Chesapeake Bay to Cape Cod-50O
miles-a dragnet of ships was cast, and
to and fro a lacework of wireless mes

after her disappearance, hope of find
ing trace of the gallant little craft and
her men under Chief Boatswain John
S. Croghan faded, and it was generally
believed that she had gone to the bot
tom with her crew of ID men. This
morning it was announced at the
Brooklyn navy yard that no word of

ports came from other stations.
Nine government vessels today
secured the seas in the hunt. and a

In fact, in many quarters Wolgast is

that the turning point will come soon

are also figuring on Wolgast's show

Los Angeles several months ago. in
which he clearly outclassed the light
weight champion in point of ring sci
ence.
It was this affair which convinced
Wolgast that he could defeat Nelson in

EASTERN TRADE BODIES FILE
BRIEF OF OBJECTIONS WITH
COMMITTEES.
TO HEAR EQUITY SOCIETY
Representative Gronna Upholds His
Bill and Says Farmers Have Been
Imposed on-No- Action
This Session.

Washington, May 23.-Eastern trade
bodies, represented by the Commercial
Exchange of Philadelphia, filed with
the house committee on interstate
commerce a brief of objections to the
Gronna bill providing for a federal bu-
real for the inspection and grading of
grain.
Representative Gronna defended his
DILL. He asked for additional hearings
that the Equity Society of North Da-
kota may be represented and present
its arguments in favor of the bill. The
hearings will be had, but it is not
probable any action will be had on the
bill at this session.
The brief sets up these objections to
the bill:
1t provides for something that is I'M
necessary, the work now being per-
formed by state inspectors and boards
of trade. 1t authorizes a compensation
for a bureau chief and chief inspector
that would not compensate competent
men. Grain experts require more than
three years experience in inspecting,
grading and buying grain. Fees col
lected would be too small in the aggre-
gate in many cases to pay salaries Of
competent inspectors and their depu-
ties. Grain should be inspected when
loaded Or as loaded. There should be
no authority in any one to waive in
Bpection of any consignments Of grain.
Large dealers could evade the law by
building or renting private warehouses
or by storing grain in special bins in
public warehouses. The fee charged
would overtax the trade, and some
markets would not be self-sustaining.
Too great discretion is lodged in the
secretary of agriculture.
Representative Gronna defended the
bill, contending there should be uni
formity in grading and inspection, and
that h grain growers were now be-
Ing imposed on. He charged that
wheat purchased as No. 2 grade was
often exported as No. 1 wheat, the
farmer losing the difference in price
etween the grades.

HAS $4,000 SECURED.
Wesley College Secures Endowment Of
$15O,OOO.

@ioU,UUU.
Grand Forks, N. D., May 23.-Presi.
dent E. P. Robertson Of Wesley college
has received word from James J.. Hill
chairman Of the Great Northern. tina
his offer of $4,000 conditioned on the
raising Of the remaining 1925, 900 of a
$4,000 endowment fund still held good
and the check for the amount would
be forthcoming at once. There was
$4,000 more of the entire fund Of $780,
900 that was conditioned on the secur-
Ing Of the Hill offer and naturally there
is considerable rejoicing in the ranks
of Wesley college, for the acquisition OF
this endowment fund means that the
Methodist institution has been placed
on a firm financial footing for all time

DR.. Robertson secured the promise
from Mr.. Hill some time ago and the
limit expired before the required
amount had been subscribed. An ex-
tension was secured from Mr.. Hill, but
this also expired before the amour
was secured. There has therefore
been a little uncertainty as to the at
titude Mr.. Hill would take in the mat
ter, and his g~enerousness in overlook
ing time limits means more for Wesley
college than can readily be imagined

$50, 600 conditional on the Hill offe,

Great credit is due to Mr.. Robertson
for the untiring efforts he has put
forth to secure this endowment fund

Mr.. Hamilton is chairman Of the ter

speech is likely to figure conspicu-

to facilitate the fraudulent weighing
a cloth bag with pieces Of lead inside
