FATE Of TWO VESSELS
AGREAT LAKES MYSTERY
Eight Bodies Ashore Tell of Wreck
Which May Include Steamer
and Two Schooners.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. November
21.-Up to a late hour today the last
twenty-four hours had revealed little
information to clear up the mystery
surrounding the fate of the steamer
c. F. Curtis and the lumber laden
schooners S. E. Marvin and Annie NJ
Peterson, in tow of the Curtis, which
were caught Thursday in the seasons
most severe storm on Lake Superior.
That the Peterson went down in ''the
graveyard of the great lakes" near
Grand Marias. seems absolutely certain
in view of the bodies and wreckage
which have been washed ashore.
Two of the eight bodies recovered
last night were identified today as
E. l. Anderson and Edward Kitchener
of the Peterson's crew. Whether some
Of the other bodies We're from the
Curtis or Marvin remained to be deter
mined after Identification had been
made.
Carried Twenty-Six Persons.
The three missing vessels carried
twenty-six persons in their combined
crews. The fact that two Of the bod
les recovered were those OF unidenti-
fled women caused many to believe
the Curtis met the same fate as the
Peterson, inasmuch as it was thought
one or both of the women had been
employed on that vessel The sailing
records did not reveal any woman
hands on the two schooners.
The three ships cleared from Baraea
with lumber for North Tonawanda,
n. Y, Wednesday morning. They
but were not heard from until the
Peterson wreckage was found yester-
day.
Hope Two Are Safe.
Local marine men hesitate to believe
the Curtis and Marvin were lost Laden
with lumber. as they were. 1t is
thought, however, they may be water
logged and tossing about several miles
out in the lake.
The destruction of the Peterson,
which. in company with the Marvin,
was in tow of the Curtis, does not
necessarily Indicate serious happenings
to the other two vessels. it is argued.
The Peterson may have severed her
towline in the binding snowstorm and
gale, while the other two vessels passed
on safely.
Four of the eight bodies--two men
and two women-that were washed up
yesterday are at Grand Marais, await
ing identification. On one of the wom-
Ell was LOuHu "dlCilp DcdiiHe5 tiiO
letter r." but there was nothing fur
ther to identify her. To add to the
mystery, there is a card in the local
marine post Office addressed to Miss
Margaret PURGE, in care of the barge
Peterson.

Mrs. John Walker, wife of Capt John
Walker of the Annie NJ. Peterson, and
from her daughter. asking news of
Capt Walker.
Relatives had feared that Mrs. Walk
err and her daughter were on board
with Capt. Walker when the barge was
wrecked in the storm which has ragged
on Lake Superior for three days. No
word of the fate of the Curtis and the
Marvin had been received today by the
lumber company.

BANKS LENDING POWER
EXTENSIVELY INCREASED
Important Effect of New Currency
System Noted After One Week
of Operation.

The establishment of the federal re-
serve system has already had an i'm
portant effect in increasing the lending
power of the member banks. in addi-
ton to the loan power of the federal
reserve banks. This comment Is con-
tained in the first consolidated state
ment of the federal reserve system,
made yesterday afternoon, by the fed
era reserve board. giving conditions
at the close of business Friday.
Rediscounting privileges have been
availed of to considerable extent in
New York, Chicago, st. Louis and Kan
s~s City. Elsewhere, the showing is
serve banks, up TO the close of business
Friday night, total $5,e07,o00.
Issue of New Currency.
Federal reserve notes to meet local
in Chicago, New York and Minneapolis
Every bank, however. has been sup
piled with an adequate quantity of
notes to meet its needs. The total
value of reserve notes in circulation is
$1,2l5. 1000.
The relatively small amount of redis-
counts, as compared with the resources
of the system, is due to the policy of
the federal reserve board in encourag
ing the payment of reserve deposits in
actual money, instead OF in redIscounr-
ed paper. hates of discount establish
ed week ago, it Is stated, were fixed
with this policy in mind.
Reports from all districts are of the
most encouraging character, 1t Is COM
mented. Eacn federal reserve bank. it
is understood, will publish simultan-
eously q statement of It's Individual af-
