PREFERRED TO DIE
 THAN MUSH TO NOME

Reports from Candle state that a coroners jury appointed to determ- inc the facts in connection with the death of Clyde Kenyon, who was found shot in the Inmachuk some days ago, presumably through the accidental discharge of shotgun while on hunting trip, have returned verdict to the effect that the de- ceased met his death through gun shot wounds self inflicted while in a state of temporary insanity.
 Recent arrivals from Candle state that there is little doubt that Ken yon committed suicide owing to an dread of making the trip from Candle to Nome overland. Friends of the deceased state that Kenyon had a very trying experience while crossing the peninsula several years ago and arrived in Candle in a very bad physical state. Since that time he has suffered with a veritable obsession regarding the overland trail.
 This peculiar delusion had obtained such hold over the young man that he decided to stay in Candle last winter rather than come to Nom' overland after the Silver Wave hat failed to reach Kotzebue sound last fall. During the present summer he is said to have frequently referred to his dread of the trail while conversine with friends.-Nome Nugget.

THE UKULELE

Post-Intelligencer: 1t has become apparent that a new musical instru- ment, the ukulele, has invaded the American market with some promise of a permanent place in the public regard. Those who have not at tempted harmony upon it may have specuated upon it's source. A. r. Taylor, a correspondent of the fed eral department of commerce, has given some information on that point.
 The ukulele was first produced by Portuguese at Honolulu, Hawaiian islands. It was a popular vehicle of music in the islands long before it in vaded the American market. The mainland public took to it readily, and now there is a demand far be yond the productive capacity.
 Mir. Taylor tells us that on Sep tember 1, 1915, the ukulele factories of the islands were turning out 300 or 600 instruments a month. A year later the production had increased to ,6OO a month, and the orders from mainland music dealers were far from being all filled. Last month a com pany was organized in Honolulu to manufacture 2,OOO ukuleles a month
 The uIulcle is made principally Of the native koa wood The peculiar tone produced is said to be obtained only from well-scasoned koa wood,

U-BOATS OBEY LAW
PRESIDENT SAYS GERMAN DIV
ERS MUST OBSERVE RULES.
Executive Declares He Will Hold Ger
many to All Its Promises
Regarding Warfare.

Long Branch, N. j., Oct. ia con-
ference between President wilson anu
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, at the summer White House
and a telephone talk between the pres
ident and heads of departments IN
yolved in Washington on Monday re-
yealed the following facts regarding
the situation Of the United States with
respect to the activities Of the JOB OH
Nantucket ligEtship.
1. President Wilson will hold Ger
many to all it's promises regarding It's
conduct of submarine warfare.
2. Ambassador Won Bernstorf prom
Uses that Germany will hold sacred all
it's promises to the. American govern
ment.

saws the Germans have not violated
the neutrality of the United States,
and that passengers and crews have
been given a full measure OF safety.
4. Secretary of State Lansing, while
not ready to make final decision, can
not see how the Germans have violated
international law thus far in their cam
paign against allied shipping and con-
traband entering or leaving American
ports. The promises regarding warn
ing and safety of passengers ana
crews, he believes, apparently have
been kept.
Secretary Lansing, 1t was announced,
will come here for conference with
President Wilson concerning German
Submarine raids off the American
coast.
The president made this statement
before the German ambassador made
his call.
"The German government will be
held to the fulfillment of its promises
TO the government of the United
States" he said. "The government
will. of course, first inform itself as
70 all the facts that there may be no
Doubt or mistake as far as they are
concerned.
"The country may rest assured that
the German government will be held to
the complete fulfillment of Its prom
ises to the government of the United
States. l have no right now to ques-
ton its willingness to fulfill them"
Count Won BernstOrff spent only 10
minutes with the president. On leav-
ing the summer White House he said
TO the correspondent:
"AIl the attacks on merchant ships
off the American coast have been con-
Quoted in accordance with cruiser war
fare"

had been ruined by an operation per-
formed by DR.. J. B. Weintraub, nursed
his grievance seven years. Monday

serious and perhaps fatal wound In the
abdomen.
Doctor McLaren said he was engaged
to be married and consulted Doctor
Weintraub, who advised an operation.
The operation was performed on New
Years day, 1909, and Doctor McLaren
says the surgeon assured him he was
again a healthy man.
INSTEAD of being restored to health
I found l could never marry and had
to break off my engagement with the

j. S. OPEN TO U-BOAT
STATE DEPARTMENT AT WASH
INGToN ANNOUNCES DECISION.
Raid OFF New England Coast Does Not
Change Administrations Point
Of View.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE dash into
Newport of the German submarine
U-53 and it's subsequent raids Off the
New England coast have not changed
the administration point OF view III
the treatment of submersibles OF
belligerent nations.
This was made known here on Tues
day when Counselor Polk Of the state
department announced that the United
States had refused to accept the con-
tention of the entente allies urging
that neutrais deny the use of their
harbors to all submarines, Whetner
merchantmen or warships.
The counselor's announcement fol-
lowed publication of London dis
patch carrying the text of a recent
note to Washington in which the de-
mands of the entente were made.
The claim of the allies that subma-
rines are outlaws brings UP the ques-
ton of whether the American govern
ment may be sued for damages result
ing from the call of the U-53 at New
port before it started on its spectacu-
lar raid.
Under the Interpretation Of the al
lies, the position may be taken that
Newport was made the base for OPP
erations which officials estimate al
ready have caused at least $6,OOOOoO
damage to allied shipping and trade.

the Atlantic Coast, from Newport
north to the Canadian line, to investl-
gate reports of hidden submarines
bases of wireless stations. Admiral
Mayo, commander of the fleet, report
ed to the Navy Department that he
had ordered the search, but did not

ports of which he acted or the places
where illegal radio plants or bases
were said to have been discovered.
Secretary Daniels made it plain that
the admiral had acted on his own
initiative in sending out the scouting
craft on this mission, although when
the European war began general or
ders were issued to the fleet command
ers to take all necessary steps to SAFE

The presidents statement follows:
'The council of national defense
has been created because the congress
has realized that the country is best
prepared for war when thoroughly pre-
pared for peace. From an economic
point of view there is now very little
difference between the machinery re-
quired for commercial efficiency ana
that required for military purposes. In
both cases the whole Industrial
mechanism must be organized in the
most effective way.
"The councils chief functions are:
81. The coordination Of all forms
of transportation and the develop
ment of means of transportation to
meet the military, industrial ana
commercial needs of the nation.
''2. The extension of the industrial
mobilization work of the committee
on Industrial preparedness OF the
naval consulting board. Complete In
formation as to our present manu-
featuring and producing facilities
adaptable to many-sided uses OF mod
ern warfare will be procured, an
alyzed and made use OF.
zone Of the objects Of the council
will be to inform American manufac'
turers as to the part which they car
and must play in national emergency
"The personnel Of the councils adj
visory members, appointed without
regard to party, marks the entrance
of the nonpartisan engineer and pro-
fessional man into American gov
ernmental affairs on wider scale
than ever before.
ain the present instance the time
of some of the members Of the adj
visory board could not be purchased.
They serve the government without
remuneration, efficiency being their
sole objective and Americanism their
only motive"
