SURVIVORS TOLD NOT
TO SAY ANYTHING

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Feb. 8
Survivors of the former trans
port Northern Pacific, which was
burned at sea yesterday with pro-
badly loss of four lives, are not
convinced that the burning of the
ship was wholly accidental. Be-
lief was expressed among the sur
vivors that the fire was the result
of some activity aboard the vessel
at Brooklyn. An attorney for the
Sun Shipbuilding Co., was here to-
day for the purpose of obtaining
sworn statements from the crew.
The men had been warned to say
nothing. Captain Lusti is said to
have warned his men that the ship
ping boards orders prohibit their
telling anything of the accident.
When he was asked concerning re-
ports that the ship might have
been "fxed" before he left her
berth, he declared he must decline
to answer any and all questions.

army of miners then flockino to
the Pacific coast. That was be-
fore the davs of easy travel and

adventures which Mr.. Bean loved
to relate. Going by stage to Lo-
well, they travelled by rail to
New York. then by boat to Pan
ANA, walked across the isthmuS
and then continued to San Fran
cisco. That city was then a small
town of tents. Returning two

Saline vessel and made the trip
home around Cane Horn.

children were born to them, Den
nison Bean of St. Johnsbury, who

JohnSbury, and Mr.. Bean has
since made his home there. He
has failed rapidly since the death
of his wife but retained his re-
markable nhysical strength until
last October when a fall weaken
ed him. Mr.. and Mrs. Bean sol1
their home in Barton in 1905 and
went to Lyndonvillc to live with
Mr.. and Mrs. Ford later going TO

News Of the Markets
QUOTATIONS
HELP WHEAT
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, June 3O.-Wheat had d
decided upward tendency in price to-
day during the early transactions
the chief immediate reason being an
unexpected jump in values at Liver
pool. Besides, bullish estimates OF
the domestic winter crop yield were
looked for from unofficial sources
here. Misgiving about black rust and
in regard to possibility of a trans
.portation tieup were further incent-
ives to buy. The opening which varied
from unchanged figures to half high
Ell, July $1.14% to $1.15B and Sep
tenlber $l:l6 to $1.16A was followed
by slight sag and then by SUBJ
stantial gains all around.
Rains in Iowa made corn and oats
relatively easy. After opening kc off
to hc up, September 66kc to 66Ac,
the corn market underwent slight
general decline and then rallied
somewhat.
Oatss started Nc lower to like
advance September 80 to 39h and
held near to the initial range.
Provisions were dull and irregular,
lard declining little and ribs show
ing an advance.
General buying on account of black
rust reports and on bullish winter
crop figures sustained prices until
about midday, but then demand
slackened and gains were practically
wiped out. No actual damage yet
from black rust was noted. Prices
closed unsettled &c net lower to
&c advance, with July $1.14A to
$1.14& and September $1.15A to
