down stream to death.
They had gone hunting early in the
morning and beached their boat on
the island. At night, when they re-
turned to the shore, the boat was
gone. Rising of the ice-filled, river
had f1oated it away.
Both men shouted. but without re.
suit. The water got higher. Finally
both men took refuge on the top of
4 stump, the only part of the bar
remaining out of water. Their shouts
attracted Walter Pegg, a farmer, liv-
ing in the neighborheod.
Hear Shouts.
He called another brother, Fred,
and together they dragged boat a
quarter of mile across land to the
river, and tried to reach the island.
BY that time it was dark. They could
not see the men on the stump, but
could hear them shout.
The stream was swift, and floating
ice cakes swept the rescuing boat
down stream.
The boat was beached again. and
dragged nearly a quarter of a mile
up stream. More than a score of
persons had gathered on the bank by
his time. At II p. m, watchers on
he shore heard the two men sing

They were standing waist deep in

Immediately afterward, they shout

Gradually the shouts of the two
doomed men grew fainter in the dark,

Finally the voices ceased. The bodies
have not been found.
Sheriff Mehrens of Blair has estab-
lished a guard along the river for
several miles from the spot where the
TWO men disappeared in an effort TO

FRENCH SEE MORE HOPE
IN FUTURE FOR RUSSIA

PARIS, March 5.-The belief Of Basile
Maklakoff that reconstruction will be
possible in Russia when the moderates
gain control Of the soviet government
and carry out essential reforms was
commented upon today by representa-
tive Frenchmen as indicating new
orientation Of the Russian problem
Maklakoff, appointed ambassador to
France under the Kerensky regime, is
q well known constitutional democrat.
There is a widespread sentiment that
France should resume relations with
Russia at the earliest practicable mo-
ment, for many Russian bonds are held
by the French public.
The difficulty is in the soviet govern
ment's refusal to recognize the old for
eign debt. The bolshevik suggestion
that The Hague conference be permit
ted to deal directly with the French
bondholders over the heads of the
French government is interpreted here
as an attempt to extend soviet propa-
ganda.
Announcement that. American con-
gressmen are planning to visit Russia
also has served to revive interest In
that country.

frankly this company's position in the

ITO any one who has followed the
proceedings before the subcommittee
il is obvious that the whole inquiry
and the resulting report are based
upon the preconceived notion. as
sumed without proof, that there still
exists among the various so-cal1ed
Standard Oil companies, in defiance
of the dissolution decree of 1911, a
combination or conspiracy to dom1-
nate the American petroleum indus

pany New Jersey is party.

REPORT IS PRAISED.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, March 5.-The re-
port Of the Senate investigating COM
mittee. which charged the Standard
Oil companies with controlling the oil
industry, was commended last night
by l. c. Nicholas, president of the
National Petroleum Marketers Asso-
citation, here to attend the annual
convention of the association, which
opens Tuesday. The association Is
composed of approximately 1000 in
dependent oil jobbers.
Mr. Nicholas declared his aSsocia-
tion has been 'contending for years
that pipe lines should be divorced in
ownership from the oil transported''
and it was common sense that the
lines should be made into a genuine
common carrier" as recommended by
the committee.
When informed of the commit
tees allegation that discriminatory
freight rates have been brought
about through alleged control by
the Standard Oil company, he con-
tinued: Every Independent oil job
ber in the mid-contnent region
knows what the discriminatory rates
are doing. The rates are such that
they can get competition abroad, but
