President Confers With the
Congressman Who Will
Draw Up the Bill
MEASURE TO BEAR
WILSON'S APPROVAL
Big Stick MethodsThen Are
to Be Used in Putting
It Through Houses

dent Wilson conferred today with con-
gressional leaders on trust legislation.

man New1ands and democrats of the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee and reserved the late afternoon for
a second conference with Chairman
Clayton and democrats of the house
Judiciary committee.
TO the latter committee the presi-
dent had given preliminary outline of
the ideas before congress recessed
three weeks ago. Today the president
was prepared to discuss with the two
committees, which will be in charge Of
trust legislation, specific points in his
program.
If possible it is the intention Of the
administration to obtain from these
committees, bills on which they are all
agreed and before the measures cover
ing the desired field are introduced. 1t
is the presidents hope that he may be
consulted and that the bills will be
launched with the stamp of the admin
istration's approval, just as was the
case with the tariff and currency.
An effort will be made to distinguish
for the business world, those measures
which have the backing of the presi-
dent and those which may represent
the individual views Of members Of
congress, though the presidents 8
forthcoming message satisfies the trust
views of eTery member of the cabinet
and that those members in close touch
with the business world believe the
entire country will find healthful re-
assurance in it.

HOPE REVIVED FOR
MISSING STEAMER
BOAT THOUGHT LOST IN GALE
SENDS FORTH FEEBLE CALLS
FOR ASSISTANCE.

Yarmouth, N. S., Jan. 14.-The
Royal Mail Packet Co., steamer
Cobequd was sighted aground on
Trinity lodges near here when the
fog lifted today. The greater part
of the steamers hull Is above wa
ter and it is believed those on
board are safe.
st. John, N. B., Jan. 1.-THE faint
purr of an IS o. S." call from the
missing steamer Cobequid, was picked
up at several points in the Bay OF
Fundy at 10 o'clock today and revived
hope for the safety of the vessel and
the 100 persons on board.
The wireless was not sufficiently
strong or continuous to give the loca-
tion of the vessel, but indicated that
she had survived a tempestuous night
and that there was still a chance for
her passengers and crew.
The Canadian Northern line Royal
George caught the cry of distress three
times and heard the steamer Lady
Laurier replying, asking for the loca-
llou VI IlC SobC4ulu,'E nv ASSPSAAoS
from the Cobequid could be made out.
The Lady Laurier went out from
Halifax yesterday to- take part in the
search and ought to be near the wreck
today. 1t is still believed that the
Cobequid struck on one of the Grand
Manan lodges and that Captain How
son mistook the point for Briar Island,
when he first called for assistance at
daylight yesterday.
During the forenoon wreckage be-
gan to come ashore on the Yarmouth
side Off the Bay of Fundy. 1t was ap-
barently from steamer and made
plain from the weather conditions dur
ing the past twentyfour hours that
some vessel, perhaps the Cobequid,
was on the lodges of Grand Manan and
that part of her upper works had been
swept away.
