EIGHTY DIE IN FRENCH MOVIE
 THEA1ER FIRE

VALENCE-SUR-RHONE, France, June 2.-The destruction of a great moving picture theater in this city last night by fire, caused the death of eighty women and children and the injury of more than one hun dred others.
 There were over four thousand spectators in the show house when the fire started, and despite the ef- forts of many cool headed persons in the audience to prevent it, there was a mad rush for the exits and many of those who lost their lives were crushed by the panic-stricken crowd. Many of the injured were unable to get out of the theater and perished in the flames.
 The fire started in the operators cabinet and spread rapidly to the rest of the building, but it is be- lieved that everyone in the theater could have been saved but for the panic.
 The bodies of fifty-three women and children were removed from the ruins of the theater today, and many of them, in addition to being charred, give mute evidence of the terrible rush for the exits. Some of the bodies are crushed and trampled beyond resemblance to a human being.

VANCOUVER LABOR
 OPPOSED ID MOVE

VANCOUVER, B. C., June o. Although a canvass of the labor vote on the proposal to call a gen. eral strike has not been completed, sufficient number of votes have been counted to warrant the pre- diction that Vancouver labor will not walk out in sympathy with the Winnipeg strike, which began last month. It is expected that local union officials will announce the re- suit of the vote before the end of the day and that the announcement will be to the effect that Vancouver unionists have voted against the strike proposition.
 Should the vote be favorable, a general strike probably will be called tomorrow.

YORK WILL NOT LOSE STANDING
 IN THE CHURCH

FALL MALL, Tenn, June 2.-- Second Elder Alvin York will not lose his standing in the Church of Christ because of his activities on the firing line in France. Pastor Pile set all fears at rest at ycster- days service, one Of the most largely attended in tEe history of the church, when he welcomed Americas greatest fighting man back into the fold, explaining that York had merely done his duty as a soldier when he killed German foes, and should be honored by the church as he was by his country. It had been previously reported that York would be communicated because he had killed a score or more of Germans during his stay in France, thus violating his oath as aa elder.
 The church was filled with noun taineers who came miles to welcome the returned hero.

JUNEAU EMPIRE SAYS COAST |S
 WITH GR|GSBY

JUNEAU, June 2.-Jones is not endorsed by organized labor. Grigs- by's big vote in Southeastern Alaska will be from the miners and work ingmen, just as was Sulzer's. Jones is being urged by Wickershamites be- cause they think his election would improve Wickersham's chance for contest.
 Grigsby's record in eight-hour bill was satisfactory to Dunn and Pen nington, authors of the measure. Both agreed that his decisDn or first bill was correct and gladly changed the measure to meet his objections. Both Dunn and Pen nington are for Grigsby in the pres ent election. Dunn, who has been at Sitka Hot Springs since the ad- journment of the legislature, has just left for the Interior, and be- for his departure, declared that Grigsby had made an excellent at torney general, that his position on labor questions is sound and that he should be elected delegate.
 Judge Jennings denies that he refused to excuse Jones from jury service in order to conduct. his cam paign. The judge declares that Jones has not asked to be excused, reports to the contrary notwith- standing.

NENANA OUTFIT READY ID MINE
 ON BIRD CREEK

To Captain c. F. Grifiths, the well-known mining man, and asso- ciates belong the distinction of be- ing the first mining men from the interior of Alaska to come through Broad pass during the winter with horses, says a recent issue of the Anchorage Times. The trip was made through the pass without mis- hap and the horses landed safely at Talkeetna.
 Captain Grifiths and associates will work during the coming sea son on their mining property To- cated on Bird creek, in the Cache Creek district. The supplies were ordered in Seattle by Captain Grif- fths while still at Nenana, and his plans called for their delivery at Talkeetna at the time of his ar rival here from Broad pass. He arrived with his horses the day the train arrived at Talkeetna from Anchorage, and just in tune to take the supplies across the Susltna river. He expected to De On the property by May 10 and to at once begin the work of hydraulic min ing.
 That Cache creek is rapidly com ing into prominence is evidenced by the fact that its possibilities have attracted the attention of Captain Griffiths and his associ- ates, all of whom are well-known mining men from the Interior. With the captain are Arthur Paul, successful placer miner from the Dawson country; Frank McGibney, a successful operator in the Mar shall country, and E. s. Smith and Charles Davidson, both we'll known in the Interior.
 Captain Griffiths is booster for good roads, and says that with the expenditure of s5O,OO0 on the Tal- keetna-Cache creek road, the Cache creek mining district will become the best placer diggings in the In- terior of Alaska. In connection with his placer holdings he owns considerable quartz property, and he says that with the completion of winter road he will begin the transporting of ore from the dig. gings to Talkeetna. He expects t9 haul ore out and supplies back in with the use of his stock.

 Voters of Nenana precinct will cast their ballots at the frehall The Nenana precinct includes the town of Nenana and the railroad camps on the north side of the Panama river. The camps along the railroad south of Nenana are in- cluded in 35-Mile precinct, the poll

The league was denounced by the Californian as combination of armed forces in gigantic war trust. The Paris conference, he said, dared not amend the league so that declarations of war in the future would be decided by a vote of the people instead of by rulers. The league had strapped to it every idealistic purpose it had ever had and it rivets chains of tyranny upon millions of peoples.
 The senator pointed to the Slan- tung decision as one example of the unfairness of the league framers.
