An epidemic of influenza, in mild form so far but of sizeable proportions, was officially announc ed today by Dr. H. c. DeVighne, City Health Officer and Territor- ial Health Commissioner. Steps to curb it's spread were taken to- day.
 Dr. DeVighne has issued warn ing to parents to keep their child ren away from public places, and at the same time he has directed local theatres not to admit any children to their performances for the present.
 Today, Dr. DeVighne said, there were 40 pupils out of the Public Schools largely the result of at lacks of influenza. In addition there is known to be a consider able number of adult cases under treatment.
 The in f lu Il a is widespread over the Pacific Coast and has been for some time. It is gradual ly spreading to Alaska. So far It has been in a mild form but un- less it is checked it is certain to become more severe as it devel- ops" he said.
 People should be careful about over-eating about congregatirg in public places, keep warm and dry and use some kind of an anticeptic gargle in combating the disease. it was said.

 The remainder of the naval pe- troleum reserves were returned to the supervision of Secretary Will bur during the year. He ordered the wells closed down and close check kept to determine whether there was any drainage to nearby wells. Since the closing of the wells in most of the reserves, no definite evidence has developed that there is any appreciable leak age of either oil or gas from the reserve wells to the outstanding wells, the report said. Legislation to fix more definitely the status of the reserves was urged in the report, particularly for the protec- tion of reserve No. 1, which IS es- timated to contain 600.000,000 bar rels of oil, and which may be drained by owners of nearby land, when they decide to drill

 The report made no reference to the cruiser bill which passed the House at the last session and which is pending before the Sen ate.
 Of the several accidents during the year, the sinking of the Sub marine S-4 with the loss of forty lives off the Massachusetts coast following a collision with the Coast Guard Fdestroyer Paulding, was the worst.
 Secretary Wilbur recommended the passage of a bill to prevent stagnIation in promotion of offl- oers of the line. and another to provide for the Retirement of staff officers whb haVa beenYpassed over by fife selecuoM board for higher rank.

United States for violation of the Sherman Law. The government in it's suit, estimated the possible profits in the deal at S10.0OO. 900 Patten, after several years litiga- ton, pleaded guilty and was fined S4000. He and others had previ- ously been sued for restraining trade by cornering oats in 1902. Ten years later Patten cleared S2,000.000 in corn. The deal took a year to engineer and involved more than 12.000,0O0 bushels of grain.
 Never "Gambled"
 Patten, it was said, never gam bled" on the market. To obtain accurate information he maintained an elaborate and expensive crop reporting service which. together with his own wide knowledge of market conditions. furnished the data that made his deals in most cases successful. Besides being speculator he was for years an active Board of Trade dealer.
 Northwestern Uni iversity of which he was trustee for 15 years and to which he gave $1,- 100000 was one of the principal beneficiarles of his generosity. An other of his gifts was $125,000 to the Evanston hospital.
 Patten always took an active part in Republican politics. The only office he ever held, however, was Mayor of Evanston, H.. his home town, from 1901 to 1905.
