CONGRESS FAILS TO ADOPT
BOK PEACE PROPOSALS AND
AUTHOR LOSES JUST $50,000
NEW YORK, Mar. 16.—Failure of;
the United States senate to adopt
the Bok world peace plan during the
68th congress which ended recently,
catf&ed Dr. Charles Herbert Lever
more, author of the plan, to lose
his chance—technically at least—to
gain the second award of $50,000
offered by Edward Bok.
The first award of $50,000 was
given Dr. Levermore upon accept
ance of his plan by a special jury
headed by Elihu Root. Under the
terms of the award it was necessary
for the United States senate to have
adopted the winning plan by March
4, 1925, before its author could re
ceive the second half of the $100,
000 award.
The peace plan was not introduc
ed during the recent congress.

Nicholson To Rebuild
Old Ft. Yukon Mission
N. J. Nicholson, contractor ^ and
builder, of Seattle, who went north
August 1, this season, with a crew
of men, to move the Hudson Stuck
Memorial hospital at Fort Yukon,
came south on the steamer Alaska.
The Memorial hospital is a log
structure 40x120 feet, two stories
and with two wings. The building
was moved back from the river,
where it W'as in danger of floods,
for 2.000 feet. It was a difficult
undertaking, however. From Fort
Yukon, Mr. Nicholson went to Ste
vens river, where he installed a
light plant. From Stevens river, he
floated dowrn the Yukon on a raft
as far as Rampart.
After Nicholson departed from
Fort Yukon, the old settlement had
a disastrous fire. The Yukon Mis
sion, valued at $25,000, was the most
serious loss. The hospital was saved.
The fire started at 8 o’clock one
evening, while a birthday party was
in progress. A small boy, who had
been put to bed, noticed the fire
and gave the alarm but so quickly
did the flames spread that nothing
was saved from the Mission building
One woman, who had put $100 in
bills in a bureau drawer, lost it
through lack of time for its recov
ery. Mr. Nicholson says the most
serious loss in connection with the
Mission fire was the burning of the
Hudson Stuck library, containing
valuable data on Alaska history and
literature and a very fine and com
plete set of Alaska pictures.
Mr. Nicholson has been asked
to rebuild the Yukon Mission and
may again leave for Alaska in a
few weeks.
He says Fort Yukon is the best
town for its size on the Yukon
It is essential a fur center. More
fur is shipped from that point than
any place in Alaska. There are
about sixty white people there now,
most of them in the fur business,
and about 350 natives.
Mr. Nicholson, in the early days
of Nome, was a member of the firm
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one/’
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.

DAMAGES TOO SMALL
SUPREME COURT SAYS
OLYMPIA, Wn, Mar. 16.—Although
John York who died some time after
being struck by a truck owned by
the Overland Transfer company of
Seattle, signed a receipt which read
that it was in full for all damages,”
after the transfer company had paid
his hospital bill and given him $5,
his administrator was not barred
from securing further damages, the
sup.erne court held today, thus sus
taining the King county superior
court.
A judgment of $1,035.25 was
awarded by a jury in the trial court
from which L. G. Morris, doing
business as the Overland Transfer
company, appealed. The compen
sation paid by the company was
so inadequate ‘‘as to shock the con
science,” the .supreme court held.

WOMAN FINISHES TERM
IN CONGRESS WITHOUT
HAVING MADE A SPEECH
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 16.—
Woman’s proverbial talkativeness re
ceived a setback the other day, when
Mrs. Mae E. Nolan of San Francisco,
the only woman in the Sixty-eighth
Congress, terminated her service of
more than two years without having
made a speech on the floor.
She completed the unexpired term
of her late husband and was elect
ed in her own right.
In the next Congress Mrs. Florence
Kahn, widow' of the late representa
tive from California, and Mrs. Mary
T. Norton, of New' Jersey, first wo
man democrat to be elected to the
House, will be the only women mem
bers.
