MAY PROHIBIT
 USE FUEL OIL
 ON ALL YACHTS

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.- It is unofficially reported here that the fuel administration is seriously considering prohibiting the use of oil as fuel for private yachts.
 This act would be the result of the shortage of fuel throughout the nation. Many companies which for merly used coal as fuel for motive power changed their equipment dur ing the recent coal shortage of the winter to one in which they could use oil. This places an unforeseen strain on the oil supply of the Unit ed States. It is thought the order will only prohibit the use of fuel oil on those yachts which are used solely for pleasure, and will not af- feet the private yachts that are be- ing used in the government service an order is issued by the fuel ad- It is also understood that if such ministration it will only be for the duration of the war.

NO WATER BARS
 SLUICINC DUMPS

According to reports received from Little Eldorado, the Cold weather is holding back sluicing operations there. The cold nights have ma. terially reduced the flow of water, to such an extent that no effort is being made to make a cleanup, the entire time being put in in getting out dumps until such a time as the water is more plentiful.
 There are at present about eight outfits working there. and with the exception of one none are sluicing. The outfit that is enabled to do sluicing, Data, Bravick & Co.,, can only do so by pumping the water to the boxes, and then in a limited quantity only. The miners there are waiting for the warm weather to put in an appearance so that a cleanup may be held.

AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTION TO
 REMAIN OPEN

ROME. April g (By MaiD.-The Italian government has refrained from closing the International Insti- tute of Agriculture, owing to the ef- forts of David Lubin. it's American founder. The government had con- sidered the advisability of discon- tinuing its operations for the war period on the ground that the in. stitute had not withheld from Ger many it's published reports on the worlds food supply. Certain sus- picions were entertained by the gov ernment concerning some of the em- ployees of the institute. As the in stitute considers itself neutral or ganization, it has continued to give it's reports to Germany as before the war although, since 1914, Germany has not furnished any agricultural reports to the institute. Before the war Germany was one of it's strong est supporters. Recently it was charged that the German govern ment had tried to obtain control of

BAND CONCERT
 WELL RENDERED

At the Auditorium last night was given the concert by the Fairbanks band. The program was a we'll ar ranged one, the rendition of which received much enthusiastic applause from the audience.
 The attendance was very poor, much poorer than the merits of the concert demanded. The members of the band had practiced faithfully for some time in anticipation of giving the concert for the combined bene- fit of the yarn fund and for the pur- chase of new instruments for the band, but owing to the urgency of the Red Cross drive, sacrificed their own interests to assist a war meas ure.
 The receipts of the evening amount ed to about $115. While this is not the entire amount, there being tick. cts sold that are outstanding, it was not up to expectations. The dance following the concert was an enjoy able one and many couples were in attendance.

APPEARANCE OF
 VESSELS CAUSE
 OF SURRENDER

LONDON, April 30 (By MaiD.- One German submarine commander surrendered his vessel to a British destroyer in the Mediterranean mere ly because he was pursued by a lightship, asserts a British official eyewitness writing from italy
 The U.boat had just torpedoed a merchantman," he writes, Sighting a British destroyer coming up at full speed, the German made off as fast a5 she could below the surface, taking her bearings from lightship before submerging. Depth charges dropped by the destroyer exploded in unpleasant proximity, but the Ger mans were lucky. and after time they seemed to have reached safety. The captain, however, held on sub merged on the same course for some time. Then he came up again, hop ing to find himself without sail in sight.
 "To his horror, he found the same lightship and the same destroyer as near him as ever. Again taking his bearings from the lightship, he sub merged with all speed and set out once more on the same course. Again the destroyer made herself un- pleasant. and again the U-boat was lucky. Once more the German came up to see where he was. and again he found the lightship in the self same position, while the same de- stroyer was after him again. How long this tragi-comedy continued his tory does not relate. but when at last. after trying his utmost. the German commander found that he could not get away from the light ship and had exhausted his accumu- lators. he surrendered. convinced that there was magic in 1t.
 Only then did he learn the truth. The lightship was being lowed from her station for overhaul and refit under escort of a destroyer.

GERMANS SEIZE
 DUTCH STEAMER

AMSTERDAM, May 2l.-The Dutch steamship Agnela. bound from Stock. holm to this port, has been seized by a German naval vessel and taken to Swinemuende, Prussia. The com. mander of the Holland boat requested that he be given safe conduct to The Netherland waters. This was refused him by the German cap. tain. A crew of German sailors were then landed on the Dutch yes. sel and she was headed for the Prussian port.
 It is known that the German naval staff has decided to issue no safe conducts to Holland vessels until the conclusion of the negotiations which are now under way between Holland and Germany. These ne- gotiations are the result of the Ger. man government wanting the use of the Holland railroads in trans porting supplies. It is not known what effect the seizure of the steam. CT will have on the Holland govern. ment in regard to the pending ne. gotiatiOns

BOONE, la, May 21.--A tornado which today swept this city resulted in the death of three persons Be- tween fifty and one hundred people were injured. A good many of the injured are in a serious condition from which more deaths will prob ably result. A rough estimate oi the property damage places the loss at between $50O,OOO and $1,O0O, ,O0O. It is impossible to make a complete inventory of the loss sustained in property owing to the unsettled con dition of the town.

 The new park commission has many novel means of entertaining the public under consideration and will devote most of it's time to get. ting the park in such shape that events of various natures may be held at any time instead of making special preparations for it. One of the first things to be done will be the cleaning up of the bail grounds and getting them in shape for the summer games.

SECOND ISSUE OF CHURCHMAN
 IS EXCELLENT

The second edition of the Alaskan Churchman for the year 1918 is off the press and will soon be ready for distribution. This issue is really an elegant one and is profusely H. lustrated.
 Many interesting views are shown from all parts of Alaska, the photo work being exceptionally we'll done. bringing out all detail clearly. Chief of the views are those from Point Hope, well embellished with an arti- cle written by Wm. A. Thomas. who is in charge there.
 Throughout the entire issue ap. pear many interesting articles and photographs, depicting Alaskan life among the natives and the work done by the missions in their uplift- ing. The character of the work reaches from the shores of south eastern Alaska to the most extreme western point and conveys clear and comprehensive view of the work that is being performed by the mis. sions.
 The contributing articles are we'll written and worthy of perusal. The entire edition bespeaks great care in it's makeup, editorially and other wise.

DEATH SENTENCE BE PRONOUNCED
 TWENTY-EICHTH

SAN FRANCISCO. May 21.-On May 2S Thomas Mooney will be re. sentenced to hang for his participa. tion in the bomb explosions during the preparedness parade in 1916. Judge Franklin A. Griffin of the eu. perior court of California today de. nied the motion asking that the death sentence be set aside
 The attorneys for Mooney had in stituted proceedings requesting that all testimony in the previous trial be set aside and that Mooney be granted new trial. The motion was based on the grounds of wilful fraud, malfeasance and nonfeasance in the office of the district attorney
 The commission which was ap- pointed by President Wilson to in vestigate the alleged charges of fraud in the Mooney trial recom- mended in their report to the Presi- dent that he be given a new trial. This recommendation was transmit ted by the President to the governor of California. Mooney has the sym pathy of the majority of the labor unions throughout the United States, who believe that he is being rail roaded by the district attorneys of flee.
 At one time threats were made by the Bolsheviki government of Rus sia against the person of the United States ambassador unless the deci- sion in the Mooney case was re- versed. These were not carried out, however.
 A general strike which was to take effect throughout the country on May 1 as a token of sympathy from the unions to Mooney was called off on the convicted mans re- quest. Unless the governor of Cali fornia sees fit to commute the death sentence to one. of prison term or give Mooney a pardon, it Is en- tirely likely that he will hang on the date to be set May 2S.
