SHIP SINKS IN MIDDLE
OF WHITEFISH BAY
Hull Of Boat, Believed To BE Of Carl
gan Line, Crushed by Ice
Crew Saved.

SAULT STE MARIE, Mich, April
S0.-Captain l.. c. Boyce. OF the VOL
vim line steamer Geo. w. Peavey.
which forced a passage through the
Ice at Iroquois Point, states that he
saw steamer sinking rapidly in the
middle of Whitefish bay, abreast OF the
foot Of the Partisan island. Her hull
evidently was crushed by the Ice. The
crew OF the wrecked vessel reached
another ship safely.
Capt, Boyce was unable to make out
the name. but says Ii looked much like
Carrigan steamer. 1t was about .40t
feet long, and had red hull, with
white Lighthouses. Because thep ilol
house was amidships, 1t was thought
at first IL was Canadian boat.
The Peavey was about five miles
fro mthe sinking vessel, and men
walking on the ice were visible. When
first seen the men were about two
miles. from a steamer which Capt.
Boyce thinks was the J. II. Barlow,
and they REACHED that vessel in safety.
The steamer sank in deep water, as
none OF her spart were visible.
The Great Lakes Towing company
has sent a tug to ascertain the location
and identity of the boat If possible.
II is suggested here that the sunkeu
vessel might be Corrigan boat which
wintered at Port Arthur.

FEARED ADAMS
WOULD KILL HER
Former Victim Tells Why She Made
Vile Affidavit Attacking Morals Of
Rosa REM.

The most damaging of all the testi
mony so far produced by che prosecu
ton against John A. Adams, alias Or
Wiechers," was furnished, Thursday
afternoon. by Mrs. Kate Coohrane. ol
Brooklyn, N. r., who swore that she
had made vile deposition, blackening
the character of little Rosa REM, un
der fear of death at the hands oil
Adams IL she refused.
The very presence OF this woman on
the stand would have been sufficient
to show Adams as the reptile that he
is. Mrs. Cochrane might have been
used as an exhibit In the case.
Here was a woma nof 39 years
dressed all In sombre black, still
ccmely, but not glowing with thar
fresh, youth beauty with which Rosa
REM is blessed. Twenty-one years
ago-before little Rosa was born
this woman was Rosa REM.
Adams was then Or. Weichers," but
he was the same vulture. He betrayed
the 1S-year-old girl. She lived with
him for years. Four children were
born. Four children were born. Thurs
day she told the jury that Adams
threatened to kill her II she did not
make a vile. lying deposition to save
him from prison for betraying another
1S-ycar-old girl.
II was an eloquent tribute TO Adams
real disposition when this woman ties
tilted that she, knowing hrim for q
years, feared that he would kill her
and so, swore to the deposition. She
used the name OF Mary Williams, and
alleged that she had conducted room
Ing house in Louisville, where Rose
led an immoral life.
Prosecutor Van Zile offered in evil
dence several letters. written by
Adams. One was to Robert Colman
of Brooklyn, son of Adams and Mrs
Cochrane. IL asked him to tell hi;
mother not to let anyone pump hel
with questions, and instructed the sor
to furnish her with what money she
might need TO get away with, which
Adams would refund to the son.

WHOLESALERS WIN VICTORY
IN EXCESS BAGGAGE CASE
Supreme Court UphoIds Judge Muir
phys Ruling Approving Railway
Commissions New Schedule.

A victory for the Detroit Wholesal.
ers' association is the decision Just
rendered by the state supreme court
unfolding Judge Murphy's action in
approving of the new excess baggage
rates ordered by the state railroad
commission. The supreme court, In
an opinion written by Justice Grant
refuses the request of the Michigan
Central and other railroads for man
damus to compel Judge Murphy to
grant an injunction against the rates
being put into operation.
This means that the Michigan whole
sale houses will have to pay a great
deal less IN excess baggage charges
than formerly. The four firms which
made the complaint against the rail
road rates as inequitable, securing the
new schedule of rates thereby, are
Edison, Moore & Co.. Burnham, Stoe-
pei a. Co.; Crowley Bros. and A. Kro
lik & Co. Several hearings were held
here by the commission, at which II
was shown that the system OF the
Michigap roads with regard to mini.
mum charges made the excess baggage
rates very high and gave an advan.
tage to wholesalers in other states,
whose agents make only the big towns
as against Michigan firms whose men
have to make many stops at short in.
