VESSELS WITH ICE ABOARD.
Fleet Bringing Supply From Maine
Field to Alexandria.

The work of unloading the barge Rari-
tan. which brought ice from the Sus-
quehanna river to the Mutual Ice Com
pany at Alexandria, is in progress and
by tonight it is thought the barge will
be unloaded and ready to leave for bay
point. As the vessel was without masts
a special derrick had to be rugged up on
the ice company wharf to unload the YES
sci. which brought a cargo of about 800
tons.
Vessels to bring about 400 tons of
Maine Ice to Alexandria are under char
ter and the first Of them, Consolidation
Coal Company barge No. %. should
arrive at Alexandria early in the coming
week. The four-master schooner Maria
o. Tee' will early in the coming week
start loading Ice on the Kennebec. and
should be at Alexandria unloading by the
middle Of July. Barge Henry Endicott.
one of the large coal carriers. was in
the past week chartered to bring ice and
she will also reach the Virginia city
about the middle of July.

DR.. WALCOTT'S MISSION.
Goes to British Columbia to Study
Geology and Paleontolopy.

Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution, left Washington
Tuesday, June Is, for Field, British Co
lumbia, where he will continue his studies
in Cambrian geology and paleontology.
After leaving Washington DR.. Walcott
stopped at Pittsburgh. Pa. to attend the
commencement of the University of Pitts
burgh. and to receive an honorary degree
of doctor Of laws. He then proceeded via
Toronto and the Canadian Pacific railway
to Port Arthur. whence he will go to
Atikokan via the Canadian Northern rail-
way. On the shores OF Steep Rock lake,
near the latter point. he intends to collect
Algonkian fossils from locality discov-
cred last summer by Prof. Lawson Of the
University of California.
From there he will travel to Field,
British Columbia, where an assistant has
already established camp on Burgess
pass at an altitude Of 1000 feet After
spending a few weeks collecting fossil
specimens from the Burgess shale for
nation he will proceed north to the main
line Of the Grand Trunk Pacific, in the
vicinity of Yellowhead pass. making a
general reconnaissance survey OF that
region for Cambrian fossils.
II favorable conditions are encountered
the secretary will probably remain in the
field until the first Of October.

MEMORIAL FOR WRIGHT
Models of Columns in Temple
of Jupiter at Athens
Are Desired.

Application has been made to the State
Department, through the Greek legation
here, for the cooperation OF the Ameri-
can government and that of Greece In
securing from Athens models Of the
classic columns still standing in the ruin
ed Temple Of Jupiter. The object Of
this move is to aid the Aero Club of Day
ton, Ohio in building a memorial to Will
bur Wright.
The plan Is to obtain the cooperation
Of all the affiliated aero clubs OF the
United States, making the Dayton me-
mortal large. expensive and highly artis-
tic. The Aero Club Of Washington has
not been officially approached with a
view to its cooperation. but DR.. A. F.
Zahm said that doubtless, II an appeal
were made. the club would be very glad
to contribute substantially toward the
undertaking. Wilbur Wright was one Of
the few honorary members Of the Wash
ington Aero Club.
Many Of the officers Of the Washington
club say that while they will cheerfully
do everything possible toward providing
a suitable monument for Wilbur Wright
at Dayton, they think it would be
much more practical plan to make this
the occasion for building in America a
memorial laboratory for aeronautic re-
search.
1HS governments VI England, rance,
Germany and Russia all have such lab
oratOries well endowed and equipped,
which are doing valuable research work,
and it Is believed that aviation in this
country cannot reach sound scientific
basis until there is similar institution
here.
AS a memorial to Wilbur Wright, or
the late Prof. Langley, or both, 1t is
thought that such an institution would
attract the benefcence OF many a rich
American interested In the development
Of aviation.

Guilty Of murder in the first degree was
the verdict returned last night by a jury
in Criminal Court No. l against William
H. Sabens, a member of the Hospital
Corps of the army, stationed at Fort

house on D street last August
The verdict carries the death penalty.
and should Justice Anderson refuse a
motion for new trial, which will be
made by council for Sabens, the court
probably will Sc: the execution for some
day in the fall. This Is the first case in
which first degree verdict has been re-
turned since the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court denying the rigat

FATE OF THORNTON
is STILL A MYSTERY

Lockport, H., Oct. 31.-Editor Ar
gus: 1t may interest you and your
readers TO know some of the replies
we have received in answer to our in
quiry concerning the General Fry and
the General Thornton, which you so
kindly published.
Mrs. S. NJ. Shaver of Seneca, who is
so, and formerly lived in Lockport,
says that the first canal boat launched
was the William Gooding. 1t was
built near the old stone warehouse
at Lockport, and she was one of the
children taken on its first excursion
to Chicago.
The oldest official registration of
the General Thornton has been found
by Collector John O'Donnell of Otta-
wa and shows that Noah R. Smith of
La Sale county registered as its
owner in July, 1856.
Other Official records seem to show
that the Thornton was actually in op.
the New Orleans sugar and molasses
to Chicago in 1S4S Just before this
trip the General Fry exhibited the
record of being the first boat to trav.
erse the length of the canal.
A. l. Hartshorn and c. w. Culver
of La Sale recall that both the Thorn.
ton and the Fry were built by Isaac
Hardy in La Sale, near the present
gas plant, in 1S4S. 1t is their impress.
sion that both broke moorings in the
Chicago river during a flood on their
first trip and drifted into the lake
where they sank
ODonnell's record would seem to
show that this was not true OF the
Thornton Frank Guernsey of Nor.
ris also denies that this was the fate
of the General Fry. He claims that
the Fry sprung a leak at Morris
dock, as dragged TO one side of the
channel into a whitewater and allowed
TO sink near the Lupton & Barr ware
house This was about 1851 or 1852
Parts of the hull remained in sight
for many years, he says.
These statements SEEM to contain
the most accurate information to date
I but fail to solve the mystery of the
| disappearance OF the General Thorn
ton, the first canal boat to carry q
New Orleans cargo into Chicago.
! 1t is long jump from 1s4s to tbs
present, but it is interesting to note
that this month the lakes to gulf com
merce has been revived. The steamer
I Dubuque will leave La Sale soon with
1000 ton cargo for New Orleans
Its return cargo will be transferred
to canal barges and sent from Ia
Sale to Chicago.
! Very truly yours,
LEON MCDONALD,
General Superintendent
