hausted and frostbitten, after an expert
ence of twelve days in an open boat and
on the Ice field sixty miles off Scatterie,
two fishermen were rescued by the French
schooner Leon Emile. which arrived here
yesterday. The men, James Bartlett and
William Merritt, were members of the crew
of the Newfoundland schooner Excelda. On
April 20 they left the vessel in a dory to
look after the travis. A dense fog set in, and
for three days they tried unsuccessfully to
reach the vessel. Two days later they reach
ed the great field Of Ice foes sixty miles
off Scatterie. They pulled their dory up on
a huge cake and went to sleep. For five
days they remained there, without sight
ing any vessel. The weather was intensely
cold. Everything combustible in the dory
was used to make fires to warm themselves
and cook their fish. The men were at last
forced to live on raw fish which had been
caught by birds. On May 10 the fishermen
succeeded in attracting the attention Of the
crew Of passing vessel. which proved to
be the French schooner Leon Emile. and
they were taken aboard. 1t Is believed they

Defends the Private Car Lines

Mr.. George S. Robbins of Chicago. presi-
dent of the Armour Car Lines Company and
the first representative of private car lines
to be heard by the Senate interstate com.
merce committee, now investigating the
railroad rate and allied problems, was a.
witness before the committee yesterday.
He explained that these car lines were not
engaged in interstate commerce. The aei-
tation tending toward the confiscation of
private cars had deferred his company from
increasing their facilities. Mr. Robbins was
severe in criticising witness before the
interstate commerce commission who he
asserted, had stolen books and the code of
the Armour Company and had opposed the
company because of a fancied wrong, The
Armour car lines did not now deal in prod
uce, he suggested, having discontinued that
phase OF trade in May. 1904, save to a lin
tied extent in butter, eggs and poultry. He
denied any community of interest be-
tween the railroads and the Armour car
lines.
The witness denied that the cars were
used to secure rebates. Mr.. Robbins dis
cussed the fruit business in Michigan and
the contract with the Pere Marquette rail-
road, which. he said, was the best point of
attack for the opponents and the hardest
for the Armour Company to defend. He
said that, after much consideration. con-
tract was made with the Pere Marquette
