age From Vessels Are Found
on the Shore.

Marquette, Mich, Nov. 15.-Thirty
lives were lost and another great loss
was added TO the list caused by the
recent lake storms, when the Henry
B. Smith, carrying 10000 tons of ore,
was lost off Keweenaw Point on Lake
Superior.
The Hawgood Transportation COM
pany of Cleveland, owners of the ship,
telegraphed Thursday FOR information
concerning the Smith whereabouts,
stating that although five days over
due the ship has failed to reach the
500.
The Henry B. Smith, with Capt.
James Owen in command, loaded here
and waited two days for the storm to
abate.
The Smith failed to reach any port
on Keweenaw shore, and marine men
say it is highly improbable that it is
somewhere on the Canadian coast.
Wreckage o. a large vessel was found
late in the day. 1t is believed the
Smith sank off Standard Rock, about
thirty milss from Marquette. The
Henry B. Saith was of steel, sos feet
long, 55-foot beam and 30-foot depth.

on the shore OF the lake. Wreckage
from two other boats, still missing,
was cast up by the waves, and no
trace had keen obtained of two YES
sells or their crews, totaling more
than forty n,en.
Estimates of the number of lives
lost in the storm, declared to have
been The worst known on the lakes,
range from $50 to 800.
Lying in various morgues along the
Canadian shore are bodies of sailors
from the Steamers James Carruthers,
Regina, John A. Mclean, Wexford and

BELL FOR INDIANAPOLIS
Republicans Are Given Second Place
TIVE Killed In Riots In Gary.

indianapolis, Ind.-Joseph E. Bell.
Democrat, was elected Mayor of In
dianapolis by a plurality of $500,
Charles A. Bookwalter. Republican,
on the face of the complete unofficial
returns, received a total of 1887
votes, 1923 more than were cast for DR.,
William H. Johnson, Pro,
The entire Democratic ticket was
elected by pluralities in the neighbor-
hood of that received by Bell.
The Republicans, in spite of the
difficulties they encountered, had a
fairly good organization and did bet
ter than last year, when Taft, for
President, and Durbin, for Governor,
ran a poor third.
The vote was heavier than antici-
pated, in view of the strike conditions.
National Committeeman Taggart di-
rected the Democratic organization
and was in touch with every ward
throughout the day. He seemed to be
confident from the start that Bell
would win by plurality exceeding
5000. Bookwalter used every effort to
get out a winning vote, but concedse.
after hearing from a few precincts
that Bell had won by a plurality of at
least 5000.
