where a handful of rice a day is used
to sustain life. and the days wage is
standardized accordingly.

The law of the sea declares that she
is derelict and that the man or men
who bring her safely back to port
are entitled to salvage up to the total
value of the boat.
The ship is the naval tug "Poto-
mac" recently abandoned by her crew
because Of the intense cold and the
danger of being crushed in the 40
foot ice which surrounded her on all
sides. Secretary of the Navy Daniels
sent word to Boatswain Wilkinson,

ship until the ice lowered in great
bergs over her superstructure and
threatened TO fall in a hail of death
upon her decks. Then he gave the
reluctant order TO abandon the ship

their way over the broken ice to the
mainland while the Potomac without

destruction in the Straits of Belle

the Bay of Islands. only 10 find that
the mouth of the bay was filled with
ice which was rapidly becoming pack

again the sturdy little tug tried to
crash her way through the wall of ice
but each time she was thrown back.
Venture Failure.
After several days of vain attempts
to reach the fishermen, Boatswain
Wilkinson decided that the venture
was a failure and so reported to
Washington. with the additional in

the ice which had frozen solid under
her to thickness of 40 feet until the
tug was literally encased in a block
of ice several miles wide and long. If

Potomac into the water between there
would have been little hope of saving

8 United States senators. The BOOher

The only active opponent OF this
legislation in the senate is Knute Mel
son of Minnesota. His argument is
that such a law would prevent the
state of Minnesota from exporting 70
other states Irvine made by Minnesota
prisoners i'm the state factory. As a
matter OF fact the Minnesota factory
does not make enough TO supply the
farmers Of the state itself. So his
argument is not sound.

Chicago. Jan. 22.--An investigation
Of the charges that Swift & Co, pack
ers, had profited to the extent Of $780,
900 by what is said to be rebatinga
system with the Ann Arbor Railroad
Co., was begun by federal grand
jury. A dozen packing house and
railroad men were among the witness
es brought before the inquisitorial
body.
The shipments involved are said to
have been, carried by other roads, not
involved in the, charges, to points on
the Ann Arbr road, the main line of
which runs from Toledo, o., to Frank
fort, Mich. This road is alleged to
have hauled .consignments of beef of
less than carload at carload rates.
The beef was "peddled" from town
to town along the line, according to
charges made to the jury. Most of the
beef was consigned to Saginaw, Mich.
