 o o O
 Message From Mrs. Lathrop.
 The message received by Mrs Smith follows:
 Hancock, Mich, August 11.-On our way out from camp we had to cross Lake NlplBOn. During tHe cIoHS 70 ing our gasoline launch caught fire. There was no life boat. Eight people were aboard, including the captain and engineer We had to flee for our lives in MT. Lathrop's canoe. All our luggage and camp equipment were aboard the burning vessel and We were forced to abandon them. Faced with the fear that the gasoline tank might explode before we got safely away and doubling whether our canoe could carry eight people, we were three miles from shore. Although the craft threatened to sink several times, our Indian guide managed to paddle ashore. There we watched the launch burn and rendered thanks that our lives had been saved in the canoe, which Mir. Lathrop had brought for the James Bay trip. The chief of the fire rangers finally res cued our party, but your father and l thought we were about to die, with the boat burning"
 MT. Lathrop is expected to return to return to Birmingham shortly Mrs. Lathrop will probly remain in the north woods for several weeks longer, according to her daughter.

CHICAGO, August 12.-Charging that the Steel and Tube Company of America, with assets of more than $100 100000. was sold to the Youngs- town Sheet and Tube company for S32,706,593. with a prospective great loss to common stockholders in the steel company, the Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation of New York has filed suit in federal court here to enjoin distribution of the sales proceeds to stockholders of the pur- chased concern.
 The Allied Chemical and Dye, hold CTS of more than l6O,000 shares of Steel and Tube stock, charges that Clarence Dillon, head of Dillon, Read & Company, of New York and Chi cago, although neither a director or officer of Steel and Tube, dominated and controlled the management of it's business through it's directors and officers appointed by himself.

This sale contract called for payment of $l1O a share to holders of preferred stock in the steel company and an addi- tional cash sum of Sl4,509,953, which the bill says would give common stockholders about $l5 share on stock claimed to he worth a least $40. on 1he other hand. it is charged, the preferred stock previously sold on the open market at from $G6 to $S6 q share
 It is charged that Dillon organized a syndicate and purchased controIl- ing interest of common at $l0 q share.
 The Allied Chemical and Dye Cor poration declares the transaction would subject it to loss of more than $4000,000.
