ACTION TAKEN. BY COMMITTEE
 IS FAVORABLE
IMMIGRATION COMMITTEE RE- TURNS FAVORABLE REPORT ON MEASURE WHICH PROPOSES THE DEPORTATION OF FIFTY ONE ALIEN ENEMIES.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-R-The immigration committee of the house rendered a favorable report this even. ing on the measure which proposes the deportation of fifty-one alien enc. mics. The committee vote was un. anirlOus.
 These aliens are now being held by the government for violations of various war statutes but it is con. sidered to be better for the country as whole if the men are deported instead of being sentenced to serve a term in prison. The action of the committee practically insures the passage of the bill.
 It is entirely probable a number of other deportations will be made by the federal government as the are now inclined to this policy of dealing with undesirable aliens. Altho no action, as yet, has been taken to ship them from the country, number of aliens, besides those covered by the resolution, are now being held on various federal charges.

tire battle. Weber who visited his uncle here, wrote the account in a memorandum book on the day of the fight. It reads:
 Some one cries, 'Look!' and point ed skywards. Quickly turning my eyes in the direction indicated, saw them come together-a mighty crash and some smoke. There was mo- ment of suspense. Then both turn ed their noses towards the earth.
 "The black one sped downward like bullet. It was German. The other, silver colored, seemed to wilt and fall. It was American. A long, long way and then the clouds-they could not be seen for a few seconds. Then out they came, the Boche far ahead. It seemed as if the Yankee machine would right itself. It kept turning round and round, the tail al- ways pointing upward. Sometimes it dipped until it was almost horizontal. felt my whole body sway with it. l knew it was the last struggle of an intrepid aviator, but it was all in vain. My face grew hot and feverish, my fist clenched. as against the golden clouds of a beau tiful sunset l saw his machine crash headlong to earth for the last time"
 The battle took place over the Ger man lines and it was two days be- fore Weber knew he had witnessed the death of Quentin Roosevelt.

LABOR TROUBLE
 STOPS PAPERS

BERNIE. July 23-(P)-For the past few days there has been no street car transportation or daily papers in Vienna owing to strike of nearly every worker in the city. The walk out went into effect Monday and, while not at first on a large scale, soon became general until now the only business places being kept open are the bakeries and food shops.
 So far no disorders have resulted from the general strike altho there are large numbers of the unemployed constantly congregated along the principal streets. It is believed the food shops and bakeries will not be molested as the strikers realize they are essential to the existence of the people.

NO REASON FOR STAMPEDE SAYS
 ERNIE PARSONS
GOOD PROSPECTS FOUND ON BET TIES RIVER AT SCENE OF AL LEGGED STRIKE, BUT NOTHING TO WARRANT A BIG STAMPEDE AT PRESENT.

According to information brot tc town by people from the Koyukuk region on the steamer Reliance yes. terday. there is nothing in the pros. poets uncovered on Bettles river last spring to warrant a stampede to that district at this time n I fact there is nothing new from there and no work has been done by the "discoverers" since last spring and probably will not be until next winter.
 Five men are at present on the ground where prospects have been found. These are Jim Kelly. Frank Howard, Jack Holzer, Ernest Collins and George Eaton. All the ground on the creek has been staked
 Ernie Parsons. who has been in that district as N. c. representative for the past year. stated that from all indications there is a good chance that the country will turn out all right. But it will have to be developed in the future as nothing definite in the way of pay has been lined up.
 This is not the time for stampede to the Koyukuk, in the opinion of Mir. Parsons. No work will be done until next winter and it will be next spring before the value of the creek will be known. Everything is staked now, and lays can be secured next year If anything develops during the winter. Men going to the Koyukuk should have $1,OOO in cash or it's equivalent in grub when they get there, as it will take that amount to run them thru the winter, according to MT. Parsons.
 Another arrival from the Koyukuk confirms Mir. Parsons report on the Bettles river prospects. There is no excitement there over the creek. Along the lower river, he said there IS some notice being given the Hog river country, where good prospects are said to have been found recently. About thirty-five men from Ruby re- gently went in there and returned to Ruby to make preparations for spend. ing the coming winter on Hog river. The ground there is said to be shal low and wet, but number of the old timers are convinced that something good will be found there next winter. Hog river is 300 miles from the mouth of the Koyukuk river.

BROWNE IN FOR
 A SHORT STAY
ENGINEER IN CHARGE VISITING LOCAL OFFICES OF ENGIN-
 EERING COMMISSION.

F. D. Browne, charge of the ynterior divisions of the Alaskan railroad, arrived here from his Nenana headquarters yesterday. He will remain here until the steamer Yukon's departure down river next week.
 According to MT. Browne. the com mission has received all the money remaining out of the original $35,- 100000 appropriated by congress for the construction of the railroad, a little over $4.O00,00O. About half of this, according to MT. Browne, win be required to settle up for expendi lures of the last fiscal year, the re- mainder to be used for the work dur ing the present fiscal year.
 The failure of congress to approve the recommendation for an addi. tional sum large enough to complete the road in 1921, said MT. Browne, fs serious disappointment to the A. E. C.. but it is hoped that remedial leg islation already introduced will be speedily passed and additional funds available in time to insure continuous work. The lack of funds. he said. is preventing him from building all the road he had planned and could con- struct this season. "But," he con tinued, "the road will be completed between Fairbanks and Nenana this fall"
 MT. Browne plans to hold most of his present force together during the coming winter if funds are availa- ble. Those retained will be put to work in the ,Nenana canyon where

He alleges that his wife often i'm portuned him to deed and convey his property in Alaska, in Pacific county Washington, and elsewhere, to her on the plea that if he became helpless she could better take care of him. He finally did so, but, he says, with the understanding that if he got well she was to recohvey the property to him or deed it back. He says she prom, i' ed to do this and even went so far, as she said, as to make out a memo randum to that effect.
 Finally, he alleges, he made demand for the reconveyance of his property and he declares she then told him that she never intended to reconvcy it.
 The matter was heard here before Judge Hewen this week and the plain tiff made good showing. Judge
 !rwen took the matter under advise ment. Subsequently the wife sent town affidavits tending to show that she and her husband had patched up differences on the day he took the beat for Alaska, June 26, and she al l gNs he had telephoned his attorneys to withdraw the suit. Now his at neys ask for time to bring in counter affidavits disproving the wife's claim of compromise. It is one of the most unusual suits brought in
