The governments sreamer Lady
Lureier, which was within 20 miles
/. Of the scene at 4 o'clock, was notified
and is speeding to the Cobequid. Ra-
diograms were also sent out from st.

be reached to hasten to the Cobe-
quid's assistance The steamer John
L. Cam was sent out from the west
port and tug was dispatched from
here.
The Trinity Ledges, on which the
Cobequid stranded, are a collection
of Jagged rocks on the eastern side
Of the entrance to the Bay Of Fundy
and ten miles north of this port.
They are more than five miles off
the regular course and the Cobequid
is supposed to have been carried to-
them by the westerly gale.
The ledges are ordinarily indicated
by the lighthouse on Lurcher shoal,
ten miles southwest, but the light
could hardly have been picked up
during yesterdays snow storm.

man CLAYTON ana democrats Of the

Of the ideas before congress recessed
three weeks ago. Today the presi-
dent was prepared to discuss with the
two committees, which viii be in

points in his program,
1t was said today that the presi-
dents Forthcoming message satisfied
the trust views Of every member. Of
THE cabinet, and that those members
in close touch with the business world
believe the industry OF the country
will find reinsurance in it.
He Wants Early Action
Members of the senate committee,
after a two-hour conference with the
president, said he had read them his
message and discussed many Of its
details at length Some Of the sena-
tors had no doubt that an interstate
trade commission with limited powers
to assist the courts in carrying out
DEGREES OF dissolution would be ere
ated.
They all appeared certain, too, that
legislation prohibiting jnterlocking
direcforafes would be put through,
that penalties would be imposed in
every case on individuals and that
personal guilt would be distinctly
fixed.
The main point in the discussion
was the extent to which the Sher-
man law should be be supplanted.
The president is understood to have
pointed out that it was necessary to
relieve all doubt as to what consti
tutes restraint of trades believing
that public sentiment no longer was
that restraints Of trade could be

which the task should be approached
contending that since big business
was manifesting a disposition to con

was desirable to treat tho problem
! With q feeling of friendliness ant
cooperation rather than Of radica
antagonism. Mr. Wilson is said t
have indicated his Wish that trls
legislation be- kept within a wen DC
1 fined scope, and some Of the senator
said afterwards that while ther
nia1t be various bills drafted fh8
would follow the lines the presiden
noiufed ont today.
