SURVIVORS Landed in

LONDONDERRY, Feb. 9.--All the
American survivors from the Tus-
CANA, with the exception of about one
hundred sick or injured and party of
i42 who landed in Scotland. were to-
day quartered in two military camps.

land journey from the northern coast
where they were brought ashore, was
their first ride in the native toylike
trains, and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
The news had spread through the
countryside that the Americans were
coming IN special trains, and at each
little railway station groups of farm
er folk had gathered to catch a glimpse
OF the troops and wave friendly greet
ing, to which the Americans were con-
stantly making acknowledgment.
Scottish troops piped the Americans

All day long steady stream of
names of the saved flowed in over the
cables and telegraph wires and was
given right Of way over all except the
most urgent business. Despite the

There were no new official figures on

The strike is fresh outbreak of the
labor troubles which have been dor
mant since last October.
In the riots during the first day of
the strike the destruction of property
in the city of Buenos Ayres alone
amounted to 100000 pesos. Fully
one-half of this loss was in wheat, corn
and linseed, which was burned at the
suburb of San Martin.
Previous dispatches have indicated
that German agents have been active
in fomenting labor troubles in Argen-

done in the United States.

ROBBERY CASE Is NOW

The Tonopah Times has the fol-
regarding me of the men
arrested in Goldfield some months
ago in connection with the hold,
up at the Mozart saloon:
The Nevada state prison bulle-
tin for the month of October, re-
ceived at police headquarters
yesterday, states that George
Smith, alias Fred Richards, alias
Fred Harris, who was sentenced
to serve from one to Is years in
the penitentiary for first-degree
burglary, committed at Nina last
summer, is wanted by the prison
authorities in Arizona, as he had
violated his parole. He was sent
up in that state on a grand lar
ceny charge.
Smith was arrested several
times while in Tonopah. The
last time he was taken into GUS
tody he was found guilty of hav-
ing robbed the North-Ferguson
store at Manhattan. He was
sentenced to six months in the
county Jail for this offense.
When Officer Benton caught
Hickey, near Odds drug store, after
the shooting in the Mozart and
took him around to the Main street
entrance Smith was there. He
had been telling people to keeI

that Hickey had nothing to do with

INGENIOUS SYSTEM IS USED in
ARMY TO find POINTS ON MAP

CAMP KERNEY, San Diego, Cal.
Nov. Is. An ingenious system
was in use in the American army
for the location on a map of any
designated point. Six figures, cas-
lily transmitted by wireless or 9TH
er signal methods, did the trick.
The only essential was that the
point first be located on a map
ruled into squares of the same
proportion as that on a map at the
receiving end. The map did not
need to be the same size of scale,
but the reference lines were 1000
meters apart. That is, on a map
where one inch represents a dis
lance of 1000 meters on the ground.
the reference lines were n inch
apart.
In giving the locations, the first
number sent indicated the vertical
reference line. Generally maps
supplied to officers covered only
the area in which they were work
ing or expected to work, and these
seldom had more than 10 reference
lines. If there were only 10,
the last digit of the reference lines
number was the first figure sent;
If more, the reference line was in
dicated plainly by sending other
numbers preliminary to designat-
ing the point.

ALLEGED KIDNAPER
is ARRESTED HERE

Walter Jackson, wanted in Tono-
pah for the alleged kidnapping of
his ~five-year-old son while the child
was playing near the home of its
grandmother, was arrested here
yesterday by Deputy Sheriffs b.
gard and Box. Jackson, believed
to have been on his way to Cali
fornia, was travelling in an auto
mobile which broke down near
Ida. He asked Kenneth Collins
to take him to California, accord
ing to reports, but Collins said he
told him this would be impossible,
but that he would take him to
Goldfield. This Collins did and
Jackson was recognized on his ar
rival here. The child was with
him and vas suffering from a Sc
vere cold. Both were taken to
Tonopah yesterday afternoon by
Chief of Police Grant. Mrs. jack
son, mother of the child, stated in
Tonopah, following the alleged kid
mapping that she had feared her
young son would be taken, as she
said her husband had made
threats.
Jackson returned to Goldfield
this morning and said he had been
released from custody after he had
shown that there was ne legal rea-
son why the child should not be
in his possession. The child re-
mains with the mother in Tonopah.
According to Jackson, while he
and his wife have. been separated
for some time, there have been no
legal proceedings. He said his
wife left him while he was employ
ed in a smelter in Douglas, Ariz.,

SEWARD, Alaska, Nov. Is. =
No more trips to the westward
will be made by the Dora, a stor-
led little steamer which for years
has braved the bad waters lying
off that remote part of Alaska
west of Seward strung out along
the mainland, Unalaska and the
Aleutian islands.
The boat has been taken from
the western run and sent to Seat
tie. In her place has come the
Eloise, a small, yacht-like gas boat
from Portland, Ore. On her first
trip north the Eloise proved her
worth and also got a taste of her
future when she ran into an IL
day gale and was forced to put
into Ketchikan, Alaska.
But staunch as the Eloise may
be, Alaskans to the westward will
miss the Dora, for during these
many years they have come to look
to her for almost everything. The
hundreds she has carried back and
forth will regret to learn of her
passing from the run.
To the fishermen, cannerymen,
prospectors and natives of the
westward, the Dora was the news
popor tho orooarx boy tho mail
carrier, the supply bearer and
even a Santa Claus. Every year
just before Christmas she made it
a point to leave Seward in time to
get the Xmas mail and packages
west before the holidays.
