Held Responsible
for Storm Losses

WASHINGTON Nov. 17.--An in
vestigation of the United States
weather bureau to fix responsibility
for the recent heavy loss Of lives and
property on the Great Lakes during
the recent storm Ia likely TO be order
ed.
Representative Gordon, of CleVe-
land, wired directly to President Will
son yesterday demanding an investi-
cation Of the forecasts sent out from
the weather stations on the Great
Lakes just prior to the storm. Tho
president turned the matter over to
the department of agriculture. Repre-
sensations have been made tn the
authorities in Washington that the
predictions by the weather stations on
the lakes were misleading, and but
for this fact vessels would not have
put to sea. and the loss of life and
money would have been minlnized'
If not entirely averted.
The charge has been made that
the weather station at Cleveland pre-
dicted course Of the winds directly
opposite to that taken, and that this
is a very important matter to naNiga-

adjourning.
The senate to day adjourned until
Thursday. Senator Ashurst, of Ar-
zona. complained, and threatened to
make some opposition when the mo-
ton was offered. He said the senate
ought to stay in session continuously,
and goad the banking and currency
