ANOTHER BRIDGE NEEDED
 ACROSS RESURRECTION

SEWARD.-Owing to the fact that the engineering commission is building the new Resurrection bridge with large spans, the road commission will probably have to build new struc- ture where the wagon road bridge now stands. Lieutenant Mehaffey believes that as the wide spans of the railroad bridge will let logs through some change must be made in the wagon road bridge to save it from destruc' tion. Mehaffey cannot yet give any idea of the amount of work to be done here this summer, as everything de bends on whether the new appropria- ton for wagon roads will go through. He says some repair work will be done, anyhow.

FORD DELEGATES RECOGNIZED BY
 NEUTRALS

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. May 12. - The Ford peace party, reduced now to working basis, with delegates pres ent from the six neutral countries of Norway, Sweden, Denmark. Holland, Switzerland and the United States, has recently been very active here, and has enjoyed the official recogni- tion of having been received by the foreign ministers of the three Scan dinavian countries. To each of these were presented appeals addressed in diplomatic French to the kings and the parliaments, asking that the neu- tral governments organize an official neutral conference to offer it's ser vices in bringing about peace. The Ford party Is now known as an "un- official peace conference of neutral nations"
 The Ford appeal. which is to be presented also at Berne and The Hague, says. in part:
 Has not the moment come to act? If, by an opportune step. an interven- tion of neutrals, the war could be shortened by a day. by a single day, which destroys thousands of lives. ought not the step be taken. no mat ter how difficult, how hopeless it ap- pears?

EXECUTED NOW NUMBER
 FOURTEEN

LONDON, May 12. - It was off cially announced in the house of com mons today that fourteen persons had been executed and seventy-six sen tenced to penal servitude for com plicity in the recent rebellion in Ire land. Several thousands are yet un, der arrest. Thomas Kent today was executed in the county of Cork.
 Irish Nationalists in the house of commons are protesting vigorously against what they term the undue SC verity of the authorities in dealing with the rebels. They contend that since the rebellion was so easily sup pressed, and all danger of further trouble is past, it is not necessary to deal so harshly with the prisoners.
 Premier Asquith today told the house of commons that he feels it his duty to visit Dublin at once. He probably will leave for Ireland today.
 The casualties among civilians in the rebellion as announced by the authorities today, were 1S0 killed and GA wounded.

RESCUE: ANOTHER FROM ROANOKE
 WRECK

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal, May 12.- Containing one man in the last stage of exhaustion and the dead body of another, the second life boat of the steamship Roanoke today was picked up off the beach here. It has now been determined that two life boats capsized while being launched and all the men in them were drowned.
 The Roanoke carried five life boats. Two have been picked up and two were lost. which leaves but one to be accounted for. Thus far none of the officers have been saved, and it is almost impossible to get a coherent story from the survivors, all of whom were near death when rescued.

GREAT BRITAIN REFUSES TO
 RELAX BLOCKADE ON GOODS

WASHINGTON. May F. - The British embassy was advised today by the foreign office that there would be no further relaxation of blockade or ders forbidding eXportation of German goods through Holland, unless pur- chased or contracted for previous to March l, 1915. Pressure has been brought to get recognition of contracts made as late as March 15, the date of publication of the blockade order.
 Sir Edward Grey advised the em- bassy in response to an inquiry that no extension can be considered" His reply was regarded as final. The state state department had under consider ation the sending of Dr. Holder, it's trade adviser, to London to seek an extension, but probably will not do so now.

MASSACRE TRAGEDIES FALL OF EZERUM

alive in the region of AleppO."
 In this connection it is interesting to learn of an incident occurring just prior to the fall of the city. Taxim Bey, the vali. it appears had done all he could, as far as he was allowed by Constantnople to do, to ease the lot of the Armenians. Realizing that the fall of the city was near he sent for Mir Stapleton and to hi mdeliyered a message from the Russian authori- ties to the effect that if the Moslem population were not molsted by the Russian troops, he would do all he could to help the eNpatriated Armen- ians in Mesopotamia; otherwise he would not answer for what night hap pen. It is only just to the Russian to say that the relations between the troops and the inhabitants are ex- ceedingly friendly. The bazaars and shops are open and the people are glad to sell to the Russians.
 The fall of Erzerum had hardly been announced before groups of Armen- ians in various parts of the Caucasus began plans for their return. Many have already gone back and others are only waiting for means to enable them to move. The Van, Bit'is and adjacent vilayets have already been opened ard permission to go back seems easy to obtain.

TELLS. Russian Transcaucasia, April 20. - Fifteen thousand Armen- ians were killed by Turks at Mamak- hatun prior to the evacuation of Erze- rum, according to statement pre- pared for the Associated Press by Richard Hill, a local representative of the. American Committee for Armen- ian and Syrian Relief, of New York. More than that, many more, expelled from Erzerum and surrounding vil- lages. have dropped out of sight, and it is assumed that most of them have met a like fate. It is estimated that there are 100000 Armenian refugees in the Caucasus. They are beginning to return to their homes in large num- bers. By April first it is thought 20,- 900 will have been repatriated. More than $120.000 has been expended by the American committee for their relief.
 Mil Hill describes interestingly the almost superhuman achievement of the Russian soldiers in scaling the heights around Erzerum, packing heavy guns piecemeal over the noun tain ranges preparatory to attacking the Actresses. His information was gathered from various officials and army officers who have returned to TifIis from Erzerum.

BISHOP HARRIS OF KOREA
 PAID HIGH HONOR.

TOXIC, May 6. - Unusual honors were paid to Bishop Merriman C.. Harris, of Korea, before his depar- ture from Japan for the United States. It is understood that the bishop, who is the head of the American Metho- Wisf Episcopal mission in Korea, will Fetire, but friends and admirers have agreed to provide a residence at Ram akura by the Sea if he will return to live here permanently.
 Among the prominent men present at a farewell dinner were Baron Ishii, the minister for foreign affairs; Geo. W. Guthrie, the American ambassador, and yiscount Kaneko. Baron Ishii, in the name of Emperor Yoshihito, con. sserred upon the bishop the second or der of the Sacred Treasure and at the same time eulogized the veteran missionary's work in Korea. Ambas- sador Guthrie likewise made a speech of appreciation of the bishops labors

EDENBURG, May 12. - Three la bor leaders today were given prison sentences after pleading guilty to ad. vising intuition workers to go on a strike. The authorities are adopting stern measures to suppress labor agi- tators who continually are attempting to get the men in the intuition plants to walk out.

36 NEGROES ARE BURNED TO
 DEATH

NORFOLK, Va, May 12. - Thirty six negroes, all but one of whom were women and children, perished today when a moving picture theatre at Wal lace, a small town near here burned, following a gasoline explosion.
 The theatre was not equipped with exits or fire-proofed according to law, and the owners immediately were ar rested, charged with manslaughter. The negroes are in a state of wild excitement, and unless strong meas ures are adopted, it is feared trouble will result.

before much damage was done the
 inhabitants were able to prevent the fire from spreading. The approach of the Russian soldiers caused the loot CTS to beat nasty retreat. A popu- lation of 25,00O was found in the place, mostly Turks. Some Persians and a few Greeks made up the re mainder. Possibly a hundred Armen- ians had been able to hide with friend ly Turks, and were found in the city upon it's capture. Apart from these there has bee nfound no trace of other Armenians, numbering 15,000, who were taken from the city and sent into the interior in June of last year. That is to say, no word has come from any of the men. but Mir. Stapleton, American mossionary in Erzerum, has heard indirectly from some of the women deported at that time, The whole of the province has been cleared of Armenians, with the ex- ception of those few who hid in the city. At the same time 15,000 were sent away from villages nearby. These were taken as far as Mamakhatun, where they were killed. Other groups have been sent off at different times, many of them too. no doubt. sharing the same fate as those from ErZerum, although some hope is entertained that many of tbe,n may still be found

CHAMBER |S OUT. FUR GOOD
 ROADS

Support for a petition asking that congress appropriate $500,00o for the building of roads and trails in Alaska was asked of the Cordova Chamber of Commerce in a communication from the Nome-Seward Peninsula Cham Der. read last night at the meeting of the local body. The resolution sets forth at length the necessities for better transportation and the great benefits that follow the building of new roads and trails.
 A communication of similar nature, but also embodying a demand for full territorial government, was received from the Alaska bureau of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce Both com munications were endorsed by the To- cal body.
 In order to account for the irregu- lar mail service. the Nome Chamber of Commerce has addressed com munication to the local body, request ing the dates of arrival of steamships during the past winter. The mails at Nome were so irregular during the past season, it Is claimed. that the people of the Seward peninsula can account for 1t in no other way than that the arrival of steamships at this port were such that a regular mail service was impossible. It is desired to get full data, in order that the blame may be placed where it belongs.
 Pending certain proposed changes in the bylaws, the Chamber of Con- merce last night postponed the semi annual election of officers until the next regular meeting.

"The work of the Russian forces was nothing short of marvellous writes Mir. Hill. They had to fight their way from their original position near Sari Kamysh clear up to the city itself, over roads that beggar de scription. The men waded in snow up to their waists, pushed o nthrough blinding snowstorm, sealed appar- ently impossible heights all in wea ther as intense and bitter as that of the Arctic circle Guns were taken apart and carried on the backs of sol diers, hauled up by ropes to the top of cliffs and then dropped down the icy slopes and put together in the clouds, from where they brought ter TOT and consternation to the enemy. Too much praise cannot be given to the valor and hardihood of the Russian soldier. An artillery officer, who was in the fight from the beginning. told me that the wonders performed and the difficulties overcome were every whit as great as those which made Napoleon's march over the Alps a military classic.
 The city itself is little if any dam aged, the forts even hardly showing evidence of severe bombardment. When the fall of the city was immi- nent the Turkish soldiers in certain quarters began to loot and burn. but

CAVALRY ' WILL CATCH
 BANDITS

FL PASO, May 12. - That Major Langhorne's cavalry has good S1qnce of overtaking the bandits who raided Glenn Springs, is the belief of General Funston, who today said the raiders had loaded wagons with loot, which they are taking with them.
 The reluctance of the bandits to leave behind them the spells which they captured will, in General Fun ston's opinion. greatly retard their progress, making it easy for the swift moving American squadron to catch them.
