majesty’s submarine boat, A 7, is at

Several hig warships are standing

which will prevent divers from se- j
curing chains to the ship, but it is j
hoped to drop chains about the ves i
sel and hoist her to the surface, j
where the men can be rescued.
The submarine wrecker is also en
route here at top speed and will en- |
deavor to aid ;be naval officers now j
in charge of *he work of savins the !

It is expected that they can remain !
at the bottom for at least 36 hours j
and that failing to receive aid from
above the men will leave tin sub

shot from the torpeto tube and raise
to the su. face, where they w II b»;
picked up by the waiting seam.m
who are now standing by for such

STILL DEBATE
ALASKA BILL
Senator Works Prevents Vote by
Next Tuesday—Vote in Senate
Expected Soon However. .
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17—Senator
Works, of California, yesterday de
feated the effort of the friends of the
Alaska railroad bill to bring the
measure to a vote on next Tuesday.
The senator, however, agreed that
the request for unanimous consent to
have the vote on Tuesday may be
renewed today after the report of the
territories committee has been made.
The territories committee will meet
today and consider the many amend
menls which have been offered to
the bill. One empowers the presi
dent to establish a complete river
and rail system in Alaska, including
(lie inland navigable rivers and the
boats needed to handle the traffic to
and from the states.
The Pittman amendment provides
for tile government ownership of ev
ery alternate strip of coal land and
the leasing to private individuals of
the balance.
A third amendment provides for a
board of control to operate the steam
ships and to mine the coal and to
have full and complete control of the
road after it shall have been com
pleted.
The army engineer corps, which
has been at work on the canal at
Panama, are to be transferred to
Alaska to build the road if still an
other amendment is passed and the
equipment now in use at the canal
zone, but soon to be abandoned, will
also be brought to the northland if
the amendment carries.
Senator Poindexter, of Washington,
stated today that if his amendments
were not approved by the committee
that he would support the Chamber
lain bill.
It is hardly expected that all the
amendments will be approved by the
committee, but in modified form
many of them will be added to the
Chamberlain hill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1?.—Presi
dent Wilson has given his approval
to the amendment to be introduced in
the House today changing the admin
istration anti-trust bill so that it will
prohibit restrain of trade of any kind
and will eliminate the word "unrea
sonable,” which was read into the law
by the decision of the supreme court

the decision of the Minnesota ’su

agreed upon would save them from
bankruptcy.
The new administration bill will
prevent agreemnts of any kind be
tween merchants or manufacturers in
the same line of business which will
tend to restrain trade.

Sew Up Slit in Skirts.
PARIS. Jan. 17—The ladies of this
town, who luive ben wearing the split
skirt, have been forced to invent a
new muff in which to incase their
dainty limbs, for the reason that the
iiglit, mosquito stockings in vogue and
the slit skirts do not keep their legs
warm enough in the l it ng cold
weather now being experienced here,
and in consequence they were hard
put to it to keep warm and still wear
the skirts demanded by dame fash
ion.
The new muff is easily clasped
about the leg of the fair damsels from
knee to ankle. At first the muff
caused a thrill among the sightseers
but later they became accustomed to
the change and now the naughty
men hardly notice the new muffs.
