VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 13.-- Practically all of the dead from the wrecked Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Sophia brought here on the Princess Alice, have been identified.
 The big pier was transformed into a temporary morgue. When the ship of sorrow arrived the city was in the height of a peace celebration.

 The conference is expected to as sist in the movement of Mexican la bor into the United States, for the official labor organizations of both countries are anxious to promote good relations be- Eeen the govern ments. The immigration of Mexicans has been facilitated by the removal of certain restrictions, and they are particularly needed on farms, rail roads, and mining projects in the southwest.

MEXICAN LABOR CONSIDERED AT
 MEETING TODAY
Samuel Gompers and 0th- CTS Are in Attendance at the International La-

LAREDO, TEXAS, Nov. 13.-Sam- uel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, and other American delegates are here to at tend the great international labor conference, which began it's delibera- tions today, and for which all ar engagements have been. completed. Delegates will be present from many Latin-American countries be- sides Mexico, although; naturally the chief interest in the meeting is for Mexico and the United States.
 Governors of many Mexican states will attend, and the American border states are represented. The organ. ized labor movement in Mexico has developed along much the same lines as that in America, and the confer ence is relied upon to strengthen the bonds that already exist between the workers of the two republics.

LIST OF THOSE
 WHO FORFEITED
 CITIZENSHIP
Men of Juneau Who With. drew Declarations of Intention Rather Than
 Fight for America.
David Gustafson. Swedish. Alfred Berg, Swedish.

David Gustafson. Swedish.
 Alfred Berg, Swedish. Ole Otterstad, Norwegian. John Stenbratcn, Norwegian. Elmer Strom, Swedish.
 The foregoing are the names of registrants by the Juneau Exemption Board who withdrew their declara- lions to become citizens of the Unit ed States rather than to become sub jects to the draft. They are men without a country They had sworn away their allegiance to their native lands, and declared their intentions to become Americans. But when the time came that the country in which they were making a living called them to the colors to fight, they quit, and withdrew their declarations. By doing so they have forfeited any right ever to become citizens of this country.
 Capt J. J. Finnegan, in charge of the draft work in Alaska, has re- ceived inquiries from exemption boards in several parts of Alaska concerning cases where men have withdrawn their declarations of in tentions to become Americans. sln each instance the registrant has stated that he signed the withdrawal of his intention to become an Ameri can citizen through mistake.
 Capt Finncgan has answered this inquiry with the very prompt re- sponse that there is nothing doing. "It is the clear intention of law, and strictly in accord with the right that these men should never be citizens of the United States" said Capt. Fin negan.

Claims Improvement in Violin.

A patent recently granted to an Hi

body of which is cylindrical in shape
and much more compact than the old
time instrument. The sound post
and bass-bar in a modified form are
necessarily retained. The instrument
is provided with a chin rest so shaped
as to be extended laterally while in
use and of folding against the instru-
ment when not in use. The appear

Grievance is Explained.
Although without official informa-
ton of a detailed character, it is un-
derstood here that Mexico's real grieV-
ance against Cuba is the recent incl
dent in which the Mexican minister

Might Not Declare War.
A break between Cuba and Mexico,
it is felt, disrupts virtually onthlng
but a long standing friendly relation.
In the opinion of those in close touch
with the subject, it may actually give
Cuba a free hand, as the Mexican
foreign minister says in his announce
ment. but perhaps not in the manner
suggested. American agents for some
time have been reporting German
agents OPERATING in Cuba, some OF
them crossing frequently to the Uni
ted States as Cuban citizens or Mex
lean citizens. A severance of dip
lomatic relations probably would leave
the Cuban government feeling more
at liberty to investigate their activi
ties.
When. first class powers are con
cerned a break in diplomatic rela
lions inevitably has been followed by
war. Between lesser powers this rule
often fails to hold good.
Havana-The exact situation will
reference to the diplomatic relations
between the Cuban and Mexican re
publics is difficult to define in view
of the wide divergence of interpreta
tons placed on the departure of thu
