 ATTACK AT ATLIN

E. c. Linscott, mining engineer rnd Past Exalted Ruler of the Lodge of Elks in his home city in California, was suddenly stricken with a heart attack at birthday party at the Columbia Development Mine near Atlin, B. O., last week Death resulted.
 MT. Linscott was apparently in good health at the time, but it was later learned that he had been subject to similar attacks No reason could be determined for his being stricken at the time.
 AS mining engineer for the con- pany backing the Tom Mitchell operations on Frances Lake, Y. T., MT. Linscott passed through Atlin several times last summer, and himself became interested in cer- tain Blue Canyon properties.
 Following the failure of the Frances Lake development and the cessation of operations there this year, MT. Iinscott had interested some capital in the Blue Canyon claims near Atlin, and was in charge of drilling operations there this summer.
 According to reports, the Blue Canyon ground was proving up well when MT Linscott was stricken, but it is not known whether the development there will be con- tinued.

Seals, Senators May Mix Coast
 League Set-up
Less than Nine Games Sep arate First and Fifth
 Place Clubs
(By Associated Press)

Eight Pacific Coast League teams are entering their nineteenth week of play with only eight and one half games separating the leading San Diego Padres from the fifth place Angels.
 The San Francisco Seals and Sac ramento today open series to set tie their second-place dispute and possibly land one of them in the drivers seat Two games separate the Seals and the Senators, while he latter are only two and one .alf games behind the Padres.
 If Portland trims San Diego, a .,otably poor road team, and the Solons lace the Seals the standings may be considerably juggled. Se- attle's Indians, sufficiently rejuv- ,nated to win three out of seven from the Padres, open against the Missions in the Puget Sound paik.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, January 21-A rather
weary stock market received late stim-
ulation today when the steels, in
cluding U. S. and Bethlehem. rallied
a point or more under a burst OF
buying in the final hour.
AutOmotive issues, with the eXcep-
tion of General Motors, also stiffened
and many other earlier Indifferent
leaders stepped out on the upside for
gains ranging from fractions to 2.
Transfers were around 100000
shares.
While the General Motors stHke
deadlock persisted, Wall StreG leaned
to the belief a peaceful settlement
would be negotiated through inter-
vention of Federal authorities.
At the same time traders were not
ayelse to caShing in some of their
profits which piled up yesterday.
There were number of lively fur
ries throughout the proceedings when
the ticker tape fell behind floor deal
ings. There we're also extremely quiet
intervals. The pace quickened near
the finish.

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-The mighty
steamship Leviathsn was headed for
the junk yards today to provide scrap
iron for British armament after the
United States Lines refused to sell her
10 Japanese interests.
Basil Harris. vice president, who
announced sale Of "Old Levi" to Metal
Industries. Ltd, of London. for more
than $800,000," said offers of Japanese
interests which have outbid British
and Italian firms in the world metal
markets were rejected.
I'VE did not consider it advisable at
this time to consider an offer from
Japan" he said
II don't think we could have OBJ
tained permission to let that ship 60
to Japan had we wanted to-" he
added.
The Leviathan, which carried 20O.-
900 doughboys to France will have one
last fling of the glory she knew briefly
before the World War.
The 23-year-old liner, once speed
queen Of the Atlantic, will sail to
England under her own power. A week
will be required, Harris estimated, to
commission her.
The 907-foot liner cost at least So
900, 900 when she was launched, the
imperial German liner Vaterland, at
Hamburg in 1914
Three times she shuttled back and
forth across the Atlantic. On her
fourth trip the war broke out, and in
New York Harbor she was interned
and later seized by the Government.
Her finery Was ripped out, and the
Vsterland-now the Leviathan-be-
came an American troopship.
For four years after the war the
giant sea queen was forgotten, then
100000 was spent in replacing her
once magnificent fittings.
But passengers summed her, and
other American ships, because in the
prohibition era her bars served lemon
ade and tea.
Money obtained from the sale will

owed the Federal Government. Al
ready liner to replace her has been
ordered, smaller but more modern
than the 4s,943-ton giant.
