HIGHER UPS INVOLVED IN
PUZZLING ESPIONAGE SYSTEM
i
WASHINGTON'. D. C„ May 27.—
Many are now under a cloud owing
to the discovery of the fact that
practically all secret official inform
ation is known by the German spies.
The officials are confessedly wor
ried by the discovery of the fact
that the German government was
in possession of the information as
to the departure of the American
destroyer fleet under Sims four days
before they reached Europe and
lost no time mining the entrance
of the port for which their sealed

The uncanny thing about the'
whole matter is that the British in
telligence department discovered
that the German government knew
all about it before the British offici
als had been apprised from Wash
ington, and the destination was
learned through German sources in
time to sweep the miner clear for
the American destroyers.
That some of the higher ups

through other less satisfactory
means told about, it now seems cer

higher officials knew anything at all
about the American boats being de

MINER HAS NARROW
ESCAPE ON CENTER CK
On Xo. 1 Center creek where he
is sinking a shaft, Ben Gillette, one
of the best known of Center creek
miners, met with a bad mishap
which might have been much more
serious. A large sized rock loosened
itself from the sides of the shaft
near the top and struck him a
glancing blow on the back of the
liead, bruising through his hat and
inflicting an ugly scalp wound, lie
came into town to have his wound
attended to by Dr. Chace. Tiir
shaft is only about ten feet" deep
hut had the rock which was a good
size hit "him on the head fairly it
would easily have finished him.

WASHINGTON’, O. C., May 27.—
The flipping down of many of the

LONDON, May 27.—There is a
continuance of tiie lull already re

LOCAL ITEMS,
That the Bear had not sailed
from Seattle on May lid seems cer
tain l'or the Postmaster received a
dispatch from Postmaster Battle
of Seattle announcing that “the
Bear sailing indefinite”. This prar
tieally settles the mail question
and that no mail will arrive before
the regular fleet opens navigation
is quite certain. Why the Bear
should be delayed this summer with
its important scouting work in the
ice fields, making more secure the
navigation of Bering Sea for pas
senger ships, can only he explained
by the exigencies of the war situa
tion. The Boar has rendered in
valuable service to ships on the
opening of navigation and its fail
ure to come up this year as usual
supplies the first trip with an ele
ment of risk* that otherwise it
would never possess. The Chamber
of Commerce niigh. nnd the matter
worth looking into apart altogether
from the annoying delay to the
mail. That the post office will
Randle the mail satisfactorily can
of course be relied upon.

NOT KEAI'ING MAW VICTIMS,
LONDON. May 27.—The Admiral
ty reports a steady falling off in the
losses to submarines at sea. The
submarines are now trying an
other tactic. The lT boats under a
perfect espionage system are mining
the ports of entry in the United j
Kingdom. The mine planting .f.tip
ment of the divers has apparently
been greatly improved upon and
are carried out under water wit)
evident ease, constant vigilance
upon the part of mine sweepers
however has so far saved many
wrecks from tlii. source.

NEW YORK, May 25.—John D.
Rockefeller shoved over another
chunk of money into the Rocke
feller Foundation. The amount
this time turned over is $25,000,
000. As the Foundation being a
“charity”, although used for the
benefit of Rockefeller operations,
as in Colorado, and only a small
fraction is ever put to charitable
usts, and inasmuch as the Rocke
feller control is solid as cast iron,
many regard the Foundation a-'
nothing more than a tax evading
fund.
The Foundation is immune from
being assessed any taxes, income or
otherwise.
