MAKES DEMA
THAT SEA LAWS BE OBEYED
' WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17.—
3t is admitted that the United States
like every other neutral power has
received demands from Germany
couched in diplomatic language, in
sisting that all neutral vessels obey
the law of the sea in stopping for
search when ordered to do so by
Teuton submarines.
The German government presents
the case that precedent justifies the
sinking of any neutral in attempting
to evade examination ot papers or
cargo when belligerent ships of war
call upon them to heave to.
The matter is now receiving the
attention of Secretary Lansing. Ger
many in the note accompanying the>
demand points out that there have
been many neutral vessels which
sought to escape search by disobey
ing the order to heave to.
WASHINGTON, U. C„ May 17.
Austria directs attention of the Am
erican government to the fact that
the Allied submaiines sank recently
in the Adriatic Austrian liners with
out giving non-combatants on board
an opportunity to escape.
This refers to the recent sink in.;
of the Dubrovnik which was torped
oed and sunk with the loss of many
lives three days ago in the Adriath j
The United States government is
expected to take this matter up also
with the Allied powers.
The Austrian note requests that
this be done immediately.
PENROSE GROUP CONTROLS
REPUBLICAN DELEGATION
PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—The
Tesult of the primaries In this state
show that Senator Penrose controls
absolutely the delegation to the re
publican convention in Chicago, Juno
7. The primary election returns were
not so remarkable for the victory ot
Penrose as far the complete collapse
of the Wilson support, the demo
crats being hopclesly outnumbered
in the voting. Wilson will be the
Pennsylvania favorite for the demo
crats as elsewhere, but Penrose
easily surpasses him in political
strength as between the two parties.
PHILADELPHIA, May 17.— The
papers here are asking if Penrose is
taking himself serious in his ambi
tions for the Presidency. It is hcln
in maty progressive quarters that
all that could defeat the republicans
at the fall elections would be the
nomination of a Root, a Penrose or
GIANT BLAZE SPOKANE
OVERCOMES MANY FIREMEN
SPOKANE, May 17.—An eight
story building in which was located
a drug store was destroyed by fla ncs
today in one ot the worst firo fight
ing experiences which the Spokane
firemen ever hal to contend with.
Over the drug store were apart
ment rooms which could hot be
reached owing to poisonous fume*
that arose from exploding chemicals
la the basement.' The chemicals
poured a dense fog of acrid gas
which obscured frequently the
hallding.
I ^ ...Ml
I Fifty firemen at one time were
I knocked out by the fumes and Chief
Weeks himself was for a consider
able time asphyi&ted, his place being
filled afterwards at the fire by his
assistant.
Notwithstanding the dangerous na
ture of the Are and the ‘number of
men overcome by poisonous fumes,
heroic rescues of five women inmates
of the building'were made from the
seventh story, ropes and ladders be
ing used by the daring firemen
The fire obtalnod such » hold that
there was no possibility of its being
prevented destroying the great build
ing, but after great efforts, the fire
men succeeded in preventing the
conflagration spreading.
Ten out of the fifty 'firemen are
nndergoing hospital treatment for
the injuries received when overcome
by gas.

LONDON, May 17.—Commenting
upon the German notice to neutral
powers that neutral steamers must
not attempt to escape search when ’
ordered to halt by U boats, papers
today contend that Germany is be
ginning to regret having so early
conceded to the United States its de
mands as to the conduct of diver
warfare and that this notice is pre
liminary to a resumption of such
operations. They claim here that the
German situation Is serious; food
shortage, discontent in the arm; and
general disatisfaction with official
dom are the leading causes of the
national crisis.
The various statements of a reasur
ing nature issued from time to time
«re merely efforts to maintain the
drooping spirits of a nation known I
that defeat is inevitable.
BERLIN, May 17.—The British
inspired interpretation of the latest
German note as to noutrals heeding
I warning to atop when so ordored by
submarine boats Is surprising to the
German press. The domands are so
reasonable that they should be sub
jected to any misconstruction ta
considered not a little astounding.
The wild reports as to Gorman
conditions are part of this goneral
policy, says The Day.

country, the Guatemala government
now says that Carranza la roally the
Instigator of the Guatemala revolu
tion which Is reported to be grow
ing. •
The rebels are In sympathy with
the constitutionalists, and Diaz had
been openly befriended by the gov
ernment of Guatemala.

suit of the primaries here in the re
publican party Hughes beats Roose

DYNAMITE BLAST CAUSES
BUILDING TO SUBSIDE
AKRON, Ohio, May 16.—Work
| men excavating for the foundations
j of an extension for a rubber factory
j here in a heavy blast of dynamite
and black powder to loosen up the
heavy rock work involved in the ex
cavation.
The force of the explosion caused
I the ground near by to be seriously
affected and the Beacon Journal
Building, occupied by the Crystal
Restaurant collapsed with the result
that ten were killed outright when
the building subsided and two score
others many of whom will die were ,
injured in the accident.
The subsidence of the building
was without any question caused by
the dynamite blast.

BILL DEBATE TODAY
! WASHINGTON, D. C., May 18.—
The House is clearing the docks for
action. The action being a consider*
; ation of the Alexander shipping bill.
1 It is believed that an effort will be
(made to pass this bill by amending
; it to contain certain clauses which
I would practically be the same as a
repeal of certain objections in the
Seamen’s Bill.
The fight against the Immigration
Bill is (lying out mainly because
that bill seems destined to die in
committee. The committee feels that
there Is no rush about the matter.

The river is now open.
(The above was received in an
swer to a wire sent to the Iditarod
Pioneer as to latest reports from the
Tolstoi strike. The reply as seen Is
very conservative and not tending
to excite a stampede. The Indus

vate communications have been re
ceived in Nome by Interested persons
which communications were couched
in practically the same terms, and
while very hopeful would not either
knock or boost the possibilities of
the discovery.
