NO HOPE FOR THE SHORES.
Probably Crushed in Ice Floes Dur.
ing Heavy Gale.

sAULT STE. MARIE. Mich, May g.
Capt. Millen of the steamer Morrell.
bound down. today brought the last word
concerning the steamer Shores, reported
missing since April %.
Capt. Millen says that TIE Shores fol-
lowed him out Of the canal here and
passed Whitefish point two miles astern
of the Morrell April 20. A strong north
east gale and heavy Ice were encountered
on Lake Superior. Capt. Millen soon lost
sight OF the Shores lights and concluded
that the latter had turned back for shell
ter. 1t now seems probable that the
Shores was crushed by the great ice
foes. which were made doubly dangerous
by the heavy seas.
All hope of there being any survivors
has been abandoned here. 1t is consid-
cred certain that the Ice and waves to-
gether would have soon wrecked any
small boats which might have been

TOXIC, May "a fire believed to have
been OF incendiary origin broke out last
night in the Commercial High School. 1t
was extinguished after an hours hard
work by firemen and troops. The dam
age was confined to the laboratory and

The students OF the school have been
petitioning the government to raise 1t to
the rank of university. Their request
has not been granted, but the minister of
education has sought to effect compro-
mise by establishing a new commercial
course In the college of law of the Uni
verstty OF Toxic. This arrangement has
been the cause of dissatisfaction among
the students OF the Commercial High
School and a committee composed OF
members OF various classes met yester-

Assistant Attorney Proctor
Tells of Case Against Davis

While he declined to go deeply into
details and refused to give the names
of any of Davis victims who had reported
to the district attorneys Office, Assistant
District Attorney Proctor. in charge of
the investigation. said:
1.-The criminal operations of John C.
Davis came to the notice of the district
attorneys ofice Friday, through a COM
plaint on the part of Miss Nellie Nc
Keown. who. by fraudulent schemes on
the part of Davis. had been swindled out
Of 5000.
"Since the announcement of Miss Nc
Keewn's claim this Office has been flooded
with complaints from many individuals,
residents of both Washington and Alex
andria. which show that a systematic
method of visionary business operations
which John C.. Davis. at times indi-
vidually. and at other times In connection
with his brother. Martin T. Davis, has
| swindled a great number of persons out
of thousands of dollars.
ut appears that the two men operated
together through the Potomac Building
and Loan Association. an object Of their
creation. evidently conceived and run
merely as an instrumentality for their
operations.
At Work for Years.
I'm one case alone $4,000 was pro-
cured from a woman. From indications
1t would appear that no less than 500, 600
had been procured by the fraudulent
operations of the Davis brothers. In
| fact. the amount they obtained may run
far above this figure.
Their swindling operations have been
running on for years. Apparently the
victims have been lulled into confidence
In the men by reason of payments to
them. supposedly as interest on their in
vestments.
The work of the district attorney SO
far has been directed toward securing
| the apprehension and arrest of the
Davises and assuring their presence be-
fore the court to answer to the charEes
against them, and also to securing, by
search warrants recovery OF money
| that may be the proceeds OF their crimes
and the evidence to prove the crime.
"It has been manifestly impossible to
learn. as yet. the details concerning the
/ individual cases which have been re-
ported. The investigation will be pushed
as rapidly as possible toward this end.
Indictments will be returned to the court
at an early date"
