Terrific Gale on ChampIain.

After battling with three days gale
on Lake Champlain the little tug De-
fender and tow of 80 barges came to
grief Monday. One barge, with its
cargo totally destroyed, is wrecked off
Colchester Reef, two others lie on the
bottom of the lake near the long Rut-
land railroad fill on Grand Isle. The
others are still ahoat a short distance
away but in danger of sinking at any
moment and the remainder are lying
safe in port OF Ports Kent and Douglas
where they were taken by the combined
efforts of three tugs.
The barge destroyed is the Golden
Rule and the other two under water
are lumber boats belonging to Herbert
Tyler and Louis Benham.
The tow set out from Rouses Point
few days ago bound for New York.
A terrific wind has prevailed over the
lake since Friday night and today
reached velocity of so miles an hour.
The tow should have reached the
canal at the lower end of the lake be-
fore it closed for the season and where
it was to reach the larger tug, Rob-
ert H. Cook off Cumberland Head. AS
the boats reached Providence island a
stiff gale was encountered and Capt.
Bridge in command of the Defender
decided to put into the lee of the island
for shelter.
The boats lay dashed together only
about an hour when they broke away
and We're tossed about in the rough sea
at the will of the waves. In the mean
time the Robert Cook had reached them
and message to Rouses Point brought
the tug Protector to the scene. The
Robert Cook broke propeller and was
towed into this port by the Protector
after great difficulty.
| The damage done to the tow and
tugs is estimated at about $40, 600 al
of which is believed to be covered by
insurance.

Money In EIections.

Although the people are awakening
to the evil of using money in elections,
it is not yet fully convinced that con-
ditions are wrong, scandalously wrong,
when a hundred thousand dollars is
spent in gaining an election to the
United States Senate. The recent
legislation along this line is excellent,
but it lacks the rigidity of the English
statues, which not only limit the amount
which may be spent, but explicitly de-
fine the way in which it may be used.
We have made good beginning toward
honest elections, however, and we may
confidently look forward to the time
when anything and everything that
would influence the voter, except the
merit of the candidate, shall be success
fully prohibited. Mirror .and Farmer.

HELD FOR AUTO FATALITY
James Hosfell Said to Own Car
That Killed Mrs. Kittredge.

Chief Swain of Wilmington arrested
James Hosfell of Lowell Sunday night,
charged with having caused the death
of Mrs. Ruth Kittredge, the 75-year-old
Tewksbury woman, who was struck by
an automobile Saturday night in Will
mington and died yesterday morning.
The chief declared that Hosfell was the
owner of the car. He was admitted to
bail in $4,000 at Lowell, and will appear
in the Woburn court this moroing.
The other two occupants of the car
were known, Chief Swain declared, but
he would not give their names.
In his seven-passenger automobile,
Hosfel has been seen frequently in
eastern Massachusetts. He is a collec-
tor for a Lowell contracting firm. He
figured in an automobile accident in
Woburn few months ago, when his car
swung round curve and struck buggy
containing Charles Cummings of Wo-
burn and his bride. Hosfell was arrest
ed, but the case was dismissed.
Chief Swain said that he had obtained
from Albert H. Zepp, who was with
Mrs. Kittredge, the number of the car
whice struck her. Boston Herald, Nov.

MAY USE CANAL IN 1918.
Panama Waterway Will Be Open
to Vessels Ahead of Time.

New Orleans, Nov. 14-Vessels will
be allowed to pass through the Panama
Canal before the official date of the
opening of the canal, which has been
set for January l, 1915. This informa-
ton is contained in a letter received to-
day by L. E. Bentley, chairman of the
Progressive Unions committee on i'm
migration, steamship and mail service,
from Major F. c. Boggs. of the United
States corps of engineer at Washing
ton. Major Boggs says:
l am directed by the Secretary of
War to inform you that, while the
official date of the opening of the canal
has been set for January /, 1915, it is
the intention to allow vessels to utilize
the canal just as soon as practicable.
Present indications seem to bear out the
opinion previously expressed by the
chairman and chief engineer of the
Isthmian Canal Commission, that this
can be accomplished during the latter
half of 1913, although it is too far in
advance at this time to fix any definite
date. Shipping interests will, however,
be advised as soon as the commission
feels assured that vessels can be passed
without unnecessary delay. New

LEFT LYING IN THE SNOW.
Body Found on Pile of Steel Cir
ders In Bronx Street.

Detectives of the Alexander Avenue
Station in the Bronx are searching for
an autoist who they believe struck and
killed six-year-old Howard Mangold of
254 East 18th Street, last night, and
then putting the boy either dead or
dying, on pile of steel Orders in front
of building in course of construction
at 18th Street and Third Avenue, made
off. The boy was found on this pile of
girders, which are raised four feet from
the ground on pair of wooden horses.
His back was broken and he was dead
when DR.. Preston of Lincoln Hospital
saw him. 1t was evident that the child
could not have reached his seat on the
girders unaded.
The boy was noticed first by Nicholas
Cinelli, a conductor on the Union Rail-
road, who had stopped in the neighbor-
hood to buy new uniform and had just
left nearby store with his purchase. 1t
was showing hard and Cinelli wondered
that small boy should sit out in such a
storm at 1880 o'clock at night. He
crossed the street and shook the boy by
the shoulder, intending to arouse him if
he had fallen asleep or to give him into
the charge of policeman if he proved
to be homeless. The boys body was
limp in Cinelli's grasp, and then the
conductor noticed that the youngster's
clothes were torn and covered with
slush and mud. Cinelli called Policeman
Cannon of the Alexander Avenue Sta
ton, who went off to summon an
ambulance from Lincoln Hospital.
Nine-year-old Thomas Holiday of
ISL Third Avenue identified the body
and ran to his playmate's home. Mr..
Mangold hurried back with him and
carried his son into the house, where
DIR. Preston found him a moment
later. The surgeon said that in addi-
ton to broken back the boy had been
hurt internally. 1t seems certain that
he must have been killed instantly.
Yet the police could find no one who
had seen the boy hit by automobile,
wagon, or trolley car. There is a trolley
track within fifteen feet of where the
boy was found, but the police dismissed
the theory that car had hit the lad.
1t could not have tossed him to the
girders and no motorman could have
carried him there with a carfu of pas.

From the extent of his injuries anc
the condition of his clothes the police
decided that the boy must have beer
struck by an automobile. 1t was snow
ing hard at 1870 O'Clock when he was
found, and there We're few persons il
the streets. An auto might have STRUCK
the child, and its occupants could have
placed him on the girders and got away
unnoticed.
Mr.. Mangold told the police that the
boy had had supper and then had asked
to go out and play for awhile in tn,

so the accident must have happened
between that hour and 1880 O'Clock. -

MILK SCARCE IN PARIS
Only 100000 Quarts a Day, Whom
100000 Quarts are Needed.

For some time Paris has been suffer-
ing from scarcity of milk, which tends
to become chronic, according to the cor
respondent of The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association. The demand
for milk in Paris amounts to LOO, 900
quarts per day, and no more than 900, =
900 quarts are received.
1t is in vain that the large milk COM
panies have trebled the extent of terri
tory from which they obtain milk and
today go as far as 100 miles to obtain
what they formerly obtained at 60 miles
at the maximum.
This insufficiency of production, ]"
says the writer, 'is due to three prin-
cipal causes: The drought, which has
dried up the pastures; food-and-mouth
disease, which has decreased the herds,
and the higher prices and smaller num-
Der of the dairy employees. The situa-
ton is not alarming for the hospitals.
THE Project of Police has accord
ingly interviewed the Presidents of the
dairy companies. Measures have been
taken so that infants, sick persons and
the aged shall not feel the effect of the
price. In all the diaries a notice has
been posted requesting persons having
young children or sick persons or ole
persons in the family to indicate the
quantity of milk which is necessary fol-
them in order that it may be reserved

AN IMPOSSIBLE SCHEME.

The latest crazy scheme devised by
some rattle-hrained legislator is to

and to provide for the revoking of
these licenses when newspapers are
guilty of unethical acts. The scheme
is merely the Russian press censor
