have seen or noticed the vessel off this
place were Anton Supantuch and wife,
whose residence Is high on the lake,
and who told representative Of the
press the following;
I'VE noticed a two-masted vessel
about a mile of shore about 12 o'clock
Monday. She was, II seemed from here
through glass, lumber-laden, and had
one-the middle-mast broken in two,
and was having hard struggle with
the waves, which were furious all day.
We watched her closely and she went
on about two or three miles south OF
here, and then we went upstairs and
looked at her from the upstairs win
dow. She made one plunge sideways,
and Immediately went over We could
distinguish plainly one man clinginR
to the rigging. We do not know the
name OF the boat, but 1t was q large
one, and apparently carried large
crew. No one came ashore, we are
sure.

Judge JacEson's Retirement.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-the state
ment is made on what seems the best
authority that when Justice jackson
called on the president Monday he did
not discuss the income tax or the de-
cision that the supreme court has
reached thereupon, but that, on the
contrary, he talked simply Of his com
ing retirement and the date on which IT
would occur. He expects to leave for
Tennessee Tuesday.

Float New Issue.
WASHINGTON, May 10 There Is re.
port that the administration will soon
float another bond issue. This does
not seem credible. The gold reserve
is now nearly one hundred millions,
and II there are no gold Withdrawals II
will exceed that sum by more than ten
millions when the gold has all been de-
livered.
Bonds would have TO be issued for re
demption purposes, and with such a
gold reserve, and no gold Withdrawals
in prospect, it does not appear as II
bonds could be sold legally. There Il
big deficit in the treasury depart
ment, but the cash balance is large
enough to meet present needs, as II has
been increased by the redemption oi
