WOMEN OF NATION CAN DO HALF THE
FIGHTING, SAYS SECRETARY LANE
WASHINGTON. April 13.—Secretary of the Interior
Lane, in a statement to the press of the country, calls on the,
women of the United States to do their share in the war on
Germany. The secretary declares that the women can do half
the lighting by urging the young men to enlist in the army or
navy and to do all in their power to conserve the food supply!
of the country.
THERE IS A FEELING IN LONDON
THAT WAR WILL END BEFORE 1918;
_
—
LONDON, April 13.—There is a feeling in some circles:
that the world war will he brought to an end by a decisive vic-j
ton- by the allied powers, aided by the United States, before j
the end of tin* current year. This is indicated by the fact that!
in underwriting circles business written yesterday contained j
this clause, “To pay total loss, if peace is not declared before
December 31. 1917,” at 45 guineas per cent.
CHINA MAIL COMPANY BUYS STEAMER
FROM PACIFIC COAST STEAMSHIP CO.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.—'The China .Mail company j
luis purchased the steamer Congress from the Pacific Coast j
Steamship company, the purchase price being $800,000. The j
Congress is now undergoing repairs in a Seattle ship yard, hav
ing been damaged in a fire that threatened her destruction re
cently. The price is considered high, as the Steamer was quite j
badly damaged by the fire.
IF WAGES ARE NOT^ EXORBIT ANT, PUGET
SOUND WILL BUILD FIVE HUNDRED SHIPS
WASHINGTON, April 13—The federal shipping board j
today announced that if labor figures were not exorbitant, 500 j
if the 2,000 wooden ships to be built by the government would |
be constructed on Puget Sound.
ALASKA CRUISE CALLED OFF.
SEATTLE, April 13—Due to the war with Germany, the
planned excursion to Alaska, under the auspices of the Seattle j
Chamber of Commerce, has been declared off.
(Skagway Alaskan.)
SKAGWAY, March 26.—At a late
hour Saturday afternoon word reached
here that Harry Graham, Thomas Da
vies and Nick Radovich, three of the
entombed miners in the Pueblo mine,
had been rescued alive by the men
who had worked incessantly to save
their lives.
When the men were released, they
walked out of their tomb just as
though they were leaving their work
at the end of their shift.
It seems that while they were bur
ied three hundred feet in the bowels
of the earth two of these men, Gra
ham and Radovich, worked furiously
for four long hours in the dark and
wet in a successful effort to release
Davies, who had been separated from
them by darting into another stone j
chamber when they heard the noise of j
the slide.
For a distance of over one hundred
feet the tunnel separating them from
their companion was filled with debris,
and timbers twelve inches square and
many feet long had to be removed
in the work which these two men ac
complished.
It is almost a certainty that the
three men at the two hundred foot
level were carried away at the time
that the cave-in occurred, and the
three other men are believed to be en
tombed in one of the stope chambers
in the level where the rescued men
were found.
Fifteen men were requisitioned from
Whitehorse today to aid in the work
of rescue, this being made necessary
by reason of the fact that those who
have been working have given out.
Hope is still entertained that the
other three men on the 300-foot level
will be rescued alive.
Stop at i’eterson’s Hctel.

(Seattle P.-I.)
W. L. Collier, president of the Nor
thern Bank Trust company, which
was closed in February by the state
bank examiner, was sentenced Thurs
day afternoon to one to ten years in
the state penitentiary when he plead
ed guilty to the charge of making
false entries in the bank’s books. Col
lier was arraigned before Presiding
Judge Everett Smith in the superior
court shortly after 4 o’clock in the
afternoon, after he had confessed to
Prosecuting Attorney Lundin the em
bezzlement of $30,000 of the bank’s
funds in a period covering the last
two years.
Commitment of Collier to the peni
tentiary was delayed 30 days by
Judge Smith in order that he may as
sist the bank examiners in going over
the books and straightening out the
accounts. In the meantime he will
be at liberty under a bond of $5,000.
In passing sentence the court spoke at j
length, expressing the sympathy of
the community with the defaulting of- ,
ficial in that he used the funds to buy
stock in the bank. The minimum sen- j
tence was imposed.
The specific charge against Collier ;
,vas that he had made false entries
:o show withdrawal of $10,350 on
September 14 from the Northern
Bank. One entry in the bank’s indi
vidual ledger No. 2 showed a debit
:ntry of $2,350 in the account of the
Matatorium company, and another of
58,000 in the account of the Westlake
narket. Lundin, in recounting Col
ier’s confession, said that Collier
tad taken money from the bank
with which to purchase stock and
die stock had been carried in the ac
counts as cash on hand. When the
state examination was at hand Collier
withdrew the stock and at the same
time made the entries of the fictitious
withdrawals in the accounts of the
two depositors.
For more than an hour before Col
lier was taken before the court he was
doseted with his attorney, Will H.
Morris, State Bank Examiner W. E.
Hanson and Deputy Examiner L. H.
Moore in the office of the prosecuting
attorney. After Judge Smith heard
the reading of the complaint, the
statement of the prosecutor and the
plea of Attorney Morris for leniency,
he asked Collier:
“Was this money that you took
used for any other purpose than the
purchase of stock for yourself? Had
you been gambling?”
“No, your honor,” replied Collier in
a low voice.
“I don’t know you very well Mr.
Collier," said the judge, “but I sym
pathize with you in your mistake. I
feel sure that you will be able to win
back the respect that you have here
tofore held in the community when
you have served your sentence in the
state prison. The demands of the
law must be met, but you are a young
man and I know that you will do all
in your power to make amends for
what you have done, and in saying
this I believe I speak for the com
munity.”
The charge of making false entries
was filed, rather than one of embez
zlement, Mr. Lundin said, at the re
quest of the state bank examiner, for
the effect conviction would have on
others. The maximum sentence for
falsifying is ten years and for em
bezzlement 15 years.
