TERRIFIC STORM
 IN CALIFORNIA
Gale Drives Waters of Pacific Into Bays and Twenty Blocks in San
 Diego Are Flooded.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27.-A. terrific gale which swept in from the Pacific ocean last, night caused the ocean to roll into the bay and raising. the wa ter three feet above all previous high water marks. Twenty blocks along the waterfront were flooded and many of the buildings were damaged by their foundations. being undermined.
 Coronado Island, which Is the mec- ca of thousands of tourists at all sea sons of the year, suffered heavily by a wide area of the famous grounds of the Coronado hotel being washed away by the heavy surf, which for a time threatened the destruction of the building.
 Advices from points north and south state that heavy damage result ed from the gale and flood but as yet no deaths have been reported. It is feared however, that many small boats, especially the fishing fleet of the coast of Lower California, will have suffered heavily, as no boat could live in the storm. -

Mexican Bandits Capture American Troopers and Four Drown in
 Going to Their Rescue.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Jan. 27.-- IA band of Mexicans surprised two American soldiers yestarday after moon while they were bathing in the Rio Grande river near this place and
 took them prisoners Into Mexico. Other American soldiers who had wit messed the capture attempted to cross the river under fire of the Mexicans to the rescue of their companions. Four of the rescuers were lost in the |attempt to cross, The kidnapping and fatalities to the American troops created intense |excitement and hundreds of Texans
 were arming to go to the rescue oi the captives when news reached here from Mexico that the bandits had
 been captured by Carranzaistas and
 the Americans released.
 Conditions along the Texas border are becoming intolerable to Ameri- cans as scarcely twenty-four hours are allowed to pass without some dep- relations being committed by the
 bandits. It is with difficulty that the
 people of this state are being re-
 strained from crossing over the hor-
 der to administer punishment to the

PARIS, Jan. lI.-The news from Switzerland that Turkish diplomats have reached Zurich to seek terms upon which peace would be granted the Ottoman empire by the Allies has created a sensation. It is believed that Germany has realized that the task of financing Turkey is too heavy Ia burden on her resources and that he has cast off the responsibility and will allow the Turkish government to make the best terms possible in deal ing with the Allies.
 Rumors of all sorts regarding the diplomats visit to Switzerland are in circulation in the capitals of Europe. but as yet no developments have oc- cured which offer satisfactory ex- plantation of the visit.
 Members of the French cabinet profess ignorance of any peace plans and have declined to conjecture as to the probable outcome of the Turkish negotiations or with whom the Turk ish diplomats will confer in Switzer- land.

JURY ACQUITTED
 THE PA1R0LMAN
Refused to Convict Margett on Testi- mony of Women of Underworld
 Evidence of Graft Lacking.

SEATTLE, Jan. 27.-Patrolman Margett, who was dismissed from the Seattle police force several months ago by Chief Lang and was compelled to stand trial on the charge of hav- ing received money from prostitutes for protection, was acquitted by a
 jury after a few minutes delibera- |tion.
 The evidence against the accused was limited to that of four women of the underworld. None of the women had ever given Margett money but they testified that they had left sums ranging from five dollars upward at a cigar store where the patroRman had told them he would receive 1t.
 The clerk at the cigar store has
 disappeared and the proprietors knew nothing of the arrangement between the patrolman and the woman. De- |tectives who had tried to trap the ac- cused admitted on the witness stand that they had been unable to secure direct evidence to sustain the charge
 of graft.

 Admiral MacGowan told the com mittee that it was expected that the of the high grade coal deposits in the Matanuska coal fields in Alaska would again make coal cheaper than oil for fuel for the Pa cif1c fleet. He said that the coal had been submitted to actual test on a warship and had been found to be equal to that of the Pocohontas coal. He believed that in building new war ships for service in the waters of the Pacific that this fact should be taken into consideration. He had been as- sured that coal from the Matanuska fields would be available for the use of the navy within year.

PROTEST REPEAL
 0F ORGANIC ACT
Seward Chamber of Commerce In sists Alaskans Should Handle
 Affairs of Territory.

SEWARD. Jan. 27.-The Seward Chamber of Commerce at meeting last night passed resolutions protest ing against the measure introduced
 in Congress by Representative Alex
 ander of Missouri. which would have
 the effect of changing the Alaska or
 ganic act.
 The resolution introduced in con-
 gross provides that the Alaska legis-
 lature shall be prohibited from inn posing taxes on the products of tho waters of Alaska and will place the entire control of the fisheries in the hands of a bureau to be established under the Department of Commerce. The resolution would also repeal tho laws passed by the Alaska legislature during the session of 1915, when . special tax was imposed on the fish ling industry of the territory. The Seward chamber will insist that Alaskans are better able to care for the affairs of the territory than any department, bureau. board or commission now existing or might be created or named. It Is the purpose lof the chamber to secure the cooper ation of the other commercial bodies in Alaska in order that vigorous protest may be sent to Washington to enable the friends of the territory to secure the defeat of the measure
 when it comes before the house for action.
 It is reported here that the resolu- tion introduced by Representative Alexander will have the support of Secretary Redfield of the Department of Commerce, as he has been desirous of securing complete control of the fisheries of the north with view of
 extend ding the scope of his department

 Wife of N. Y. Millionaire.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-It is re- ported in telegraphic advices receiv- ed from New York that Mrs. o. P. Belmont, divorced wife of o. P. Bel mont the New York millionaire f1n- Eancier and club man, is engaged to

SEATTLE, Jan 27.-The past few
 weeks have witnessed a phenomenal increase in the price of the stocks of the, two big steamship companies serving Southwestern Alaska and knowing ones are holding for still further increases g.. ,.sa
 The shares of the Alaska Steamship company are now quoted at $10I per share and many have disposed of
 their holdings. Other stockholders believe that the shares are due for Ia rapid increase in value and are holding in anticipation of receiving
 $125 per share. ....
 The rapid increase in the value of stocks of the company are due in part to the prediction that the company
 will declare a dividend of six hun dred thousand dollars at the coming annual meeting and to the fact that the business outlook for the coming year is exceedingly bright.
 The two big freighters which were recently purchased by the Alaska Steamship company on the Atlantic coast, and which have been christen- ed the Valdez and Juneau, are expect ed to earn seventy-flve per cent of their value within six months after they enter the Alaskan service. The officials of the company here say that owing to the shortage of vessels on |the Atlantic coast that the freighters could be immediately resold at a fig lure which would net a handsome re turn. The company has been offer ed an advance of twenty-ilve per cent on the price paid for the steamers two months ago but hay. declined the of-
 fer as the vessels are required for the Alaska business. >... The Pacific Alask* Navigation com |pany's Admiral line has also enjoyed Ia prosperous year and the price of the shares of the company have jumped
 from $76, to, $90. within three weeks. No announcement as to- a- probable dividend being declared at tho annual meet has been made but 1t js believed
 that 1t will not bs passed.
