SURVIVE STORM
sEAMEN REACH LIGHTsHlP IN
SMALL CRAFT
Name, Rig or Port of Ill Fated Vessel
Lost and from Which Men
Were Rescued Is Not
Learned
tBy Associated Press.I

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27.-Six surviv-
ors out of a crew of eighteen, are
aboard Winter Quarter lightship. the
remaining twelve men having perished,
according to a report made by Captain
Delano of the steamer Porto Rico,
which arrived here today from New
York.
The name or kind of vessel could not
be learned. 1t is believed that the lost
vessel, some members of whose crew
are now aboard the Winter Quarter
lightship, was the Norwegian steamer
Gere, Captain Myer. The steamer
cleared from Philadelphia September
23 for Sagua la Grande, Cuba.
Captain Delano stated as the Porto
Rico was passing Winter Quarter light
ship yesterday morning a signal was
seen from the lightship. A heavy north
east gale prevailed. He ordered his
ship to run close to the light station
and an attempt was made to communi-
cate by megaphones.
1t was difficult work, but enough was
learned by those on the Porto Rico to
realize that a ship had foundered. An
effort was made to learn the name of
the vessel but the answer could not be
made out.
Six Survivors Rescued
The captain OF tne nBnLsAlp sdlu thei
were six survivors from the ill-fated
ship aboard his vessel and asked that
they be taken off if possible. Captain
Delano decided it would be tempting
death to try to make the transfer un-
der the weather conditions prevailing.
Those on the lightship apparently
were satisfied to await better weather
and another passing ship.
e While the information was given that
twelve persons were lost, no attempt
was made to learn names.
Those on the Porto Rico said they
could see a small boat hanging to the
rear of the lightship. The little craft
was battered severely and 1t is be-
lieved the men saved made their way
in it to the lightship.

GEORGE WELSH IS DOING
MUCH FOR STATE LABOR.
Wages for Common Laborers Is High
Here, From So to $3.50
Per Day.

George Welsh, commissioner of the
State Board of Immigration, is
doing considerably, at present, to re-
leve the untitled demands for labor
ingmen in northern Minnesota, and
with the limited allowances given
him by the legislature is assisting
very much in generally lettering
conditions hereabouts.
Though the medium of Mr.
Weish's campaign of publicity of
conditions relative to farming lands
hereabouts and the demand for
laborers many land hungry individ-
uals and common-day laborers have
come into this section for the pur-
pose of buying land and working on
the farms and in the mills and other
manufacturing industries in this
section.
Mr.. Welsh, during the past two
years, has circulated requests among
the workmen and farming interests
of other states for people who want
to rent farms and laborers who
desire work in Minnesota, with the
result that his office is now receiving
many requests for farms to rent and
goodly number of experienced farm
hands who wait work IN this state;
and Mr.. Welsh is sending out circu-
lars giving the names of those who
want to rent farms and also those
who desire work.
There has been a dearth of COM
mon laborers In this section since
the work of gathering the hay and
grain crop commenced over in the
Red River Valley section and in the
Dakotas, and common laborers are
receiving from So to S2.5 per day
for working in the mills and on the
railroad lines.
There has been fairly healthy
demand for land from purchasers in
Wisconsin and Illinois and some ex-

Denver, Aug. 27.-Benzoate of soda,

used in manufactured food products,
was put on trial before the cOnven-

who commended that benzoate was
harmless, and some of the 200 state
food commissioners and agricultural
lists delegated to the convention. Sec
rotary of Agriculture James Wilson
was an interested spectator.

ings of the so called "Rensen board"
Which declared benZoate of soda to be
not harmful when used as preserva-
