Ship Stuck Tight
in Green Bay Canal

Sturgeon Bay, Wis. - The Standard
Oil steamer W. T, Cowan, laden and
bound for Green Bay, is aground here
in the canal leading to Green Bay. The
vessel, making its first run OF the sea-
son, became fast when half way thru
the passageway late yesterday. How
ever, the canal is not blocked and car
Ferry steamers are able to get by the
boat. Ann Arbor carferry No. 8 was
unable to free the freighter after sew
eral attempts last night. A tug from
Whiting, Ind., is on its way here to aid
in the attempt. Because the vessel is
drawing 16 feet of water and sound
ings show Is, it is believed that it is
held fast on q boulder in the canal.
The hull is thought to be damaged for
the boat was leaking slightly early
this morning.

Blue Ridge Fires
Driven on by Winds

Blackburg, Va. The flames of Is
forest fires today continued to gnaw
their way unchecked over the Blue
Ridge mountains along the Virginia
and West Virginia line in the vicinity
of the proposed new Shenandoah Ma
tional park.
The most serious Of the fires burned
along a five mile front in the valley
between Gap and Bush mountains.
Driven by a steady wind, it ate its
way rapidly toward the James river.
Though much valuable timber has
been destroyed, no other losses have
been reported. The strenuous efforts
of fire fighters yesterday in setting
back-fres saved mountain homes and
sawmills menaced by the flames. De-
spite the fact that their efforts to
bring the fire under control had failed
voluntary fire fighters and coast ar
tillerymen, sent to the scene yester-
day continued their arduous labor
through the night.

An eX- ample of this was seen last week when Pilot Wien made his first trip to Nome Creek, about 50 miles from Chatanika, to pick up and convey to the Fairbanks hospital, an oldtimer, Charles Updyke who was suffering from blood poisoning, being in an extremely serious predicament, ne cessitating immediate attention. On this pioneer trip tip of the propel- Tor was broken off when it came in contact with a protruding rock while making the landing on prominence about two miles away from the cab in of the oldtimer, which was the only available spot the aviator could pick out, from the air.

Rodebaugh, to safe guard against serious sickness or trouble, which may visit them al any time, these individuals should take a few days off from their reg. ular work and clear off a field suf ficient in size to enable an air craft to make a landing with all due re gard to safety. During the long win ters it is also stated, by the clear ing off of many of these individual fields, the burden of isolation will be lifted considerably, by the possible frequent visitation of the planes. For the purpose of assisting in thecons of landing facilities the Tel -y mas appropriated the sum of $10,00O this year, fifty per cent of which is to be expended on fields, and not to exceed s1,000 pel field. It is believed s10,00O has been approved for like work next year. MT.

Hart Issues Statement.

OLYMPIA, May 29 (P.-Former Governor Hart issued a long state ment today in answer to Haskell's affidavits, saying he called on Kelly in October, because he did not want to leave the banks affairs for his sue cessor to toll with, and merely said he thought they ought to have six per cent of all money handled. This would be about S2OO,OOO to divide be- tween the liquidator and the lawyer. l immediately protested and said, My God, Kelly, with that man could live for years and would not have to hunt a job.'"
 Hart said he directed Kelly's atten- tion to the laws against the dissipa- tion of funds of defunct banks, and Hart then related a visit of Haskell and Kelly to the governors office in Olympia. He declared Hart said. Kelly tells me you want the banks affairs closed and desire part of the fees"
 Hart said he replied, T want the business closed up but you can't pay me damn cent"
 He said he had agreed with Has kell that the Putnam offer was too low and added, T never did intimate or insinuate to the supervisor of bank ing what fees he should allow, and Haskell and Kelly had no reason to believe they could pay or give me anything for their appointments"
