ALL HOPE ABANDONED
OF Finding Any Of the Pluviose's Grew
Of q Alive.

Calais, France. May 27.-The French
submarine Pluviose, which was struck
and sunk by the cross channel steamer
Pas De Calais yesterday was again
found tonight after having been driven
from her mud moorings at the bottom
of the English channel and carried
hither and thither by the swift lower
currents
Tonight various craft are moored
above the spot where lies the wounded
plunger with her dead company of q
men. sending down divers in an en-
deavor to fasten chains about the
wreck so that it may be raised to the
surface.
That the officers and men of the
Pluviose all persisted is the belief Of the
naval officers who are assisting in the
wrecking operations. There is an
abundance of naphtha on the surface
of the water and this leads them to
the belief that the inner shell of the
submarine was shattered and all the
crew drowned. The report that divers
heard rappings last night from the in
side of the submarine is now discredit-
ed

THE MILK PROB
Investigating Committee Reports, But
Effect is Yet to Be Seen.

Boston, May 27.-The special joint
legislative committee investigating the
milk problem rendered it's reports late
tonight, there being two minority re-
ports besides the majority report.
The majority report finds that the
firms of d. Whiting & Sons, H. P. Hood
& Sons and the Boston Dairy Co., are
active competitors in the marketing OF
milk and upon the evidence submitted
it appears THE present retail prices
charged by the contractors for milk
are sufficient to afford them a fair
profit"
The majority report makes three dis
tinct recomme ndations: That the rail-
roads should own, control, operate and
man cars for the transportation of milk
as common carriers, putting into effect
the "Open car" system; that the Board
of Railroad Commissioners should have
full authority to recommend with refer
ence to the subject of milk transporta-
ton as to both rates and service, and
finally that the work of inspection should
be done by some central authority. The
use of trolley cars for the transportation
of milk is also recommended.
Senator Tinkham in his minority re-
port declares he is of the opinion there
is a lack of efficient inspection OF milk,
either at the farm or in Boston and
wants legislation for the protection OF
the consumer, asking that an adequate
permit system be Immediately made
mandatory at least in Boston.
Senator Meany dissents, being of the
mind that the situation demands def
mite affirmative legislation concerning
the matter of transportation of milk SO
that the producers may be relieved
from the tyranny of circumstances
which present transportation condi-
tons impose upon them.

Railroad Bill.

Washington, May 27.-A,t the last
moment before reaching the point of
voting upon the railroad bill today the
Senate took the important step of add
ing an amendment, placing interstate
telegraph and telephone lines under
the supervision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission This action was
followed by an effort to restore a por-
ton of Section IL. affecting mergers,
winch heretofore was voted out. Both
provisions were introduced so sudden>
~ as TO surprise the Senate and the
latter was considered so important
that rather than vote upon it without
more consideration than it was able
to give, the Senate took an adjourn
ment until tomorrow.
The action of the Senate on telegraph
and telephone companies insures their
inclusion in some form in the proposed
law, as the subject is covered in the
House bill. The suggestion for the in
clusion of telegraph and telephone
companies within the control of the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
made by Senator Dixon of Montana,
but ultimately his amendment was
superseded by one in simpler form
which was offered by Senator La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin.
The Senate reached the voting stage
at O'Clock. after an animated debate
which was carried on largely on the
Democratic side of the chamber and
which dealt especially with the ques-
ton whether the Dolliver amendment
regulating the stock and bond issues of
railroads. was in accordance with the
last Democratic platform.
Dixon's telegraph amendment was
in the exact language of the telegraph
provision CARED blythe House bill and
1t purported to re-inact the first sec
ton of the present interstate COM
merce law, with telegraph and tele-
phone companies added. 1t covered
nine bill pages and much disapproba-
tion against voting upon it without an
opportunity for examination was ex-
pressed. Even Mr.. Dixon himself was

RAM kArAHpiN SUNK
BY Misdirected Shot from 12-inch Gun
During Armor Tests.

Washington, May 27.-The OLD ram
Katahdin. built at Bath, Me-, has been
disabled as the result of misdirected
shot from an old Pinch gun, and now
lies in shallow water off Stump neck,
about seven miles below Indian Heao.
Although the cid naval vessel was sunk
during the test firing last SATURDAY
the fact did not become known TO the
outside world until Thursday evening.
The matter is even now surrounded py
SO much secrecy and mystery that II Is
almost impossible to obtain any infor-
nation on the subject. Officials at the
navy department, even those In the
ordnance bureau, which is in charge
of the tests at Indian Head, at first
would not admit that the Katahdin had

From other sources, however, IL was
ascertained that 80 shots were nreu at

tues Triton and Tecumseh are stand

vessel.
The trials have been going on for
more than a week, the gunners being
somewhat handicapped by using II

BILE.
That was the reason that one of the
shots fired at a range of about four
miles, instead of striking the heavy
steel target that had been set up on the
side of the ship, plunged into the wa
ter lust before reaching the Katahdin
and made a hole in tn unprotected UNI
derbody.
To guard against just such an acct
dent the vessel had been placed in very
shollow water, So that before she had
sunk she was resting easily on the
mud bottom. 1t is expected that she
will be fully af1oat again within a day
or two. The trials then will be resum-
ed. There is a neat round hole in the
coming tower of the katahdin, the re-
suit of another misdirected shot; but
as the armor protection there is only
about three inches no Importance at

The Katahdin is unique in type among
the possessions of the government. She Is
of 21S3 tons displacement, $50 feet long,
has a mean draft of Is feet, is 43 1-2 foot
beam and her speed is rated at 16 knots
per hour. She was built at, Bath, Me.
The officials of the government who
have been conducting these important
tests are Rear Admiral Mason, chief OF
the bureau of ordnance; Gen. Crozier,
chief of army ordnance; Capt. Knight,
Prof Alger, Lieut.. Commander Jackson

Linnard and Robinson.
The object of the firing has been to de-

unable to state whether the provision
was ali exact reproduction of the pres
ent law with the additions mentioned
and a number of senators protested
against putting it to a vote.
While the discussion was in progress
Senator La Toilette busted himself
with the preparation of an amendment
which was in form so simple and di-
rect that senators could have no diff
ficulty in compromising it. Dixon in
Dictated a willingness to accept this
provision in place of his own, and it
went through without even a division.
The provision, as adopted is as follows:
That telegraph and telephone compa-

the supervision and control of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, subject to
the provisions of an act to regulate COM

The exception of wireless telegraph
companies was made on the suggestion
of Senator Hepburn.

Money Had No
Value for Coleman.

Boston, May 27.-Today's session of
the trial Of william ]. Keliher, charged
with assisting Geo. w. Coleman in
misapplying the funds of the National
City Bank of Cambridge, was short
but the two hours were sufficient for
Coleman t., recite additional details of
gay life along the Great White Way"
in New York.
prices paid for entertainment by wo-
men in New York and how part of the
funds OF the depositors Swent in that
direction. The names Of half a dozen
such women were brought into the
trial and Coleman said that the bills
frequently ran to 5000 or $500 a night
and that Keliher paid most of them
The trial will be resumed Tuesday.
Subjected to merciless cross-exami-
nation by Daniel H. Coakley, one of
Keliher's attorneys, Coleman told of
escapades in New York in which wo-
men and wine were foremost and
where money was treated as value
legs commodity. Much of the money
lost at the faro game disappeared, ac-
cording to Caleman's story, at the
house 122 West 41st street, New York.
Miss Mamie Tightower was an inmate
of this house, and it was there that
Coleman first met her last fall Under
cross-examination today Coleman said
that when he left Boston just before
the condition Of the bank was discover
I'd. he took Miss Hightower with him
because he wanted her to be at her own
home at Kansas City rather than
among strangers in New York.
Coleman testified that Keliher gen.
orally paid all the bills contracted at
this house, although he admitted that
on one occasion he himself had signed
q check for $275 to pay for her enter
tainment there.
Coleman also named other houses on
West 41st street, where he and keliher
had visited. The object of this phase of
the examination was evidently
to show that the stolen funds of the
National City Bank did not all go to
Keliher, but that Coleman's prodigal
manner of living was accountable for
the banks suspension.
Coleman stated that he personally
played faro to the extent of only $780,
900, the rest of the money being lost
through Keliher.
keliher's counsel made an effort to
obtain the minutes fothe grand Jury,
but the district attorney objected and
the remainder Of the session was spent
in somewhat tedious questioning as to
what Coleman testified before tn grand
jury. Just before the close of the ses-
sion Coleman said that in the begin
ming he thought that Keliher was a
novice at faro.
