 Out New Facts.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-Wit- nesses testifying before the Cover nor's Investigating committee de- clared the loss of 47 lives in the Argonaut mine disaster could have been prevented by reversing the fan head of the Muldoon shaft immedi- ately after the discovery of the fire

 tThe American Legion is dying. Mob rule governs the national con- ventions.
 The New Orleans streets were un- der mob rule during the convention there- Shop windows were broken, furniture and bedding were thrown from the hotel windows into the streets and drunkenness was preva- lent. Whiskey seemed easy to pro- cure.

N. DIS WON'T TELL
 PATIENTS' SECRETS
Courts of Law Shouldn't Demand They Break Con- fidences, Think Doctors.
By CHARLES A. SMITH. International News Service Staff
 COrFeSDOnSeut

London, Nov. 14-Determination to keep the secrets of patients invio1ate in courts of law was voiced by 200 delegates at the preliminary meeting of the British Medical Association at Glasgow.
 Since this question was first put to issue in the courts there has been nationwide discussion on the topic, most of the judges being of the opinion that doctor should reveal everything about his patient, while the doctors contend that what a patient tells a doctor regarding his life and condi- tion should be as a sealed book and that they are in honor bound not to reveal one iota of a patients history.
 The discussion waXed fast and furious at the meeting of the associa- tion, various dctors giving evidence of so-called persecution by Judges attempting to make them speak. Many of the delegates viced the opinion that doctors must be prepared to go to prison rather than diyu1ge their patti ents' secrets.
 The association adopted a motion promising support to any members who, after due consideration, were deemed Justified in refusing to dis close information obtained in the exercise of their professional duties. It was also resolved to press for special consideration for medical wit nesses in courts of law.

 Loondon, Nov. 14-tI used to feel in an awful funk at times. It is ab- surd to say you do not. I have yet to meet the fellow who will lie in his berth at the bottom of the sea and be depth charged and not suffer from cold feet!"
 This is the frank confession of one of the most courageous men who took part in the ewar-Commander Norman D. Holbrook, V. C., who gained his Victoria Cross for his intrepidity as a submarine commander.
 'I felt the strain, but did not realize it at the time,'' he told the committee which has been inquiring into shell shock" When you get back to har- Dor you must have rest. You feel like a washed-out rag. With all those mines around you you do not want a depth charge too close to send you to glory.

Uncle Sam Finds
 Alaskan Railroad
 Business Excellent

Anch horage, Alaska, Nov. 14-Cncle Sam is finding the railr oad business good on his new Alaska line which runs from tidewater at Seward and Anchorage across the mountains to Fairbanks and Nenawa, on the terri tory's interior river system.
 Traffic has been so heavy on the line that it has been necessary to add more Pullman sleeping coaches and baggage cars, At present the road is operating thirty passenger coaches, 716 freight cars and 236 cars of mis- celIaneous nature, making a total of TSP cars
 In addition to the railroad, the gov ernment, also is operating two river transports to connect the Iower-river points with the road. These boats will connect with mosquito fleets op- erating on the smaller rivers of the in- terior and will serve to hook up the entire section in one great transporta- ton system.
 Coal is one of the big items on the freight bills on this transportation system. The coal is taken from the mines along the railroad and sent to all parts of the interior by rail and boat.
 With a good supply of coal at req sonable prices it will be possible to mine large areas of frozen ground which, it is believed. contain gold bearing gravels. Geological survey officials estimate there is $500, 100000 in gold in these gravels. Nome, one of the distant points of Alaska, will benefit by getting coal at lower prices. At present coal is down the river and across an arm of the Boring Sea to Nome it is thought coal can be sold there for half the price,
