WIFE ENDS WOE OF WHOEVER
Error in Trnnslating Cable Code
PIunxes Captain In Grief.

Capt. Edward Skinner OF the British
garrison at Bermuda, according to Purser
E,den-Sherrard OF the Royal Mail liner
Caribbean. in yesterday from the Island.
received cable code despatch a few days
ago that was translated to mean that Mrs.
Skinner had died and had been buried In
this city.
The Captain was much shocked by tho
despatch, as he had heard that his wife,
who was on the way from Gibraltar to
join him at Bermuda, was In fine health.
He put deep mourning band around his
arm. and Gen. Sir Frederick Bullock. Gov
ernor OF the island, Lady Bullock and the
officers of the post condoled with him.
The Captain had expected Mrs. Skinner
on the Caribbean on her last trip to Ber-
muda and he went out on the tender to
get whatever information might be OBJ
tainable about her death. He attracted
the attention of passengers by his melan-
choly look and stride and the mourning
band on his arm. His bowed head sud
denly became erect when voice from the
rail OF the ship called his name caressingly.
He looked up and saw Mrs. Skinner
leaning over the rail. throwing kisses at
him. For a moment he was habbergasted.
Then he rushed up the accommodation
ladder and found by hugging her that
Mrs. Skinner was no spectre.
| She asked about his former sombreness
and wanted to know why he wore the
mourning band. He told her, and then
they learned that the message sent from
New York by a friend had been mistrans-
lated. 1t ran: Tell Skinner wife on
board" Mrs. Skinner removed the Cap
taIn's mourning band.

of the St. Lawrence disaster. Already

Capt. Thomas Andersen of the Storstad.
Each commander almost unqualliedly

ders of the other, Capt. Kendall main
talning that his ship was practically
motionless and that the Storstad blum
dered into the Empress, despite repeated
warnings. Capt. Kendall is supported
in his story by his officers and. to a large
extent. by the survivors. Capt. Ander-
crew. declares that the Empress was
moving at "a good speed" and that her
rapid Roadway prevented the Storstad
from plugging the hole his ship had
made in the side of the Empress.
Capt. Andersen went so far as to tell
Pilot Nault. who brought the Storstad
here from Quebec, that Capt. Kendall
had lied in his version of the circum-
stances of the collision. Andersen's eyes

Of the opinion that Carranza got every
opportunity TO enter the conference on

as Viewed by the President has been COM
muncated TO the steel and other industries
related thereto and In turn has been re-
Elected in the money market by tighten
ing OF credit
The psychological aspect Of this depres-
sion. the President added lies In the fact
that the situation in its last analysis IL
based upon tlmdity with regard TO the
future. The President declared that he
told the middle Western manufacturers
who visited him last week and TO whom
he made originally the statement about
the psychological character of business
conditions. that II they would believe that
instead OF hard times being on the way
prosperity was coming. prosperity would
come with jump.
No actual depression. according TO the
President. exists in the general business
OF the country. Wholesale dealers are not
finding any depression among the general
buyers In fact. Mr.. Wilson believes that
nearly all the lack OF confidence OF which
there Is any evidence in the business ~vl q.

roads.

AEROPLANE MADE IN SUMTER
Aviator Robbins Locates in Gamecocl
City and Makes Machines.

Sumter, July 1.-The first aero
plane manufactured in South Caro-
lima has just been completed in Sum-
ter, and the inventor and maker, Ed.
A. Robbins, flew five and one-half
miles in his Sumter manufactured
aeroplane yesterday. The 5 1-2 miles
were made in 7.34 minutes and he
wasn't trying to break any speed
records. He ascended to a height of
only 500 feet.
This is the first time Mr.. Robbins
few off the aviation field here, al
though he has circled around the field
several times on experimental tryouts
of the machine. The Sumter aviation
field has been pronounced by Eugene
Ely, Mr.. Robbins and many others
familiar with such matters as the fin
est in America.
Mr.. Robbins is to permanently To-
cate here and manufacture aero
planes. He is an expert aviator of
several years experience. His aero
plane designs are vastly different
from any other make, and he pro-
poses to put on the market machine
that will make aviation safer, more
efficient, and much cheaper, so that
they will have commercial value and
of practically the same use as auto
mobiles.
