The body of fourteenth member

All the way up from quarantine the

while the boat was being lowered into
the water and the boat was left sus-
pended in the air about five feet above
the surface of the water. Above the
flames were bursting from open port
holes.
Finally they got the boat in the
water by cutting the rope with an ak
and letting it drop into the sea.
After getting away from the ship,
their burned and exhausted condition,
with their boat leaking and the chief
steward dying, >the wind began to
freshen. 1t blew gale, and with bail
ing and rowing the men almost gave
up hope.
'Just at dawn big passenger
steamer passed closely by them. They
nearly collapsed when they thought
they had not been seen. 1t was the
Franconia, and half an hour later we
passed again and picked up the boat"

wireless operator; Antoine Elias, car
penter; Ivor Iverson, boatswain's

WILSON ASKS 0LNEY TO
SERVE AS MEDIATOR
Declines to Serve as Bank
Board Head

Washington, May 8.-Richard Olney
former secretary Of state, who has
just declined appointment as head of
the new federal reserve board, has
been asked by President Wilson to
serve as one of the representatives of
the United States in the mediation
controversy with Huerta. Mr.. Olney
declined the place on the reserve
board because he could not give his
time to the work. AS a representative
in mediation proceedings, however,
his work would probably last only a
few weeks
Mr.. Olney, in a letter to President
Wilson, received at the White House,
declined the offer of the governorship
of the federal reserve board on ac-
count of the press of private business
Mr. Olney's letter read:
my Dear Mr.. President: feel hon
ored quite beyond words by your let
ter of the Both ultimo-by the i'm
portant office offered and by the friend
ly expression of confidence which ac-
companied the offer.
But the act of congress, which very
properly requires each member of the
federal reserve board to give his en-
tire time to his work, is an insuper-
able obstacle to my acceptance OF the
office. In the course of long life
have in various instances assumed the
duties and undertaken trusts which.
from their personal nature, cannot
properly be devolved upon others.
eff the conclusion l have come to is
a disappointment to you, greatly re-
greet it. But you can hardly be sorrier
than am that am able to do so lit
tie In aid of an administration whose
first year of achievements makes it
one of the most notable that the coun-
try has ever known.
Trusting you will not suffer your
health and strength to be impaired by
the strain of the unusual difficulties
now attending the duties of your great
office, I am,
Sincerely yours,
RICHARD OLNEY."

CONGRESS- PLANS TO
ADJOURN JULY 10
To Quit Whether important Bills
Are Acted on or Not.
REPEAL BILL is ATTACKED
Senator Bradley of Kentucky Declares
Fight Against Free Tolls Is Due
to Influence of Britain and
Andrew Carnegie.

Washington, May 8.-That congress
will adjourn July 10 whether or not
the presidents program for trust Leg
islation and rural credits has been
passed was decided upon at confer
ence at the White House between
President Wilson. Senator Kern of In
diana and Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia.
Senator Kern stated that, while the
president desired the passage of trust
legislation, rural credits and the canal
tolls repeal he recognized that the
senate could not be expected to re-
main in session all summer.
I'VE ought to get through with the
tolls question in a couple of weeks,
said Kern, and we will do as much as
possible before July 10. At that date
we will quit. If we are able to pass
the trust legislation, and l hope we
shall, we will do SO. If not, it will have
to go over. The president knows that
we will do everything possible to aid
his program and he was very reason
able in his wishes relative to the work
of congress"
Declaring the fight against free tolls
was due to the influence of Great
Britain, the Carnegie plan of future
United States of Great Britain" the
Canadian and American trans-conti-
mental railroads and the shipping
trust, Senator Bradley of Kentucky in
the senate attacked President Wilson
and the repeal bill.
He charged Andrew Carnegie with
working to obtain union of states
in which England should be first
among equais," and the president with
having insulted congress and the coun-
try"
This man Carnegie" he declared,
hand in hand with the ship-owning
and trans-continental railroads and
coterie that surrounds him, is attempt
ing to persuade American citizens to
surrender the sovereignty and honor
of their country.
Repeal will be an acknowledg-
ment of the criminal bad faith Of
congress, and an humble and servile
surrender of the sovereign right to
control our domestic concerns"
