U. S. STARTS INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The United

complete investigation of the arrest of
James NJ. Sullivan, former American min
lister to Santo Domingo, charged with COM
plicity in the Irish uprising. A complete
report of the case will be forwarded to this
city as soon as possible, and then Secre-
tary Lansing will decide what steps, If
any, can be taken by this Government to
relieve the former diplomats plight.
officials are seriously concerned over
the arrest of Sullivan. He is extremely
popular in Irlsh-American circles through
out the country and any drastic action
against him by Great Britain would mean
that his friends here would consider re-
prisals They declare that while Sulli-
van has been an ardent advocate of Home
Rule for Ireland all of his life, he has
never advocated revolutionary tactics.
His presence in Ireland, they say, was due
to a desire to visit his birthplace in an
effort TO recover his health, impaired while
serving as minister to Santo Domingo.
The State Department and the White
House have received O large number of
kilograms In behalf of Sullivan, urging
that every effort be made to secure his
immediate release.

Inquiries were made at the State De-
partment yesterday regarding the where

NOTICE.

The Copper River X Northwestern Railway and the Alaska Steamship Company have decided not to submit to the arbitrary action of the officers of the Cordova Longshoremen's Union. These officers have called a strike and then later stated their demands. and refused to allow any time for adjustment Regardless of their de- mands. which are excessive, they have therefore forfeited all right to be dealt with as union officers. The railway and steamship company are prepared to put permanently sufficient men on the wharf to handle all cargo, and if necessary will do so.
 The railway company will provide quarters and meals for their men so long as necessary. and will protect them in their work.
 Union officers are hereby notified to keep off the wharf and approaches and other railway property.
 The railway company will, as far as possible. provide it's longshoremen with section or other work. when suf-

coming summer. On Ester Dome it is said that some of the prospectors there have some likely looking pros poets also.
 A number of chemical concerns in Pennsylvania and other parts of the country are anxious to get all the tungsten they can, so that there will be no trouble in finding a market for the production once it is in shape for shipment.
 Should they send their concentrates out by express the rate would be eX- orbitant. In fact it would cost sev- eral times as much to send it from Fairbanks to Chitna as it does from Fairbanks to Pennsylvania by par cels post The through rate by par cels post is 12 cents per pound, or a little more than $24O per ton in small sacks.
