FLOATING WRECKACE
MAY Be LOST ERIE
TUG, SAY AV|AT0RS
Birdmen Search Lake Near
Erie, Pa, Finding
DereIict on Rocks.

Cleveland, Dec. 27.-Sighting OF
wreckage of boat Wednesday by two
aviators in mir mail planes which were
sent out from the government air field
here to assist in the search for some
trace of the tug Cornell and seven
members of its crew. missing since
last Thursday. marine men declared
Wednesday night might clear the mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
the vessel.
The observers, c. E. Johnson and
Il. NJ Allison. reported that they had
seen what appeared to be the hull OF
ship about Is feet long, five miles east
Of Erie and half mile from shore. II.
r. Shaver, superintendent of the air
mail field. announced. They stated
that boilers and machinery were above
water. Although rocks along the
shore were coated with ice, the avia~
tors said that there was no ice on the
wreckage The boat appeared to them
to have been burned
Their one thought, the avlators
told Shaver, was that it might be an
old derelict. To settle this point, both
planes flew close to get good enough
view.
while they could observe ice on the
rocks on the shore, they could see none
on the derelict and this led them to
believe that it might be the Cornell"
Shaver said. ''They supposed from
the blackened appearance of the craft
5s1at it had gone through an explosion,
a fire or something of the sort. The
heat from this, they said, must have
thawed the ice on the wreck"
Upon receipt Of the fliers' report
Fl. f. Gilpin, president of the Great
Lakes Towing company, which sold
the Cornell to Syracuse firm, an
nounced he would dispatch tugs from
Erie Thursday to search the vicinity
where the wreckage was reported to
have been seen.

WOLF PACK DEVOURS
THREE MEN; ONTARIO
SETTLEMENT STIRRED
Elderly Trapper Caught on
Return From Post; Two
Indians Killed.

Port Arthur. Dec. 27.-A great row.
ing pack of hungry timber wolves has
devoured three men, according to
meager reports sitting in Wednesday
from the snow covered trails of the
Sturgeon river country. These re-
ports told of losing battle fought
by two Indians after a white trapper
had been downed and killed.
Last Saturday an elderly trapper
left his cabin in the woods 20 miles
north of Ignace to mush down to the
settlement for his Christmas mail.
He arrived in safety There was no
mail, however, and the old man said
he would come back Christmas morn
ing. At noon he had not arrived.
The postmaster sent two Indians to
follow the trail until they found him.
About two miles from the settle
ment, the Indians found spot pound
ed down in the snow and crimson
bued. Bits of dog harness torn to
shreds were scattered about In the
midst of them the Indians found hu-
man bones. They hastened back to
report their discovery.
.Ine lure or the bounty on wolves,
however, urged the Indians to take
the trail again with extra ammunition.
They sped behind their dog team into
the woods as the villagers waved
goodby. They did not return.
Tuesday a new searching party de-
parted. They found another patch
trodden in the snow about two miles
beyond the first.
The two guns the Indians had car
ried were lying there and scattered
about were bones, bits of clothing and
empty shells.
The carcasses of is dead wolves lay
stretched IN circle about the tramped
patch of snow

Guarantees.

WASHINGTON, Feb. o.-Henry Ford

committee chairman announced today.
Ford viii be represented before the
committee by A. S. Mayo, his chief en-
gineer. Mayo is scheduled to appear
Monday.
Chairman Kohn has prepared to combat
attempts of the Agricultural Committee
to get control Of the Ford proposal.
Backed by a declaration from Secretary
Of War Weeks that the Alabama project
was started as a military necessity and
was financed from military funds. Kahn is
ready TO face the fight coming on the
floor of the House when the change in
reference is sought.
1t became apparent when hearings on
the Ford offer were renewed that some
members are hostile to the Detroit mans
proposal.
Several of them agree with Secretary
Weeks that Ford has not offered suf-
ficient guarantees to the Government that
he would carry out his contract by COM
plotting the project and continuing the
manufacture of fertilizer.
Approval of the House committee to
the Ford offer, 1t was declared by some
members, depends on whether Ford Will
strengthen his guarantee that he will
manufacture fertilizer to capacity pro-
duction OF the plant and at a materially
reduced cost to the farmer.

u. S. LESH SEES
COLLISION IN
CEMENT BIDS
Attorney General Says There
Is Not Question About
Companies Guilt.

There is no question that the cement
companies are guilty Of collision in
submitting their bids for cement to the
State" L. S. Lesh, attorney general,
said today IN commenting on the con-
ference yesterday attended by himself,
Governor Warren T. McCray. the State
highway commission and representatives
Of five cement concerns
Mr.. Lesh said no decision had been
reached as to what is to be done about
it but that he and the Governor would
discuss the matter within the next few
days. He said the representatives Of
the cement concerns in effect admitted
their guilt in their statements at the
conference.
When asked whether this means that
the State viii prosecute under the anti
trust laws, Mr.. Lesh said this depends
on the outcome Of his conference with
the Governor. He said that the State can
institute action individually, or that il
can ask the Federal Government 10 aid
or that il can submit what evidence 1t
has to courts IN other States where the
sO-calIed cement trust IS now being
prosecuted.
MEANWHILE the cement dealers have
shown no indication to change their
stand or their prices, which were identi-
cal for 100000 barrels az cement. Neither
h-s the State shown any indication to
change its attitude to the effect that the
bids cannot be accepted
This may mean that the State will tuy
no cement and that the building of hard
surface roads viii be abandoned for an
indefinite period The cement on which
bids were submitted was to be used for
the construction Of sixty-six miles OF
the National road to MI the gaps between
sections already paved
