LLOYD GEORGE QUICKLY STOPS IRISH BREAK Release of Mackeown. Idol of Army, Ordered by Premier From Paris. .¶ LONDON, Aug. 8.—Threatened break off in the Irish peace negotiations and the renewal of warfare in Ireland was averted today by Premier Lloyd George. The premier sent orders from Paris to release immediately John McKeown, a leader of the Irish republican army and a member of Dali Eireann (Sinn Fein parliament). When the British announced they would release the imprisoned members of Dali Eireann. McKeown was the only exception. The British authorities maintained he should not be liberated because the serious charge of murder had been lodged against him. The filnn Felners were deeply chagrined when the British made an exception of Mackeown because Eamocn De Valera had been given assurances that his request for the roles so of all Imprisoned members of the Dali Eireann would be met by the British government. The Sion Felaers renewed their demand for the release of Mackeown and the Irish office communicated with the premier, who is now In Faris attending the supreme council. The premier intervened and ordered th| temporary release of Mackeown to enable him to attend the meeting of the Sinn Fein parliament on Aug. 16 and to take par* In informal Sinn Fein discussions previous to that date. Pome government officials were dlspleaeed at the premier's action, l-tit others held that his intervention has saved the peace negotiations and pteverted a collapse of rbe truce.

TEX FREED WIRELAXD DUBLIN. Aug. B.—Ten imprisoned members of the Irish Parliament were released today in accordance with the British promise to permit them to discuss pence proposal. The men were freed from the internment camp at Curragh. MACKEOWN MUCH LIKED DUBLIN. Ang. B.—The “idol of the Irish Republican army,” John Mackeown, wbes* immediate release from Jail was refused by the British, causing a near split in the Irish-British peace negotiations. will sit with his fellow members of Dali Eireannn la the Sinn Fein parliament when it meets Aug 16, his release having been ordered by Lloyd Gecrge. Sinn Fein baders declared Mackeown's presence was necessary as he Is one of the "best and bravest fighters in the Irish KecpntU-an army aud his service's in the field entitle him to be beard iu the halls of dibate.” Not even the exploits of Michael Collins, the so-called commander-in-chief if the Irish Republican army, equal those of Mackeown. He was noted for his “clean figbMng,” and among the Black and Tau policemen, the Irish fighter was known as "Gentleman'’ Mackeown. Mackeown gained gained fcls sobriquet chiefly through his considerate treatment of prisoners and wounded enemies. Many BUrk and Tan policemen whom Mackeown bad sa ed from death In battle returned after th-dr wounds had healed to •hake their savior by the hand. Mackeown was a member of the “Republican flying squadron.” Before the armistice bl* mother and sisters had been taker by the British military authorities as hostages. t Marriage Licenses.

OCEAN KEEPS DEAD OF THE SHIP ALASKA (Continued From Page One.) her. Tiny children, distracted women and those infirm with age owe to her supervision and personal efforts their safety. “She worked as If inspired,” said a mother. And the third hero shares his distinction with his crow. Himself in danger from the dense fog in which the Alaska went to her fate and with the heavy tow endangering the movements of hia ship. Captain Snoddy, of the Anvox, por/ormed a miracle of the saa In reaching the scene of the wreck and taking from the oil and wreckage strewn waters 166 persons. Every boat and raft that had boon launched from the Alaska was picked up and in addition men and women struggling in the water were hanled to safety. “Credit due our crew for handling all survivors without mishap,” was the terse ard modest manner in which Captain Snoddy told of his night of heroism. The search for the bodies of those who lost their lives is in progress. Hundreds are watching along the rocky shores of Cape Mendocino for the sea to give up Its dead. Off Blunt's Reef, five miles out from shore half a dosen small craft are scouring thu surface of the ocean for bodies. Only a partial list of the victims of the disaster Is available as yet. Among the known victims we“e: Thomas Johnston. Brooklyn: E. Pickall, Hubbard, Ore.; A. X. Hu chinsou. Portland, Ore.; S. Kumazawa, a steerage passenger and the following members ot the crew. Chief Steward Heane. Steward F Iv King, Frank Comm, Ralph J. Mockett and an engine hand named Larsen. Twelve bodies have been recovered and thirty-six persons are reported missing.

SPEED COMPETITION BLAMED FOR DISASTER. Speed competition between coastwise vessels was blamed in marine circles for the Alaska disaster, as well as for most of the other half hundred wrecks which have strewn the reefs and headlands of the Pacific during the last twenty years. In order to save time, coastwise passenger ships hug close to the treacherous shore line. Instead of keeping well out to sea. When the treacherous fog of Saturday night crept down over the Pacific, Oiptain Hovpy lost sight of the flashing signals of lighthouses that dot the dangerous coast. Nervously, acccordlng to Second Mate Duprny, who waa on watch with Captain Hovey, the captain called him to the bridge and together they att-'mptel to determine the vessel's position. They were aware of the nearness of Blunts Reef. Twice they altered the vessel's position in an effort to keep clear of the reef. Captain Hovey thought he heard the wamlt'g whistle of the Blunts Reef lightship and sout Dupray to the sounding Instruments In an effort to locate from what direction it came. Dupray was unable to get an accurate bearing on the funeral whistle that momentarily sent out its mournful warning. BOTTOM OF SHir RIPPED Ol’T. Dupray hurried to the bridge and informed the captain of his inability to locate the whistle. They again altered the position of the Alaska to take her farther out to sea. Then came tha crashing and ripping as the bottom of the vessel, forward, was torn out. Water poured into the hold in a gushing flood. The vessel lurched and began to settle. Startled passengers rushed from their staterooms on to the darkened decks. Amid the cries of the terror-stricken and the noise of sharp-called orders the passengers donned life belt and took positions by the lifeboats. The ship began to list and the choppy waves about the reef licked higher and hither on the vessel’s side. Fearful men, women and children clung to the tilting rail. The lights went out as the pouring seas flooded the engine room. Scattered members of the crew, aeeording to Norbert Van Wetter, storekeeper on the Alaska, Anally appeared at most of the lifeboats. Many of the, he said, were green at the work of preparing the boats and handling the davits. Canvas covers of the boats were ripped off as nervous fingers fa!ld to unlatb them. INCOMPETENCE IN HANDLING LIFE I OAT 9. Women anS children, according to the code of the sea, were given preference in the boats. But there was insufficient room for nil. As the life boats swung out over the side of the careening ship, scenes of incompetence and disorder were reported. The first two boats pulled away successfully, but stood by hoping to give a finger hold to any who might become frightened and jump. John K. Clarke of Escalon said two

of the life heats on the port side of the vessel, plunged end long Into the water, passengers being dumped into the ocean. Another boat was reported left bnnging by one end at a perilous Rngle, when a heavy wave crushed it against the side of the veseel. Most of those who per ished were In these boats. Captain Hovey was last seen on the bkldge of his vessel. Practically nothing was saved from the wreck Probably more than half of thosj aboard uere in their berths when t'ae ship struck, and they had little time to dress. Some managed to anve llulr m A ney and valuables but the majority landed In Eureka destitute. SAVES LIFE OF INJI RFl> MAN. One of the heroes of the disaster was H. M. Jensen, of Vancouver, British Columbia. He Is credited with having saved the life of W. H. Dyer, of I.acrande, Ore., one of the most seriously injured of the survivors. “I floated for hours—lt seemed years, clinging to a bit of wreckage that would hardly bold my weight," said Jensen. “Finally I saw another man on a larger bit of wreckage, and I made for him. Ha proved to bo Dyer. He was seriously Injured. I aided him In clinging to my ple'-e of wreckage until we were rescued. “I never saw anything that looked so good in my life as did the hull of the Navox when It came in sight,” said Harold Sehoeave, of Wallace, Idaho. “It meant safety nnd that was what we were thinking of.” CHILI) OF FOLK FLOATS THROUGHOUT NIGHT. Little Betty Sanders of Garfield, Wash., 4, floated on tlye oil covered surface of the sea throughout the night. Clad only In a lifo preserver and a blanket, she was picked up at dawn Sunday, numb and near dead from exposuro by the coast guard crew nad brought aboard the Anyox. Little Betty ran the risk of being battered to death before she was landed safely in a hospital hero where sho Is reported doing nicely. Hetty does not know, however, that her grandmother, with whom she was traveling, Is among tho missing. Her grandmother was Mrs. Averlll of Garfield, Wash. Betty's parents live in 1 Los Angeles. •'Most of those In the hospitals are suffering from shock, exposure, chill, oil, nnd salt water,” said Dr. John N. Chain Red Cross physician.
