life of the average horse after he is taken to the front in France is only la few weeks owing to the excessive |hardships to which they are exposed.

 Bombarded by Fleet.

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-The Balkan situation reached crisis yesterday when the Allies decided to send an ultimatum to King Constantine of Greece demanding that he immediate Iy declare war either for or against the Teutons, and it is believed that similar action will be taken in deal ing with King Ferdinand of Ruma- mia Greece is given limited time to reach decision and unless the an- sver is favorable to the Allies the cities on the Greek coast will be bom- harded.
 British diplomats who have been in Greece dispute the report that King Constantine has entered a pact with Em] Tor William whereby Greece is 10 i0M the Teutons and points to the known terms of the agreement be- tween Bulgaria and Germany whereby Bulgaria is promised Serbian terri tory coveted by Greece as well as the portion of Macedonia ceded to Greece by Bulgaria following the war of 1912.
 1t is admitted by the British war 0fIice that the Allies are unable to send troops to the assistance of Ser bia and that the central Balkan state must be crushed without the assist ance of Greece as the unnatural neu- tYality of King Constantine is men, ace to the armies which the Allies are sending to invade Bulgaria from the south.

SEWARD OFFICE MAY BE ABOLISHED
Reported in Seward that District At- torney is Soon to Close Office

The Seward Gateway prints story to the effect that District Attorney Spence is planning to abolish the of- flee of assistant district attorney at that place and transfer Assistant Dis trict Attorney Whittlesey of Seward, to Valdez.
 The Gateway says it is known that District Attorney Spence has wired the department at Washington for permission to abolish the office and urges the people of Seward to get busy and work for the retention of the office as it will compel all per- sons having business with the court to come to Valdez.
 Seward, being the ocean terminal of the government railroad, believes that she is entitled to the office and will make a strong fight to retain it. District Attorney Spence is now at Seward, and it is believed that an of- ficial statement concerning the plans of the department will soon be an- nounced.

 &"If you are descended from Revo lutionary ancestors, as I am, who gave or offered their lives to throw off English tyranny and break the English dominination of the seas, yo, must resent as I do. the cool inso lence of these English agents who asl us to lend them more than the con tents of the United States treasur, when they have blockaded all thu ports of Europe against us. seized hundreds of millions of dollars wortl of our exported and import goods and now even interfere with our trade in South America.
 "I have a right to know whether |: dollar of mine would go into this An, glo-French loan if continued depos iting in your bank"
