DISASTER FEARED.
No News From a Pleasure Yacht
With a Party on Board.

LOUISVILLE (Ky), JAM 15-There
seems to be every reason to believe
that the naphtha yacht Paul Jones.
which left Louisville December 7th with
a pleasure party of society people
bound for Pensacola, Fla, and other
ports In Southern waters. has gone
down in gale in the Gulf of Mexico
with all on board. The party consist
ed OF Colonel H. c. Yocum and daugh-
ter. Miss Yocum, and G. NJ Yocum. all
of ST. Louis: Miss Florence Taggart.
daughter of Mayor Taggart of Indian
apoiis, and Miss Margie Woodland of
Chicago
Deckhand John Barry and Engineer
Rag}ey were the only two members of
the crew Of four known in Louisville.
The last heard from the yacht was
when 1t left. the mouth of the Mississip-
Tpi River on January 3d. 1t was the
plan of Colonel Yocum under whose
direction the yacht was sailing, to coast
along the various ports between the
Mississippi and Pensacola, where it
was the intention of the party to make
a considerable stay According to
weather reports received at the local
bureau, the yacht encountered a storm
When three days out.
The relatives of those on board are
ina terribly perturbed state of mind
on account of the lack of information.
They have been telegraphing every port
on the Gulf coast where 1t is thought
the slightest chance of information
could be obtained. No word of the
missing craft had been learned up to
late hour tonight. Tugs have put out
from number of ports in search of
her and some definite information
ought to be learned concerning the
vessels fate tomorrow.
; It Is barely possible that the Paul
Jones put in during the gale at a
point along the coast where there is no
telegraph Office, hence no tidings of her.
She was one of the finest pleasure
yachts of her size afioat, being sixty
feet tn length, ten feet beam and five
rect draught. A twenty horsepower
gasoline engine in the center of the boat
furnished the power to turn the single
screw propeller in the rear Fuel for
IxOOs miles was carried The interior
OF the four cosy cabins was finished in
mahogany and plate glass mirrors and
these were changed to sleeping rooms
much as q sleeping car is changed from
81 coach to sleeper at night.
The complete equipment and hand
spme decorations made it veritable
floating palace
The nne lines Of the hull and unusu-
ally powerful engine and screw made
the yacht as speedy and seaworthy as
II was possible to construct.

tigable little manager is on his way to
San Francisco to conduct six day
cycle race with Champion Miller and a
lot of crack riders.
At the last meeting Of the Board Of
Governors Of the California Associated
Clubs. after long and hot debate the
laws were amended to read: sIn all
annual events promoted by the assoi
citation all contestants must be MEM
bers in good standing upon the individ-
ual membership list, otherwise they
will not be entitled to ride in such

association may and shall be permit
ted to compete in all races (whether
open or interclub events) held under
the rules of the association, and fur
ther, that all rules and laws in conflict
with this provision are hereby. repeal
ed" The matter is noticed, however,
for reconsideration at the meeting Of
February 4th.
An important item to consider in
wheeling is how 1pu breathe, says
Theodore r. MacClure in a paper pre-
pared for the recent Detroit Sanitary
Convention. You can breathe through
your nose, you can breathe through
your mouth, but If you breathe through
your nose you can be satisfied that you
are making no mistake. But if you
breathe through your mouth, it would
be we'll to give the point due considera-
ton and if necessary consult your
physician. For healthful wheeling.
breathing through the nose should be
practiced. In the nose are little hairs,
ella, which have been placed there by
nature to strain out impurities that
may be in the air and the moist mu-
cous membranes of the nasal cavity
have a similar function. Nature has
made no such provision for mouth
breathing.
There is another important reason
why mouth breathing demands atten-
ton. and that is it indicates that the
vital portion of the organism-the
hearts not performing it's functions
properly. Difficulty in breathing, so
that one is obliged to breathe through
the mouth, indicates a lack of blood
supply to the lungs and also a weak
ened condition of the heart.
Abdominal breathing has direct bear
ing upon a healthful condition of the
human economy, and is particularly
sought for in professional vocalists.
Not only this, but it tends to better
form and better digestion.
A prohibition organ calls attention
to the fact that the leaders in the re-
cent six-day bicycle race did not use
liquor during the contest, while the
foreigners, who are all wine and beer
drinkers, early fell by the wayside.
