AMERICAN AMBASSADOR AT W.
EMMA CABLES WASHINGTON IN
REGARD TO PERSIA.
SUBMARINE NOTE SEEN
Officer Of the Persia Saw Ripple in
the Water from Torpedo, Approach
ing Vessel, But Submarine Was Not
Seen by any Survivors.

Washington, Ambassador Penfeld
at Vienna today cabled that he had
presented informally to the Austrian
foreign office the United States re-
quest for information as to the sink
ing of the Persia.
Consul Garrcls at Alexandria has
reported that the afhdayts he had
gathered from the survivors gave no
further proofs that the liner was sub
.marined or regarding the crafts ma
tionality, than was contained in the
first dispatches.
Rev. Homer Salisbury, the American
missionary in India, who embarked on
the Persia at Marseilles, has been Civ
en- up for lost, according to the steam
ship lines report to London
The only statement that the liner
was torpedoed came from the officer,
who said he saw the ripple of the tor
pedo. No submarine was seen by any
Of the survivors.

CAPTURE BIC
BUNCH Of BOOZE:
IN oil FIELDS
U. S. DEPUTY MARSHAL'S CON-
FlSCATE NEARLY 100 CASES
INTENDED TO BREAK PRO-
TRACTED DRoUTH OUT THERE.

\. J. Chapman who is acting as q
special officer in the oil fields called
U. S. Deputy Hignight and Dow Bra
ziel yesterday afternoon and informed
them that he had nearly a car load of
booze located and asked them to come
and assist in the grand haul. The
man had corralled SO cases of whisky
Of various brands and degrees of puri-
ty, and that one of the alleged owners
of the wet goods was in the tolls. The
stun was one Of the largest hauls ev-
er made by officers in the fields, and
there will evidently be a protracted
dry spell for some time in the vicinity
of Ragtown The wisky runners in
the oil fields cause the officers of all
three counties many sleepless nights
as they are no sooner caught pulling
one trick then they bob up with anoth-
er TO outwit the law and get the stuff
to their willing customers.

Want Guns Dismounted.

Washington, ID. c., Jan 6.-The state
department will probably send repre-
sentations to Italy regarding the two
inch guns mounted on the stern of the
liner Giuseppe Verdi, arriving in
New York today. Passengers said the
government had instructed the guns
to be placed to repel submarine at
tacks. The American authorities
want the gun dismounted before leav-
ing New York.
The gunners of the Royal Italian
navy were in charge Of the guns, ac-
cording to the Verdiz captain, and
daily practiced hitting barrels in the
water as targets.

Reports Still Conflicting.

London, Jan. 6.-While the fate
of Czernowit2 is obscured in conflict
ing reports, it appears evident that
the Russians dominate the Bukowina
capital. Unofficial dispatches from
Petrograd state that the Austrians
have evacuated the town under press
ure from the Russians holding the
heights above it, while from Austrian
sources the information has been re-
Ceived that the Austrian troops have
been withdrawn from portion of the
city.
Czernowitz lies in a deep valley.
The town itself is not of great STRAIT
egical value, except for its railroads.
It's fell is likely to have greater po-
litical than military significance. as
an outstanding success by the Rus
ians at this time would be likely to
have a far-reaching effect on Rou-
mania.
A dispatch TO a Berlin newspaper
from the Bukowina front describes
the fighting there since Christmas
day as uneXampled The Russians

CONDITIONS IN
The oil FIELD
COURT OF INQUIRY STARTS HERE
TODAY BEFORE JUDGE FREE
MAN FOR PURPOSE OF INVEsTl-
eating CONDITIONS.

A glance at the Iobbies of hotels
and in the restaurants of the city
this morning would have convinced
one that nearly, if not quite all, the
population Of "Ragtown," or rather
Writ, was in the city. And there's
a reason.
Judge Freeman postponed the reg
ular criminal court in order to start
an Investigation into conditions, as
said to exist in the oil fields, and
should any cases be found, they will
be added to the regular docket which
viii be taken up some time in the
near future.
According to reports, Writ has been
pretty wide open proposition for
some time, but employees and opera
tors say it is but repeating the his
tory of all newly developed oil field
towns. The employees are all well
paid, and cUstomaTily, are used to
getting what they want Such being
the condition, someone will take a
chance on supplying them with all
the wet goods their appetites crave,
with the result that it is mighty hard
for officers of the law to preserve
rigid order.
The sheriff and his deputies have
been busy for the past week, serving
summons on witnesses who are want
ed to testify Ie'orn the court, and
they were in the city in huge num-
bers this morning.
Just what the outcome OF the inves.
tigatioN will be remains to be seen,
but evidently the court has not over
looked any prospective witnesses, who
might know something OF conditions
said to exist in the fields. 1t will be
several days before all are heard

nesday morning at 4;3O o'clock when
a load of buCkshOt missed Bullock S
chest by a few inches. Bullock, hay
ing been troubled With Indigestion,
went to the kitchen cabinet to get
some medicine when he heard a noise
at the screen of the kitchen door, In
stinctiyely, he threw down the match
he had lighted and drew back, just
as the load Of buck shot entered the
kitchen cabinet where he had been
standing
Bullock had been making strenuous
/ efforts to run down the burners Of
barns belonging to County Commits
sioners Gilmore and Malone and had
received threatening letters warning
hi INTO go slow, and that he was to
damn smart" The Ada News and
Sheriff Duncan also received similar
letters, but no previous attempts have
been made to carry out the threates.
Bloodhounds were brought from Hol-
'denyille by special train early Wednes-
day morning and the fugitive was
tracked from the rear window to the
ALLEY where he had mounted horse.
Officers are following the trail of the
horse. Indignation Of the citizens is
running high, and threats Of violence
are being made, in case the fugitive
is captured.
Richard Bond was arrested and
placed in Jail here Wednesday after
noon on suspicion that he knows some
thing about the attempted assassina-
tion Of Attorney Bullock. No further
developments have been given out,
though more arrests are expected at
any time.

FIRE CHIEF
AF TER AUTO
SPEEDERS
SAYS HE is TIRED OF HAVING
THEM PULL AHEAD. OF FIRE
DEPARTMENT WHILE IT is
MAKING RUNS.

Fire Chief Reeder was mad clear
through" this morning when he re
turned to the station after making u
run on false alarm and stated in
most positive terms that the very
next auto driver who chased after
the department or in any way inter
fered with them in the discharge of
their duty, is going to feel the hard
hand OF the law.
Mr.. Rcoder stated that there are
several drivers in this city, particu-
larly young boys, who never over
look an opportunity of speeding up
their machines whenever an alarm OF
fire is turned in. On several occasions
accidents have been narrowly averted,
and this morning, had it not been for
the presence Of mind of the driver
of the auto truck, an auto would have
been smashed and the driyer,-a
young boy,-would probably have been
killed
The chief stated that this is the
last warning he will give the public
about this matter, and that the very
next one who takes advantage of
fire alarm to speed up, will be ham
died by the law the same as any
other speeder.

 lures of Kathlyn will be shown Kathlyn, having returned to Allaha, disguised as an animal trainer bent upon rescuing her sister Winnie from the hateful throne where she has been forcibly placed by Um- ballah, enters the great steel cage in the amphitheatre and bravely puts the big cats through all their tricks with Q deftness and daring that quite outdoes the ordinary exhibit of wild animals, inasmuch as the black maned lions are not trained animals but are sullen savages. A Pathe Weekly, showing Col. Heeza Liar as a Camera Man at the front. con- cludes this very interesting bill. Thomas Gaffney states that the residents of Marshal, or as 1t is now known Fortuna Ledge, are agitating to have their mail come by way of the Iditarod instead of via Unalak- leet and St. Michaels. Men travelled between Marshal and Seward via the Iditarod, making the trip to the coast in twenty-three days. One man mailed letter in Juneau to a man in Marshal and later left via Seward and the Iditarod for Marshal. He arrived in Marshal notwith- standing his later start fully week ahead of the letter that came via Fairbanks. This suggestion IS worth consideration by Nomeites. If the Nome mail were routed via Idi- tarod and Marshal and St. Michaels it would come in several days ahead of the present route also, for over the hills the trip can be made from Marshal to St. Michaels in two days | if the trial is staked.
 Quite a large number of prospect ors who believe that they know where scheelite is to be obtained in large quantities are waiting for the snow to clear away to get in touch with this very valuable ore. On the other hand an experienced mineral ogist points out that many confound Barite with scheelite which 1t re- sembles and several specimens brought into town as scheelite prov ed under the acid and tin test to be not tungsten ores at all. Scheelite it is pointed out, is generally found in association with tin ores and wolframite is a striking example ot this. Tin ore in the Lost River con- centrator showed 60 per cent tin and 30 per cent tungsten. Hence this mineralogist advises anyone anxious to get in touch with tung- sten ores to try their luck in the tin country around York. where they are likely to be more successful than elsewhere.
