STRONG DOPE FOUND IN
HOLD OF INTERNED LINER
- I
BREMERTON, Wash., May 21.
The naval authorities are somewhat
mystified by a remarkable find upon
one of the interned German steam
ers which is now being overhauled
here after its seizure by the United
States.
This is a full five gallon can of
pure nitro-glycerin.
It is believed that the nitro
glycerin, enough to shatter the
whole steamer and half of the town,

ROME, May 21.—The Italian

LOCAL, ITEMS.
Louis Iltadie issued a communique
to the press yesterday announcing
the fact that a couple of Greeks had
gone on the war path after ducks,
and although the brewery is sup
posed to be in neutral territory
and it is against international law
and the city’s ordinances
to slay the ducks they sent a shell
through the window into the syphon
room where Mr. Kern was engaged
in bottling goods for the inner
comfort of the citizens of Nome.
The bullet struck the machine a
glancing blow, and fortunately de
flected it from the peritoneum ot
the bottler. It is pointed out that
this hunting within the city limits
is against a city ordinance and
more any attempt to fire upon duck
now is against the letter and the
spirit of the game laws. The ducks
as well as other shore birds are
under the official protection of Game
Warden Neubaus who is now re
ported to be conducting an investi
gation of the incident.

navy yard as well as the steamer
and warships would be wrecked.
It happened that the assistant to
the machinist who found the can
was a former miner who detected
the smell of the nitroglycerin when
he entered the hold and exclaimed
about it at the time, saying that
there was dynamite somewhere.
The machinist reported this at once
and a search discovered the explo

SAN DIEGO, Cal., May 21.—An
Steamer reported that it had niet
an unidentified submarine outside
the port. Another steamer reports
seeing in approximately the same
latitude and longitude a whale, so J
it is supposed that the "unidentified j
submarine”, was simply a cetacean j
which the excited imagination ot j
those on board the first boat con- |
verted into a diver.

The discovery has occasioned

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
ITS REGULAR MEETING
When Mayor Lomen called the
council meeting »o order last night
all were present except M’Allister
who arrived later in the meeting.
The minutes of the preceding meet
ing were read and approved. A
communication from the School
Board asked that $1300 be appro
priated to defray the school expen
ses for May. Later in the meeting
this was acceded to. A communica
tion from Judge Tucker notified
the Mayor that he would withold
the monies collected from saloons
to be refunded in the event of pro
hibition being passed as a wartime
measure. Judge Tucker ruled that
if no such Jaw was passed before
June 30 he would notify saloon
mep that they could take out licen
ses for three or six months from
May 5 at their option, but would
not be entitled to any refund if pro
hibition was passed thereafetr.
The usual committee reports
were heard. Councilman M’Allister
asked for more time In reference
to the coal pile. Chas Read offered
to buy the unused muffler of the
city’s gas engine. It was left in the
hands of the chairman of the fire
committee. The Wild Gooso heating
plant offered to furnish heat at halt
price during the summer months. It
was decided that coal would he
more economical. The clerk's ac
tion in publishing the delinquent
tax list at a date later than directed
was approved by resolution. The
treasurer wTas directed to issue a
call for warrants payable in numer
ical order as moneys were available.
The cost of street washing with the
city pumps was stated to be $60 or
$70 and it was deemed inadvisable
to go to this expense cleaning up
Second Avenue. The city attorney
pointed out that deferred warrants
were not legal tender for taxes un
less the tax collecting body so ord
ered. It was ordered that warrants
whose numbers had been called for
payment be accepted in payment
of taxes. The council then ad
journed.
