They then headed for Sandusky in the
Parsons. which was due there at six
o'clock In the evening.
While all this was occurring on Lake
Erie, Cole was in Sandusky with his
plans designed for the party that
would call practically all the officers
on the Michigan and on Johnson is
land well away from their posts OF
duty. They were supposed to start
on the merry-making jaunt from San
dusky in the afternoon. Cole and
young Wilson waited for the tardy
guests, and finally Cole, becoming i'm
patient, said to his companion:
Its strange that these officers
haven't come ashore before this. You
go off and see what's keeping them"
Wilson shook his head, obviously.
"They wouldn't be likely to come for
me-" he said. You had better take a
boat and go yourself"
Cole, who usually dressed in dark
attire, was wearing a suit of gray He
discussed the matter of going over for
the officers with Wilson, who walked
down TO the dock with MIN, and said:
Here's boat belonging to the
Michigan, now. Go off in her and get
your men, and I'll go with YOU"
Cole, following out his usual extrav-
agant methods, handed a ten-dollar
bill to the coxswain of the crew and
told him to take the boys to the near
est bar for a drink. All went except
the boat-keeper, who waited with Cole
and Wilson, and James Hunter. an Of
ficer of the Michigan, who was ashore.
When the crew returned they willing
ly pulled off to the Michigan, lying
three miles of Sandusky. About half
way out, Cole, who seemed to have a
presentiment of trouble, changed his
mind about going to the ship and re-
quested the crew to turn back.

Cole posed at Sandusky as an

rival an assistant joined Cole, who be-
came known as G.. G. Beal.. One week
after Cole arrived at the West house
young man registered there as John
U. Wilson Of New Orleans. He was
none other than Murray, who had
taken this means OF scraping an &C
quaintance with his quarry. In the
course of a few days Wilson met Cole
casually, as guests staying at the
same hotel are apt to meet, and they
drank together and became quite in

finally chartered yacht. Incidentally

of Sandusky. He invited all the off,

SHIP GOES DOWN

News Of Destruction Of Steamer
ID Recent Storm on Lakes
Received at Duluth.
wRtCkAGf STRfWs The lAkf

Duluth. Mimi. May 9.-News Of the
destruction Of the steamer Shores Oh
Whitefish Point, in Lake Superior,
was brought to Duluth last night by
the crew Of the steamer Northland,
who say that as the latter was pass
ing that point on the way up they dis
covered wreckage strewn all over the
lake. and in their opinion 1t belonged
to the Shores. The fact that she was
a week overdue at Duluth and no
word Of her has been received adds
color to the theory.
The Adelia Shores belonged to the
Manx Transportation company of
Cleveland. and is said to have been
bound from Michigan with load Of
salt. Rumor says that her passen-
gers and crew numbered twen;y-one.
but this cannot be- verified. The ship
was Of 1850 tons burden and under
command Of Capt. 8. Holmes. The
engineer is r. s. Mott. The names
Of the crew and passengers are not
obtainable at this point.
Worst Gale In Years.
The gale in which the ship founder
ed last week. and in which also the
Aurania, the Russia and the Nest0r
went down. was one OF the fiercest In
the history OF Lake Superior for this
season of the year. The wind at times
gainedsa velocity of seventy miles an
hour. This. together with the fact
that violent snow storm prevailed
for three days. made navigation ex-
tremely perilous for ships that We're
caught away from land and in the
trough of the sea.
On April 30. Capt. Holmes reported
his vessel passing safely through the
500 canal, and since that time no
word has been received from him.

Decision in Duluth Board Of

Can FIX PRICES FOR SERVICE
Minnesota Sspre0e cosrt Rules That

valse Is Legal.

st. Paul. May "A victory for the
Duluth board Of trade in a decision
announced by the supreme court yes
terday Is accompanied by victory for
union labor and for all organizations

service and do not control prices Of
commodities. The decision. in which
the court afBrms the decision OF the
st. Louis county district court In the
case in which the state sought to an
null the charter OF the Duluth board OF
trade, Is one Of the most sweeping de-
cisions of recent years.
The suit was started for the state
by former Attorney General e. T.
Young. after t3e Minnesota Farmers
exchange had hSd trouble in getting
its grain sold in Duluth. II was only
a question OF law. 1t being established
that the board Of trade had a fixed
rate of commissions which members
should charge non-members for SELL
ing their grain.
Decision 10 Far-reaching.
Whichever way the court decided
the decision would have far-reaching
consequences. II the justices had held
that this rule of the board was in vio-
lation of the antitrust laws, 1t would
have compelled revolutionary
change in the methods OF doing bust
ness at the Duluth board OF trade. the
Minneapolis chamber Of commerce
and similar institutions. But the
court took the only way out Of 1t and
held that the statute does not apply
to an organization which attempts to
fix the charges for personal services.
but only to one which attempts to
control prices OF commodities. As the
charges on the change
were only charges for personal serv-
ices. this allowed the board to go on,
but at the same time the court had
a thing that the labor
unions have long been contending for.
