LIGHT is SHED ON
SIBERIA MYSTERY
Officials Conduct Investigation
of Reported Sinking of
Vessel in May.

Toxic, Japan.-Some light has been
thrown upon the wireless" mystery
of the reported stransng of the Pa
cific mail steamer Siberia, May I, off
the coast OF Formosa, yet not enough
to say that the mystery has been
cleared. While people of two hemls-
pheres were in dread that the vessel
had sunk, and a dozen warships were
searching vainly, the Siberia sailed in
/ TO Manila bay, saying that there must
h. We been some mistake, as she had
no accident, whatsoever.
! The company officials here believe
| that the confusion was caused by the
signal of the Persia being mistaken
fo- the international distress signal
sos" while the Siberia was giving
her position to the Persia, and they
explain in detail their reasoning. But
the Japanese operator at the Ozesah
land station insists that he really
heard the distress sigma, which claim
ed to come from the Siberia. He said
he did not think the signal "MBS" (the
name of the PERSIA could be mistaken
by a trained operator for SOS"
No word has come to Japan yet
from the captain of the Siberia, giving
his log or any theory as to the mys-
terry. Always admitting the Siberia
log may afford light, the Pacific Mail
company officials offer this eXplana-
ton, which was first suggested by the
wireless operator of the Persia:
The SOS" distress is: Three dots,
three dashes and three dots. thus:
=
The Persia cal (MBS) is two dashes,
one dash with three dots, and three
dots. 1t would be sent this way: NJ,
-; B, -. =; s.,
The static condition being bad, it is
thought the operator at Ozesaki picked |
up IS" the last letter of ''MBS." Then |
he caught the two dashes of M and /
Joined them to the dash of the letter |
"B." The final three dots of the letter |
"B" gave him his s. and he had |
sos"
Under this theory the spacing be-
tween the dashes must have been ir-
regular or shortened by the dots be-
ing heightened.
Having found this explanation in an
effort to get at a solution of the mys-
stIg. lHe steamship OlHCldiS aunt

wAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, Ill, June 22.-More rains
fell in Canada and the northwest over
the weekend and moderate tempera-
lures prevailed. IL is probably the
most remarkable June ever witnessed
in the spring wheat country. Kansas,
Nebraska and southwest had a sharp
hot spell on Saturday with tempera-
lures up to 100. There was a drop to
around "a on Sunday. Over the week
end the northwest, northern Illinois,
Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Mich
igan have received rains. The weekly
forecast is not bullish on wheat, as it
suggests moderate temperatures in
northern regions.
Newspaper comments cover scarcity
of old corn and wheat. Local feeling
is bearish on wheat While old crop
supplies are very low it is felt that we
are too near the new crop flood. Also
the condition of spring wheat on July
l will be 80 to 80. A big wheat visi-
BILE decrease is due today. The corn
visible should not decrease seriously,
if at all. Weekly weather forecast
suggests flashes of hot weather south
and southwest. We have reports of
80 to 100 per cent on spring wheat this
orning. Illinois and Indiana, Missouri.
Texas and North Carolina report poor
oats. Corn appears in high condition
in the rainy states and is still holding
out in the dry sections. Shows esti-
mate of corn farm reserves near a rec
ord low point will probably hold the
old crop months at current levels.
oats should be bought all
dips. Wait for rallies in wheat to SELL
