GAR FERRY SINKS:
81 LIVES LOST
MARQUETTE AND BESSEMER
BOAT NO. 2 MISSING IN
LAKE ERIE.
DISAPPEARED TUESDAY EVENING
YawI and Wreckage Indicate That
Boat Is Wrecked.-FamiIies of
Men Have About
Given Up Hope.

Detroit, Dec. 11.-All hope that the
car ferry Marquette and Bessemer No.
2 outlived the winter gale which has
made of Lake Erie watery graveyard
during the last 70 hours, has been
practically abandoned at the head Of
fees in Walkerville, Ont, of the Mar
quette and Bessemer Dock & Naviga-
ton company, owners of the Inflated
vessel. 1t is believed that Captain R.
| r. Mcleod. of Conneaut, o., and his
crew of 81 men, have gone down to
death with the big steamer.
The Marquette and Bessemer No. 2
left Conneaut, O., at 1925 o'clock
Tuesday morning for Port Stanley,
Ont, with 80 loaded coal cars and I'M
der ordinary conditions should have
arrived at her destination at p. m.
the same day. She has not been sight
ed by other boats.
An empty green yawl boat and some
wreckage was seen by the steamer W..
B. Davock near Long Point, Ont, in
the path which the ferry would have
taken. The yawl boats of the No. 2
are painted green.
The Marquette and Bessemer No. 1
left Conneaut at 6 a. m. Tuesday for
Port Stanley and it was about sixty
hours before she was heard from.
She has since searched the lake
toward Point Pelee, but has found
nothing of her sister ship. Tugs have
secured the lake and report no trace
Of the No. 2.
The list of the crew as given out by
Manager Leslie of the Marquette and
Bessemer company follows:
Captain, Robert r. Mcleod; first
mate, John Mcleod; second mate, F.
Stone; purser, R. G. Smith; wheelman

MONEY FOR WATERWAYS
ESTIMATES FOR 1911 CONSIDER.
ABLY LESS THAN 1910.
Possibility of Reconstruction the Rea-
son for Cutting Down Twin City
Appropriation.

Washington, Dec. S-The secretary
Of the treasury, in estimates for ap-
preparations submitted to congress at
Its opening session, asks $59,543 for
continuing work on lock and dam No.
l, between Minneapolis and ST. Paul.
This amount is reduction from the
100000 which had been made avail
able for the work. The possibility of
a reconstruction of the dams has re-
suited in the making of as small an
appropriation as possible for the car
rying on of the work until the special
commission reports.
For the Improvement of Mississippi
from Minneapolis to the mouth of the
Ohio, $750,000 is asked. Estimates
for $S43. 900 are made for the improve.
ment of the Duluth-Superior harbor.
For the Red River of the North,
$1,000 is asked; for the keepers house
at the Duluth lighthouse station,
100000
Nine million dollars is asked for the
continuation of work on the irrigation
projects and $125.OOO for continuing
the work of making charts of the
Great Lakes.
Retrenchment is the keynote in the
estimates of expenditures for the ex-
ecutive departments of the govern
ment for the fiscal year 1911. This
s in line with President Taft's de-
slared policy of greater economy in
administering the affairs of the gov
eminent.
The Estimates.
The total estimates for 1911 are
1854 ,132, 1877, including the naval build
ng program. Excluding the increase
n the Panama canal estimates, the
:otal estimates for 1911 show a de-
crease of $57,244,49 under the ap-
preparations for 1910. Including the
Increase in the Panama canal esti-
mates, the total estimates for 1911
show decrease of $42,S1S,969.19 I'M
der the appropriations for 1910.
The ordinary estimated receipts for
the current year are $64S,OOO,OOO and
The ordinary disbursements at $685.
75,72O, leaving a deficit in ordinary
receipts of $34,075,620. When the pay
ments on account of the Panama canal
and the public debt are added the
total deficit of the fiscal year 1910 is
estimated at s73,075,62012.
The estimated ordinary receipts for
1911 are $672,00O,000 and the estimat-
ed ordinary appropriations $636O6S,-
b72.51, or surplus in ordinary re-
ceipts of s35,931 .32749. When the
Panama canal estimates for 1911 are
added the surplus is turned into a
deficit of S12,132, 1921.
For the fiscal year 1910 the naval
building program was not included in
the estimates submitted to the con-
gress. When the naval program is
eliminated from the estimates for
1910, and 1911, the total estimates
Tor 1911 are $94,OO1, 49292 less than
the total estimates for 1910

WAITING on Wharf,

Conneaut, Ohio, Dec. 1.-THE wives
and children of the officers and men
of the missing car ferry No. 2, of the
Bessemer and Marquette line are
grouped at the wharf, waiting the re-
turn of tug which left Port Dover
yesterday afternoon for Long Point.
If the ferry it not found in shelter
there the last hope that she is safe
will be gone.
In case the scattered wreckage re.
ported by the steamer w. B. Davock
is actually that of the ferry, the cause
of the disaster will be ascribed here
in part to the manner in which she
was loaded. A heavy weight of bridge
iron, piled on top of ordinary freight
cars, may have shifted in the heavy
seas, placing the craft out Of control.

of the flax laden freighter w. G. Rich
ardson, which foundered just outside

STOCKING WATERS OF a
 STATE WITH FISH.
Millions Distributed by Fish and Game
 Commission

 Millions Distributed by Fish and Game
 Commission.
 The fish commissioners are making strenous efforts to stock the waters of Connecticut with suitable fish for pro- pagation and are meeting with splen- did success At the present time all the hatcheries are filled with game and food fish. which will be distrib- uted at a later date, and as long as eggs can be secured the work of hatching fish for distribution will be continued In addition to the distribu- tion of shad fry and Holsters an- nouncement of which was made re- gently, the commissioners have had placed in the Joshuatown retaining ponds 300,000 shad fry to be distrib- uted next October.
 Ten million yellow perch have been placed in the Navasink ponds at Dan- bury and in Crystal Lake, near Staf- ford Springs. and 5000 900 white perch have been distributed In the waters about New Canaan since the first. of the year. Over 200 900 lake trout have been liberated in the ponds and streams throughout the state and there are more in the hatcheries to be distributed soon. During the year 1908 over 130,OO0, 900 fish were distributed in the waters of the state, the largest number ever distributed during any one year, in the history of the state. For the year 1909 the number of fish to be liberated in the state will far exceed the number of the year pre- vious by several million and the indi- cations now are that it will be close to 56,000000 more. The commissioners have applications for nearly POO .OoO brook trout and these are now in the hatcheroes- and will be ready to dis tribute in the fall.

DON HIGH HEELS IF
 YOU WEAR CORSETS
One Tips the Body Forward; the Other
 Tips it Back.
CHartford Courant.) ]

The scientific pronouncement has been made that corsets and high heels jvidually and without the accompani- Tnent of the other, is bad-very bad But in cahoots. they're all the candy.
 From the point of view of fashion, to the combined effect upon the wearer of corsets and high heeled shoes though each in itself is generally re- garded as a more or less fragrant evil It will doubtless come as a surprise to many, therefore, to hear that from of the combination, while somewhat complicated, is in the main preferable to the effect of either the one or of the$ other when worn alone. Such was the opinion expressed by Dr. R. w. Lovett and pr. F. Reynolds in papers read by them yesterday after noon before the members of the American Orthopedic Association.
 The statement was made in connec- tion with a preliminary study of the mechnics of the upright position with special reference to backache, and a consideration of the effect of corsets ance of the human body and upon the position of the center of gravity, in considering the combined effect of corsets and high-heeled shoes upon the center of gravity of the body of the wearer. Dr. Reynolds said that the latter seemed to. modify toward the no-mal, the unhealthy position in- duced by corsets. Then after remark ing that it was now impossible to buy a pair of satisfactory corsets, Dr. those which could be bought into three classes-the good, bad and neu- tral- Most of the bad corsets, he said, threw the center of gravity forward, had led him to believe, backaches and other ailments.
 High shoes tend to tip the body backward, throwing the center of gravity into posterior position. This, of course. is also bad, but strange as it may seem, Dr. Reynolds's experi- ments have led him to the opinion that the combined effect of corsets and high-heeled shoes, while somewhat complicated, seems in general to be preferable to the effect produced by either the one or the other worn alone.
 Before the discovery announced yesterday the evils of corsets and high heeled shoes have been held as cu- initiative.
 Stuff and nonsense" the girls have replied, i've knew that before we went to our first dance and we've heard it from every trump and from every ever since. But we'd rather have back aches and headaches and all the rest than to look like a lot of scrub wo- men with 36-inch waists and fiat feet.'
 It is all superbly simple, just like all other great discoveries.
 High heels throw the body back ward That's bad. Corsets throw the body forward Bad again. Do away with corsets and high heels then Never. If high heels throw the center of gravity-whatever or wherever that may be-backward, and corsets do the reverse, why. if one wears tight enough corsets and high enough heels, you see they'll neutralize each other to the queens taste.
