CHRISTMAS BOAT
 WITH I6 MEN AND
 ONE WOMAN LOST

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Reports from the revenue cutter Tuscarara, near Mil waukee, today, showed that the Rouse Simmons, Chicagos Christmas boat. which is two weeks overdue from Manistique, Mich, had not been found. The lack of news from the boat, which was coming here laden with Christmas trees, today, strength ened the belief that she had plunged to the bottom of Lake Michigan, with 16 men and one woman on board. The shores on the Wisconsin and Michigan sides of the lake were being today.
 Hogan Hoganson, member of the crew. who left the ship at Manistique, when the homeward voyage was started said the reason he did not remain with Captain Herman Schueie- man was that the rats deserted the vessel.
 You know. it's an old saying that rats desert a doomed ship" said Hoganson. He added that he was afraid something would happen to the boat because of the enormous load >ot Christmas trees that was piled on the decks. He said that the Sinmo mons carried no Hfeboats.
