TO INVESTIGATE WRECK

Sudbury, Ont. January a5.-Coroner
HOWE, of Sudbury, to-day began an
inquest into Fridays wreck OF a Cana
dian Pacific passenger train at Span
ish River. This action is taken de-
spite the fact that a jury impanelea
by Coroner Jones, OF webbwood, has
already returned a perfunctory YER
diet stating that the cause of the acct
dent was unknown. Jones Is en-
ploycd by the railroad company. and
1t is therefore alleged that he was
not qualified to act. The crown attor-
ney of the Sudbury district will also
take hand in the Investigation.
Another line OF inquiry has been
started by the Board of Railway Com.
missioners. That the railroad officials
expect to find more bodies in the river
Is indicated by the shipment from here
to-day to Spanish River of fresh
supply of rough boxes.
The record OF death now stands at
thirty-pine, including o. S. Martin, of
Waterloo, Ont. and DR.. Allen McClel-
Ian, OF Sudbury. whose bodies have
not been found. Their effects were
found in the wrcckage at the bottom
of the river.

Held in Cold storage,


New York January 25.--While house
wives are being driven by the high
prices to boycott meat here Is what
the Ice and Refrigerator Blue Book
says is being held In cold storage:
Fourteen million cattle.
SIX million calves.
Twenty-Five million sheep and lambs.
Fifty million hogs.
According to these figures from the
official guide book circulated only
among the cold storage men. there is
In storage one entire animal for encl
adult in the United States. with enough
whole animals left over to give two
to each family.
This meat is being held in s5s cold
storage plants. In addition 1t may In
terest the worried housekeeper to
know that In seventy-eight fish frecz-
Ing plants in the country there are FISH
waiting to be doled out that are valued
at s25,o00,ooo.
In other cold storage plants during
any year now. according 10 the storage
mems own statistics, the struggling
wage-earner will find
One billion eight hundred million
eggs.
One hundred and thirty million
pounds Of poultry.
Fruits valued at $50, 100000.
Then, besides. there are millions of
pounds of potatoes. onions, thousands
OF turtles, eels, cases OF canned goods,
and milk, butter and cheese valued at
S100,000.000.
Billions In Food In Storage.
The total value of meat and food
stuffs placed In cold storage during a
year at present is. according to the
figures OF the storage concerns. close
to s3.oo0.00o.coo.
These cold storage figures do not In
clude the tremendous value of liquors
In storage at breweries. disttlleries
and private places, the value OF furs in
storage, nor the value OF food sup
plies in cold storage at private plants.
All these foodstuffs arc hustled in
