80 PERSONS LOST
WHEN FERRY SINKS

LUUINGTON, Mich-Thirty lives
were lost when Pere Marquette ferry
No. Is, bound from Ludington to Mil
waukee, went to the bottom of Lake
Michigan.
The disaster was one of the worst
in the history of navigation on Lake
Michigan. The car ferry Pere Mar.
quette No. IS, was the flagship of a
fleet of six steel car ferries owned
and operated by the Pere Marquette
Railroad Company.
The boat was valued at $500, 900,
and the cargo, which included 20 load
ed cars, at 100000 to $4,000. The
total loss will exceed 100000, which
is fully covered by insurance.
The cause of the disaster is a mys-
terry. Among the survivors the conclu-
sion seems to be that the car ferry's
after water compartment filed
through an oper or broken headlight,
which was followed at the last min
ute by bursting of bulkheads.

TURN DOWN STATE
CONSERvAT|ON|STS

ST. PAUL.-Far Western delegates
to the National Conservation Congress
aver that they were not only barred
from the programme and discussions,
but also buncoed in the resolutions OF
the congress. They say that the COM
mittee on resolutions promised a
clause treating of conservation within
strict constitutional limitations and
that the clause was included in Chair
man Pardee's reading OF the resolu-
tons, but that it was omitted from
the published draft
State conservation champions OF
Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana,
Wyoming, California, Colorado and
other states are indignant at what
they term bunco game and say it is a
sample Of the whole programme of
knock-down-and-drag-out.
Throughout the congress Pinchot
foes OF state conservation were on
guard to sQuelch every attempt Of the
Western champions of home conserva-
ton to defend the needs of the people
of their pent-up Western states. The
congress was ruled by an iron hand,
which made things go just as Pinchot
partisans wanted them. Governor
Hay, of Washington, said that he will
probably call a Western conservation
congress OF governors and delegates

ALASKA GOLD VALUED
At $500 STOLEN
Lead Pigs Are Substituted tor
lngots While in Transit
to Seattle.

SEATTLE.-Gold bullion valued al
$57 500, part of shipment of $470,0oo
from the Washington-Alaska Bank OF
Fairbanks, Alaska, to the Dexter-Hor'
ton National Bank Of Seattle, on the
steamship Humboldt, was stolen IN
transit and lead substituted In the
strong box that had contained the
bullion
The gold when it left Fairbanks
on a Yukon River steamer for Daw-
son and White Horse was contained
in three wooden boxes and was in the
care of the Alaska-Pacific Express
Company. When the boxes were
opened by the Canadian customs OIL
Gals at Dawson the gold bars were
found to be as stated in the express
company's papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay Office in Seattle,
and one contained pigs of lead. not OF
gold. The seals of the box were in
tact when it reached the office, and
it was evident that the robbery had
been committed by removing one
end of the box The gold was in
sured against loss by the express
company.
1t is supposed that the gold was
stolen on the Yukon steamer between
Dawson and White Horse, or on the
steamer Humboldt between Skagway
and Seattle. There would have been
small opportunity for robbery in the
essay office or in the short railroad
run from White Horse to Skagway.
The gold weighed $50 pounds, and the
disposal of such heavy plumber must
have required time and preparation.
The gold was in the purser's cabin
and it Is not customary on the gold
ships to take elaborate precaution
against robbery.
Detectives working on the case have
made no arrests, and say they have
no clew on which to work.
