FRANK {. HOWE, Editor and Publisher

Two bills failed to become laws, il
seems through the non approval of
Gov Bell. Both were passed and went
to him so short a time before final adj
journment that, under the provision of
the constitution relating to veto, he
could defeat them by Withholding his
approval. This he did. They were
the bills providing for emblems on the
official ballot and giving the state
board of health authority to require
the installation of sewage system in
cities, towns or villages having public
water systems. An executive veto. un
der such circumstances, does amount
to something If Gov Bells action
had been anticipated, quite likely the
versatile legislature would have de
vised some way to circumvent him

of Secretary Hay as the latter's guest,
was entertained at luncheon by Presi-

the president an earnest invitation To
join in an international movement to
accomplish the thorough excavation of
Hcrculaneum The plan, it was eX-
planned, does not involve governmental
aid.
Professor Waldstein gave a lecture
before the Washington Society of the
Archaeological Institute of America.
He explained that Herculaneum never
had been as thoroughly explored as
pompeii. and his idea now was.
through international cooperation, to
accomplish that result. The move

gun in different countries of the world.

Girl who Jumped From Three Story

Room III new 10TH iufhttht".
LANCASTER, Pa. Dec. 2S. - The
young woman calling herself Cecil
Hall. who was killed 10y plunging from
the third story window of ii lodging
house in West Forty-siXth street. New
York, has been identified as Cecilia
Moss, aged twenty-three years, of this
city. Her mother, Mrs. Thomas Moss,
residing at $40 West Marion street,
received the following telegram
"Sorry to tell you your daughter has
committed suicide What shall | do
with body?"
The telegram was signed Mrs. NJ.

graphed back that the body should be
sent to this city.
Mrs. Moss Is unable to give much in
formation as to her daughters recent
career. About year ago the girl
went to Washington. Later she wrote
to her mother that on Sept. she had
married Clinton Frazer Of that city,

ago she wrote that she and her hus-
band would spend Christmas here with
Mrs. Moss, but letter received a few

FIERCE STORM RACES
Efforts to Save Drumelzier
Barred by Heavy Surf.
CAPTAIN AND CREW MAY PERISH.
Fog 50 Thick and Seas So Heavy
That Rescue Work lis Almost Im-
possible, ns II stops COmmuni-
cation with Wrecked Vessel.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S,-Efforts to
learn whether Captain Nicholson and
the crew of the British tramp steamer
| Drumelzier are still aboard the vessel,
which is aground on the bar at Fire is
land, have been unsuccessful, and last
night the life savers were still watch
| Ing from the beach in the hope of COM
municating with the ship.
Hidden in black fog and pounded
! by fierce seas rolling from the south
! east the steamer is in imminent danger
of going to pieces. II her captain and
crew of thirty-two men are still in the
ship they face an almost certain death
In the heavy surf breaking over the
sandy beach.
TIE captain would not let the life
savers take off his crew yesterday when
the seas We're not running so high, and
II is now too late to help them. No
lfeboat in the world could be launched
IN the teeth of the southeast gale that
dashed up great waves and crashed
them down on the shore.
The fog was so thick that the strand
ed vessel could not be seen from the
shore, 200 yards away. out on the
sand bar, where the big vessel was last
seen rocking in the waves, there was
nothing to be seen but black haze, so
dense that not even signal rockets could
be seen from shore.
Two rescuing tugs were by the YES
sci last night, but no report has been
received from them, and il is thought
they may have fled to escape the wrath
of the rising storm.
The crews of both the Fire island and
Oak island life saving stations are on
the beach opposite the Drumelzier, but
they were helpless. They could barely
see one another's faces as they stood
huddled over the fire they had built Oh
the beach for warmth and as beacon
light to the shipwrecked sailors
The wind freshened from the south
and heavy that the men on the beach
said there was no chance for any one
on board the Drumelzier The only
hope was that the wrecking tugs had
rescued the crew in the darkness.
The surf was too high for lifeboat
to be launched, and 1t was impossible
TO get in communication with the
Drumelzier. Should the weather clear
an effort will be made to shoot line to
the Drumezier, but it was feared that
the ship would go to pieces before that
Is possible.
The Drumelzier belongs to the Astral
Shipping company of Liverpool, Eng
land, but is under charter to Barber X
Co. Until recently she was used be
tween Baltimore and Daiquiri, Cuba,
and her last two trips We're very eXcit-
Ing. She encountered a hurricane that
stove in all her boats and put hole
Ia her side. Three days overdue. she
