BETTER TIMES COMING

TNHE bids received for $4,000, 900 in 5}a
i per cent fifty year city bonds yesterday
indicate that there is plenty of money seek
ing investment in securities exempt from the
Federal income tax.
The total Of all the bids amounted to four
times the amount to be borrowed. The sue
cessful bidder viii pay 104.139. This will
make the amount of cash paid into the City
Treasury for the bonds Sc. ZOE, $50, and it
will reduce the rate of interest to a shade
above 5A per cent.
This is too high for a municipal bond,
but when it is recalled that investors have
been getting big profits out of war indus
tries, the readiness Of capital to take up
the bonds at the rate of interest offered will
be regarded as an indication that readjust-
ment has begun. 1t is sign that the pur-
chasing power of the dollar Is improving.

She reached there about the middle of
March. and on the 18th of that month the
unloading was finished.
II Is interesting at this distance of time
to read the end OF this great work.
The last eight bags Of the cargo were
carried ashore by Count Brobrinsky, the
chief of the Famine Relief Committee; by
the City Prefect OF Libau, Captain Sargent,
of the Indiana; Mr.. Crawford, the Ameri-

SHIP FIGHTS STORM
THAT KILLS OFFICER
Passengers and Crew on Liner
Have Thrilling Time in
Hatteras Waters.

Passengers and crew OF the Panama
Railroad liner Colon, which arrived from
Panama yesterday, related accounts Of
one of the worst hurricanes ever en-
countered off Cape Hatteras. One life
was lost and the ship was badly battered
during the twenty-four hours that she
drove through the storm.
The Colon was just inside Cape Hat
teras waters when the storm broke.
Within few hours the wind attained a
velocity Of 140 miles an hour, her Of
ficers said Chief Officer Patterson. who
had the bridge at the time. was hurled
against a rail, suffering internal injuries
that proved fatal.
From then on the ship was tossed
about in a most alarming manner. At
one moment her rails were almost un-
der. and it was feared by many Of the
passengers that she could not right her
self. Water poured into her hold until
1t reached a depth Of four feet, and it
was kept out of the fire boxes with diff
ficulty. Pumps were kept going for
hours at stretch. Every member of
the crew was exhausted.
During the hurricane the passengers
were kept in the cabins. Many of them
were bruised in falls across the decks,
but none was seriously hurt. The storm
subsidized suddenly and from then on
the Colon experienced fine weather.
Peterson's body was brought ashore
and his wife made arrangements to have
