RIO DE JANEIRO, Monday, Feb. 5. — Brazil has
drawn up a vigorous note of protest which it will dispatch

the United States.
AMERICANS ARE RELEASED
BERLIN, Monday, Feb. 5.—Germany has acceded to

SUB CREW NEEDED SOAP
LONDON, Monday, Feb. 5. — One hour’s time was
given the crew of the American steamer Housatonic to
leave the ship when she was destroyed by a German sub

have orders to sink every vessel coming from or going to
England.”
Ihe Germans searched the Housatonic after finding
that her cargo was wheat, which is contraband of war,
and took a quantity of soap, which they said was difficult
to obtain at home.
ARRESTED AS
KIDNAPPER OF
OWN DAUGHTER
Former Seward Man Held,
Took Child From
Divorced Wife
I
Jack Smith, formerly of Seward, is
under arrest at Anchorage on the
charge of kidnapping, as the result of
taking his own child, which has been
awarded to the custody of the mother
following a divorce suit.
Smith’s wife secured a divorce last
year while in Montana and later mar
ried Jas. Z. French. Mr. and Mrs.
French are living at Mile 98 on Turn
again arm, near Potter creek where
he is employed as timekeeper on the
U. S. railroad.
The kidnapping was not unexpect
ed as it was known that Smith was
at work at Camp GG as bam boss, and
he had repeatedly said that he was
not satisfied with the divorce and
would take his daughter who is now
four years old, at the first opportun
: ity.
Recently Smith went to the French
home at Camp 98 and on some pre
text or other got Mrs. French to
leave the home ami he took the child
during her absence. Smith brought
the child to Anchorage and took her
to the home of Mrs. Matt Button as
Mrs. Button was a friend of the fam
ily. Mrs. Button had previously kept
the child for several months and did
not anticipate there was any trouble
connected with the affair.
The child was turned over to Mrs.
French following the arrest.
Smith and his wife lived here last
year prior to the time that Mrs. Smith
went to the states and secured the di
vorce. Matt Button and his wife liv
ed here at the same time and took
care of the little girl for a time. They
left for Anchorage accompanied by
Mrs. Smith last spring.
