WILSON IS NOT YET DONE

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 13.- The foreign diplomats here are ex- tremely pessimistic over the possibil- ity of bring about peace in Europe. From sources close to President Wiz son it is learned that the Presiden. :. has not abandoned hope, and will con. tinue his efforts. but what direction these efforts will take is not known. The German diplomats here are out spoken in their assertions that Ger many will never begin the negotia- tions for peace in view of the hostile attitude of the Allies to her propos- als, nor will she ever bow to the de- mands of the Allies.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 13.- Congressman Frank P. Wood, of Iowa, in a speech before the House today, created a sensation when he charged that the adverse report of the Rules Committee on the resolu- tion providing for congressional in- vestigation of the alleged leak of the German peace proposal was due to fear that prominent officials of the ad- would be involved, and his suspicion that these of- ficials were inwrapt in the scandal. He was roundly denounced by num- Der of speakers who charged the con- gressman with attempting to gaiL a little notoriety at the expense of his betters.

LONG DISCUSSION BY CABINET
Further Movement Be ShrOuded In Secrecy-TeutOnic Diplomats Out spoken in Condemnation of Terms Imposed by Allies.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13.- President Wilson is carefully consid- ering a reply to the note of the En- tente powers relative to terms of peace. The matter was discussed at length yesterday at a meeting of the cabinet, but the proceedings are kept strictly secret. Secretary of State Lansing, Col. House, the Presidents 's special representative and the Teu- tonic diplomats here are outspoken in their condemnation of the condi- tons imposed by the Allies and ds- clare that the terms proposed will never be accepted by Germany and her allies.
 It is probable, owing to the charges growing out of the former commun!- cation to the Allies, that the Presi- dents next movement in behalf cf peace will be clouded with the great est secrecy.

WOUNDS BELIEVED NOT FATAL

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-Phy- sicians in attendance upon Harry Thaw at the hospital here assert tsat he will be out in two weeks, his wounds not being necessarily fatal, although he lost large quantity of blood. The physicians state that his condition, so far as his wounds are concerned is perfectly satisfactory, but 1t is possible that he may have also swallowed one or more tablets, several os which were found in his pocket, which would produce slow but certain death. The patient now lies in stupor, and no statement has been secured from him: Officers arc stationed at the hospital ready to serve a warrant on him as soon as he sufficiently recovers. -..-.....-.
 The charge of kidnapping 19-year- old Fred Gump from Kansas City. on which the warrant was issued, is all legged to be an attempt at blackmail.

PROMINENT MERCHANT
 ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

expedite the forwarding of messages, Later the following message was re- ceived from J. M. Lathrop, by J. c. Martin, confirming the news of the accident:
 Sam Blum, been i'll some days
 with fainting spells, at 5:3O this
 evening, while leaning out of his
 office window for air, fell to side
 walk below. Death was almost in-.
 stantaneous."
 Prior to the receipt of this mes- sage the belief was prevalent that there had been a mistake in the iden- tity of the victim, and that S. Frank, for a number of years buyer for s. Blum & Co. occupying the same of flee, was the victim, but the telegram from MT. Lathrop set at rest all doubt as to the identity of the victim.
 The news spread throughout the town like wildfire, and within a few minutes anxious inquiries were being received from all quarters as to the truth of the report. The news was d distinct shock to the whole commun- ity. During his residence here of years, MT. Blum had gained a large acquaintance. being known to ev- cry man. woman and child in the community. by all of whom he was held in the highest esteem. Like all strong men MT. Blum had some enc mics. but the bitterest of these could not deny his sterling worth. and the important part he has played in the upbuilding of the town and the busi- ness advancement of this section of the Northland. In his death the town has lost staunch supporter. a man who believed implicitly in the flu ture of the town, and one who had exerted all his influence to promote it's growth and prosperity. He has been prominently identified with ev- cry movement for the advancement to this section and his loss will be deep ly felt
 Sam Blum was born in San Fran cisco, California. in September, 1868. When eight years of age he went to Europe and remained there until 1881, when he returned to San Fran cisco. where he engaged in business, there until 1898, when he went to Juneau, and engaged in busi- ness there. In 1903 he went back to Seattle, Washington, and engaged in the brokerage business, and in 1905 he took charge of the present con- cern of s. Blum & Co.,. then known as A. L. Levy & Co.,, in which he has been the guiding spirit up to the time of his death.
 In April, 1905, MT. Blum was mar ried in Seattle to Miss Estelle Leo pold, the fruits of this union being three children, John, Allan and Eliz- abeth, all of whom survive him. He Is also survived by three sisters, all living in Europe, and his cousin, Meyer Blum, Secretary-Treasurer of the Blum Company, and at the head of the banking and commercial busi- less in this city.

SEATTLE, Jan. 13.-Sam Blum, the well-known Alaska merchant, died here last evening as the result of fall from the window of his of. flee in the third story of the Pacific Building, Occidental and Yesler Way, to the sidewalk below. The accident occurred about 5:3O last evening. Mir. Blum, who was alive when pick. ed up, was carried into the interurban station and an ambulance summons ed, but he died a few minutes later while en route to the City hospital.
 J. M. Lathrop, a close personal friend of the deceased had been in the office talking with MT. Blum a moment before the accident, when MT. Blum complained of feeling very warm and went to the window MT Lathrop went into his own office and returned a moment later to find MT. Blum had disappeared. He rushed down stairs and found a group of men carrying Mr Blum to the inter- urban station. MT. Lathrop states that MT. Blum had been i'll for sev- eral days. having had several faint ing spells, and he is certain that MT. Blum had tainted while standing in front of the window trying to get fresh air.
 Mir. Lathrop paid an eloquent trib- ute to MT. Blum, both as business man and a citizen of Alaska He says that MT. Blum worked untir- ingly to aid Valdez following the re- cent conf1agration, dropping all Of his personal business to attend to the needs of the people of that town. Mir Blum and MT. Latkrop were warm personal friends. and the latter is Leartbroken over the demise of hls friend. He says MT. Blum's health had been very bad for several days, and that he had delayed a visit to California to be with him. Regarding the fire and the destruction of the store in Valdez. he says MT. Blum was extremely proud of his Valdez place of business, and it's destruction was keenly felt from the sentimental point of view, but the financial loss he accepted philosophically. and was making preparations to rebuild on an even larger and more substantial scale than before.
 Secretary McPherson. of the Alas ka Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who was also intimately acquainted with MT. Blum, likewise paid a warm tribute to the worth of the deceased. He declared that in the death of MT. Blum Alaska had lost one of her leading citizens and a fine executive.
