FAIRBANKS, March 16. - Fair banks held a special election yester- day to decide whether the people would accept the law passed by the last legislature, providing for radi- cal changes in the methods of cleo tion of town councils and town off cers. This law allows the towns to change the present system so that instead of electing seven councilmen they elect six councilmen and mayor. voting for the latter separately, and as such. It also provides for the election by the people of the city clerk. city attorney and city treasur- CT. The people of Fairbanks showed but trifling interest in the matter and most of the voters refused to go to the polls. According to the count. Sections and 4 of Chapter 50 of the 1915 Sessions Laws were ratified by a big majority, while Sections and ' of the act were rejected by vote of 160 to 152. Therefore, when Fair banks voted regularly on the first Tuesday in April, the people will elect mayor and six councilmen, but the town officers will be selected by the common council as heretofore. Less than half of the qualified voters took the trouble to express their opinion on the matter. the general apathy over the issues being marked.

SUBMARINE, CHASES
PASSENGER VESSEL
Sighted in Pursuit of Danish
Ship With Americans
Aboard.

New York, Oct 14.-When the
White Star freighter Bowie sighted an
eastern bound submarine in the A.
lantic yesterday morning she was ap-
parently in pursuit OF Danish pas
senger ship, the Hellig Olav, accord
ing to observers on the deck of the
Bowie, which arrived here today.
The nationality of the submarine
was not established. The Bowie, in
fear of attack because of being a
freight ship, put on full speed and
headed directly west. At the time
that she passed out of sight of the
other two vessels, the Danish boat still
seemed to be endeavoring to escape
from the submarine. The weather
was clear and the Hellig Olav was
between two and three miles distant
at the moment she was first observed,
with the submarine about one milo
astern. This was about $50 a. NJ,
when the Bowie was approximately
200 miles east Of New York.
The Hellig Olav left here on
Thursday for Copenhagen and other
Scandinavian ports, carrying So pas
sengers in the first cabin, 81 in the
second cabin, and Storage passengers.
Many of those in the cabins are
Americans
At the time she was sighted by the
Bowie reached, the Dane was flying no
flag but her identity was distinguished
by her name and the Danish flag
painted along her sides. The Bowie
reached port with a gun mounted at
her stern.
representatives Of the Scandina-
vian-American line said here today
that the HelIig Olav carried no con-
traband and that they did not believe
that the vessels captain would under
take to escape from a submarine.
The line has sent a wireless mes
sage to the ship asking for an &C.
count of the circumstances.
John L. Hall, Sandy Hook pilot
who steered the Bowie through Am
brose Channel, said that Captain J. J.
Jones Of the Bowie told him of sight
Ing the Hellig Olav with submarine
apparently in pursuit, and that Capt.
Jones added:
IF had been close enough I'd have
fired at the submarine, but at a mile
and a quarter it was a difficult shot,.
