Associated preSs)


 SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 28.-An- drew Selness. who was steering the steamer Mariposa at the time it was wrecked several weeks ago, was to- day suspended for five months by federal steamboat inspectors for neg ligence. The sentence dates from the day of the accident.
 Selness was found guilty of negli- gence and unskilfulness and was se- verely reprimanded. The other off cers of the vessel were held to be blameless. The Mariposa was wreck ed on the coast of Alaska, and all efforts to salvage the ship and cargo were unsuccessful. The ship itself was broken in two few days later by heavy storm which prevented the salvage tug from saving the cargo.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28. The supreme court tonight or dered that the sentences imposed upon Emma Goldman and Alex. ander Bergman for conspiring to defeat the registration and draft regulations be carried at once, refusing to grant further delays which have been asked for by the council for the two agita- tors. This will effectively close the case. which has been hard fought by both the government and the accused.
 Both of the convicted persons urged young men of eligible mili- tary age to refuse to register and respond to draft summons, and called upon them to assert their constitutional rights. They were convicted in the federal courts of New York for conspira. cy and sentenced to a term in the federal penitentiary and to pay a ten thousand-dollar fine.

THRIFT STAMPS
 STILL SELLING
 AT GOOD RATE

According to reports from both banks and from the post office, the thrift stamps and war stamps are selling as good or even better than they did on their first being put on sale here. Yesterday was one of the best days yet in the sale of both kinds of stamps, and people now seem to be buying the stamps as a means of saving instead of as a mere whim. Children are getting the habit of taking their twenty-five cent pieces and buying thrift stamps with them, ana even grown-ups are getting the habit. The four-minute talks which are being given every few nights by prominent speakers of the city on the war and thrift stamps. how they can be used and what they are for. seem to be help- Ing the sales, and keep the matter before the public.
 The interior of Alaska has so far had an excellent record with regard to its support of the government in these war savings sales. and there Is every indication that such will be the case in the future.

Especial Dispatch to The Tribunc)
BUFFALO, July 17.-Because. as it
explains in its final edition, the Ger
man language newspaper in the United
States has served it's purpose, "The
Buffalo Demokrat" suspended publica-
tlon to-day, after an existence of
eighty years. The "Demokrat" was one
of the most influential German language
papers in this part of the Empire State.
Frank C. B. Held, it's owner, explains
the dlscontinuance as follows:
There is pronounced prejudice now
against everything German, and the
German reading public. is taking up the
purely American ideas. This is evil
denced by the dropping of German
names in connection with societies, hos
pltals and other institutions. The Ger
man language is nos longer being taught
IN the schools, and there is even an
avoidance of talking the language in
public: These conditions have affected
the advertiser who is quick to realize
these signs of the times"
Mr.. Held said he thought the major
lty Of so-called Germans in this coun-
try, residents of German extraction. are
loyal to the United States He based
his opinions largely on the fact that
despite the "Demokrat" championed
this country's cause in the most un-
qualified manner, there was practically
no comment on the part of the readers
and the falling off in circulation was
inconsequential

They Propose Launching of
Record Number of Vessels
to Help Beat Germany
Men Originate Idea
Offer Made to Shipping Board
From Pacific Coast De-
lights Officials

WASHINGTON, July 17.-American
labor has proposed to the Shipping
Board that Labor Day this year shall
be made second Fourth Of July by the
launching of record number of ships
to help defeat Germany.
Chairman Hurley to-day referred the
proposal to Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of Labor,
who will take up the question with
unions on the Pacific Coast, where the
suggestion originated, with a view to
making the celebration national if it
meets general approval
Officials of the Shipping Board ware
dellghted by the proposal, but they feel
that, as the suggestion had come spoN-
taneously, from the men themselves, it
should be developed by them, without
any urging.
There were ninety-fve hulls made
ready for launching July 4, ahead of
the time set for their completion. This
addition was the greatest ever made to
any nations tonnage in single day.
1t is believed an attempt will be made
to equal or surpass these figures on
Labor Day.
German propaganda has been turned
against the shipbuilding industry in a
vain effort to stem the growing output
of ships which are to carry men and
munitions to Europe.
Statements maliciously circulated to
the effect that more men are being
killed and injured in the construction
of ships than in the trenches in France
were denied officially tonight by the
Shipping Board. In the Hog Island
yard, which was said to be fair ex-
ample of what has been accomplished d
by the boards accident prevention
work, the accident rate in May was only
six per 1000 men, as compared with
the pre-war average of 21.8, reported by

"The rate of accidents is constantly
decreasing" said an official statement,
"and it is confidently predicted that
within the next few months the ship
yards will be showing lower rate than

Editor Is Elected
From Treason Trial

PARIS, July 1.-THE proceedings of
the second day of the trial of Louis
Malvy, former Minister of the Interior,
charged with high treason, were over
shadowed by the feeling of elation at
the failure of the German offensive,
Parsians ignoring the Senate cham
ber, which looked deserted as COM
pared with the squares in which the
newspapers were being sold
The reading Of the remainder of the
indictment against M. Malvy occupied
more than three hours. The second
part of the indictment related more
especially to Malvy's intimacy with
persons of unsavory reputation, includ-
ing Miguel Almereyda and others con-
nected with the "Bonnet Rouge"
Referring to M. Malvy's association
with certain newspaper men, M. Peret,
former Minister of Justice, who read
the indictment, created a sensation
when he mentioned the newspaper
"Eveil." The editor of this publication,
Jacques Dhur, who occupied seat in
the gallery, protested vigorously and
asked that he be heard.
The Senators refused to interrupt
the proceedings, but as M. Dhur in
sisted upon making an explanation
immediately guards were called and he
was elected from the building.
