MESSAGE IN BOTTLE
MAY Be LAST PLEA
ROsALINE ROCKAYN, OF DEN
YER, DRUGGED IN SAN FRAN
CISCO AND PUT UPON UN-
KNOWN SHIP.
.By Associated PrssaD


OAKLAND, Cal, April 15.-After drift
ing for weeks in the Pacific ocean, a
message purporting to tell of the plight
of Rosaline Rockayn, a Denver girl, VINO
came to this city last month and was
drugged and carried out to sea by man
who had offered her his services as guide
to a boarding house, was washed up on
the water front yesterday. the paper
was contained in bottle which the girl
threw from the cabin port hole of her
prison ship, trusting that her appeal
would reach someone who would inform
her relatives and bring about her re-
lease.
A Cry for Help
The message is headed:
Pacific ocean, March IS, 1909"
1t begins, 1T cast this bottle overheard
with the hope that it will be found. L
arrived from the east Thursday and be-
ing a stranger to San Francisco did not
know where to find the main part of the
city. A gentleman, as 1 supposed at that
time, met me on the water front and
asked me If I were looking for some
one"
Continuing, the message tells of kind
housed, his success in persuading her to
come aboard a ship to wait until he
should be at liberty to go with her, OF
drugged wine and deep sleep rom which
she awoke to find herself q prisoner
aboard the vessel far out at sea. The last
paragraph reads:
Notify My Brother"
'Tf you can read this please notify my
brother and tell him that Rosaline wants
him to try to find her. 1 don't know the
name Of the ship. He is coming back. 1
wish 1 could jump overheard and it would
all be over. Please write to Ned Rockayn.
Denver. Col. This ship is rolling and 1
am sick.
(Signed) "ROSALINE ROCKAYN."
The writing OF the message is that of
a woman and II was evidently written
by a person laboring under great ex-
element. There is no mark on the bottle
or paper that would serve to identify the
ship, but every effort to determine the
name OF the vessel is being maze as the
police are convinced that the pathetic
cry from the sea is not a hoax. An
effort to locate the family is being made
by the Denver police.

WHEAT BULLS GIVEN
SOLAR PLEXUS B|FF
PRICES TOOK A TUMBLE AS RE-
SUIT OF SETBACK ADMINS
TERED ON BOARD OF TRADE.
PATTEN BUYS 100000 Blu.


CHICAGO, April 15.-Wheat bulls re-
ceived a setback today on the board of
trade when prices toppled precipitately.
July tumbled an extreme 4 S-S; May,
lac, and September, 1-sc. Patten
bought furiously all along the line and
the close showed a reaction averaging
something over a cent.
The market was nervous all day. Fa-
vorable reports from Illinois and Missou-
II as to the growing crop led to steady
selling of September which was further
encouraged by a five-cent drop at Win
nipeg, where it was reported exporters
were re-selling wheat purchased for the
European market. The northwestern
markets were weak all day.
Prices here, however, with the excep-
ton of September, held up till near the
close. May and July both established
new high records, thus maintaining their
records of having risen consistently to a
new high level each trading day for a
-
May on a very nervous market rose to
1929 IA and July to $1.1s 7-S. September
lost the break, for, after selling at
$1.OS rs, the bear forces made a terrific
smash at the price and forced it back to
S1.06 1-443-S. May dropped to $1.26, a half
cent at a time, and July receded to
$1.14 1-2.
Patten To the Rescue
Out into the corridor of the Western
Union buildinf, wherein are situated the
office of James A. Pteeen, the leading
bull trader, the sound of a high pitched
voice talking into q telephone could be
heard:
Buy a hundred July. Buy two hnu-
dred May. Take a thousand September. I"
In the vernacular of the trade, hun
dreds" mean hundreds of thousands.
A small crowd, hearing the voice. gath
cred.
'Patten's supporting it. He's trying to
check the slump" ran the comment.
Buy! Buy! Buy!
over in the turbulent pit the high
voice at the telephone was reflected
Prices halted-stopped-and then re-
bounded. But the loss was anything but
completely recovered, despite the voice
crying, buy, buy, buy!"
May at the close sold at $1.27 1-2%5-s;
July at s115 $685., and September. at
$1.06 IA. These prices showed a net loss
for July and 2 LABS cents for Septem-
Der.
Mr.. Patten states that his position as
to crop and market conditions had not
changed since his interview with The
Associated Press yesterday, in which he
Justified higher prices by the law OF
supply and demand.

Natures in Jesus Christ"
Speaking upon the theme OF "The

ton of the Trinity Rev. Carver said
In part:
Much OF every religion deals with
great mysteries. The reason is plain
for so much OF life is a mystery, and
then before all lies the great mystery
of death. that any religion which
leaves all this untouched does not hold
and win the hearts of men. A religion
without mystery would leave unan>

needs and therefore would not satisfy.
But what is the meaning OF this word
mystery? Paul uses II TO designate
those great truths which lie partly
within and partly beyond the limits of
human knowledge and experience We
today honor him for his truth So
much of the mystery OF religion Is due
to our knowing only the temporal and
earthly, while religion has 10 do with
the spiritual and eternal also.
