AUTHOR COMING TO ALASKA TO
 WRITE STORY

SEATTLE, May g. - Edison Mar shall, well known author and pub licist, who has written extensively on Alaska, was a passenger on the steam ship Northwestern which sailed for the north on Saturday. He will journey to the westward as far as Seward, and from there take passage for points along the Aleutian Archipelago. His purpose is to gather material for an- other series of articles dealing with the northern territory. He will give special attention to the conditions of the natives, the industrial situation, and the salmon business. MT. Mar shalles former articles have shown him to be an intelligent and careful observer whose collected opinions and studies are entitled to great weight. He announced that he had planned no definite itinerary beyond the Aleu- tian Islands, but if time permitted, he would extend his journey northward into the Boring Sea as far as Nome.

HOUSE H0NORS
 LONG SERVICE OF UNCLE JOE

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Tears yes terday came into the eyes of Uncle Joe Cannon, the veteran member of Con- gress from Illinois, whose years Of service in the national legislature far outnumber those of any other member in the history of the body, as the House suspended it's regular order of business to do honor to it's ex-speaker, whose term of faithful service expires next March Uncle Joe has declined to be a candidate for reelection. Many members who have served with the representative fram Danville told in simple but impressive language of the valued services which Joe Can non had rendered to his country, and expressed the profound regret of his colleagues on losing his advice and counsel at the end of the present ses- sion. The speeches were occasioned by the eighty-eighth birthday of the veteran legislator which happened on Sunday.

DENIES RUSSIA FUNDS LOANED
 DISSIPATED

WASHINGTON, May g. - In a for nal statement filed on Saturday with the State Department, Ambassador Boris Bahkmetieff, ambassador to the United States from the former Rus sian government, and still holding under color of office, although the Ker- ensky government is no more, cate- gorically denied charges made on the floor of the Senate that the money ad- vanced by the United States to Rus sia, amounting to about $187,0 100000, had been misappropriated by repre- sentatives of Russia. The ambassador said that all the money advanced to the Kerensky government had been properly expended and accounted for. He declared that 1t was all used for prosecuting the war against Germany On learning of the ambassadors s statement, Senator Borah of Idaho re- newed his charges and said that no body had been able to discover what the money had been spent for.

SPECIAL GRAND
 JURY PROBING
 BANK FAILURE

SEATTLE, May 9.7rFrom the ques- tions being propounded to the pros pective jurors on their voir dire in the empanelling of the special grand jury just convened for King County, the real purposes behind the demand for the jury are coming to light. It is morally certain that the jury will probe into the affairs of the defunct Scandinavian-Americ bank. All of the jurors are questioned as to their ownership of stock in the institution, whether or not they were depositors there, and other information concern ing their possible connection with the bank is sought It has been learned that the county attorneys office has employed expert accountants who spent whole month delving into the books of the bank, and the account of their report has not been turned over to the attorneys representing the ma iority stockholders. Other matters which will very likely come before the grand jury are the mysterious and hitherto unexplained death of Pa trolman Charles O. Legate, and the leasing of the King County public ferry system for private operators.

Hughes, a memorial urging the United States to become a member of the permanent Court of International Justice. A copy of the same memorial will also be pre- scented to the President.

FINE TRIBUTE PAID MEMORY
 OF DAWSON

LOCUST VALLEY, N. Y, May 3. Men and women internationally prominent in the worlds finance and in society, today bowed with the plain and simple villagers of this peaceful, little community, in unaf- fected grief over the bier of Henry P. Davison. A special train carrying mourners from New York to attend the funeral was run. and was crowd ed with the city friends and business associates of the deceased. The last services were held in St. Johns Chapel. So many people came to do homage to the dead that the little church was entirely inadekuate to hold the sorrowing throng. Hundreds were unable to gain admittance af- ter coming long distances, but they stood silently outside while the last rites of the Episcopal Church were conducted over the mortal remains of one of Americas foremost fi- nanciers and public-spirited citi-. Zens.

PROPERTY LOSS IS GREAT

NEW ORLEANS, May g. The flooding of the town of JonesvilIe
 Louisiana which has a population of about fifteen hundred souls, through a fresh break in the levee, has in- creased the number of homeless ref ugees by about the entire popula- tion of the town. The property dam- age in Jonesville will be exceeding ly large and the surrounding coun- try will suffer great damage to the crops. The total results of the flood to date cannot yet be estimated as far as the financial loss to property is concerned. That the figures are enormous goes without question, and the totals are mounting daily, with a continued apprehension among the people, that even more severe losses than those already suffered may yet be incurred. The supplying of food to the thirty thousand homeless people at widely scattered points through the length and breadth of the flooded district is daily becom- ing more serious problem. The re- lief agencies are working night and day with unabated energy, and their forces are being constantly swelled

In his speech yes terday the Senator instituted from the floor of the Senate what he described as a long range examina- tion through the State Department of the credentials of the Russian Ambassador.

SENATOR REFUSES TO
 DISCUSS ATTEMPT TO

He also submitted exhaustive reports o1 the governmental savings accom- plished through inter-departmenta transfers of surplus supplies and othe, econimy methods put into effect by the budget bureau, itemizing thous ands of transactions involving ships shoes, sealing wax and all the many articles and commodities utilized by the government together with the amount of saving realized in eacl case.
 The budget director further report ed that the savings reserve against current appropriations of $112,00O,00( set up by the departments and estab lishments in August, 1921, in response to executive request, had been in creased, notwithstanding reappropria tion by Congress of more than ST., 000,000 of this reserve for other pur poses, to the approximate sum of $136, 0O0,0OO. Only such part of these re auctions as are real savings and not postponed expenditures were included in the general estimate of savings he added.
 AS a still greater reduction, Direc tor Dawes declared that the present estimated expenditures for 1922 for the reduction of the routine business of the government, after eliminating expenditures of $7,50O,00O authorized by Congress after the submission of the budget providing for representa- tion of the United States at the Bra. gillian centennial exposition, seed loans, and fulfillment of the treaty with Colombia, as compared with the December budget estimates, showed an excess of only $25 5,767,457 on total of $1,75S,672, or a discrepancy of only about 1s per cent.

FLOOD WARNING ISSUED

FORT WORTH, May 9.-This city is again threatened with disaster from the rising waters of the Trin- ity River, comparable with the dan ger and damage which resulted from the April flood. Te river is again well out of it's banks and is inun- dating sections of the city for the second time within two weeks. A warning of the flood which has been issued to the residents of the low lands happily prevented loss of life, but the property damage is expected to approximate the total reached in the last disaster. The municipal water supplies have been cut and possible suffering may result. All steam and electric transportation in and out of the city has ceased. The gas and electric light plants are practically crippled and a large DOT tion of the city is in darkness.

the tangle is worthy of the tremen- dous mowers of the British Premier, to whose personality alone is due the fact that the conference has preserved in it's labors so long as it has. Most of the delegates today were unable to force a smile, but Lloyd George presented cheerful visage to the newspaper men and said Many difficulties worse than the one we are now facing have been passed We shall pass this one also." This was said after a frantic day in which he conferred with nearly all the leading dele gates.
