256 SAILORS and MANY
SHIPS, STORMS TOLL
OVERTURNED VESSEL NEAR PORT HURON
Identified As THE CHARLES S. PRICE.
.-T0TAL OF DAMAGE IS NOW BEING
COMPUTED.

Port Huron, Mich. Nov, 15.--One OF
the strangest mysteries in connection
with the destruction of vessels and
men on the Great Lakes by last Sun
days storm, was solved today when
William Baker, diver, identified the
overturned vessel in Lake Huron, 13
miles northeast of this port. as the
Charles S. Price, of Cleveland. The
Price is said to have carried a crew
of 2S. All of the crew are believed
to have been lost. Until today all
efforts to identify the derelict has
been in vain, and there were many
conjectures as to her name. The gen.
eral opinion, however. was that she
would be found to be either the Price
or the Regina.
1t is still thought that the wrecking
of the Price and Regina must have
been in the same locality. The diver,
however. found no evidence of an
other submerged vessel beside the
Price. The opinion that the two
is borne out by the fact that body
from the Price was found wearing
Regina life belt
The identification of the mystery

Amusing Incidents.
Apart from the intense interest in
the meeting which presented the
dramatic element of conflict. there
were some amusing features. One
was the clash between former Attor-
ney General George w. Prichard and
former Judge John X. Merle. Gener
al Prichard championed the forces op
posed to endorsing Hewett and toward
the end of the session pleaded against
injecting personal" elements into the
fight. He shook his fist several times
in one direction whereupon Judge Nc.
Fie exclaimed
"You needn't talk to ME-"
General Prichard replied: Yes, and
l mean you more than any one" or
words to that effect.
Another amusing incident was the
clash between President Dorman and
Judge McFie as to the interview Hew-
ett had with Mr.. Dorman concerning
the printing of the "Oldest City" on
the envelopes the chamber of com
merce had ordered, Judge McFie first
argued that Mr.. Dorman had given
way to a tempest of temper; pinned
down by Mr. Dorman's searching ques-
tions as to what really had occurred
Judge McFie said suavely: well, you
did boil over just little" There was
prolonged laughter

ONE CHANCE OF
PEACE NOW
GONE
UNION MEN TURN DOWN SOUTHERN
PACIFIC'S OFFER TO SETTLE
TRAINMEN'S STRIKE, DECLARING
that IT IS AN EVASION OF THE
QUESTION.
SETTLEMENT MAY COME
THROUGH FEDERAL BOARD

Houston, Tex, Nov. 15.--One of two
peace proposals aimed to settle the
Southern Pacific railroad strike was
refused by labor leaders here today
They rejected Julius Kruttschnitt's
offer to confer with the federated
an evasion. President Wilson's move
for mediation remained as the only
hope for speedy settlement
The statement by the federated
board of Kruttschnitt's offer is as fol-
lows
"Once more the Southern Pacific of
fcials are evading the issue. Mr..
Kruttschnitt proposes the formulation
of some plan to adjust future griev-
ances without any regard to those eX-
isting. Such being the case, we can,
as matters stand, have no reply"
| Mr. Kruttschnitt's offer was to dis
cuss with a representative committee
of the four labor organizations on
strike, the question of inaugurating a
system of dealing with controversies
through joint committee represent
ing all four organizations.
Except for a few passenger trains,
the entire Sunset Central system was
completely tied up. No violence had
been reported anywhere on the 1400
miles of idle track between Ell Paso
and New Orleans,
The Southern Pacific railroad eX-
pected to operate fourteen passenger
trains daily, manning them mostly
with it's own officials Among these
are the east and west bound daily
transcontnental expresses. requiring
eight trains for each way, to maintain
their schedule.
julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
executive committee of the Southern
Pacific announced yesterday after
noon that the railroad company was
willing to discuss with represtative
committee of the four labor organiza-
tions now on strike the questions OF
system of dealing With
through a joint commit
tee representing all four organiza-
tions.

BRITISH MINISTER GIVES
HUERTA A FRIENDY TALK

. Washington, d. C.. Nov 15--Wash-
ington today awaited dispatches from
Charge O'Shaughnessy as to the eff
feet of instructions sent him late last
night by Secretary Bryan, informing
counsellors OF tluerta, who have dis
played an anxiety to reopen negotia-
tons, on just what conditions the
United States would assent to further
pareys.
AS the new Mexican congress, which
the United States has refused to
recognize as legally chosen, was to be
convened by official order late today,
| it was expected here that definite de-
yelopments in the situation would
materialize.
! Officials are confident that Huerta
now realizes not only that the United
States is in earnest in its intention to
GUST him and may accomplish his
elimination by lifting the embargo on
arms, but also that Great Britain as
well as the other foreign powers, have
assumed more than passive attitude
of acquiesence in the American
policy.
The fact that Sir Lionel Garden, Brit
ish minister to Mexico, is communicate
ing to Huerta intimations of a strong
character that he must eliminate him
self. lin accordance with American con-
tention, is said to be the development
or which the situation has turned
within the last two days.
