Engineer Kitchin and native seaman arrived from the wreck Of the Sea Wolf last night coming down from York on the Standard. The native said After we go ashore Henry, he say how can grub last if you eat him up. So we go". The mariners were reduced to rice and this slender provender was insuffici- cient to maintain the whole crew, so lest they share the fate of little Billiee of whom they made a fricasee", Chief Engineer Kitchen and the native left. It was about nine days ago when the Sea Wolf was beached in quite storm. The boat slid gently on the beach and last night Gap. Whitlam of the Arctic communicating with Witten- berg said the boat was safe and if help was at hand they could get it off. The two who arrived last night after remaining night by the boat set out in skin boat to Lap lagoon crossing from there via Potatoe Mountain to York whence they started in a dory for Teller when Captain Wagner picked them up with his launch Standard. The wreck took place within twenty miles west of Shismareff and the en- gineer was quite frank i'll stating that they didn't know where they were, grub was short and that they beached for exploration and replen- ishment purposes is the logical in- ference from his statement. Whit lam told Wittenberg that the Sea Wolf is safe and with very little help could be saved. If the Bear could give hand Wittenberg thinks that boat and cargo could easily be brought to Nome.

 MT. F. W. Cobb who with Mrs Cobb recently arrived from St. Michaels, intends to remain in Nome for some time. MT. Cobb was form erly in command of the editorial deck of the Nugget. He has been prospecting in the interior of AL aska and looking for what is sell dom the object of the prospector's search: pearls. He says that he had the misfortune to find in the lakes tributary to the Iditarod several beds of mussels and in some of them baroque pearls. He was told by scientists that if he could come across a bed of dying mussels he would probably find a rich pearl bed It appears that ducks leave behind excreta containing germs which have lived in the water and the mussels feeding upon the ex- creta absorb the disease germs which for self protection they en- cyst within their shell with cal careous deposit thus forming the pearls of commerce. Unfortunate ly he was not successful except in a small way, and he was obliged for the present to abandon the search in which he is however still inter ested. He thinks well of the An dreafski diggings and thinks there will be many men working in the Marshal camp this winter The Kuskokwim country too is looking up and he has hopes that it will eventual fly be considerable of a pro- ducer.

Fred Oruake had the book thrown at him for 'frequenting a bawdy house in the municipal court when Judge Grimm enriched the city trea- sury by the sum of $1O0 and costs. Oruake is a comparatively new arri- val and he created a disturbance in the rooms of a colored woman on Thursday. He was arrested ynstpr. day morning and at five o'clock placed on trial on the above charge. He made quite a defense, admitted that he went to the house of the lady to collect some money she owed him, had done some work for her and she had rented him a room. The City Attorney asked for the maximum penalty for the case Is this the beginning of a prosecution of Nome macques, or is it merely the ending? Oruake is not the only one in town. There have been several here long before he came and they are not prosecuted. In the language of M. J. B's famous coffee "Why?"

TO BACK UP WILSON
Labor Federation Refuses to Vote
Against S-Hour Legislation.

Baltimore. Md. Nov. 25.-The
American Federation of Labor today
refused to go on record against eff
forts to obtain the eight-hour day by
legislation.
Instead the federation put the issue
over for another year, during which a
special committee will confer with
transportation workers organizations.
Desire not to embarrass President
Wilson because of his work in fore
ing an 8-hour day law for railroad
men, was the apparent cause for the
conventions action.
Were up against a situation de-
clared Mayor-elect Thomas Van Lear
of Minneapolis, representative of the
machinists union, where a president
of the United States has sensed the
sentiment of labor better than our
own organization has in the past two
conventions"
He referred to the fact that the past
two conventions have gone on record
against efforts to obtain the shorter
working day by legislation. There
was little discussion, the vote was 1856
to 50 for deferring action one year.

GIVE Up CHILDREN
High Cost of Living May Break
Up Kansas Families.
Parents May Be Forced to Hunt
Other Homes.

The Kansas Children's Home So
ciety and other home finding societies
offer a solution of the problem of the
poor of Topeka and other Kansas
cities in their unequal struggle against
the H. c. L.
At the Kansas Children's Home So
ciety there are more than 200 appli-
cations for children from homes all
over the state, according to D. F.
Shirk. secretary of the society. There
are hundreds of other applications on
the files of the orphans homes and
similar societies operating in Kansas.
The Childrens Home society places
but 100 children year. according to
Mr.. Shirk, and there is always an an
nual residue of 200 childleSS homes
left disappointed.
I'VE always consider a long while
before we break up family ties" Mr..
Shirk says, but in an increasing
number of cases there is nothing else
to do"
The Provident association reports
that the majority of their cases come
from families where a day laborers
income is struggling to still the cries
of from five to nine or ten hungry
children.
That more children and parents
will be parted this year because of the
H. c. L. than ever before is the belief
of Mr.. Shirk and other home-finding
agents.
Its the babies that we want" is
the universal cry that reaches the So
cieties from the childless homes of
Kansas. And babies to give away are
scarce. 1t is only when actual Starva-
ton faces the Kansas mother that she
will give UP the youngest But there
are scores of other homes that would
be happy to secure children of any
age.
Last week, one hour after a baby
was born to a widowed Topeka moth
err, with a brood of older children de-
pendent upon her, a prospective home
was found for the infant. In En-
poria last month a 9-hours-old child
WAS adODted

TOPEKA LOOKS GOOD
Prohibition Argument Clinched Here,
says Nebraska Writer.

Topeka's arguments for prohibition
are answered in her big retail stores,
her clean looking men and women on
the streets and the lack of profanity
and trough neckism" in the pool halls.
That was a statement made by Frank
A. Harrison of Lincoln, Neb., writer
for the Nebraska State Journal who
is investigating Topeka industrially
and morally, for future comparison
with Lincoln.
THE beautiful retail stores l find
in Topeka, which number twice as
many as those of Lincoln, larger
city, are the best arguments Topeka
has for prohibition" said Mr.. Har-
rison. ''It proves to my mind that the
the men of Topeka and their wives
spend their money on useful things
instead of in the saloons.
Then, too, I visited the pool halls
in Topeka. The young men 1 found
there were not rough necks spending
few minutes between drinks in
saloon next door. The curSing and
boisterous talk were lacking"
From Topeka, Mr.. Harrison will go
to Alabama and Georgia to continue
his Investigations. He was active in
the prohibition fight in Nebraska at
the recent election.

WAS 1T MURDER?
Coroner Doesn't Believe Calvin

Skull of Old Man Was Cracked
Like Egg Shell.
LOOKING FOR MYSTERIOUS man
Some One Was Seen Aiding
Morally Wounded Man.
No Motive Can Be Found for
Death of Hayes.
LOOKING FOR MYSTERIOUS MAN

DIR. o. F. Narcotic, coroner, oe-
Heves Calvin Hayes, the aged man
found mortally wounded at the bot
tom of the stairway leading to his
rooming house at 500 North Kansas
avenue late Friday evening, was muir
dered. He does not believe any man
could have sustained Hayes's injuries
by a fall. A coroner's inquest has
been called for Monday morning in
the rooms of the court of Topeka.
Il have examined the dead man
carefully" said Doctor Narcotic to-
day, land cannot believe that his
death was caused by a fall. His skull
is cracked like an egg shell. There IS
a fracture at the base of the brain
running almost from one ear to the
other On the top of the head, 10
wards the front, is a fan-shaped frac-
ture spreading in 3everal directions.
Either fracture is sufficient to have
caused death"
The officers are looking for man
who was seen by Mrs. Patsy Mulligan,
wife Of the proprietor of the roomiDg
house, when he helped the old gentle
man into the approach to the stair
way. She has given the police a gem
eral description of the man but no one
has been picked up on the strength of
it Mrs. Mulligan says the man
seemed to be trying to help Mr.. Hayes
and her thought was that he had
found him outside helpless and placed
him in the stairway.
If the man were merely helping

Only Means of Livelihood Stol-
en- From One-Armed Man.
Loaned Car So He Could Care
for His Sick Wife.
EARL PATTERSON IS CHARGED
Man Who Drove Car Believed
to Have Taken 1t.
Sad Case Sends Entire Force
Out for the Recovery.

When the wife of E. w. Paslay, a
one-armed jitney driver. became sick
he couldn't afford to employ nurse
to care for her and two little children,
SO he arranged with Earl Patterson tc
keep the jitney going while he, Paisley,
went home and took up the duties of
nurse and housekeeper. Then Patter
son disappeared with the automobile,
Pasley'S only means of livelihood.
Today the police department and
the SheriffS office are securing the
country roundabout Topeka trying 70
locate Patterson and the stolen auto
mobile. A warrant was issued from
the court of Topeka today charging
Patterson and two others whose
names are unknown with stealing the
car. Telephone and telegraph mes
sages are being sent to all nearby
towns giving description of the car
and it's driver.
The car is a new Maxwell for which
Paslay spent practically all the money
he had. He has been driving it only
about two months and it is in excel
lent condition. He places its value in
the complaint at $6S5.
Patterson was in Topeka with the
car at o'clock Friday afternoon. Of
that time, went all over the car and
it. That is the last trace the officers
have.
Paslay was at the court house and
the police station today giving what
information he had. Patterson is de-
scribed as about 20 years of age, red
haired, with a sandy complexion and
pOmpadOur hair.

Hayes officers are asking why he
does not come forth now and tell what
he knows in order to help clear up the
matter.
Mystery in the Case.
There are some mysterious things
about the case. For instance Hayes
hat was found hanging on a nail in
at the foot of the stairs, and there is
blood on the hat. There is a spot of
blood on one side and there was a suf-
ficient quantity of it to run down to
the band. The only explanation the
officers have arrived at is that some
friend who helped pick up and carry
Mr.. Hayes to the room also picked Up
the hat and forgot about 1t in the ex-
citement. No one has been found who
picked up the hat.
Hayes was in his room at o'clock
Friday afternoon. z. R. Hayes, pro-
prietor of the Hayes seed house and
son of the dead man, took the elder
Mulligan says the old gentleman left
few minutes later, going down the
back stairs. She did not see him again
until o'clock when the stranger
helped him inside the stairway door.
The Bloody Hat.
Some of the officers working on the
case are proceeding on the theory that
Mr.. Hayes was struck Wnlle IN MS own
room; that he attempted to get out
on the street and fell down the stair
way. That would account for the pres
ence of the bloody hat in his room.
Between now and the inquest Mon
day all the evidence procurable will
be gathered and will then be presented
to the jury. No motive for murder has
been discovered. Mr.. Hayes had no
money in his room nor did he carry
large amounts upon his person. He is
not believed to have had any enemies.
DR.. Narcotic says the injuries ap-
pear to have been made with some
blunt instrument. The autopsy was
held today at the Penwell undertaking
establishment
Mr.. Hayes was the first commission
man in Topeka. He came here from
in 1883 and opened a COM
mission and seed house at Third street
and Kansas avenue. He retired from
business eight years ago and has been
living at 500 North Kansas avenue He
