NORTHPORT, l.. l., April 3.--Dur-

early hour today, when severe
north gale swept the sound and sent
breakers crashing over the little
lighthouse at Stamford, 10 miles out
from the Connecticut town OF that

years old. kept her old gray heed at
the window and threw out the signals
for passing craft.
Out in the sound. In an open
launch which was momenrarffy IN
danger OF being shattered by the
waves, were John J. Cooke, the keep
er at the station, and his wife a
frail. sick woman. with whom he was
just returning from shore. He had
lost his only oar and the swift cur
rent sent the little craft out into the
open channel For hours the two

ter themselves from the cold wind,
but finally Mrs. Cook dropped to the
bottom of the craft from exposure.
The old woman In the lighthouse

the little craft tossed helplessly in
the rough water.
Half an hour later members OF the
lifesaving crew at Eaton's Neck pick
ed up the launch. Both husband and
wife were nearly dead from exposure
and were taken ashore where stimu-
lants were administered. Both will
recover.

FERGUSON.

WASHINGTON. April 3.--Two at
fdavits were put in evidence today
by Rep. Lilley. OF Connecticut. before
the special committee investigating
his charges OF corruption Of congress
by the Electric Boat Co.
One by John c. Lake. of Ruther-
ford, N. j., vice president of the Lake
Torpedo Boat Co., tells OF Charles
Ferry, OF Bridgeport. Conn, saying
Rear Admiral Bowles, vice president
of the Fore River Shipbuilding Co.,
had asked Ferry to use all influence
possible ION a Connecticut member OF
congress" to induce him TO cease
using his influence for the Lake Co.,
and to use 1t for the Electric Boat
Co. II this were done. Ferry said.
Bowles had promised that his COM
pany would make a 100000 contract
with Ferry's company, the Bridge
port Brass Co.
The second affidavit was signed by
Sam Ferguson. OF Bridgeport, Conn,
who says that In 1902. he and other
members of the United States navy
served on submarine boats owned by
the Electric Boat Co., and that. al
though they were being paid by the
navy, the company gave them addi-
tional money.
This affidavit Is put In to contradict
statements OF the officers OF the Elec-
trio Boat Co. that they never paid
money TO enlisted men In the navy.

NEW SCHEDULE AT REQUEST

business men OF the downtown dis
trict Of the city, Postmaster Homer
Warren has arranged to have the de-
livery heretofore made at o'clock set

The mail that Is due to arrive at
O'Clock on the Michigan Central from
eastern points. and which Is SEIZED
uled to go out on the 1:30 delivery,
Is, in the majority Of instances, late,
and thus business men have been
obliged to wait until the o'clock de-
livery. the average time at which 1t
reaches them being about 4:30. In
many cases this Is too late In the
day, and no less than 126 letters. from
prominent business firms of the down
town district petitioned Mr.. Warren to
come to their relief.
As the postmaster could not change
the hours himself. he took the matter
up with the postmaster-general, and
temporarily. Mr.. Warren will be glad
to receive information from those af-
fected by the change of hours as to
whether 1t affords them relief If
the train from the east arrives on
time. the hours as already arranged
would be all right, but In four months
the i o'clock train has been on time
only IA times.
The districts affected by the change
will be out Michigan-ave. as far as
Brooklyn; Grand River-ave. as far as
Lincoln; Gratiot-ave. as far as Rus

his confession on the strength
OF promise made by Capt.

DETROIT MAY HAVE
A LITTLE CON CON-

Detroit may have little constitu-
tional convention OF her own In 1909.
In case the new constitution Is
adopted, the city will have the right
to revise its own charter. The con-
stitution does not specify In just what
manner this may be done. however.
and II Is the opinion OF p. J. M. Hally,
who was "con-con" delegate, that
the legislature will have to provide
for the calling OF some charter re-
vision body
The council may be authorized to
act as a revision convention OF a sep
arate convention may be chosen by
election in the city. In either event
the revised charter will have to be
submitted to popular vote. I.
One Of the principal matters which
may be touched In revision is that
OF liquor license commission The
city would also have the right to raise
it's bonding limit and to issue bonds
for fire engine houses. police stations
and other public improvements Of q
permanent character IN such pro-
visions were includeds In the revision.
