CROSVOLD GIVEN THE DECISION IN
 FOX ISLAND CASE

By cable, from San Francisco re- ceived here yesterday, it was learned that the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has affirmed the decision of Judge Brown in the case of Andrew Grosvold vs. F. E. Whelpley. L. l.. James, Jr, of this city represented Grosvold as against J. Lindley Green, Donohoe x Dimond and R. J. Harrison.
 This case was tried before Judge Brown ir the summer of 1916 at Val dez, when judgment was rendered in favor of Grosvold permanent injunc- tion issuing from the Court restrain ing Whelpley or his agents from tres passing on Little Koniuji Island.
 Whelpley was on Little Moniuji lsl- and when the Department of Com inerce and Labor called for bids for leasing of said island from the United States for a period of five years. Bids were submitted to the Department by dn associate of Whelpley's and Mir. GWsvold. The Department accepted the bid of Grosvold. and issued to him a lease of this island from the United States for period of five years.
 Grosvold allowed Colwell, an em' ployee and agent of Whelpley's, cer- tain time out of his five year leasing period in which to trap Whelplcy's foxes already on said island and re- move all of Whelpley's personal prHp- erty. Subsequently,, Colwell vacated said island on September 1st, 1914, as agreed. Grosvold then took posses sion and planted said island with blue foxes. A shorttime thereafter Wheip- ley went upon said island and trapped foxes. This treSpass was repeated several times. Grosvold then brought suit in the District Court for the Ter litoly of Alaska, praying for an in- junction to issue forever restraining Whelpley or his agents from continu- ing this trespass. Judge Brown de- Cided m favor of Grosvold. issuing said permanent injunction. Whelpley took an appeal from this decision to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, sitting in San Francisco.
 The case was argued in San Fran cisco in the February 1918 term of the Circuit Court, and supplementary briefs (by both sides) written in San Francisco.
 Whelpley based his claim to the isl and on possessory rights, and claimed that the lease issued to Grosvold was void on the ground that the President of the United States had no authority to issue an Executive Order transfer ring the jurisdiction over this anu other islands to the westward from the Department of the Treasury to the Department of Commerce and Labor, and, further, that the Department of Commerce and Labor had no ju";sdic- ton of the Department of the Inter- for.
 Grosvold contended to the contrary, upholding the acts of the President of the United States and the Department of Commerce and Labor, and that his lease to said island was valid. Gros- void claimed tha= Little Koniuii isl- ands to the westward, was reserved from entry and set apart from the public lands (on

give the men time to take their be-
longings. One estimate was that the
! ship went down in rs minutes.
Red Cross workers were summon
ed to administer to the shivering sol
diers. Regarding possible loss of life
naval official here in authority
said: "Only incomplete information
is in the hands of the authorities OF
the port. Any loss of life must be
determined by checking up of the
muster roll"
The officers and other investigators
stated that no circumstances of a
suspicious character had been learn
ed but that the inquiry was continu-
ing.
The sinking of the America makes
the second transport thus put out of
commission in New York harbor since
the war. On April rs last the liner
st. Paul sank while being warped in
to her pier.
The America sank about 35 feet
of water and the raising of the ship
is not regarded as a difficult feat. 1t
was stated that court of inquiry
would be appointed.
A man of German ancestry was ex-
amined at length at the Offices of the
military police this afternoon and it
was reported he was under custody.
Six weeks ago, it was learned to-
day, an explosion of steam pipe on
the America cost the lives of two
men, several others being injured.
No fire or explosion accompanied to-
days mishap.
The America, then the Amerika,
sailed on her first voyage from New
York on October 25, 1905. To cele-
brate the event, a banquet was held
on board the liner the previous even
ing attended by representatives of
the majority Of steamship interests
of the port.
In August, 1914, she was in New
York and remained here until the
United States entered the conflict.
Then she was seized and taken over
by the United States shipping board
Wilful damage to the ship by the Of
ficers and men of her former crew
was repaired here at a cost of ap-
proximately $5OO,OOO.

final peace proposal but would not
operate to prevent the consideration
of an armistice when Austria seeks.
The same is true of the Turkish
appeal, and while not officially stated,
it is believed that the prime reason
for delay in reply to both these ap-
plications is to afford time for the
Presidents response to Germany's
peace proffer to filter to the masses in
Austria and Turkey through the rig
orous censorship that exists.
In the meantime, attention now
centers in the military situation and
renewed efforts to furnish the armies
closing in on the central powers all
the men and material to uchieve a
military victory.

TRANSPORT SINKS
AT HOBOKEN PIER
No Loss of Life Results, However,
Cause Not Explained.

Hoboken, N. j., Oct. 15.-Shortly
before the American troop transport
America, formerly the German trans
Atlantic passenger steamship Ameri'
ka, was about to sail today for Eu'
rope with soldiers and supplies the
vessel sank at her pier here.
In the early morning darkness,
while the troops aboard were sleep
ing, the America settled with her
keel in the mud, leaving only three
of her eight decks, together with
parts of her tunnels above water.
So far as was known there was no
loss of life. Earlier reports were
that between 80 and 90 of the crew
had perished after being trapped in
the boiler room.
Troops were placed on guard out
side the pier and details regarding
the sinking were denied to inquiries.
The cause of the accident remained
mystery even to navy department
officials. A theory expressed in some
quarters that water poured into the
holds as a result of uncompleted re-
pairs apparently did not conform
with the fact that the ship was ready
to weigh anchor today for foreign
port.
It was learned that a gang of ma
chinists was at work at the time the
vessel settled and it was suggested
that one of these men, being a civil
ian not familiar with marine mechan-
isms, inadvertently opened seacock
under the impression that he was
closing it.
The submerged America, next to
the largest of the governments trans
ports, was within sight of persons
crossing the lower Hudson River on
ferry boats.
Large Carrying Capacity.
The America of 1882 tons gross,
has a capacity for carrying 5000
troops and a crew of 1900 men. Of
the troops it was said that only 200
or 800 were on board at the time.
Nearly all the coal had been placed
in the bunkers.
Inasmuch as all the troops and the
crew are reported to have escaped,
it was believed the vessel sank slow
ly, although not so leisurely as to

Washington Oct. 15.-Internal po-
litical conditions in Germany and pos
sibly in Austria-Hungary as we'll as
the military situation on the western
front, are expected to determine the
nature and time of the German reply
to President Wilson's communication
of yesterday definitely closing the
door to peace negotiations with Ger
man autocracy. The Presidents note
probably already has reached Berlin
through the Swiss foreign office.
Reports reaching Washington TO-
day through official sources by way
of neutral countries not only indica-
ted the existence of almost chaotic
conditions in the central powers, but
also said that it was Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg himself who was re-
sponsible for the German government
accepting the Presidents peace terms
and seeking an immediate arnistice.
1t was said that at a recent meet
ing of the military leaders and the
heads of the parties in the reichstag
Won Hindenburg boldly declared that
Germany must have peace at once at
the best terms she could get. He
said the armies no longer had the
necessary munitions and materials
to continue the struggle, nor was there
any source of supply.
In the light of this situation, the
field marshal said he felt the time had
come to try first for an armistice and
then for peace and he urged that this
could be only in the light of conces-
sion to the demands of the Socialists
md pacifists in Germany.
Prince Macmillan, the chancellor,
is reported to have strongly opposed
such course, dreading reaction a.
gainst the junker element by the So
cialists, but imperial approval was
:iven Won Hindenburg's plans and the
request for peace followed.
No indication has been given as to
when replies will be made by Presi-
lent Wilson to Austria and Turkish
appeals for peace. 1t is understood
hat there is no ground for the appre-
tension which has arisen in Austria
hat the President would refuse to re-
,ly to Premier Burian's appeal be-
cause of the autocratic character OF
| he Austrian government. 1t was
aid that this might we'll figure in a

FORMER MAYOR PRICES HANDICAP.

N vERYoNE who knows former Mayor James F. Price
Z personally by reputation, sympahizes with him
because Of the fact that he has lost the sight OF one
eye through cataract and that the sight Of the other
eye is impaired seriously through sympathetic actual
progress of the disease All such persons are hopeful
that the surgical operation in contemplation will effect
a complete restoration Of the sight Of both eyes.
The former mayor is Of exceedingly friendly
trnperament With his close acquaintances he is sort
of haifellow-venet His chief grievance at present
is not that his eyes affected badly but that he
recognize old friends and acquantances when
he meets them in the street and elsewhere To make
matters worse FOR him. few such friends and acquant-
ances know that he is almost blind and many Of them
doubtless feel that he is negectful when he meets hem
Now wouldn't it be well. while former city
executive is such plight. for such friends and
quantances enter into gentle conspiracy to take the
initiative in such sautatlons whenever and wherever
they may encounter him.
Being firm believer in the creed that "if you would
have friends you must be friendly" the former Mayor
that he is walking in the twilight feels his present
handicap so keeny that his friends should do their
utmost to reduce that handicap to a minimum.
