SEN, NEW PROPOSES
CONSOLIDATION Of

Introduces Bill Effecting Prac-

Washington, Aug. 11.-Conso
of government functions and duties
having to do with the territory of
Alaska under the department of the
interior, is proposed in bill introduc-
ed Wednesday by Senator New, Repub-
ican, Indiana. 1t will be taken up for
consideration by the senate territories
committee of which Mr.. New is chair
man.
The bill also would establish through
transportation service from the main
land of the United States by author
izing the president to draw from the
shipping board ships necessary. They
would work in connection with the
government owned rail lines in Alaska,
and the system thus having been estab-
lished, parts of it, would be subject to
lease to private individuals upon ap-
proval of the president.
Withdrawal Of the functions provid-
ed for the measure would touch prac-
tically every executive department of
the government to a greater or less
extent. All personnel now employed in
connection with the duties affected by
the proposed change would be trans
ferred to the interior department..

visitors the German generals linden
burg. Ludendorf. Mackensen and Lin
singer and the former Austrian Field
Marshal Conrad, according to Inns
bruck dispatches. The papers also
state that a number Of former King
Carfs encourage and some of his rela
tives have been in the town. Demo
cratic organs Of Vienna are asking why
these notable royalist were permitted
to take up their residence in Austria.
Exorbitant rates. meanwhile, have
depleted most Austrian summer re-
sorts, says the Vienna papers. They
report that in the Tyrol. in Upper
Austria and Styria, hotels and boarding
houses are half empty, although the
season is now at its height. In addi-
ton to greatly increased rates, the
provincial and communal authorities
impose all kinds of head taxes.

mote enduring friendship among our

1T is not the purpose of this gov

of the discussion in relation to the
Pacific and far east. but rather to
leave this to the subject of sugges-

and a cordial appreciation of the i'm
portance of the elimination of sources
of controversy will govern the final
decision.
Accordingly. in pursuance of the

the light of the gracious indication Of
it's acceptance, the president invites

IRISH ANSWER
UNFAv0RAbLE To
BRITISH, CLAIM
Lloyd George and His
Delegation to Leave
Supreme Council.
De Valera's Reply Is
Sent by Airplanes
to Premier.

London, Aug. 11.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. THE whole British dele
CATION to the allied supreme council
will return to London Friday, accord
ing to a Paris dispatch to Reuters late
Thursday afternoon. The dispatch
said this action was due to develop
ments in the Irish situation.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Paris, received about the same
time, said the decision was due to a
deadlock in the deliberations of the
allied supreme council.
The reply Of Eamonn de Valera. the
Irish republican leader, to the British
government Irish peace proposals, was
handed to Austen Chamberlain, gov
ernment leader in the house Of com
mons, at noon Thursday.
The tenor of the reply was with
held. The official explanation was
that it would be subject first to con-
ferences by the cabinet and that it
was unlikely to be divulged for some
days.
Robert c. Barton. member of the
Dali Eireann, gave the reply to Mr..
Chamberlain in the absence of Pre-
mier Lloyd George.
Mr. Barton was accompanied by
Art O'Brien, president of .the Gaelic
league in London. Both of these men
had been de Valera's companions
during his recent talks in downing
street with Lloyd George.
Mr.. Chamberlain announced in the
house of commons this afternoon
the receipt of the reply which was for
warded Immediately to Lloyd George
in Paris.
A dispatch to Reuters from Paris
says Premier Lloyd George will re-
turn to London Friday owing to the
developments in the Irish situation 1t
is rumored in French sources, adds the
message, that Eamonn de Valera's
reply means a grave crisis.

San Jose Passengers
Will Be Landed in
San Diego by Farquhar

San Francisco. Aug. 11-Passen-
gers, mail and baggage from the Pa
c:fic Mail steamer San Jose, which
grounded August 8 on Ascuncion
island, lower California. will arrive in
San Diego, Calf, Thursday night
aboard the destroyer Farquhar, ac-
cording to wireless message re-
ceived here from the naval vessel.
An attempt to haul the San Jose
off the rocks at high tide Wednes-
day afternoon was unsuccessful, the
message said.
The steamer Griffdu, which has been
standing by the stranded ship, may
not be able to remain, as her supply
of fuel and provisions is low. The
commander of the Farquhar said that
another destroyer or steamer would
be sent to the San Jose.

that they are absolutely opposed to
the operation of the state law pro-
viding for the distribution of the
profits of industries among American
workmen and employers. They have
declared that rather than submit to it's
provisions, they will shut down all
Industrial plants. Farmers assert
that they, too. will strike and refuse
to plant crops if the law is enforced.
Several merchants appeared before
the federal court here and obtained
the issuance Wednesday of en- in
junction which has temporarily halted
the operation Of the law.
The law provides that the share of
the workmen in the profits of a con-
Germ where they are employed shall
mot be less than 10 per cent while, in
some instances, their share may be as
high as so per cent.
