INTEREST CENTERS IN
OVERTURNED VESSEL
All Hope Practically Abandon.
ed for Other Victims of
Lake Huron Storm.

PORT HURON. Mich, November IL
With five big steamers given up for lost
with all on board and practically all
hope given UP for four others that en-
| countered the terrific storm OH Lake
Huron during the early part of this
week, interest today centered again upon
the identity of the overturned frefghter
which lies in the lake a few miles north
east Of here. Weather conditions this
morning indicated that it would be pos
sible for diver to go down and ex-
anime her before night
The five steamers for which all hope
has been abandoned are: The John A
Mclean and the Charles S. Price both
OF Cleveland; the James S. Carruthers,
the Regina and the Wexford. all of
Toronto.
The four vessels. the destruction of
which has not been definitely deter
mined. are: The Harry B. Smith, the
Hydrus. the Argus and the Isaac NJ.
Scott. all of Cleveland.
Eight Ships Loss, 100.
The loss of the eight ships with all of
the crews would make a life loss of
more than 100. Wreckage from both the
Hydrus and the Argus has been washed
ashore, and the Scott has not been heard
! from since she sailed away in the storm
She was due to report in Chicago yester-
day. it Is said.
The general opinion this morning was
that the unidentified overturned steam
er will be found to be either the Price
or the Regina
This opinion was based upon the fact
that a body from the Price was found
with Regina life belt upon it. The
dead from the Regina and the Price were
also washed ashore at the same point,
and other circumstances would ind cate
that the two boats had met In collision
and Immediately gone down, one COM
pletely disappearing.
Federal Officials Criticised.
Much criticism is being heard in ma
rine circles against the federal authori-
ties, who. it is alleged. have failed to as
sist in identifying the sunken vessels,
| wreckage from which was strewn along
Lake Huron's shore for a radius Of
ninety miles on both sides.
| The sunken steamer is also proving a
serious menace to navigation. 1t is
| charged, but it has been left without a
| marker to guide steamers passing up
and down the lake.
| 1t is claimed there are many captains
and Wheelsmen who are not yet familiar
with the location of the derelict. The
revenue cutter Morrell spent but one
night in this locality.
No Light on Fate of Vessels.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 14.--At
the offices of the steamship companies
managing the steamers Argus. Hydrus
and l. NJ. Scott, thought lost in the storm
on the lakes. it was stated today that no
word had been received that would throw
| light on the fate of the vessels.
| The finding of Wreckage of the Hy
drus and Argus at Goderich, Ont, how
ever, has made company officials pessi-
| mistic as to their recovery.

Mothers Hard to Convince.

The difficulties of convincing mothers. in
Importance of cleanliness as an aid to
health, and particularly as regards the
healthfulness and well being of their ba-
bies, was described by Miss Fannie Glenn

the visiting nurse. learning to do with

problems in helping the mother and baby
than does the infant welfare nurse in the
city. who has innumerable sources OF as
sistance at her command.
When the rural nurse finds a sick
baby" said Miss Clement. she does not
have to go far to find various causes
sufficient to kill hundred babies.
Then, ngle-handed. as rule, she
starts her campaign. She must first
help make the baby well before she can
need of her baby being sick, for not
until then is the mother ready to listen
when the nurse tells of the Importance
of clean and proper food and clothing,
and the value and use Of pure water,
air and sunshine. Not until then does
the mothers interest in germs awaken
new subjects for discussion around the
kitchen stove.
Before the nurse has completed her
duty by this baby, she has investigated
the pantry, the kitchen and the cellar
the clubhouse, the well, the pigpen and
the barn, has talked with the farmer
about his cows and has related the vari-
Gus features of farm life to the health
of his child. The farm is the baby's

exist is the direct responsibility of the

that the children of the prince and the
