BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 15.-Several of the
railroads centering in Chicago are con-
sidering the advisability of establish
1ng an employment bureau with a
view to insuring a better grade of
operating employees.
Great secrecy is maintained regard
ing the project because the opposition
of labor organizations is feared.
In the operating conferences which
recently were held by one or two roads
here the subject was received with
unanimous approval.
If such a bureau is established it
will have a complete list of all operat-
ing employees IL the United States, with
the complete record of the service of
each.
1t is stated that the demand for
operating employees is so great now
that any applicant, no matter what
his record, finds almost instant en-
ployment with any road.

Missing When Vessel
Is Found.

What fate befeli the nine men who
composed the crew Of the navy coal
barge No. !, which was adrift IN heavy
seas or the Florida coast for a week.
the Navy Department so far has been
unable to learn.
Although the barge was picked up
saturday and towed to Mayport. Fla.
according to a report which reached the
Navy Department yesterday, the only
living things on the craft at the time
. 'ere two dogs and cat.
Unusual steps had been taken by
Rear Admiral Converse. Chief of the
Bureau Of Navigation, to find the craft,
not so much to save It from implinent
destruction in the heavy seas as TO
rescue the men. The entire Atlantic
Meet, consisting Of fifteen battleships,
several cruisers, torpedo boats. and aux
mary craft, had been ordered to sweep
the seas from the Florida keys to Nor
ioih' from close IN to the coast to far
cast Of the Bahamas When the barge
was reported found orders were sent to
me WarshiDs to abandon the search.
pnt lnasmuch as no rows came from
the crew. orcsrs again were sent 10
Admiral Evans to instruct his ship COM
hlandeFs 60 inquire Of every vessel sigh.-
ed or within wireless communication
whether the crew was taken aboard.
II Is evident that the men either are
sate aboard come merchant ship OF that

they could have been floating helplessiv

APRIL ADJUDGEO
HOPELESS IDIOT
Snow Storm, Long Bottled,
Poured Down on ShiV-
ering Humanity.

Young April who, as announced in The
Times Sunday. had a brainstorm Satur-
day. was today adjudged hopelessly in
sane.
In the evidence which was brought
forward against the saneness Of Young
Aprn by District Attorney Weather
Forecaster It was alleged that Young
April was insane because Of the follow
ing facts:
1t showed today in spite Of the fact
that the Forecaster had said it would
be fair.
It showed like unto a December storm
when only a week ago the air was as
balmy as summer and spring-Iike
dresses adorned the bellies of the town.
while the beaux went about with adj
miring eyes riveted downward on new
low-quarter shoes.
There Is one hope that the verdict OF
hopeless insanity may be modified. The
Forecaster has said that il viii be clear
tomorrow and that, although IL may be
a little cooler than il is today, the snow
viii not long whiten the ground II
Young April has enough method IN his
madness to do as the Forecaster has
predicted, the EOrecaster may be mollt-
fed and may reduce the verdict simply
10 another brainstorm, followed by
snOwstorm.''
People went 10 work this morning in
summer clothes and low shoes, while the
snow fell fast and the damp blasts blew
about them with all that keenness or
midwinter. They had been caught IN
awares by the insanity of Young April
and had not had time to rescue their
winter clothes from the moth ball and
the zinc chest
The Forecaster says the storm Is gen.
eral In this section OF the country. He
thinks the snow may cease falling some
time this afternoon and the weather oe-
come clear and a little cooler.

as busy as the keeper of a paranoiac
