KING GEORGE HAS RELAPSE

AT THE GRAND TONIGHT
The Sea Wolf, Jack London’s
great story of Wolf Larson, featur
ing Hobart Buswcrth.
Instead of trying to briefly re
view this thrilling story of Bering
Sea, which every one has read, we
will reprint a little article which
was clipped from, the papers several
years ago.
The battered and decrept old hulk
of the tiny two-mast schooner, Mary
Taylor, has been found piled up on
the beach in front of the little
Swedish fishing village of Lund
southeast of Seymour Narrows, in
British Columbia. It was this little
craft of notorious pirate and smug
gling fame, that the mighty Wolf
Larson sailed, and on which Jack
London conceived his stirring tale,
“The Sea Wolf.”
With impressive ceremony the oc
casional visitor to Lund is led down
the beach and directed to where the
name Mary Taylor, can still be dis
tirem-hed on the wreckage.
Years and years ago. when pirat
ing and smuggling were two of the
most popular and renureerative of
the skilled professions, the Mary
Taylor was in her heyday. She
carried the wildest crew afloat, and
the great “Wolf ” Larson, central
figure in “The Sea Wolf,’ was her
skipper. After years of service the

SERBIA NOT DESERTED
Admits Troops Are Being Withdrawn
From Dardanelles
LONDON. Nov. 3—Premier As
quith yesterday delivered a lengthy ■
speech in the House of Commons in
which he said he had no apology to '
offer for the withdrawal of troops
from the Dardanelles. That the fail- !
are to reach the goal aimed at, did
not mean that they had abandoned
I heir position. What was gained j
would be held. The withdrawal j
of troops was made necessary by the ’
fact that Serbia was being hardly j
pressed, and that since the re-en- .
forcement to break through the ;
Dardanelles was unavailing at this j
e •'s-is*ance of Serbia was the !
wisest move, in his opinion. Serbia
he said, had not been abandoned as j
=©me of his critics would want the j
nation to believe .

WETS GAIN IN
ILLINOIS STATE!
Nearly Every Town Where
Question t'ame up
CHICAGO, Nov. 3—While the re
turns have been slow coming in, the
wets are confident of victory. As
a matter of fact, many are inclined
to believe that a large gain was ;
made in every town where the ques
tion was voted upon.
Many towns made the question of
wet or dry an issue throughout the
campaign, but from al! the indica- ’
tions, although incomplete, it is evi
dent that the dry’s have lost. 1
Mary Taylor was retired from the
smuggling profession, and became
| a fisherman. Wolf Larson remain
ed her skipper, and invited Jack
London for a trip along the Alas- '
kan coast. The trip that resuited in j
; The Sea Wolf. Long after Wolf Lar
I son died, the Mary Taylor finally ,
sank of old age, but her grave was
carefully chosen and she will long
continue in her present state to the
glory of the village of Lund.
Thomas Stimson, of Seattle, who :
with Mrs. Stinr.son, was a guest on !
the Canadian yacht Cathleen ITT., on
a trip to Alaska, by the inside pas
sage found the picturesque little vii
i ’age nestled in a little cove on the
j Canadian shore and the Cahtleen
party went in to explore. They
j were hospitably entertained by the
| Swedish fisherfolk and shown the
\ wreck of the Mary Taylor. Adv.

VICE CONSUL
MAKES REPORT
Says Time and Fuel Make
Up Difference
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3—Irving
Linneli, American vice-Consul at
Prince Rupert, who is here on a
business trip in connection with the
fish industry, said today that he
knew many American fish boats
brought their catches to the Canad
ian port and sold for less money then
they would have received at Seattle,
but that the difference was more
than made up in the saving of time
and fuel.
Mr. Linneli said further that the
Canadians were extremely anxious
to secure the trade, to that end all
'icilities possible are given the
fishermen in the Ian ling and disposi
tion of their catches, which was no
more than what should be expected.
It is thought here that he was
called for a conference with the
fish commissioner, who is greatly
interested in the regulation of the
industry.

LINDENBERGER
ANSWER SUII
Gives Reason Why No
Meetings Were Held
ON ACCOUNT OF WAR
Restraining Order He Says Is
Injurious to Company
SEATTLE, Nov. 3—In his answer
to the suit filed yesterday against
he Lindenberger Packing and Can
ning Company, in which a restrain
ing order was issued to prevent the
mannager from disposing of any of
the property, Bernard Lindenberger,
says that the reason which prevent
ed the stockholders from holding
meetings was on account of the war.
As it made it unsafe for German
s‘ockho!d?rs residing in England.
The consolidation of the three can
neries was for the purpose of safe
larding the interest of all, as it
was intended to be organized undei
the laws of England. 2
In speaking of the hestraining
order, Mr. Lindenberger said that
it was unfortunate from the fact
that it prevented the disposition of
considerable assets at a time when
good prices were obtainable. The
hearing has been set for this cominf
Friday.
