WIRELESS SAVES
DENvER'S CREW

Mallory Liner Sunk But All On
Board Saved
SPRUNG BAD LEAK IN MID0CEAN
Called by Wireless and Ten Ships
Hurried to Give Needed
HELP

New York, March 24.-The Mallory
Line Steamer Denver due TO arrive
here Saturday is reported to have
sunk in mid-ocean today. The cause
of the sinking is unknown
The Denver was bringing home the
captain and crew of the Evelyn. the
American ship which was sunk in
German waters month ago the re-
suit of striking mine.
II is reported that the freight
steamer Megantic answered the Den

ed on the scene in time to rescue
crew and passengers which she Is
bringing to New York The captain
and crew Of the Evelyn were among
those saved making twice that the

The passengers and crew of the west
bound Mallory Line steamship Den
yer, which was leaking badly and in
imminent danger of sinking. 1900
miles from New York, were rescued
at O'Clock this afternoon by the
Atlantic Transport liner Manhattan.
And once more the wireless proved
the salvation of many lives at sea.
The Denver. which was proceeding
from Bremen for New York. sent ont
a wireless call for help at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, reporting herself
leaking and in distress.
Many steamers, including the St
Louis Manhattan. Lakoma, Megantic,
FL Dia. Bergenjford. Corscan. Mary
land. Vestris and Van der Duyn, re-
ceived the call. and hastened to the
point where the Denver was supposed
to be.
The roughness of the weather ana
the dark night prevented prompt
location of the imperiled steamship,
but she was finally sighted at abour
noon today by both the St Louis ard
the Manhattan.
The st. Louis, which was bound
eastward had spent practically the
entire twenty-one hours searching for
the Denver, and had gone consider
ably south of her course in her quest.
The St Louis and the Manhattan
came up to the Denver about o..
clock. the Atlantic Transport liner al,
irving few minutes before the st.
Louis.
The Denver then had heavy list
and seemed to be on the verge of go
ing down.

FEDERAL BUSINESS COMES TO AN END:
 DEFICIENCY SHOWN

atty. and there is no way of telling how many are watin guntn the last moment to pay.
 Estimates of the treasury deficit today varied between s40,00t,0oo and $6O 900 GOO. Receipts for the last few days, however, present need for a bond issue, looked upon as probability a few months ago.
 One fact that officials do not overlook iH considering the present condition Of the treasury is that the postoffice depart ment has run behind somewhere between S10 0o0, GOO and 515, 000. Many reasons are given for this development, among them the condition of business during the first few. months of the war, the closing of stock exchanges for a long period and the falling off in foreign business.
 Customs receipts of the government ap- parently have not been far under what was expected by officials few months ago. Secretary McAdoo estimated that customs would bring in about S240,00 900, and it seemed probable tonight that the total would not be below s210 600, 900.
 From all information available now the emergency tax law has not been as good a revenue producer as was expected. The internal revenue bureau has not divided receipts from this source from those from ordinary internal revenue taxes, but 1t is pretty well understood that the law has not lived up. to expectations. Receipts from whisky taxes in particular have shown a falling off

REFUSE OFFER ID
 SETTLE STRIKE Contractors Will Not Agree to Use Only Chicago
 Materials

Chicago, June 30.-Sixteen thousand car penters on strike for two months today offered to return to work at 65 cents an hour, the old scale, if contractors would agree to use only Chicago materials. The offer was rejected.
 This further failure of the carpenters and contractors to agree made it appear certain that the allied materials manurac- turers would make good their threat to shut down, throwing 2OO,O0O employees out of work
 Members of the building contractors or ganization said that materials could be purchased outside Chicago at lower rate than here, and the carpenters stand against such purchases was unrea sonable The carpenters argued that much of the material employers would bring in was unfair
 Edward Hines. president of a lumber company, voiced the general attitude of the employers. He said:
 "The time for a finish fight between capital and labor to force arbitration in all disputes has arrived. Affairs are in such a state here that something must be done to insure security of investment. The employers are making no fight on organized labor; they wish only to clea r up a situation thrust upon us"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Too Much Use of Big Stick"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Feeling that your reiteration of the F'ite bill, or the general manager bill which is to be introduced into the next session of the legislature in July, was for the purpose of getting expression from the people. I am again imposing upon your munficence for space in your columns.
 The O'Neal legislature was characterized by it's methods of riding rough shod over the will of all in the perpetratins of it's mandates of whatever nature, of whatever good or of whatever public interests to all to the immediate interests of those whom they wished to serve. That policy has brought down upon the head of that administration bitter criticism if not ostra- cism. Indications point to the same methods in the present prohibition leg islature and both legislatures are sub servient to the same predatory interests, dominated by the same "big business interests.
 During the past few days there has been a meeting of the prohibition solons at which the general manager plan was discussed among other things including the five commissioner bill or senator Judge. The Judge bill showed ear marks of having been relegated hence the only remaining plan of throttling the peoples wishes, which are to be ex- pressed by vote here in September, is the manager bill of Mir Fite. One of the leaders at this meeting made remark which in substance was as follows: We now have the power, let us put over this general manager bill, have the legislature name the five directors and the man. ager." One of their adherents remon- strated, calling attention to the fact that that was the ONeal plan and making the prediction that those methods could not mean success.
 The result of that meeting was noth- ing accomplished so far as the meeting was concerned. However, the general man ager bill has not, apparently fallen by the wayside. If this bill goes through it will mean that the people will get no voice in the election of the commissioner this fall, to which the people are en- titled.
 An inaugurated of a powerful lobby prohibition or otherwise, only brings us hack Into another administration which is dominated by interests inimical to the interests of the people; interests which are selfish and in absolute indifference to any interests but their own and who are powerful enough to obtain what they want. In other words the action of a prohibition lobby which will attempt to put legislation through in utter disregard of the interests which they are pledged tc support means the return of saloons to Birmingham and Alabama in four years.

Social Service Federation En-
cages Miss StuGebaker to
Take Up Work.

The Federation for Social Service
announces that il has engaged Miss
Louise Studebaker To take up the
work of collecting the unpaid pledges.
The funds Of the federation have met
winter and as a result il is necessary
that all who made subscriptions pay
them at once and in full in order
that the work be not crippled
When the federation was organized
and subscriptions taken for the sup
port of the combined charities it was
agreed that there should be but enc
solicitation and this agreement has
been kept most religiously. no one
who gave TO the federation being
asked TO give more by any Of the
members. the only ones called upon
being those who made no subscrip-
tiOns.
The plan OF federating the princi-
pal charities and philanthropies
which was put into effect last No
vember has worked out in a most sat
isfactory manner in South Bend just
as il has in other places in which it
has been tried. 'Che past winter has
been a very trying one and the work
Of some OF the bodies would undOubt-
eddy have been crippled had it not
been for the aid of the federation.
1t is anticipated that the satisfaction
OF the first years work will be such
as TO enable the subscription of the
support for next year without great
effort and possibly largely by mail
as is now being done altogether in
Cleveland where the idea originated.
