a LAKE LOTS LEG.
How II solved the Mystery Of the
wreck OF . Steam Propeller.

How It Solved the My1tery OK the
Wreck OF Steam Propeller.
1--WE are never amazed when vessels
70 aground and are wrecked on Lake.
Erie during the gales that are common
on that treacheroua water, for we ex-a
pect such things then, said q lake
skipper, '.but when one is grounded on
clear day and wrecked on course as
clear as the day in the hands of a pilot
that knows the ground like book We
naturally wonder little and want TO-
know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case Of the propeller Susan =.
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with q $20, 600 cargo.
.sThe captain Of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds Of times
between Point Pelee and Bar point and
in all kinds Of weather, and this time
he had q wheelman who was known
from one end Of the lake to the other 40
one Of the most expert navigators in
the lake business. He had been lying
M hong time, for the very good reason
that owing to an accident to one OF his
legs that leg had to be amputated to
save his life. The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
pilot was ready to take his post at the
wheel again. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip Of the Susan
e. Peck, and he ran her aground.
.The puzzle to everybody was how
il was possible for the propeller, ham
died by man Of such skill and expert
ence. on q straight course only 40 miles
long and with every sailing condition
favorable, to leave her course The pilot
was the most puzzled and aatounded
person Of all. He soon got another yea
sci, and this one he ran in such an er-
ratio manner, but fortunately with no
disastrous result, that he was compelled
to give her up, and his usefulness as
pilot was gone. He and others went to
investigating to see il they could dis
cover what was wrong with his sea-
manship.
"After awhile they discovered what
they believed was the trouble. In the
pilots artificial leg a great deal Of steel
had been used in the joints and other
places. Sitting close to the pinnacle. as
he did while steering, this steel derang-
ed the compass SO that It threw the
wheelman way of his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan e. Peck and endan-
gered the other vessel that the wheel
man navigated subsequently,. This was
what they argued, and to demonstrate
the correctness Of the theory the pilot
took charge Of . vessel without wear
ing his false leg. Everything worked to
charm. The mystery Of the Susan E.
Peck was solved, and the pilot was re-
stored to his old place in the confidence
Of Lake Erie shippers and vessel own

psdaer Law n. O.

bisMARcK. N. D., April s6. The
supseme court today held that the
peddler law, passed at the last session
Of the legislature, Was uncenstitudon-
q. and afirmed 1.-THE decision Of
judge Fisk, Of Grand Forks. Of
March 81. A man was arrested and
brought before Judge Fisk who de-
cided the law was unconstitutional
and the state appealed the case, in
tending TO have il heard at the Fargo
term Of the supreme court, but it
went over on account Of the absence
Of Judge Bartholomew. The decision
is in effect: That the bill is uncon-
stitutional because the tax is "a reve-
nue. measure, and meta police regula-
ton. as no provision is made for the
Regulation Of the peddler business,
such as inspection, ETC., which always
accompanies police measures, and it
further claimed that if the law was in
tended as police measure it, would
be void, because the revenue 10 be
derived lherefrom would be vastly in
excess of The cost of enforcement,
while simply police measure must
be only self-sus,aining, or as nearly
SO as possible.
AS revenue law the act is held to
be unconstitutional because it pro-
vides for no manner of disposing Of
the revenue collected. The only
provision as to the money involved
is that it shall be paid by the peddler,
but the law is silent as to the man
ner and purpose of its application.
Other points, such as the claim
that this law is class legislation,
which were introduced in the test Of
the former law, we're also brought
up.
