mates that these pupils could be trans
ported to an adjoining school at a cost
of $3.50 per year, Buying of school
supplies in quantities would result in
Il saving of - TO 30 per cent or up
ward
j. r., Ducklow suggested that the
general expenses of towns could be cut
almost 30 per cent by Abolishing the
Office of town treasurer, eliminating
one supervisor and providing that the
clerk act as a supervisor, and provid-
ing that real estate he assessed only
once in three or four years.
Y. Y. Miller showed how several
hundred dollars was saved one year
by asking bids on insurance on county
buildings.

FOURTH TUG SEEKS
VANISHED VESSEL
Boats Securing Lake Erie for
Cornell Find No Traces
of Craft.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, December 25-
A fourth tug was added this morning
to the three already searching Lake
Erie for the missing tug Cornell,
which left here last Thursday and
was due in Buffalo Friday morning.
One tug, covering the middle of the
lake as far as Erie, Pa, yesterday re-
ported no traces of the tug or
wreckage.
Two other tugs patrolling the north
shore made similar vain searches
The tug Oregon was sent out today to
cruise the south shore as far as Fair
port and then work out into the
middle of the lake. Efforts are also
being made to enlist airplanes in the
search.
May Have Blown Up.
Various theories are advanced in
the marine circles as to the proba-
BILE fate of the tug. One is that the
tug might have blown up her boiler.
Those who advance this conjecture
duty at Ashtabula had not seen the
Cornell pass that point. The boat was
equipped with a staunch lifeboat that
would have enabled the crew to reach
shore unless the boat had gone to
pieces in an explosion or ice jam.
Others who scout this theory think
the boat may have sprung slow leak
or is delayed by engine trouble.
Report Heavy Fog.
Boats that put into Erie and Cleve-
land report the fog on Lake Erie SO
heavy that it is doubtful If they could
have sighted the Cornell even had
they passed within ordinary hatling
distance.
The Cornell, wooden boat. built
in 1888 had been sold recently to Sy-
racuse, N. Y. parties and was being
taken to Bpffalo for transfer. She
carried a double crew Of eight men,
all from Cleveland.

Chinese Girl, II, Who Fled
MARRIAGE. Returns to Father

standing over her. Nearby was her
mother, holding her eleven month -old
daughter. Betty. who was googling her
glee at the return of her sister.
'"fhefe's nothing further for US to
do" murmured the policewomen, and
they walked out again.
Mildred Wen was supposed to meet
her father at the Union station for
the midnight train Friday night for
New York. Her father preceded her
to the station. His daughter did not
show up Nothing was heard from
her since that time until today.
Decorations Speak Volumes.
Mrs. Wen has been on the verge of
nervous prostration. Her husband
has been making his decorations for
a Christmas feast in the restaurant
his missing girl. Early this morning
those decorations didn't mean thing
to him. Now they speak volumes.
The reason for the disappearance of
the girl is believed to be her reluc-
tance to marry George Mum Lee. son
of the millionaire president of the
Chinese Merchants Association of
by the parents and the girl thought
that she was too young to marry. For
that reason. it is thought. she left.
A reward of $500 was authorized
yesterday by Mildred's uncle. George
Wen, for information leading to the
return home of the girl.
Her mother this morning before the
girls temperance declared that her
little daughter Betty could not be
comforted since the departure of her
sister-playmate. The child had eaten
no food for over twenty-four hours,
Mrs. Wen said, and appeared to be
wanting her big sister, Mildred.
