SHIPWRECKED HAVE * PN INALASKA 270 Tourists Enjoy Enforced Stay at. Wrangell as Towns- folk Entertain Guests. By the Associated Press. WRANGELL, Alaska, September 1. «<The aftermath of a shipwreck was turned {nto a picnic today as 270 tour ists from the coastwise Canadian steamer Princess Charlotte, rescued when the vessel struck a reef near here Tuesday night, plunged into a program of social events here while | awaiting the arrival of a relief ship to take them to Vancouver. "The beleaguered excursionists, who included many wealthy residents of the United States and Canada, were landed in Wrangell late yesterday, and immediately were afforded the hospitality for which the Alaskans have become famed. The first thought of the Wrangell townsfolk was a pub- lic dance and reception for the refu- gees, and today the unexpected visit- ors were invited to visit places of in- tepest near the city. Enter Into Spirit. Aboard private tugs and Govern- mient vessels which sped through the nfght in answer to SO8 calls from the crippled P¥incess Charlotte, the tourlsts fnvaded Wrangell apparently uncon- oerned over the prospect of spending two days or more as giests of the Alaskans. Entering into the spirit of their enforced holiday, the excursion- ists. soon numbered among their friends the “sourdoughs” in whose homes they found shelter. The Princess Charlotte, operated by the Canadian Paclfic Raflway, was re- turning to Vancouver, British Colum- bia, from Skagway, Alaska, when she piled up on little known Vichnefski reef. On Windswept Beach. With a gaping hole in her outer plates, the vessel was held fast on the rocks until high tide, when she was refloated and unloaded her passengers, for safety sake, on an isolated and windswept beach. After spending the night on the island shore, the passen- gers were taken by cannery tugs and the Government cutter explorer to ‘Wrangell. Indications today were that the refugees would be taken aboard the ateamship Princess Louise late tomor- row for Vancouver. The -crippled Charlotte probably will be towed to Prince Rupert, British Columbia, for repairs. ————— ARTIST ASKS DIVORCE. PERRY, Okla., September 1 (#).— Emil W.

E SECOND FLOOR OF THE P-B STORE Fiilalf‘ Clea The Sleeper Wnkes-]: Whep clocks are striking nine I say, “Here ends another pleasant day, and now I'll go and hit the hay, for I am tired and bored;” for sleep through long and quiet nights is good for an- clent, weary wights who do not care to see the sights the teeming streets afford. And in the morning. when I rise the daily paper greets my eves with tales of blood and butcherd guys, and crime of every brand; of peace- ful voters roundly slugged, of ambush- 3d men by bullets plugged, and of some sinful varlets jugged by cops who were on hand. The deeds of violence are wrought at night, when criminals dis- traught are prone to rob and shoot and swat with little fear of law: they hide by day and in the dark they ven- ture forth to street and park, indulg- ing in a fiendish lark, in orgies coarse and-raw. It's true, as I have often said, that one is better off in bed than he would be it he should tread along the great white way; there's danger in the garish street where all the viclous currents meet: far better is my calm retreat—there’s safety in the hay. The bed's the place; the dreaming skate is not borne homeward on a gate with poultices upon his pate to hide a bul- let hole: he is not backed against a tree and robbed of smackers forty- three, or given stoups of knockout tea. and stripped of all his roll. The victims of the midnight knaves would dodge a Tot of early graves, the peace a mortal crav would roam by day, if they'd adopt a plan like mine, and when the clocks are striking nine put on their nighties and recline upon the luscious hay.

By the Associated Presy. BASLE, Switzerland, September 1 (Jewish Telegraph Agency).—Gray- haired men, veterans of the Zionist movement, occupled ‘the platform in the Messe Hall at the first session of the fifteenth Zionist Congress, which was opened here yesterday. The majority of them were participants in the first congress held in this city, on August 30, 1897. Among the mem- bers of the actions committee there were only a few young men. The presence at the opening session of representatives of the League of Nations, the British government and many members of the diplomatic corps impressed the 270 delegates with what many of them spoke of as the international recognition achieved by the Zionist movement. Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the man who World War, in his presidential ad- dress declared that the “Palestine mandate, when considered politically, |§ has not given us all that we desiro, (| and which we are entitled to expect.” He added immediately, however, that an immense piece of work had been |} accomplished and must be continued. Among the American delegates some dissatisfaction was expressed over the can delegation to 40, becau protest of the opposition leaders. Six of the Amjericans’were elected to the committee.on committees, Which will decide the major problems facing the congress. Dr. Welzmann's statement of policy was devoted in the main to an outline of his negotiations while in the United States recently with Louls Mar- shall, president of the American Jew- ish committee, with regard to_enlist- | ing the support of non-Zionist Jews in the efforts to rebuild Palestine. In summing up the relations between the world Zionist organization and the power holding the mandate:in, Pales- tine, he declared" thdt there were no political hindrances for ‘continuing the work of rebuilding Palestigie. “The underlying - principle of our attitude is complete confidence in the mandatory power,” he asserted. “The Palestine government has. of late taken a more active part in the ef- forts to rebuild the Jewish. mational home. It has helped in ameliorating the condition of the unemployed, it recently promulgated “the Palestine communities ordinance which socures. a cultural and religious autonomy to the Jewish communities, it has pro- mulgated ordinances regulating in- dustry and has increased its allotment for the Hebrew. schoo] system. e expect to ask the ‘government to_adopt a_simil licy with That can absorb great heat and not break down.
