BLAME SIR CONAN DOYLE
 FOR SUBMARINE BLOCKADE

LONDON, March 25-"Neutral Observ CTS" statement in the London Times that according to wellnformed Germans, the idea of the submarine blockade of England was borrowed by their government from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story, Danger" " published last spring has grleved the author.
 The story get up the mythical country of Norland, which reduced England to starvar, ton by just such system of submarlEe attacks as is now proposed
 T need hardly say that it IS very painful to me to think that anything have written should be turned against my own country, said Sir Arthur 'The object of the story was to warn the public of possible danger which I saw overhanging this country and to show how to avoid that danger.
 My reason was that after studying the subject I concluded that the submarine of the present was not capable of the results which I depicted but it still is my opinion that if this war had been delayed five years, and if the submarine during that period had gone on improving as rapidly as it has done in the past, England would have been placed in a most serious position, exactly as out lined in my story

CONSTANTINOPLE'S DEFENSES

At the town of Dardanelles, the small city on the Asiatic side of the Strait of Dardanelles which connects the Sea of Marmora with the Aegean sea, during the war between Italy and Turkey over Tripoli thousands of unmanageable Turkish troops were massed just outside the town. It IS said that the Ottoman government did not dare have the undiscipGned soldiers any nearer Constantinople, fearing what they might do.
 The Dardanelles is strongly fortified on both the European and Asiatic sides, the principal forts being known as Khilid bahr, the Castle of Europe" or Lock of the Sea" and Tchanak Kalessi, the earthenware castle of celebrated manufacturer, or Sul tanieh kalessi, on the Asistc side, The town of Tchanak -Kalessi, in English known as Dardanelles, IS situated on flat point just opposite the great fortress now equipped with powerful Krupp guns-Ex

FISHERMEN ORGANIZE
 TO COMBAT FISH TRUST
Petersburg Progressive)

Since early last fall men of ability have been busy devising ways and means to or ganize for mutual protection against the fish trust. It was not, however, until recently that the leaders succeeded in bringing enough together to assure success. A few weeks ago large number of the interested fishermen met and reorganized the old Southeastern Alaska Fishermen's Association on a different basis. The present organlza- tion, which is supported by men of unques- tionable business ability, has mapped out a line of action which, if strictly followed, will materially benefit the fishermen. The new organization, as some have preferred to call it-is not to resort to strikes and other simi- lar proceedings, but rather to dispose of the fish, the wages for their labor, in an open market. To that end the organization has delegated one of its members to attend to that part of the business, and through him the disposition of the fish will be made The unreasonable prices paid the fisherman at times for his fish have forced him to seek more equitable fields for his labor The or ganization nas been completed and is now in full control of the situation.

ALLEGED ANARCHIST PLOT
 WHICH STIRRED NEW YORK

NEW YORK, March l3-Further details of the plot of the anarchists whose attempt to blow up St. Patrcks cathedral resulted in their arrest have been made public by the police The detectives had been in formed of the activities of the would be dynamiters for months, and were prepared for them when they made their escape.
 The arrest of the dynamiters was fol lowed by the announcement from police headquarters that arrests made during the last few months of dynamlters had blocked the anarchistic plot to kill with bombs An drew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller Jr., and other wealthy men.
 Failing in this policy, the anarchists SC cordng to the police, had determined upon inaugurating 8 reign of terror comparable only with the days of the French revolution in Paris. It was planned to destroy the public buildings schools and churches
 The police assert that the plot contem- plated that gangs of men, armed with rifles and revolvers, were to appear simultaneously in various parts of the city and begin campaign of pillage and slaughter.
 The wrecking of the cathedral was to be the signal for the opening of an elaborate campaign of murder and footing.
 A move was made, according to the police to place bombs under the homes of Car negie. Rockefeller and the Vsnderbilts. With these out of the way, other capit alists were to be disposed of
 The anarchists, the police say, lmmedl- ately following the first blow that was to be struck in many sections of the city st he same moment were to invade the hnan- cia district and lay bombs to the city's biggest banks, and general footing WAS to follow
 The police state that the ringleaders Of the movement are either under arrest or will be soon

MORE COMPREHENSIVE ORDINANCE

The discussion of the dog nuisance at Wednesday nights council meeting has been the means of unearthing an ordinance of much wider scope than the one that was read to the city fathers. Under it's provl sions it is unlawful to allow an unmuzzled dog to be at large within the corporate limits of Iditarod between the first day of May and the first day of October of each year.
 The ordinance is numbered 37, and is en- titled "An ordinance providing for the cap ture, sale and destruction of dogs running at large within the corporate limits of the town of Iditarod'
 Section provides that dogs more than six weeks old shall not be allowed at large unless muzzled Section provides for the appointment of 8 poundmaster and pre- scribes his duties Sections and following sections provide for the fees of the pound master and how they shall be collected. In case of failure to pay pound charges the animal impounded is to be sold or killed, after notices have been posted.
 The ordinance was passed and approved May 5. 1912 and became effective on that date
 It is presumed that under the authority given by the council on Wednesday last it will be the policy of the city government to enforce this ordinance ss well as Ordl- nance No. 28.

UNITED STATES CONSULATE
 AT DAWSON TO BE CLOSED
Dawson News

Dr. G. M. Faulkner, American vice consul at Dawson, received a telegram recently from the state department at Washington stating that the Dawson office IS to be closed, and that the seals, press record, books, stamps, stationery and flags are to be shipped at once to the American consul general at Vancouver. The furnishings of the Dawson office are to be disposed of. Detailed instructions as to the future repre- sentation of the American government here will be received probably before long, and it is probable that all Dawson business will be handled through the vice consul, the same as that of Whitehorse. Dr, Faulkner was appointed last fall. George c. Cole has been the consul here several years He is now visiting bis old home in West Virginia. The American consulate at Dawson was established shortly after the big stampede into the Klondike took place, and MT. Mo Cook, now dead, was the first consul

UNBELIEVABLE CONDITIONS
 REVEALED BY STRIKE
iNeW York WOrldl

What is to be said in excuse of the shock ing conditions under which hundreds of thousands of workers in the fertilizer plants of Roosevelt, N J., with their families, are condemned to live?
 For housing, miserable buildings over crowded and without ventilation, where filth, vice and disease share quarters with poverty; so-called dirty homes" without any privacy, where children are born, live their little term and die in squalor and wretched neglect, and where immortality fiourishes as an inevitable consequence of the surroundings; hotbed for tuberculosis and other diseases from which men and women and their children have no hopes of escape; no schools where the laborers may learn how to better themselves, only work under foul unsanitary conditions and no provision for the care comfort or health of the workers-it is ghastly situation that the great fertilizer trust and its nelghbors have created for their own immediate profit.
 Then if the men strike after their wages have been cut to the point of starvation they are shot in the back by gangs of hired gunmen, and the great corporations that use them and cast them of like refuse prate piously about law and order and the rights of property.
 The state of New Jersey tolerates these things under supposedly humane laws; it permits this running social sore to remain as it is and expresses mild surprise that the rest of the country should be aroused at the sight. For the promotion of its sacred industries it has winked at the brutal ex- ploitation of cheap alien labor and shut its eyes to the welfare of poor foreigners who are helpless to protect themselves. How much longer does it purpose to permit the greed of its corporations and the indifference of its big employers to disgrace its name?

In fact, there were many who be- lieved it even until today, when firm of solicitors wrote to the newspapers:
 Lieutenant Colonel George Cornwallis West, who has been in continuous command since September of one of the battalions of the Royal naval division which were pres ent at Antwerp, has been much annoyed and feels justly indignant at persistent rumors which have been going around to the effect that he has been shot as a spy Colonel West desires to say that he is alive and we'll"

measures to the swarm of vicious brutes that nfests our streets"
 An Anonymous Letter
 Somewhat of a sensation was produced when Mir. Ansley produced an anonymous letter which he had received through the postoffice that day. It was written on an envelope and inclosed in another, and villl- fled MT Ansley in profane language and threatened him with vengeance if he did not withdraw from his attitude on the dog question" There was an awkward attempt to disguise the handwriting MT. Ansley said that if the letter was a joke 1t was crude brand of humor and if it was a serious threat it would fail of it's purpose, as he could not be intimidated. He urged the passage of the motion and the strict en- forcement of the ordinance
 Ordinance Will Be Enforced
 Mayor Stanton took the floor and dis cussed the motion in rather deprecatory manner, and Councilman Weir said that there was ample authority for taking care of vicious animals.
 Councilman Riley heartily seconded the remarks of Mir. Ansley He said that while he lad no desire to work hardship on any body, something should be done to abate the nuisance, and that it should not be postponed until something dreadful had happened.
 Further remarks were made by Smith Riley and Stanton, and the motion was put and carried unanimously.
 Adjournment was then taken to the call of the mayor.
