FOUND HIS MONEY
 IN HIS OWN GLOVE.

w. J. South who has been advertis- ing for money believed to be lost has found the missing treasure in one of his own gloves. The advertisement may be remembered as having ap- peared in the Gateway some days ago. The lost purse contained S22O in cash as well as checks, etc. The banks out side were notified and the federal and municipal authorities here were all busy in the search. Just as all hope of recovering the money had passed Mir. South went to put on his gloves yesterday, for the first time for sever al days. Inside one of the gloves something lumpy barred the entrance of the digits. Lo!-It was the lost money. This all happened in Lucky Baldwin's caravansery. Mir. South now remembers distinctly getting up one night and placing the money in his glove for safe keeping. He hid it so ingeniously that he forgot the place himself.

PETITIONS TO FIX
 STREETS TAKEN UP.
City May Have Engineer to Grade Streets and Make New
 Sidewalks.

The petitions from the residents of Second, Third and Fourth avenues for the grading and other improvements to those thoroughfares were read last night at the city council meeting and the matter was referred to the streets committee. The residents of Second avenue want grading and wood side walks, the residents of Third avenue want the streets graded also, and con crete sidewalks in addition to grad ing is asked by Fourth avenue. Coun- cilman Chamberlin moved that Third and Fifth avenues be declared busi- ness streets from Railroad avenue up to Adams street and on that part of those streets the sidewalks will be ten feet in width. It was also decided to let the street committee look into the matter of securing g city engineer for the work.

RUSSIA ADMITS, HOWEVER, THAT AUSTRIANS ARE
 ATTACKING.
ADVANCE IS CHECKED
INVASION OF HUNGARY AP- PARENTLY NOT MATER
 IALIZING.

PETROGRAD, April 2O.-The Austrians are now delivering per sistent attacks on the southern slopes of the Beskid mountains to which the Russians had progressed in the at tempt to invade Hungary. Our troops are still attacking in the Uszok pass district but so far as the official intelligence goes no change has taken place. There is an inclination to ad- init that the story from Berlin to the effect that the attempt to invade Hungary has been checked has good foundation although there is hardly thought of any danger to the Russian army in it's present position. It is officially admitted that the fighting in the Carpathians is slackening and this is not regarded as favorable here but it is quite likely that the coming of the spring thaw has brought about the decrease of activities and not the achievements recently brought up by the Austrians and Germans. In the rest of the eastern front the spring thaw has without doubt halted the fighting. The roads have been converted into veritable quagmires and the moving of heavy artillery and supplies has come to be a matter of exceeding difficulty. While the Rus sians cannot hope to make much ad- vance towards German territory un- der the circumstances it is certain that our positions are safe from Ger man offensive movements. Fighting of a spasmodic nature breaks out from time to time along the line but it is only like the shooting of little flames from smoldering pile.

BIG ACTIVITY HERE SAYS RIGGS
GERMANS FIRE
 THE RED GROSS
ORGANIZATION REFUSES TO ADOPT METHODS SUG-
 GESTED.

BRUSSELS, April 2O.-The Ger man government of Belgium has ordered the dissolution of the Red Cross organization that was working on the relief of Belgian distress. The dissolving of the society is due to the refusal of the leaders of it 70 adopt the plans suggested by the German authorities for carrying out the relief operations. It is now proposed by the German governor to establish a sub stitute body which will be directly under his own control. The organiza tion which has been dissolved had a membership which included people of various nationaitieS, amongst them Americans. The exact nature of the difference of opinion between the Red Cross and the German governor is not made clear.

TO QUIT THE
 DARDANELLES
LONDON ANNOUNCES NO AC- TION BE TAKEN THIS
 MONTH.

LONDON, April 2O.-It was an- nounced this morning that no further action will be taken by the allied fleets in the DardanelleS this month. Added to the announcement is the statement that action will be delayed for reasons which have nothing what ever to do with the ability or lack of ability to force the passage of the channel to Constantinople. It has been suggested rather than reported that the ships available at the pres ent time for the work are not sufici- ent owing to the necessity for guard ing the British islands from possible attacks by the German fleet. It is al' so thought that the land forces re- quired in northern France and Fland- CTS will be so large that the dispatch of an adequate land force for an at tack on Turkey would not be advis- able.

ROME PERSISTS IN REPORT ING ENDING OF
 WAR.
GREY VISIT IS TOPIC
NOTHING SAID AS TO TERMS OR ANYTHING
 ELSE.

ROME, April 2O.-Persistent rum ors are aAoat in this city to the effect that a general peace is in sight in Europe. Some of the newspapers have actually gone the length of de- claring that pourparlers have been en- tered into by some of the representa- tives of the beligerent powers with view to arranging for the conclusion of hostiities. The reported visit of Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister, to this city seems to confirm the opinion that the powers are be- coming tired of the struggle and fear ful of the horrible consequences which are now becoming apparent. If Grey has arrived in this city the gen. eral public is not aware of the fact but it is more than likely that if he has come he came incognito in spite of the published London rumOr that he had left that city for Italy. The rum ors aAoat hold no suggestion as to the terms upon which peace would be like ly but those rumors continue with a persistence which cannot be ignored It is the general opinion here now that the allied fleets have failed to pierce their way to COnstantinople while the Russians have been checked in the Carpathians. On the other hand Germany has failed to reach Paris and Warsaw and the outlook promises nothing more than a dead lock with a holocaust which would be sure to be followed by epidemics dur ing the summer that would cast in the shade the mere loss of life by fight ing. The government officials have rather strengthened the belief that peace proposals are being now con sidered by their refusal to answer questions relating to the matter. Re ports also have it that Italy will be the chief arbiter and that Rome will be the scence of the peace conference should it come,

At the city council meeting last night the stalking of the government term inal property Sunday cropped into the discussion in connection with the pre- paration to be made for the coming of strangers. Dr. Romig had suggested that hospital tent be provided and it was suggested that the government property might be used. The mayor stated that Judge Brown has said it was possible the government property could be used by newcomers for tenn porary homes. "All that is staked now" said Borgen. Deputy Marshal Evans says that stalking is no good" answered the mayor. It seemed to be the opinion of the council that it had nothing to do with government property, anyhow, and could make no arrangements about a site there for anything.

JUNEAU SOLONS ONCE MORE CREATE NEW
 WORK.
LIQUOR QUESTION UP
WILL RECONSIDER BILL DEAL ING WITH DRINK SHIP
 MENTS.

JUNEAU, April 2O.-The territor- ial senate now stands committed to the abolition of capital punishment in the territory of Alaska. A fight was led by Tanner, backed by Gaustad and Hubbard, to reconsider the bill but this fight failed and so the senate stands on it's former belief that hang ing should not be inflicted on mur- derers.
 Declaring that the house bill pro viding that all liquor shipped to peo- pie in Alaska must be shipped direct to the consignees only and not to any fictitious persons would kill the whole sale liquor trade in Alaska the meas ure has been recommitted to confer ence for further amendment. The purpose of Representative Shoup in drawing the bill was to prevent boot leggers from securing liquor in the names of other people, Or labelled as soda water or merchandise.

CARRANzA IS
 SURELY VICTOR STORY OF BATTLE CONFIRMED AND VILLA LOST SIX
 THOUSAND.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-COnsul- ar dispatches received here last even ing connrm the story that Carranza defeated Villa at the battle of Celaya and inflicted losses of the most severe kind on his former chief aid. The dis patches say that the Villa army suf- fered the loss of six thousand men in killed, wounded and taken prisoners The fight is described as one of the bloodiest in the history of Latin American revolutions. It lasted six days and heavy artillery of large calibre was used by both sides.
 The United States consular repre- sentatives in Mexico do not, however, say what the result has been as to the disposition of the Villa army but 1t is assumed here that it has merely retreated in good order.

SYRACUSE, April 2O.-The jury has been selected to try the libel suit brought by William Barnes, jr., again st Theodore Roosevelt whom the com plaint charges with libel alleged to have been committed during the re- cent gubernatorial election. The jury is a political one and this is probably due to the belief that the questions to be solved have political bearing. Of the twelve jurymen seven are representatives. There are three pro- gressives and two democrats in the body. The evidence will probably not begin before tomorrow but in the meantime large amount of interest is being taken in the proceedings.

RIGGS MAKES STATEMENT ABOUT WORK ON
 RAILROAD.
WILL OPEN THIS ROAD
COMMISSION C EVIDENTLY WANTS THE SEWARD ROAD
 FOR COAL.

WASHINGTON, April 2O-That there will be a tremendous amount of development work accomplished this year between Ship creek and Seward is the statement made today by Thomas Riggs, jr, a member of the Alaska government railroad cOmmis- sion. Mir. Riggs states that the rail- road construction work will not be by any means all of the activities on Kenai peninsula this year as he eX- poets to see very many mineral claims developed when the railroad is in operation. This is taken as Sug- gestion that the Alaska Northern rail- road will be prepared for operation at once. Riggs declares, though, that the very first work this summer will be the building of some new road from Ship creek and the connecting up of the Alaska Northern in order to take care of the Matanuska coal. He en- tered into no further details of the in- tentions in that quarter but, he says, a survey is under contemplation from Mile Thirty-eight on the Copper River road in order to get into the Boring River fields which may be developed later on. Surveys are also under con-  temptation, it is understood, with a view some time of building towards Nome.

AUSTRIA'S TIME
 DECLARED OVER.
PARIS BELIEVES LIMIT GIVEN BY ITALY COMES TO-
 DAY.

PARIS, April 2O.-It is reported here but not officially that the time given by Italy to meet the Italian de- mands ends today and that the failure of the Austrian government to re- linquish the territories asked by Italy will result in an immediate declara- ton of war. The report has come direct from Rome where, it is said, preparations of significantly active kind are now afoot.
 Advices coming indirectly from Vienna are not calculated to create the belief that Austria will accede to the Italian demands so that the peo- pie of this mountry are expecting an immediate beginning of hostiities be- tween those two countries.

PREPARING FOR THE BIG RUSH NOW START
 ING.
CITY TO BE KEPT CLEAN
STREETS WILL BE GRADED AND MADE
 READY.

The new city council got down to work in fine shape last night and, a.- though the harness is still new and stiff, the newly fedged aldermen worked like a good, willing and intel ligent team. Various matters of the greatest importance came up and the city fathers evidently realized the fact that they have come into office at a most important period in the city's history when much work must be done and done carefully. The first act was to have placed on the records the expression of the appreciation of the new city council for the work Of Mayor Boe and the last municipal governing body.
 The applications for positions under the council were then read out by the clerk and showed a formidable array of men who are willing to serve the city as marshal. The applicants for that position are: Bob Guest. Bert Milliken, Charles Johnson, F.. B. Allenbaugh, Gus Manthey, W. W. Alderman, J. C. Holman and C. $. Patten.
 The applicants for clerlship and magistracy were Frank Cotter, w. T. Lucas and Carl Amy.
 Judge Lindley Green is the only ap- plicant for the office of city attorney, another applicant having withdrawn. The applications were laid over for one week and other applications may be received in the meantime. A re- port was read from Dr. Romig, city health officer, in which he recommend ed that preparations be made to keep the city clean during the rush when a great influx of people might create the danger of infectious diseases. He suggested public toilets and water and also that a garbage wagon be us- ed to gather the refuse which the tent dwellers and others will be required to place in cans.
 The council discussed the question at length. Councilman Youngs sug- gested that men be put to work at once to clean the streets. He stated that he had seen the Bank of Seward and that the bank will cash all wage warrants without discount. Council man Borgen said there is no money in the treasury but Councilman Dag gett suggested that the finance com mittee and the street committee get together to devise plans by which the cleaning of the city could be effected without causing a financial hitch During the discussion it was either suggested or decided that an eight hour day for city work be established that fifty cents an hour be the wages that the cleaning work, etc. be let out in small contracts and that the city be divided into improvement districts. After other work of more or less important nature the council adjourn ed to meet again next Monday at a special meeting.

WAR IN WEST
 DRAGS ALONG TRAWLER SUNK AND GER MANS ACCUSED OF
 MURDER.
CLAIM WINS
BRISK FIGHTING IN WESTERN LINE BUT WITHOUT
 CHANGE.

LONDON, April 2O.-The war in the west shows very little change but the British have won an important position near Ypres and u French have been similarly sa tssfdl in the department of the Vosges. Brisk fighting has been proceeding for the past twenty-four hours along nearly the whole western hde but the changes wrought in the relative posi- tions are almost negligible with the exception of the successes named. Heavy artillery duels have been talk ing place along the Mouse and on the Lorraine border but both sides are stationary and no infantry attacks have followed the bombardment by either side. One of the most regret table occurrences of the whole war took place yesterday in the North Sea where the Germans sunk a British trawler and the whole crew was drowned, while another trawler which tried to rescue the drowning men IS said to have been fired upon by the Germans and also sunk with all hands in spite of the fact that Jhe was en- gagged on an errand of mercy. The weather in the western theatre is now bright and warm with occasional spring showers and the people of this country hourly expect to hear that the great advance by the allies in north ern France and Flanders will be com menced or attempted.
