continued on her way without offer
ing aid to the stricken vessel or even
making her identity known. The
Pendleton filled SO rapidly. Pothier
said. that the water in the holds
gained on the men at the pumps. and
Capt. Pothier's attempts to drive her
into Cuxhaven harbor were frustrated
on the shifting sands at the mouth OF
the Elbe.

belts and lashed themselves to the
rigging, but all but two of them were
swept away by the raging sea, which
broke over the ship as she settled
into the sands. Engineer. Pothier and
the ships cook managed to keep their
precarious holds until the storm had

SAYS TAXES HURT CHICAGO
Manufacturer Pictures Deserted City
Ii Le,ies Continue to Grow

Chicago, July 11.--Suggestion that
the city of Chicago turn Its attention
to a reduction of municipal expendi-
lures, instead of attempting to In
crease its income from taxes, was
made today by John M. Glenn, secre.
tary of the Illinois Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, in letter to Ross A. Wood
hull, chairman of the Council Finance
committee.
The great need Of the present time,
Mr.. Glenn declared, is for decrease
in taxes.
Chicago has made wonderful prog
ress," he wrote, but 1t cannot meet
the competition Of other industrial
centers if taxes continue to rise. Our
city is already feeling the high cost
of manufacturing. Should taxes in
crease as rapidly in the next five years
as they have In the last five years the
pigeons will roost in its high buildings
before the end of the decade"

PRINCES QUENCH THIRST
Austrian Wine Growers and Sellers
Alarmed at Reduction I'm the Con-

Vienna, July 11.-wine growers and
wine sellers in Austria are alarmed
at a recent notable reduction in the
consumption Of their wares. They
are loud in their complaints. and they
inundate parliament with proposals
for help.
The principal causes of the falling
off in the consumption Of wine would
seem to be, first, the exorbitant prices
asked by both producer and inn
keeper, and second, the conditions of
Unemployment and half-time employ
ment still reigning in the country.
These have converted the wine lover
perforce into a water drinker.
