North Cape Application For Help On the Night of February
 12th. 1916

Stripped of theorizing, sepcula. tion and comment, the Progressive Miner of the 1Tth inst, says:
 The storekeeper at Dolomi refus- ed his boat to rescue man adrift on the North Cape which was broken down outside the harbor.
 That there was heavy storm.
 That he said the boat in the har- bor was not his and he had no right to use it.
 That he refused to go even for payment and even though the res ponsiblity would not rest on him but on the applicant for help. AL so that he had no lisence to run the boat.
 On the night of Saturday, Feb ruary 18th, 1916, say about S:so p. m. (Mr. Acton's time is a little in advance) Mir. G. H. Acton brought a fisherman to me (pre- sumably H. Tiederman, but for pur- poses of Identification it may be said that the man had an impedi- ment in his speech) and told me that the North Cape was broken down outside the harbor, between Adams Point and Moira Rock.
 Mr. Acton said the man had come to him asking him to go out and tow him in but as his boat was only small, 16 it. with H. P. en- zine, he had come to see if could use one of our boats.
 We have two boats here-the Eurus, disElantled, boarded over and layed up for the winter, and the Gray, 10 H. P, in use.
 1 told him that We would do our best and the fisherman rowed me down to the engineers house and l instructed the engineer to do his best for the man. He worked for over an hour on the boat but did not get her started. Later inves- tigation showed that one of the ex- haust valves was not functioning. According to the engineer, the fish erman then told him that it was no use spending any more time on her and he would get Mir Acton to go. They came ashore and the fisherman took Mir. Acton away
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-03-01

with him to Mr. Acton's boat. They started about 1o:t5 pm.
 On Sunday I rowed down to Mir. Acton's place to see if he had returned and not finding him, row. ed out to see if anything was to be seen of him. Just outside the harhor saw two fishing boats and told them the circumstances. They told me to come back and let them know if I found both boats brok- en down and then one of them would go and pull them in. A matter of twenty minutes later I saw Mir. Acton coming round Adams Point and he informed inc of his inability to help the North Cape himself, owing to the gaso- line misunderstanding and how he had got help for them.
 This closed the episode until the Tahn came here on Monday and said that they were out looking for the North Cape. There was then storm blowing and the Tahn stop ped here until Tuesday morning.
 Vim. B. Boyce. Comments On Article in Progress
 sive- Miner
 There was no refusal nor unwil- lingness to help the fisherman. He was told that we would do our best.
 The storm is strictly imaginary. It was calm, quiet night. (See. Mir. Acton's report of weather con- ditions.) The opinion of the boat men here is that the men on the North Cape with their two row boats could have easily lowed the S2 fit. (size given by fisherman) North Cape in themselves.
 Storm did not arise until Sun day afternoon. Mir. Acton run ming around all night in his 16 it. boat IS, perhaps, sufficient com ment on the weather.
 I had no discussion with the fish erman re payment, responsibility, lisence or right to run the boats, these naturally having no weight on the point at issue.
 It might be mentioned that both boats have been out before in em- ergency cases, in other wrecks, un- der my direction, regardless of any of the above points.
 Wm. B. Boyce.
 The store-keeper at Dolomi has asked me to make a plain state ment of matters on the night of February F, in connection with the loss of the North Cape, to correct a misunderstanding of the matter involving himself.
 About 9 o'clock on Saturday night l was visited in my cabin in Dol omi harbor by man who came Tn a row boat. He declared that the

CORRECTION OF IMPRESSION CREATED BY A FALSE
 REPORT

On the 14th of February, re- port of the loss of the power boat North Cape was published in the Progressive Miner. A few days later after M. Tiederman had re- turned to town, he gave his version
  of the case that resulted in se- were critism of Mr. Boyce. The latter feeling that an injustice had been done him, he decided to make a statement substantiated by other men who presumably knew the facts in the case. Their statements fol- low:

Some Favorites Depressed to Lowest
 Prices Of Year.

New York July 13.-SeTiug of a broader and more promiscuous char acter than that of any recent period broke out. afresh today depressing prices of eTstWhile faVOTites to lowest prices of the year and for time causing unsettlement in standard shares The decline gathered much of it's momentum from the short in | terest, that faction extending it's Op- eTatiOns into new fields, incidentally adding to the impairment of stocks which already had suffered severe at triton
 Trading was on a large scale and wholly at the expense of values, eN- cept in the last hour, when short cOv- ering brought about a partial read justment and moderate recOveries from lowest levels. The motor group was the chief center of disturbance, l those issues, recording extreme de- clines of f to points. with Il for General Motors while stocks of aC- Cessories declined 2 to f points.
 U. s. Industrial Alcohol struck the new low level of 97 a maximum loss of 32 points since last Saturday. but closed at 1O3. American Beet Sugyr yielded only 1 1-4 points under heavy pressure, but other merCurial issues of the same class lost more ground.
 Munitions were subject to further discOuraging reports regarding the loss or cancellation of foreign con tracts with recessions of 8 to 5 points in Crucible Steel, New York Air Brake, American and Baldwin Locomotive, Westinghouse and Continental Can, while Bethlehem Steel at one time registered a decline of 23 points at 419 7-S, but closed at 434 1-2. T. s. Steel lost only a substantial fraction de- spite it's large turnover.
 Among rails, Reading, Canadian Pa cific, St. Paul. Great Northern and Norfolk and Western were lower by one to 1 1-2 points with the same for shipping issues. COppers were only moderately affected, but Mexicans, particularly Petroleum, showed little resistance. Total sales amounted to 6S5, 900 shares.
 In it's more significant aspects the feature of the day was the advance in the Bank of England rate to six per cent, the first rise since August 8, 1914 when the discount was reduced to , per cent. The change was ac- companied by the weekly statement, disclosing Q further gold contraction of $4600 000 Other developments in the international financial situation included a. weakening of marks in the local exchange market and the re- ceipt of additional British gold from Canada.
 Free selling of AngIo-French fives was again the noteworthy feature of the heavy bond market. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2990000.
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

New York, July 13.-Rowingy as an intercollegiate sport probably will be abandoned at Columbia University in the near future. Official announce ment to rthat effect is expected within the next few iCays and the resignation of the university from @the sIntercolleg- fate Rowing Association probably will follow. This action by one of the three institutions which became. char ter members of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association in 1895, has slbeen expected by close followers of row. ing at Columbia since the poor show ing of the local university crews at POughkeepsie on June IT, Coach Jim Rice and the members of the rowing committee have had great difficulty in recent years in obtaining a suffic- tent number of crew candidates not withstanding that Columbia has the largest enrolment of students of any university in the country. He has repeatedly stated that it was impOs- sible for him to develop representative eights. Rice is known to have been in communication with Cornell rowing men recently wit ha view to succeed ing Charles Courtney as coach of the Ithaca university Columbia crews have competed in every intercollegiate regatta since 1895 and won twice.

DECERRED@NOT A
 AMATEUR ASSOCIATION
Woodland Golf aoFub of Boston Has 5eens Refuseds Membership in U. S. Golf Association.

Boston, July 19,-It was learned to- day that the Woodland Golf club of Newton which supported it's members. Francis Ouimet J. H. Sullivan, IT,, hand Paul Tewksbury, who were de- clared ineligible to amateur standing by the -Cnited States Golf Association, has been refused membership in the national body.
 The club has held an associate mem bership in the national association and applied recently for active mem bership.
 Formal notification of the national body's action has been served upon club officials, but no reason for it has been given, it is understood. In the absence from the city of President B. Folsom other officials would make no statement. They said that a meeting of the board of directors would be called soon to consider the subject.
 Ouimet, Sullivan and 'Tewksbury were declared by the United States Golf Association several months ago to have lost their amateur standing because of their business connections.
 Ouimet and Sullivan are proprie- tors of a sporting goods house and Tewksbury is a salesman of such goods. Sullivan and Tewksbury have been allowed to compete as amateurs at several open tournaments, espec- ially those of their own club, and the state golf association has kept them on it's amateur list.

LETTER FROM JEWETT CITY.

Sporting Editor:-
 Is Plainfold afraid of Jewett City? That is the question many of the Jewett City fans are asking this week. A few weeks ago Jewett City played PlainfieId in Plainfeld and were defeated by a to score. The Jewett City team was promised a re- turn game at the same guarantee that they received in PIainfield. Last week Manager Nanisette notified the JeWett City manager that he would play in Jewett City on Saturday July 3. Af- ter Jewett City was put to consider able expense in advertising the game. PIainfield cancels the game. It looks to Jewett City fans as if Plainfeld has got a pad case of cold feet and cannot be depended upon to keep their agreements.
