Francis p. Garvsn, Allen Property

ISOLATION OF Printing Ink Makers last
night some of the evidence upon which
his recent denunciation Of German bust
ness interests here and the German dye
industry In particular, was based.
He told the ink men at their dinner
at the Hotel Commodore that his as
sertions regarding the policy of German
trade interests here and the supervision
by Bernstorff. through DIR. Albert, OF
every possible form Of interference with
American trade were no mere surmises
or deducted from secondary evidence.
We have documentary proof" Mr..
Carvan said, over Bernstorrs own
signature. One of his reports to the
Foreign ONCE at Berlin, relating in the
greatest detail all the activities Of Dr.
Albert. was captured by the British
after Albert's recall Bernstorff was
endeavoring 10 show his superiors how
valuable Albert had been and how diff
cult II would be to replace him. and he
summarized all his assistants activi-
ties"
1t was perfectly possible for Germany
to have helped the United States at the
time of the first scarcity of dyes in 1914
and up to the very moment Of the issue
OF tho British Orders In Council. The
German dye industry rsfrained from ex-
tending assistance, Mr.. Garvan said, at
tho order Of the Imperial Government,
which wished to COW American business
by demonstrating Its dependence on Ger
many. Supplies Of saivarsan too. and OF
luminal. the only known specific for cpl
lepsy, which could only be obtained In
Germany At that time, also were delib-
erately withheld from this country, the
Allen Property Custodian declared, In
pursuance Of the same policy. Thu
amount Of luminal that was needed here
he said. would have been worth only
5000 and would have relieved untold
suffering
But Germany said. Let them suffer
and lot America see them suffer-" Mr.
Garvan declared. 80 that they may
know what II means to be on the side OF

The Allen Property Custodian has In
his possession, he said, the original OF
a letter from Bernstein to the Foreign

bassador to this country says: Now. II
you want TO do II, you can place an en-
600 American workingmen out of EN-.

For four years" Mr. Garvan said
the dye factories Of Germany have

with that form OF MANUFACTURE and

A despatch from Paris April 81 said
Mr.. Lloyd George had agreed to receive
Messrs. Walsh. Dunno and Ryan, the ar
rangement for the meeting having been
made by Col Edward NJ House at a
luncheon that day In the the home OF
the British Premier. Mr.. Lloyd George,
however. requested that the Americans
remain In Paris untn tho following week
as, owing to pressure Of business con-
nsoted with the peace treaty. he would
be unable to receive them earlier The
despatch added that 1t was expected the
Americans would take up with Mr. Lloyd
George the question Of his receiving
delegates from Ireland who were going
TO Paris.
A despatch from London, May 7, af-
tel Mr.. Walsh had visited ireland and
returned to London. quoted him as say
inlr that the Americans had had no con-
ference with Mr.. Lloyd George and had
requested none.
I'm fact" Mr.. Walsh added. I'VE sec
no reason why we should coonfer with
him."
Continuing Mr.. Walsh declared that
what the American delegation wanted
was safe conduct from Ireland TO Paris
for Prof. De Valera and a delegation
representing the Irish Republic" and
had made q request direct to Mr.. Lloyd
George. who answered that he wished
to confer with the Americans before act.
ing. but that his duties precluded his
seeing them In less than a week. Mr.
Walsh said that therefore he and the
other delegates went to Ireland, but that

left Paris yesterday to return to Amer

understood 70 have received much en-
couragement from Col. =. NJ. House
The reason for the failure Of his and
other attempts lately 10 because Presi-
dent Wilson has made Fiums O personal
matter, II would seem, to q greater
extent than any other question THAI has
como up here.
Many friends Of the President are sur
prissd at this incorporating attitude,
which argument only tends TO accontu-
ate. The Italians because Of this have
changed their tactics OF standing on the
ontire London treaty. This has brought
UP an interesting turn TO the problem Of
disposing OF the German colonies. Ar
ticle IS OF the London pact stipuiates
that should Itaiy's allies get any advan-
tage through the acquisition OF any part
OF Germanys colonies Italy must re-
ceive n corresponding compensat ior.
What has added to the Italian flames
Is that President Wilson and Premiers
| uted the German colonies the day be-
fore Premier Orlando returned. 1t
| seems now that while the official an
nouncement was not made until May
Z, the day the treaty was presented and
! the day Premier Orlando arrived, the
Big Three apportioned the colonies on
May 6.
Made virtual Recognition.
Premier Orlando, arriving the next
day. was astonished to learn from his en-
| associates that the colonies were all dis
| trfbuted. The only consideration given
| Italy was to appoint q, commission to
| examine Italy's claim under the London
pact. This pact was not mentioned in
the American announcement In approx
Ing the appointment of this commission
President Wilson virtually recognized
this part OF the London treaty after re-
fusing in his Fiume announcement to
| recognize It Whether this accounts for
Its being left out of the American an
| nounoement regarding colonies only can
be ground for speculation. However, the
| italians think they have caught the
| President in another Inconsistency.
France and Great Britain both have
said that they must recognise the Lon
| don treaty II italy insists This treaty
though not granting Flume TO Italy
does give her Dalmatia, all OF Istria and
the Dodecanesian Islands. which Presi-
dent Wilson opposed. The President
would give part OF Istria and Dalmatia
to the Jugio-Slavs and most OF the is
lands to the Greeks. Thus more en-
barassnent would be caused In many
minds than II the President yielded on

"SUNSHINE NAN" LAST TIME TONIGHT AT THE COLJSE JIM

A story of an ambitious little slum girl who rises to become the wife of a successful inventor is clev- erly portrayed by Ann Pennington in her latest Paramount picture, Sunshine Man. at the Coliseum Theatre for the last time tonight. Of course there were tremendous obstacles in the way of this trans formation, such as an enforced stay in a girls reformatory for a crime she had never committed, and the fighting of her way up afterwards as an office girl and stenographer. How she turned all this to good ac- count and lent a helping hand to many of her old friends from the alley" has been skilfully depicted by Miss Pennington. Director Charles Giblyn produced the pic ture from a scenadio by Eve Unsell. Alice Hogan Rice, the original au- thor, will be remembered as having written Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" "Lovey Mary" "Mr. Opp and others.

SPORTS

Tex Rickard the bigtime gamb- Ter, has started the sport world by offering Willard and Dempsey the largest purse in ring history. Rickard will pay IT Jess and L1 Jack just $127,5Ga for less than an hours work next Fourth of July af ternoon. Willard is to receive S100,- 0G0 in advance, win, lose or draw, and Dempsey will get $27,000.
 If anybody in the world but Rick ard made such an offer that person would be laughed out of town. but Tex has put over go many big pugilistic affairs that the public would nod approval of anything that he might do.
 However, the wise ones" are giv- ing the coming Willard Dempsey af- fair the well-known razz They feel that Rickard has Overstepped himself this time. Too much money to pay such fighters, they figure. Public interest does not warrant it, partic- ularly considering the great disfa vor in which Willard is regarded they continue. There is great dan ger that the governors of the var. ious States will prohibit the battle as they did when poor Les Darcy tried to box in the States. And if Rickard takes the bout outside the country it will be a rank financial
 failure.
 But Rickard seems to know whal he is doing. He has been laughed
 at before yet always managed to gel in the last snicker himself.
 He was giggled at when he pu the Gans-H Herman bout out in tho middle of a Nevada desert at Tono pah; but he did it.

 WHILE BLASTING
 AN OLD STUMP
Use a Rifle to Set Off the Dynamite in the Stump. Having no Caps for
 That Purpose.

Attempting to blow up stump at Big Port Walter James Gordon Barr, an employee of the cannery there, was accidentally killed by a premature blast on Tuesday of last week, according to word received in Juneau.
 The report of Dr. A. B. Cook. phys ician for the Alaska Pacific Herring Company, who attended the man gives the following account of the manner in which he met death.
 Mr. Barr had placed dynamite in the stump, which he was attempting to blast, without cap or fuse, to be discharged by a shot from hia rifle which was anchored to an ad- jacent stump. about four feet away, by rope and nails. A string was tied to the trigger and laid to a small building nearby, behind which he proposed to be when pulling the string to fire the gun. He. advised his companion, Var Carlson to go to a small building while he, Barr, was placing the cartridge in the gun. In closing the gun it was evi- dently discharged. Barr, broadly in a stopping posture was hit in the head by a large piece of the stump, which was thrown around by the explosion. The posteriOr of his head was torn away, he being thrown on his face and killed in stantly.
