GRAND TRUNK
 PACIFIC STEAMER Palatial Prince Rupert Reported to Have Bumped Rocks on
 Gam Island

A wireless message was received early this morning to the effect that the new and palatial steamer Prince Rupert, owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and one Of the fin- est ships that navigates northern wa ters, had gone on the rocks off Gam Island. which is about fifty miles south of Prince Rupert, the steamer plying between that city and Van couver. The report stated that the steamer would probably be lost but that her passengers were being safe ly taken off.
 The Prince Rupert was operated, in connection with the Prince George, between Vancouver and skagway, making Gastineau Channel ports, last year during the busy season when both steamers were deservedly popu- lar with the public and more espe- cially with the tourist trade.
 It is not believed. however, that the condition of the big steamer is as serious as reported this morning.

cined by COrdova to Prevent Seat of Justice being Removed

The following is from the CordoVA Daily Times and indicates strong soc- tional felllng and healthy rivalry be- tween Western Alaska cities:
 Valdez held a mass meeting re- gently 10 protest against the moving of the seat of court from that place to Anchorage. word having been re- ceiycd from Washington that the de- pertinent of justice was considering such action. A set of strong resolu- tions were adopted, in which was fully set forth the advantages of re- taining the headquarters at Valdez and explaining the inaccessibllity of Anchorage and the lack Of court busi- ness in that section Of the division.
 Upon the request of Valdez the Cordova Chamber Of Commerce has joined our neighboring town in pro- testing against the suggested move. in the following wire, which was sent to the department of justice:
 This Chamber, representing the most highly developed section of Third division, strenuously protests against removal district court from Valdez Co Anchorage. Valdez is most centrally located town in di- vision, both geographically and as to population, and court business. Anchorage has little litigation and is closed to navigation from Novem- Der to April. Valdez is open port year round. Removal court would necessitate all persons living Cor dova and Copper river valley hay ing court business to travel from five to seven hundred miles each way. Letter follows"

DAVID FITzGEAALD
SPEAKS AGAINST
SALOON LIMIT BILL,

Hartford, March 9-David E. Fitz-
gerald, chairman Of the Democratic
state central committee, spoke at the
hearing of the excise committee yes
terday in opposition to a bill limiting
one saloon to every 1000 people. He
said that it was a step toward prom
bition and a step toward running
number of saloon keepers and bar
tenders in the state. He admitted
that men who drank to excess were a
nuisance to the community, but that
if the state went "bone dry there
would still be people who would get
drunk, if not by using alcohol by the
nsa of drugs. He also said that In
drv states there are more cases Of dis
order and murder than there are IN
the licensed states and that the ma
jority of cases of insanity are hot
caused by alcohol.
J. Splain Of New Haven, man
ager of the Poll vaudeville circuit,
spoke in opposition. when you wipe
out saloons, you increase the tempta-
ton to drink" he said. the state
of Massachusetts, now has one saloon
to every 1000 inhabitants, but there
are no indications that the rate OF
drunkenness has been reduced. Ihere
are about 1900 saloons in Connecticut
and by the enactment of this bill, half
of these would be put out of business,
and about $500 men would he out OF
employment, if the bill passed. This
bill cannot promote temperance be-
cause it will increase drunkenness,
it is a direct attack on the local option
system of cities; 1t will cause a great
financial loss, and it is not backed by
public organizations"

Mike Sauimocki, Of TIA Housatonic

recent international events have man
ifested a consuming brand Of Ameri-

Yesterday both exhibited prima ia
Gle evidence Of their loyalty by donat-

hibited the button they received in

ing war events Nouivick accused Saul

he loved America. The latter denied
the assertion with much heat, picking
up bottle Of beer, Nouivick asserts,
to impress ON the lc'+er's mind his err
