city charter will remain in the fight
up to election day with Mayor George

Nathaniel Taylor refusing to quit Ow-

brought to bear in some quarters upon
Mayor Hibbard to withdraw from the
contest the last hour for dropping out

Former State Senator Thomas F.
Curley late today filed a protest with
the election board against their de-

city council, because he had not filed
the requisite number of valid sigma

candidates.
An enthusiastic crowd. requiring two

the charges against him had not been

Everyone in the audience had been pro-

Boston, Dec 2S.-The wreck of the
five-nasted schooner Davis Palmer
was located today just outside of
Devils Back buoy, north Of Commits
sioner'S ledge, at the entrance of
Broad sound, Boston harbor. The big
vessel lies submerged, but the mast
heads project from the water 1t is
thought that the Palmer touched a
shoai spot, early Sunday morning, the
seas during the terrific storm sweeping
the decks clear and carrying the crew
of - men to their deaths
The Palmer was bound from Newport
News for this city with a cargo Of coal
and carried a crew of II men. The
hull of the big vessel was first sighted
by Captain Frank Brown of the steam
err Belfast at o'clock this morning.
The Belfast's searchlight was in opera
ton at the time and when the steamer
was within two boat lengths, Capt
Brown observed the topmastS. 1t is
probable that the steamer would have
escaped collision with the wreck
even had she not carried searchlight.
The Palmer lies in the channel, and

Eleven stores, a bank, the only hotel
in town and one lodge hall burned fiat,
a property loss of nearly $4,000 with
only $4,000 insurance and the business
section of the town for the most part
in ashes, tells part of the story of the
big fire today in a few words.
Other occupants of the above slight
ly damaged blocks had slight losses
from smoke and water
1t is understood tonight that the sus-

growing stronger and that the town

As to Crew Of Wrecked Sch. Pa|mer--Weck
Located -Another Wreck Seen in Boston
Outer Harbor--SCh. Ada Damon Lost,

there was no sign of wreckage. The
vessel is a very serious menace to nav

the three-masted schooner reported
seen three miles to the northeast.
Probably the last person to see the
Palmer before she sank was Capt.
Sookamp of the barge Hopatcong.
which locked at Lynn today from Ho-
boken. He reported passing the Palmer
a mile and a half off Cape Cod, late
Christmas afternoon. AT that time the
Palmer's crew was on deck. singing
and celebrating the holiday in true sea
fashion.
