 May Smooth Out Tangle.
 In publishing an open record of pending litigation it is understood that the News does not do so with any idea of embarrassing the question. It is also understood that plaintiffs con- tention as set out represent only one side. It is learned unofficially that Mr.. Grote has never had any intention of abandoning the work, but has re- gently made tests with small drill to ascertain the best way to pass through the 95 feet of quicksand that has given him so much trouble. He is said to have determined upon method ana has arranged to put it into effect as soon as the material arrives. It IS also understood that he has spent great deal of money so far, and 1t IS indicated that possibly all differences will be smoothed out. He has recent ly received a car of new casing at the well. It is fully expected that everything will soon be cleared up and that the work will be resumed and drilling continued.

LINER FOUNDERS; NEARLY
 FIFTY LOST AT SEA
Ship Strikes Reef on California Coast; IS Are Missing; Crashes ill
 Dense Fog.

Eureka, Cal, Aug. 7.-Twelve bodies have been brought here out of a list of 36 passengers and 12 of the crew missing from the wreck of the cast wide steamer Alaska, which struck a rock in Blunts reef 40 mles south of here, and sank last night.
 Ninety-six passengers and 70 of the crew were brought here late today by the steamer Anyox, which arrived at the scene of the wreck today in time to pick up these survivors from drifting lifeboats and from among the wreckage.
 The Alaska was bound from Port land Ore, to San Francisco. Capt. Harry Hobbey, skipper of the wrecked vessel missing, and is believed to have gone down with his ship.
 4 dense fog concealed the treach- eous rocks of the Blunt's reef, which proJects far into the ocean, when the Alaska crashed at $40 o'clock last night. Within go minutes the crippled steamer listed, turned and sank to within four feet of the tips of the masts.
 The passengers were placed in lifeboats, but one overturned as 1t was lowered into the water
 Captain Hobbey and two passengers were the last on the ship. The cap tain is missing. He was without life preserver One of the two passengers, George Glenn of Nebraska, was sav- ed. The Anyox, with the known 166 survivors, arrived here late today.
 According to the stories of the sur yivcrs three lifeboats were launched. The last was but a few yards from had listed to starboard, suddenly righted, end then plunged, bow first
 George Glenn, who with another pas senger and the captain were the last men cn the ship, came to the surface a short time afterward, and finally found an empty life boat. Others were strugglln, in the water. The Anyox, towing a barge to Vancouver, was 12 miles distant when the first s. o. s. signals of the Alaska flashed out.
 Within an hour the Anyox arrived at the wreck, and with order that won high praise from the survivors the crew of the AnyoX speedily picked up those who were drifting in life preservers or in life boats.
 Through the night. other ships join- ed in the rescue work.
 The Alaska, of the San Francisco and Portland steamship company, left Portland Friday with 131 passengers, of whom 125 were in the cabin and eight in the steerage. Most of the passengers were summer tourists. The Alaska hailed from the home port of Port Towsent, Wash. Its net tonoge was 1,379, and it's length 327 feet. Her normal crew numbered 45. She was built at Chester, Pa, in 1889.

or rather we are only using it par tially. We do not require it for our domestic uses. Some people are actual ly advising we should export it. But it is still coming to this country at an enormous rate. It has come here to the extent of $5OO,OO0,0O wihin the last IS months. It is coming here now in great sums and we are not using it, and the rest of the world is being deprived of it. Why can we not use that gold as the basis for an international currency? Why can We not have an international dollar which can finance international op- erations? And why cannot this bank, with this enormous power, become great clearing house through which all the exporting and importing of this country and all other countries could be done. A clearing house in which somebody would be able to tell what the exchange would at least "A hours in advance?"

WANTS U, s. TO BACK
 X BANK OF NATIONS
Senator Hitchcock Has Plans to Stab ilize International Exchange.
 10 Finance Commerce.

Washington, Aug. 7.-InternatiOnal exchange problems probably will be given consideration by Congress as result of the active interest taken in the problem by Comptroller of the Currency Crissenger and by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who has asked the Senate Banking and Currency Committee to hold hearings on his bill, which proposes the creation of a bank of nations
 MT. Crissenger and Senator Hitch cock are working along somewhat different lines, but both have in mind the creation of an agency which will help to stabilize international exchange.
 The Hitchcock bill establishes a bank of nations, with a capital of S2,- 400, ,OOO, ,OO0; it provides that the secre- tary of the Treasury shall subscribe to $1,3OOO0O,000 to that capital for the United States, paying one-third of it in gold and two-thirds in bonds, which he has under his control. These bonds or French bonds or any other bonds of solvent nations The bill provides that S2OO,OOO, ,0O0 of the stock of the bank shall be sold to the American people, principally to bankers, ex- pcrters and importers interested in international commerce. The remain ing $9O0,O00,000 of the capital would be offered to the other nations of the world with the privilege of pay ing one-third in gold and two-thirds in acceptable bonds. The bill permits the other nations by treaty made by the president of the United States to establish their rights as stockholders in the bank.
 Opp0se Drawing on Treasury.
 Criticism is directed against the Hitchcock bill on the ground that 1t provides for governmental participa- tion in the banking business. Senator Mclean of Connecticut, who is chair man of the Committee on Banking and currency, before which the bill is pending believes that if bank of this kind is established the capl- tal should come from private persons and not be taken out of the Treasury of the United States. Leading bank CTS of the country held the same view. Senator Hitchcock, i'll answer ing these arguments, contends that such bank to be successful must have the power of the government be- hind it and that furthermore it must have the backing not only of the gov- ernmen of the United States, but of union of governments.
 Senator Hitchcock believes that bank of nations of this kind could greatly aid in stabiEzing financial conditions of the world. The pro- posed bank would have authority to issue currency to be known as the in- ternational dollar.
 To Finance Commerce.
 q would dedicate the bank of na- tions to the financing of international commerce." said Senator Hitchcock in discussing his scheme. It would authorize it to buy and sell exchange. to lend money to importers, to export CTS and to banks engaged in financing exporting and importing. would au- thorize it to issue currency against gold reserve, that currency to be the international dollar.
 At the present time in the United States we have one-half of all the gold in the world. We have as much gold here now as all of the other na- tions combined. We are not using it,

Herman l.. Grote, the promoter of the Arden test well, had two suits til- ed against him last week. One is suit in Chancery brought by D. K. Lewis as agent for land owners to set aside leases held by MT. Grote. The other is suit by F. K. Hardy and l.. s. Lakin, Jr., brought in Circuit Court for large damages on account of alleged failure of Grote to comply with any part of the contract with them, said contract being part of the records in theScase. The two suits have been brought by Johnson X Shaver, attorneys for plaintiff, and are on record. The complaint in the law case of F. K Hardy and l.. $. Lak1n Jr quotes from the contract under date of September 2, 1920, between the plaintiffs and Grote as defendants as follows:
 "Tha parties of the first part IGrote) is to select 320 acres in oil and gas leaess in township 12 and 13, range 3o and 31 west, Little River county, Ark- ansas, now in or to be put in escrow with o.

Lewis The parties of the second part nave assigned to them one 320 acre offset to drilling well when leases are delivered to said first party by MT. Kolb. The party of the first part to assign all undivided one-half interest i'll all re- maining leases taken under contract executed by and between Ii. l.. Grote and D. K. Lewis at the time same are delivered to him.
 Int plaintiffs allege that they have norformed their part of the contract and that the defendant has refused to nerform any part of his. That he re- fnsed to turn over to them 32O acres as agreed and later half of the other 5000 acres, which Grote received from Mir. Kolb; that he has sold part or the 
 leases to third parties without thelr knowledge or consent. They ask what they consider a reasonable mar ket value for the leases as damages.
 Under the contract Of the plaintiffs with Grote they were to as- sist him in blocking the acreage, after which Hardy was to remain on the oround and superintend the drilling or the well. Lakin was to remain Ill NC" York and place the leases during the drilling. They claim that Grote is now unable to assign any leases to them for the above reasons and be- cause suit has been filed against hlm to declare the leases void
 Property Owners Sue.
 The other suit is styled D. K. Lewis ct al against Herman l.. Grote. MT. Lewis represents all the land owners who gave the leases. This complaint declares, and their contract with Grote sets forth that Grote was to spud in December 1st, 1920, and was to drill 15OO feet. He was to receive part of the leases when the derrick was erected and the remainder when

The severe epidemic of typhus fever

been conclusively shown that the in

parasite is the immediate baking or
