Johns, Indicates LOSS of Big Ship.
St. Johns, Feb. 13-This coast has
been the scene of another marine TRACE

An empty brandy case was found
among the wreckage. There is an album

it is evident that some steamer has gone
To its doom, taking with it the whole OF

Many here think that the unfortunate
vessel was the steamer Lucerne, owned
by the Coastal Company of st. Johns
and twenty-one days out from Ardros-
san, Scotland, with cargo OF coal for
this place. The vessel was expected off
this coast last week.
The officers of the Lucerne were ex-
sperienced navigators and we'll ac-
quainted with these waters. But there
is possibility that an iceberg collided.
with the ship and sent it to the bottom,
CT that it might have telescoped It's
bows against the cliffs in a fog and
sunk in deep water.
Magistrate Turf, of Perlican, wired the
facts of the wreckage and the owners of
the Lucerne sent a man to Perlican yes
terday to identity the wreckage. If he
finds that the wreckage belongs to the
.ucerne, thirty lives have been lost and
thirty families have been left desolate
i'll this city. The Lucerne carried a crew
of twenty three, but it was bringing six
ether men belonging to the wrecked
schooner Emulator. as well as one pas

Another possibility is that the wreck
is that Of some cargo steamer coming

Ask Pneumatic Tube Appropriation.I
Washington, Feb. 13.-1'he senate
committee on postofiice has decided to
recommend the adoption of an amend-
lnent to the postoffice apppropratio ton
bill providing for an appropriation OF
$500. 900 for pneumatic tube service
The committee concluded the consid-
GRAFTON OF the bill, but did not decide to
recommend other important amends
ments. The total increase of appropri-
atoms recommended by the committee
amount to 1925, 900, making the grand to-
tai of the bill s124,sos, Oss, or ,o46 in
excess of the estimated postal revenues
for the year. In addition to the appio-
priation for the pneumatic tube system,
there is a small appropriation for free
delivery of mail in towns and small
cities and another small appropriation
for experimenting with return postage
envelopes and postal cards. The bill
probably will be reported to the senate
today and taken up for consideration
next Monday.

PRESENTS FOR EMPLOYEES
Rocky Mountain Smelter Passes
Out Dollars to rleu.

One of those little acts which
tend to develope and preserve
friendly feelings between employ
er and employee, made the en-
ployees about the furnace room of
the Rocky Mountain smeller wear
smiles last evening.
All the employees in the furnace
department, tappers, charge wheel
ers and others. were yesterday aft
ernoon presented with a silver
dollar by the management. 1t
was given to the men as a mark of
appreciation of their efforts in
keeping No. 2 furnace running
without "freeze-up" for two days.
The men did work energelically
and seemed to take personal in
terest in keeping the furnace in
blast. In fact, in the present ex-
perimental condition of the opera
tions, constant care and attention
is necessary to prevent Il freeze
up"
There have been five such
"freeze-ups' in one or the other of
the two furnaces since the plant
started. A freeze is simply
the cooling off of the lower part of
the furnace, and may be caused by
several things, especially by i'm
proper compounding of the charge.
Some persons have become DOS
sessed of the ideas that the freeze
ups" of the smelter furnaces de-
noted that the plant was not sue
cess. That, however, is ridicu-
lous. Smelter experts say that the
furnaces could both be- running
steadily, but that the operations
are now in sort of experimental
stage, to determine how little >ex-
pensive ''Auxiug' can be gotten
along with.
The Rocky Mountain smelter is
a thorough success that much
has already been proved and even
another "freeze-up" or two would
mean nothing.

The new house apportionment
provides for an increase of twenty
nine mem bers, thus enabling each
state to keep ali the representa-
tives that it has. Every ten years
the same sort of struggle insvita-
bly, recurs but sooner or later
some states are bound to lose.
The West is bound to continue
more rapid in its growth than the
East, and if the apportionment is
to continue to be based on the
present representation of the states
of slowest growth. the house will

The Situation as Discussed BY

on Manager Jacobs of the Ell Paso

learning something of the strike
situation from his point of view
Mr.. Jacobs was suffering severely
from the grip, but he was willing
to talk of mill matters. Mr..
Jacobs expressed deep regret that
the matter had developed into any
thing SO serious, but hoped that
the present demands of the mill
men might be withdrawn before
his company should decide to close
down the mill
