CHICAGO, December 3I-The Tribune to-

The work has been confined principally to

been completed, and the revenue cutter bu-
reau Of the Treasury Department will ask

north Pacific In order to aid vessels in dis
tress, and her duties may call her as far
north as Alaska. She is. not only to be a
seaworthy vessel but will have power
enough to make her quite fast, SO that when
word is received that her services are
needed by a vessel in trouble she will lose
little time in getting to the distressed YES
sci. The ship will be 152 feet long, will
have a beam of % feet and draft Of IL

BEATEN AND ROBBED IN BED.
Cleveland Broker Fatally Injured in
Pittsburg Hotel.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 31.-W. S.
Morton, a wealthy real estate broker OF
lois Lamont avenue, Cleveland, son and
heir of the late w. c. Morton. was murder
ously attacked and robbed OF securities
worth several thousand dollars $500 in cash
and a gold watch by a burglar who en-
tered his room in the Colonial Hotel early
yesterday. Morton is In hospital with his
skull broken. Physicians say he will die In
few hours
The burglar escaped, taking Morton's
suit case, concealing the plumber The po-
lice say the crime committed by we'll
known thief from Allegheny. Morton knows
the man, but his condition is such that he
cannot talk coherently during his brief
periods of consciousness.
The suspect loitered about the hotel for
days and formed an acquaintance with
Morton. Saturday night they went to AL
legheny. Morton returned to his room on
the third floor.
AS Morton lay in the bed the suspect en-
tered, and, seeing that he was recognized,
struck Morton on the head until he lay as
dead. Picking up the suit case containing
the securities and taking the watch and
money, the thief left the hotel. The night
clerk remembers seeing stranger leave
about o'clock.
Morton lay until o'clock. when he re-
gained his senses long enough to telephone
to the hotel office. He was hurried to the
hospital.
He rested well last night and while in a
semi conscious condition, the detectives
were summoned to his bedside. 1t is said
that Morton made efforts to speak, but his
tongue would not form the words He APP
peared at the time to understand the ques-
tons put TO him.
During the early hours of the morning he
again lapsed into Inconsistencies. Nor
tons two sisters and an aunt arrived from
Cleveland late last night and went at once
to the hospital. Some time was spent at
Mortons bedside and later the party was
closeted with the city detectives. None
would talk of the case.

man recovered consciousness for mo-
ment and pointed out Christopher Lynch
as his assailant. He said that Lynch
struck him over the head with pick

air locks, where the heavy atmospheric
pressure under which the men work IN
the lower tunnel Is gradually reduced.
When the party reached the surface Lun-
dening was sent to hospital and Lynch
to a police station
