sinking of the Britannia. The ship,
they said, was turned back to them
in June and officials here had not
been advised that the government had
taken it over again.
The Britannia, built for the Liver
pool-New York trade, was never in
the service. It was about ready to be
turned over for its initial voyage when
the war began and it was COM
Wandered and fitted up for hospital
purposes.
1t was used to transport wounded
and sick from the Dardanelles and it
was after that campaign was aban-
doned by Great Britain that, it was
turned back to its owners.
The White Star liner Britannia was
the largest vessel of the White Star
fleet afoat. Built in 1914 at Belfast,
it was 852 feet long, ninety-four feet
/ m and ffty-nine feet depth. Its
length was somewhat less than that
of the White Star liner Olympic,
which measured 1851 feet, but the
Britannia had the greater tonnage, the
Olympic's being 46,300 tons as COM
pared with the Britannic's 4,500.

Bluffs Business Man Dies
at Age Of rs Years.
FOLLOWS LONG ILLNESS

Mrs. Susanna Cain Dodge, widow
Of the late N. P. Dodge, died at her
home at IA Fifth avenue, Council
Bluffs, Tuesday night at midnight,
after several months illness from
heart trouble. She was 70 years Of
age.
IA Mrs. Dodge suffered her first at
tack OF heart failure last March,
shortly after the death Of her hus-
bands brother, the late General

to Chicago, where she spent the sum
iner, under expert medical attention.
Her condition became worse after

coincidence on the death OF Emperor
Francis Joseph Of Austria-Hungary
were prepared at the State DEPART
ment today in expectation Of imme-
diate Official announcement from the
American ambassador at Vienna or
the Austrian charge here. President
Wilson will send messages both to
the royal family and to the Austrian
charge here, while Secretary Lansing
will send messages to the charge here
and to the minister OF foreign affairs
in Vienna.
Congratulations to the new mon
arch will not be sent until later, when
his ascension to the throne is Off
cially reported.
The German embassy, basing its
views upon an intimate knowledge of
conditions in the dual monarchy. is
certain the death Of Emperor Fran.
els Joseph and the ascension Of
Charles Francis Joseph will result in
renewed military activity Of most
energetic character.
The dead monarch by reason OF his
age and his inhrmities has taken no
more than passively active part in
the war plans for some months. The
new ruler has been actively engaged
on various fronts where the Austro-
Hungarian armies have been operat.
ing during the last two years.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, feels that from an inter.
nal political viewpoint, the death oil
the Austrian emperor will not have
the slightest effect on the war. IN
times OF peace such an event might
have strong effect. In war time
however, the ambassador believes the
people are united for success OF their
arms. Furthermore, the ambassador
feels the people of the dual mon
archy have been so solicited by the
war that the death Of their ruler will
not bring about any political changes
OF importance. The new monarch is
said to hav. well-dehned ideas re-
garding peace and personally is peace
fully inclined. He is described as "a
sensible man, and, therefore, in favor
Of peace rather than war"

Move to Unite Suits.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 22.-An
agreement between the railroads and
the Department Of Justice to ask
the supreme court to pass on the
constitutionality Of the Adamson act
before January /, when it takes eff
feet, appeared to be near at hand to-
day.
Counsel for the Pennsylvania, New
York Central and Burlington roads
are comforting on the subject and it
is said they may seek to have the
suit Of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, set for hearing at Kansas City
tomorrow, made test case. In that
event other suits already instituted at
lacking the Adamson act may be
dropped.
Final decision in the matter, how
ever, probably will await word from
G. c. Todd and Marvin E. Under.
wood of the Department Of Justice,
who will appear in the Santa Fe
case. -
Government officials were greatly
interested in Judge Hooks decision
holding the Adamson act unconstitu-
tional.
At conference held today between
Attorney General Gregory and rail-
road attorneys tentative plans were
made to center the contest over con-
stitutionality Of the Adamson law in
one test case and expedite an early
hearing in the supreme court.
II perfected, the agreement would
provide that the railroads would drop
other suits If the law were held con-
stitutional and would bring no further
suits while the case is pending. Both
sides would work to get final de-
cision before January |, when the law
becomes effective.
Neither the attorneys for many
large railroad systems, who were
present in couyt, nor the government
counsel present would comment on
the decree. Apparently both sides re.
garded the case only as means of
Fastening a decision by the supreme
court, which is the final arbiter.

 DELAYED BY ACCIDENT
 AND VOWED INTO BETHEL

Duncan Mcdonnell, better known as "Cinnabar' Mcdonnell, owner of promising quartz properties on the lower Kuskokwim. and an old-timer of that section, was a visitor in the city on Sunday last He brings word that the steamer Tana, which went around from the Yukon to the kus- kokwim, lay at Bethel a whole month wait ing for her connecting ocean boat, the motorship "kuskokwim River" which boa, threw her propellors near Kodiak and had to be lowed the balance of the way The tugbcat Columbia performed that service
 Mir Mcdonnell came up the kuskokwim as far as Georgetown on the Tana, which was en route to McGrath with two loaded barges one carrying Northern Commercial Company supplies and the other with part of the material for the Candle creek drcdgc belonging to Aitken X Riley, and which is being built by the Union Con struction Company of San Francisco.
 Harry Lawrence the agent of the North ern Commercial Company at Tokotna, was on board the Tana, returning home after a long soiourn at Bethel where he awaited for six weeks the arrival of the kuskokwim River
 MT Mcdonnell states that Karl Thiele the former Iditarod merchant, was pas senger on board the kuskokwim River from Seattle, and brought with him stock of goods to supply the Canyon creek country There are said to be about forty men work ing on that stream this season, and they are taking out considerable gold Mir Thiele it will be remembered, lost com pIete stock of goods last year in the de struction of the schooner Ruby, which was burned off Douglas island after a memor- able voyage The serious accident to the Kuskokwim River while MT Thiele was a passenger has led the kuskokwim people to regard him as somewhat of Jonah

Bob Dunn, Dan Stewart, Milford Reno and Jce Kean made up party which arrived here on Sunday last from the Tol- stoi district Practically all of the party in tend to return there within the near future and all speak encouraglngly of the pros poets there. Mr Haley is firmly of the conviction that Tolstoi is bound to make at least small producing camp. end there is a possibility that developments in the near future will insure period of great activity there He gives the following items of news regarding work being carried on there at present:
 Greer X McNulty, on the Emmet fraction, Boob creek, made cleanup on July p, and a conservative estimate of the result was from $40 to S2.50 to the foot. Three hundred and fifty feet of bedrock was cleaned up, They are still hoiSting, blocking out and prospecting, and expect to ship in machinery this fall
 Lars Otness, known as Big Lars' has a lay on discovery, Boob, and began work there on July 23.
 James Pitcher and Ira Van Orsdal are prospecting No. l below, Boob. They re- port good prospects in two shafts.
 W ally Labosl,i and Louis Stroup are pros pecting on Glen gulch, a pup running into Boob on the left limit, and report good in dications.
 Vnal and partner have taken lease on No. 3 below, and are doing prospecting work
 Pete Murdock and H Nicholson are work ing on Wilson creek, tributary of Ledge creek. They have the same gravel and bed rock as on Boob. They are reticent as to their operations but are doing a great deal of work
 Mike Laboski and Ed Fernell are sinking on the lower end of Ledge creek, but have obtained no results as yet which is true also of Hunniwell 6s Pearson's work at the mouth of Ledge.
 On Mastodon creek Bob Roberson and Max Mnard were representing a lot of ground. They have sunk many holes on Nos ?, 3 and below, and were moving to No. 1 above when Haley left.
 Murray, McConnaughey, Beattie X Duffy, on discovery, Mastodon, had found 8 S1050 nugget and their hopes were cor respondingly high, but subsequent work had not yet located paystreak.
 Wilson creek, tributary of Mastodon, is said to be looking up. A Frenchman whose name Haley did not recall has good prospects there but withheld further in formation.
 Tobias Perry has taken number of op- tons on Hurst creek
 Max Simel is at the mouth of the Tolstol, on the Ditna, with his barge and stock of goods This is about thirty miles from Tolstoi
 MT Haley reports that he spoke with Lotus Pelme of the gas boat Thomas Flyer He was disabled about fifty-fve miles below Dshkaket.
