QUEEN MARIE IS
LOYAL TO CAUSE
Says Had Rather Abdicate Than
Rule Over Her Country Under
Rule of Kaiser.

AMSTERDAM, May 1O.-German
newspapers reaching this city today
state that Queen Marie, of Rumania,
has publicly announced that she will
never recognize a treaty with Ger
many. She says that she had rather
abdicate than reign over her country
under a German rule. Her children
are of the same opinion. The queen
further states that she will never
lose any opportunity to insult Ger
mans in Rumania. The kaiser's
methods of warfare and cruelty to
small, weak nation and helpless wo-
men and children has caused feel
ing of hatred that can never be for
gotten.

WAR PATH AGAIN
-Four Hundred Anarchists Made
Prisoners After An All-Night
Fight In Moscow

ZURICH, May 10.-According to
information received in this city to-
night, an all day battle has been in
progress between an army of anar-
chists and the Bolsheviki forces at
Moscow, which has resulted in the
Imprisonment of four hundred an
archists in the Kremlin. The fight
was caused by the refusal of the
anarchists to surrender the great
quantities of munitions and machine
guns in their possession. The Boil
sheviki troops stormed all places
where munitions and supplies were
stored. Newspapers report an esti-
mate of sixty thousand : anarchists
living in the city of Moscow at this
time.

Man Who Talked Loudest Again t
Airplane FUNK, Sought Finan-

WASHINGTON, d. c May 10
Official documents which are on file
in this city show that Gutzon Borg
lum, the sculptor, whose charges
against the American aircraft pro-
gram led up to the impending con-
gressional inquiry, was connected
with negotiations for the establ-
lishment of a new aircraft producing
corporation. The documents also
show that Borglum was to be a
silent partner in the enterprise,
which sought to benefit through dis
crediting the present aircraft or
ganization.
The exposure has caused a pro-
found sensation here and has ma
terially lessened the clamor for a
congressional inquiry. 1t is con-
sidered probable, however, that con-
gress will proceed with the probe,

of the delay in producing air ma

PLAN TO REDUCE
OPERATING COST
Fairbanks Association Discusses the
Proposition of Shipping Coal
From Nenana.

The Miners association of the
Fairbanks district held a meeting at
the upper town this week for the
purpose of discussing the possibili-
ties of getting Nenana coal to their
mines during the present season.
The meeting was very largely at
tended, and it was pointed out that
operations necessarily would be
greatly curtailed this summer and
fall unless it is possible to obtain
cheaper fuel.
1t was suggested that an effort
be made to secure barges for use
in hauling the coal up the river, in
case the railroad between Nenana
and Fairbanks is not completed by
the time the line is extended south
to the coal fields, the object being
to lay in a sufficient supply before
the freezeup, to last the camp
throughout next winter.
Committees were appointed to in
quire into the matter and it is ex-
pected that definite action will be
taken at an early date.
