LAKE MICHIGAN WRECK
WILL REMAIN MYSTERY
Railroad Official Says Sinking of
Ferry Boat Not Due TO
Storm or Overload

LUDINGTON, Mich, Sept 10.-That
Yesterdays wreck of Pere Marquette
car ferry No. IS and the loss of TWEEN
| ty-nine lives was not due to a storm,
to overlooking, or to a breakdown in
the vessels machinery and that the
real cause of the disaster will never
be fully determined, is the conclusion
reached by Gen. Supt. w. D. Trump
of the Pere Marquette railroad who
came here yesterday to investigate the
wreck.
According to the report sent by Mr.
Trump to Pere Marquette headquar-
ters in Detroit today, Captain Russell
of ferry No. II was merely asked by
Captain Kitty of No. IS, to stand by
when he arrived at the scene, Captain
Kitty evidently not believing his vessel
was in immediate danger.
Captain Russell, however, observed
that No. IS was sinking and lowered
his life boats just before No. Is went
to the bottom.
According to Mr.. Trump there were
sixty-two people on board No IS. The
sixteen above the regular crew We're
four employees of the Chicago Naviga-
tion company with Seymour e. Coch-
rane, vice president of the company
/
layers, etc.. who were working while
the boat was moving, in order to save
time. Mr.. Cochrane was saved but his
four employees were lost
The first intimation those on board
No. IS had that anything was wrong
was when the wheelsman, about a.
m, found that the vessel was not re-
spending quickly. The compartment
of the engine room was then found to
contain a considerable amount of wa
ter. though not enough to disturb the
f1remen and deck hands sleeping there.
Distress signals were given as the YES
sci continued to sink and the life
boats on the port side were lowered,
but not cut away from the ship, Cap
tain Kitty continuing to head the
steamer for the west shore of Lake
Michigan.
All of the survivors jumped or were
thrown from the boat when she sank
and were picked up by boats from
steamer No. II.

BALDWIN FLIES UNDER
MISSISSIPPI BRIDGES
Aviator Narrowly Misses CoIIid-
ing with Ferry Boat

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10.-Capt. Thomas
S. Baldwin made a fourteen mile fight
in his aeroplane over the Mississippi
river here late this afternoon in nine
teen minutes. He crossed over three
and flew under two bridges while in
the air. Including the time he was
on the ground between the fights it
was thirty-six minutes from the time
he started until he landed on the avia-
ton grounds.
Before starting on the river fight
he made two preliminary flights of
three minutes each. Then he started
toward the river and Immediately went
over the bridge near the field and con-
tinued down the river. Going up into
the air $50 feet, he crossed the inter-
urban bridge. and later the Eads
bridge, on which $4,000 persons we're
standing He continued down the river
and landed in Illinois, seven miles
below his starting point. He made the
trip in ten minutes.
On the upward flight he went under
the Eads bridge and narrowly missed
a ferryboat as he emerged from a
smoke cloud Before he left the river
channel he flew under the interurban
bridge and landed on the same spot
from which he started.
Part of the time the aviator was lost
in the smoke clouds. He held his ma
chine at all times at right angles to
a thirteen-mile wind.
Baldwin will make field flights here
tomorrow and Monday.

TRAIL MAN CHARGED
WITH MURDER OF WIFE
BIoodhounds Follow Scent of the
Suspect to Where He
Boards Train

BELLINGHAM, WASH, Sept. 10.-A
man believed to be George Reid, want
ed for the murder of his 25-year-old
wife at Clayburn, B. c., last Tuesday,
was seen Thursday night at o'clock
to board a freight train at Wicker
sham, twelve miles southeast of Bell
ingham, bound for Seattle.
Bloodhounds followed the trail to a
little house opposite a shingle mill, four
miles south of Wickersham. A woman
there says a man answering Reid's de-
scription came there Thursday and
asked for food. He had on a dark hat
dark trousers and q gray coat, and
wore a vest of peculiar pattern.
When shown the trousers left behind
at Clayburn by Reid the woman iden-
titled them as of the same cloth and
pattern as the coat worn by the man.
When the Northern Pacific freight
train arrived the woman, who had been
watching the man through fear, saw
him swing aboard the train, she says.
Bloodhounds given the scent Of Reid's
nightshirt and then placed on the trail
repeatedly followed it to the exact place
beside the Northern Pacific where the
woman saw the man board the train.

COMPTROLLER TO
PROBE EXAMINERS
Murray VIII Make Examination
in Each of the National
Bank Districts
WANTS CONDITIONS CORRECT
Points Out Weakness in Excuses
Made After Failures
Are Announced
WANTS CONDITIONS CORRECT
Associated Pregsl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-Close on
the heels of the radical shakeup in the
ranks of the bank examiners, by which
twenty men were shifted Thursday to
new fields, Comptroller of the Curren-
cy Murray announced today that he
would make a personal investigation
of conditions in all examination dis
tricts. The comptroller in statement
addressed to examiners said:
'In almost every case of a national
bank failure, since l have been comp
troller, the insolvency could nave been
averted had the national bank examln-
ers determined the true condition and
reported his findings in time for me to
force a correction in the administra-
tions of the banks affairs"
Condemning the excuses made by the
bank examiners, Mr.. Murray said he
had been compelled to undertake a
personal examination of the conditions
in every district so as to ascertain at
first hand why an examiner was I'M
able to discover impending disaster in
the affairs of a bank. He will be ac-
connpanied and assisted on the trip by
Oscar l.. Telling, formerly a national
bank examiner and now chief of the
division of reports in the comptroller s
Office. After citing that examiners OF
failed banks had offered excuses that
they had been unable to learn in ad-
vance of a banks true condition, that
officers and directors of banks would
not correct conditions brought to their
attention or to any one Of another
dozen reasons, Mr.. Murray in his state
ment says:
1.-THE comptroller also desires to as
certain why some examiners are capa-
BILE of correcting, while they are in
the bank all the conditions subject
to criticism, when other examiners are
either unable or unwilling to accom-
plish a like result and only report
their criticisms to the comptroller's Of
flee.
MANY of the examiners say in their
reports of examinations forwarded to
the comptrollers office that it is
hardship not only on the examiners,
but on many of the directors of coun-
try banks to ask the various boards
to meet the examiner during the prog
ress or at the close of the examina-
tion.
1.-THE comptroller is of the opinion
that a board of directors which will
not or cannot meet with a representa-
tive of the government for short
time twice each year to go over in de-
tail the conditions which he finds and
reports to it is composed of members
who are not doing their duty in any
sense of the word, and it is now pro-
posed to find out whether the hard
ships complained of by the examiners
really exist

CHICO YOUTH FLIES IN
HOMEMADE AEROPLANE
Successful Flights Made by 16-
Year-0ld Boy

CHICO, Cal, Sept. 1O.-Success has
finally crowned the efforts of Thaddeus
Kerns, the sixteen-year-old Chico
youth, who has been trying to make
flights for sometime past in a home
made aeroplane.
Yesterday afternoon he encircled the
mile race track twice, at a distance
of from 10 to Is feet above the ground.
He repeated this experiment later, and
left the ground for three or four short
flights. He met with a slight accident
when alighting the last time. His
rudder struck hard against the track
and was broken. The damage can be
easily repaired.
The aeroplane was built by the boy
without any outside assistance. Every
thing about it, with the exception of
the engine, is the work of his own
hands. The machine is built along the
lines of the Curtiss model. The en-
gine was purchased for him by his
father.
