weather on it's passage across the Allan
tic. and although it was due to arrive
at New York yesterday. did not reach
there until today and did not dock at its
pier in New York until noon. making it
impossible for Capt. Amundsen to reach
noon.
Tickets Good for Tomorrow.
The tickets for the lecture which was
to have been given this afternoon. the
society announces, will be good for the
lecture tomorrow afternoon, and they
will not be good for the lecture to be

at the coming visit of Capt,

lard Hotel tomorrow night, at which Rear

HAUL CREW TO SAFETY
Nine Men Dragged Up High
Cliff With Rope After
SCh00ner'S Wreck.

ST. JOHNS. \. F., January 1O.-Capt.
Burke and the eight members of the
crew of the schooner Evelyn were hauled
to safety up the steep cliffs at Aubois
by the fisherfolk of that hamlet last
night, after the Evelyn had been dashed
to pieces on the ledges off shore.
The wreck of the Evelyn had left her
crew helpless, as their boats had been
carried away. Hope of reaching shore
was slight until boat manned by fish
ermen reached the Evelyn's side.
Thrown on Rocks
When the transfer of the crew had
been accomplished and the boat headed
for shore the wind shifted. The small
craft was carried out of it's course and
thrown on a narrow shelf of rock at the
foot of the cliffs, a mile down the coast.
Hemmed in by the perpendicular cliffs on
one side and by the rising tide on the
other, the little band seemed without way
of escape. But their fight for life had
been watched from shore and the fisher
folk hurried to the cliks and dropped
three-hundred-foOt rope to the men be-
low, hauling them to safety, one by one.

Oil Magnate Must Further Prove He
Cannot Testify.
BAKER AGAIN ON THE STAND
ConfeSses He Is Director in Fifty
Corporations-Shows Deposits of
First National in New York.

The money trust committee of the
House today ordered Chairman Pujo to
send a physician to meet William Rookie
feller, returning from the Bahamas, as
soon as he reaches American territory.
The ply sician will endeavor to ascertain
whether or not the oil magnate is phys
ically able to give the committee testi-
mony A press dispatch says Mr.. Rookie
feller had decided to leave New Provi-
dence, Nassau, today for Miami. Fla.
When the committee today started its
hearings George F. Baker, a powerful
financier. of New York. resumed the
stand. Mr. Baker asked permission to
make a statement.
You made me out such great holder
of directorships Yesterday" he said to
Mr.. Untermyer. that | wish to say that
l never became director or a voting
trustee of any company at my own solicit
tatiOn.
I'VE have just begun to ask you about
your directorships, said Mr.. Untermyer.
He added that list furnished by Mr..
Bakers bank showed that directors in
the First National held eighty EIGHT d
rectorships in other corporations. In thir
ty-seven corporations members of J. p.
Morgan Co. and directors of the First
National Bank were common directors.
Agrees to Furnish List.
Mr.. Baker agreed to furnish a list OF
the corporations in which he himself was
a director. He thought he held about
fifty such places.
Mr.. Untermyer asked Mr.. Baker if he
could supply statement of the ac-
counts by which the First National
Bank jointly with other institutions
handled through syndicates issues of
securities. The witness said his coun-
sci had advised him that to demand
this information was beyond the powers
of the committee. The facts We're now
known in detail by the controller of
the currency. and he believed the COM
to be exposed to the public.
A long conference between Mr.. Baker,
Fisher A. Baker and former Senator
John c. Spooner. his counsel. ended
with a request that the question be
passed to allow counsel to consider
the legal phases.

aid of the, farmer in this connection and as a result of their efforts a cheapened supply of lime has now
 been secured.
 As one of the chief purposes of the industrial bureau established two years ago by the New England Lines,
 was to aid the farmer so one of the
 first problems taken up was that of
 getting back lime into his soil. Here
 tofore farmers have gone around to
 lime kilns and taken the s1aked lime. Nobody ever thought of furnishing
 went into the kiln and the farmers
 never thought of using it on their farms, though this has been done ex-
 tensively in the west for some time.
 Representatives of the industrial bu- reau of the New Haven, Boston and
 Maine and Maine Central Railroad fin ally succeeded in unearthing an ex- tensive lime deposit near West Stock
 bridge, Mass, and have been respon- sible for the organization recently of
 the Changers Lime and Marble Com
 pany, with Wilson H. Lee, vice-presi-
 dent of the State Board of Agriculture as it's president. This company pro
 poses to furnish ground lime to far
 mers at a cost of $1, 50 a ton f. c. b. or about $3 a ton delivered.
 For practical results, as shown by | analysis made by the experimental
 
 l pure lime to a ton of air slaked lime and 1000 pounds in a ton of ground | lime. But the ground lime will cost | now half as much as the other. The
 result on the soil, according to the ex- 1 perts, is the same. and no less an au- 1 thority than Prof. w. A. Henry, for l merly Dean of the Wisconsin AgrI- cultural College. says that he would
 rather have ground lime than the oth- l CT.
 1 | Stockbridge, there are probably 2,O0O,- 1 900 tons. The output is expected to I be about 10000 tons year. This l will not suffice for all New England s | farms by any means. There are TO- l 900 farms reached by the New Ha- ven road alone in New York, Connec- I ticut and Massa chusetts. To make them all produce the best results 1 would require probably 7 700, ,0O0~tons a year. But even this single supply i will do much towards bringing back l fertility to many farms and make | them attractive again.
 Already hundreds of farmers have written into the industrial bureau of 1 the railroads at Boston and to the Changers Lime and Marble Company at Danbury inquiring as to the use of lime and it's cost. The industrial bu- reau in cooperation with the experts is now seeking to secure a. similar supply of cheap ground for lime for
 northern New England.
 With New England farms in posses
 sion of a supply of cheap lime easily applied nothing should remain in the
 way of making this region one of the most successful fields for really inten- stve farming. To-day 1t has the mar
 kets and in fact everything but the production. Prosperity for the farm
 spells prosperity for the country. That
 is why the railroads of New England
 are trying to help th~ farmer here
 bring back fertility to his soil by en-
 deavoring to supply him with a cheap
 supply of one of natures necessities
 without which all life must wither and
 decay.

inexpensive in the east than in the West. It is claimed by Caesar Misch, Inc, that owing to the fact that Cae- sar Misch stores extend over New Eng land that this gives them a great ad- vantage in purchasing in quantities,
 therefore, they can sell cheaper than others and consequently the purchas- ing power of one dollar is greater at their store than in smaller esta blish- ments. As demonstration of what they say is fact, a special Saturday sale will be held this week, offering entirely new stocks of ready-to-Wear apparel for man, woman and child at prices which are considerably lower than ordinary. It is a sale open to everyone as Cheerful Credit knows no
