FISHING TUG BURNED
Crew Win Desperate Fight For Life
In 14-MiIe Trip In Small Boat.

Lorain, o., Dec. 81. - The fishing
tug Penelope of Cleveland burned
Sunday afternoon fourteen miles off
shore. The crew Of three escaped aft.
er a battle with ice foes in the bitter
cold which almost cost them their
lives.
The boat, which belonged to A. H.
Langell of Cleveland, was bound for
its winter quarters, at st. Clair, Mich.
Captain Charles Inches discovered the
fire in the engine room, and in only
few moments his position and that of
the engineer and fireman became un-
tenable.
While they were trying to cast
loose the larger of two yawls they
carried it caught fire. They were
forced to take refuge in the other
smaller one where there was barely
room for the three men.
The men, thsir oars and their
boards were crusted with ice before
they had gone a mile. Two miles off
shore they encountered shore ice, too
thin to bear their weight, but thick
enough to impede the progress of the
boat. Through this they were com
PEELED to break their way, stiffened by
the penetrating wind, endangered
every moment by the shifting Ice.
When they reached shore, five miles
west of here they collapsed. The en-
gineer of the craft is Percy Upper
and the fireman Jack McIver.

UNUSUALLY BUSY THIS YEAR
Senator Money Wants Another En-
ploye For Committee Which Sell
dom Meets,

Washington, Dec. 21 - Senator
Money of Mississippi, the new min
ority leader, introduced in the senate
a resolution creating the additional
position of messenger to the confer
enc1 committee of the minority, at
salary of S1,440. This committee, of
which Senator Money is chairman and
which meets only two or three times
in the course of session, now has a
clerk, an assistant clerk and a mes
senger. These positions are now held
respectively by the son, daughter-in-
law and the daughter of the senior
senator from Mississippi. Senator
Moneys desire for another messenger
to serve the minority committee leads
Democrats around the senate to the
belief that this is going to be an un-
usually busy session with the new
minority leader. 1t is also suspected
that a fourth member of the Money
family will soon be on the payroll of
the senate employees.

WHY CONSUMERS SUFFER
Representative Rowland Introduces a
Resolution Of Inquiry.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Housewives
throughout the country who are pay

orbitant prices for meat and FIVE
cents apiece for eggs will probably
voice paeans of praise for Represent
ative Paul HowlanG of Ohio when they
learn about resolution he intro
duced in the house. Mr.. Howland's
resolution calls for an investigation as
to why the cost of the necessities of
life is soaring sllyward.
He has two theories on the subject.
One is that the tariff may be RESPONSE
BILE for the trouble and the other that
combinations of capital have got hold
of the sources of supplies and are
manipulating things to their own ad-
vantage and to the disadvantage of
the consumers.

ALBERT TO TAKE OATH
As the New King Of Belgium on
Thursday.

Leopold's Funeral on the 22nd-His
Wish That obsequies Be Simple Will
Not Be observed-Law Courts Have
Been Closed Until the Accession Of
King Albert - Issue of Leopold's
Morganatc Marriage Have No
Standing In Belgian Law.
King Leopold of Belgium died at
2:95 o'clock Friday morning.
Leopold IL. took that name on his
corosation. but was christened with
the name Louis Philippe Mario Victor,
the name by which he was known
during his years as crown prince
and Duke Of Brabant. He was born
in Brussels in 1885, the son of Leo
pold |. of Belgium. In 1858, at the
age of Is, he married the Archduchess
Marie of Austria. He became king
Of the Belgians in 1865.
Leopold was behind the internation-
al association that sent Stanley back,
I'D the formation of the Congo Free
.Slte, not discovered until recently to
be run in the interest of Leopold's
pocket. Following Stanley's return
Leopold sunk million after million
into Congo development A scandal
GUS rumor had it that he used up even
the $l5,000,000 private fortune of his
insane sister, Carlotta, the widow of
the unfortunate Emperor Macmillan.
For time Leopolds finances were
considered in bad shape. But his
judgment had proved correct. In the
end, in fact very shortly, the Congo
enterprise began to pay back. 1t has
done so since the early '90s.
Terrible accusations have beer made
by travellers and missionaries in the
Congo region against Lcopold's treat
ment of the natives. 1t has been call
ed proconsular grinding, paralleled
only by the atrocities of the Roman
colonial governors and by the acts of
the Spanish In the New World The
Congo population is said to have been
reduced.
These arguments have been widely
and ably denied and are considered
by many 10 stand not proven.
The new King of the Belgians, who
has been known hitherto as Prince
Albert of Flanders, will be sworn in
next Thursday in the presence of the
two chambers of the Belgian parlia-
ment, which will be convened in Joint
session for the purpose
Until that day the government of
the kingdom is to be administered by
a regency consisting of the council of
ministers.
No attention is paid to vague gossip
which hints that the Baroness
Vaughan will put in claim to the
throne on behalf of her elder son,
Lucian, who was made Duke of Terv-
nevin by the late king. 1t seems to
be certain that the young woman was
married to the king in Italy by a re-
ligious ceremony, but this would give
her and her children no standing un-
der Belgian law as regards the success
sion to the monarchy. 1t is quite
doubtful, too, as tC whether the cere-
mony antedated the birth of Lucian.

BRODT LOSES CONCESSION
Bids For New Contract to Supply I'm,
migrants at Ellis Island.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Fritz Brodt,
who holds the concession at Ellis is
land to sell food to immigrants, will
be deposcd. Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel has signed an order
cancelling the contract for Brodt and

that other articles may be called for

New York at prices yielding a net
profit over wholesale cost to the con.
tractors. Commissioner Williams
charges that the food furnished by
Brodt was Of inferior quality and his
service had been in other ways un.
satisfactory.

Quits, With No Rush For the Job.
Harrisburg, Dec. 21.-As Insurance
Commissioner David Martin Of Phil
adelphia will have to quit his state po-
sition before the first Monday in jan
uary to assume the Office of register
of wills in his home city, to which he
was elected last November, it is ex-
pected that Governor Stuart will name
the new insurance commissioner be-
fore the first OF January.
The impression here is that the
place will go to one Of the Interior
counties, to compensate for the recent
transfer of the banking commission
ershlp from Somerset to Philadelphia,
but no intmation Is given as to the
probable appointee.
As the place pays $4,000 year and
does not require the entire time of the
occupant, it is regarded as one of the
most comfortable berths on the Hill.
Considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed that the executive depart
ment has not been swarming with
candidates.
