NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Vessels
arriving in port here this morning
bring the report of having heard a
wireless call for assistance yesterday
from a vessel stated to Ik* then about
sixty-live miles east of the Nantucket

The message stated that the shij>
was being shelled by a German sub

the assistance of the ship, fearing!
they would meet disaster at the hands;
of the submarine, and her fate is un
known. Shipping authorities have not
vet succeeded in placing the vessel in
distress, and she did not give her
name. This is the tirst time the Ger
man U-boats have been sighted off
the Atlantic coast of the United States
for several months and comes as a
complete surprise to shipping men.

HONOLULU HAS
UNIQUE POLITI
CAL SITUATION
HONOLULU, (By Mail), Aug.
30.—Honolulu is facing a political sit
uation in its annals. With a Demo
cratic mayor and a Republican board
of supervisors, both at loggerheads
over appointments, the taxpayers are
wondering who is who.
For two months the mayor’s list of
appointments to municipal berths,
numbering over 100, have been iaying
on the table as a result of action of
the supervisors, while the mayor’s
clamors for recognition of his prerog
atives are given scant attention. The
outcome of it all is that the Repub
lican holdovers from the past admin
istration are still in office and jubi
lant while the Democratic office seek
ers are still out in the cold and cry
ing for their rights.
All eflorts at compromise having
failed the Democrats have sought re
lief in the courts and what is regard
ed as the forerunner of other suits to
oust the holdovers was filed today by
Democrat leaders applying for an in
junction to hold up the salary of the
superintendent of parks and play
grounds and praying the court to set
aside an ordinance enacted by the Re
publican board taking away from the
mayor the power of appointments.
Other suits contemplated aim to hold
up the salary of the fire chief, water
works’ superintendent, building in
spector and manager of the lighting
department.

of the Pueblo Mine, recently suffered
a very painful accident while help
ing to hoist an engine into place. His
finger became caught in the machin

stripped off.

The White Pass, a short time ago
put up a 75-foot flag pole at their de
pot. The pole has a weather vane and
ball on it. Several exhibition trips
were made with the pole before put
ting it into place.
The Whitehorse branch of the Ca
nadian Bank of Whitehorse recently
shipped out 210 ounces of gold dust,
the greater part of which came from
the Livingstone Crook in the Big Sal
mon country. The consignment was
valued at between $250,000 and $400,
000.
One of the two women tourists who
had been stopping at Whitehorse re
cently found that she had lost her
pocketbook just as she was getting
on the train to leave. The amount
was not large enough, however, to
; cause her to postpone her departure.
The body of Bert McKenzie, fore
| man on engine 68, recently wrecked,
! was found the next morning by a crew
I of White Pass employes. It was
brought to Skagway and placed be
| side that of his father. The train
was hit by a slide and only the break
| ing of the couplings saved the coaches.
The accident occurred in a small ra
vine along the White Pass railway.
, One of the falling rocks was as large
as a box car.

Robert Logan, of Fairbanks, recent
ly found a peculiar specimen of a i
mouse, which had all the characters i
tics 4>f a kangaroo. It w$is about the
size of an ordinary mouse, but it
hind legs were more than three times
the length of its fore legs, which were
small like those of a kangaroo. It
had a long and muscular body. The j
animal was later identified as belong-1
ing to the kangaroo species, very com
mon to some parts of the world.
Robert M. Crawford, of Fairbanks,
recently left Alaska to attend the Con
servatory of Music at Boston. He is
possessed* of considerable musical
ability, being both a player ami a
composer. His latest song to be print
ed is entitled, “My Northland,” the
music of which is catchy, while the
words are very appropriate..
The Valdez Packing Company has
shipped 35,000 cases of salmon this
year. We believe this is the record
I
in Alaska for a one line plant. The •
cannery will be increased in capacity |
by the addition of another linei>f ma- j
chinery next year.

liam Daines, formerly of aFirbanks,.
had died at Morningside sanitarium

due to Bright's disease. So far as
known, the man had no living rela
tives.
Bob Sheldon, the stage driver, who j
runs a line of eight autos from the
coast to Fairbanks, recently lost one 1
of his machines under peculiar condi
! tions. The recent heavy rains had,
| caused the rivers to overflow, and Mr. j
Sheldon ran his car into one of the
streams and got stuck. Bob went to a
roadhouse for help and by the timej
he returned the machine had buried
itself out of sight in the swift torrent.
He has found no trace of the car since.
