SHIP SINKS;
TWO DIE,
5OSAVED

CHICAGO, Oct. 30 (LN.S.).
Two men are known to have
been lost and at least three
others are missing as a result
Of the sinking Of the steamer
Wisconsin off kcnO>ha today
in one of the most terrific
gales that ever ragged on Lake
Michigan.
More than 80 persons were
rescued in thrilling battles
with the waves.
Among survivors rescued by a
Coast Guard crew was First Mate
Edward HalVorson, of ChicaIo. no
trace had been found OF Captain
Morrison.
Captain Believed Lost
One man slipped from his life
belt and was drowned and another
was crushed to death. The man
who slipped from his life belt IS
believed to he Julius Buschman of
to death between a life boat and the
side OF the sinking vessel has not
been identified.
Search of the heaving waters
failed to reveal the body of the
captain, and he is believed to have
perished.
Fighting the giant waves and a
50-mile northeastern gale, the Cliff
ford Chambers came upon Is MEM
bers Of the crew, clinging desper-
ately to a, life boat. Other crew mem.
bers were found floating in the
churning waters and were rescued
with great difficulty.
Survivors Taken Ashore
The Clifford Chambers succeeded
in making kenOsha Harbor, and
as it doCked many inert forms We're
taken to shore apparently lifeless.
The men were rushed to hospitals.
where, it was hoped pulmotors
might save them.
Several Of the men had crushed
arms and legs and almost all were
bleeding profuseIy from wounds.
The sinking Of the Wisconsin was
the second major disaster on Lake
Michigan within a week. Only
few days ago the or ferry Mil.
waukee succumbed to the fury of
a gale and sank with loss of
50 lives.
Sixty persons fought for places in
the Winconsin's life boats as the
alarm was spread that the ship could
not make the harbor. which was
within plain sight OF the laundering
ship.
SOS calls We're sent out at 1:30

There was no hysteria, however.

RULES LAX,
INQUIRY
SHOWS

SeYenty-One persons had ac-
cess to the key which liberated
William Wilbur Hand, con-
victed Ohio bank bandit, who
calmly walked out of the Fifth
precinct station last Wednes-
day morning.
1t was learned today that any per
son attached to the precinct could
readily have obtained the keys to
the cell block and the cells at any
time, and that no record Of any
kind was kept as to who had the
keys or when or for what purpose.
There are 70 members OF the
police department attached to the
precinct, and one civilian employe.
The civilian employe is colored
tanitor.
According to the practice within
the police department, any member
of the precinct staff can go up to
the deck clerk or station man,
custodian OF the keys, announce
that he wants to go into the cell
block and receive the keys. He
needs to give no reason for his de-
sire to so into the cells nor is it
incumbent upon him or customary
for him to announce the name of
the prisoner he wants to talk to.
The ianitor, too. uses the keys in
going into anG out OF the cell room
to clean it up.
1t would not be necessary for any
None to take the key out of the sta
tlon house in order to have provided
Hand with a means OF escape. All
he would have had to do after going
back into the cell room would be 10
take piece OF moderately soft wax.
or soap, and make an impression Of
the key.
How 1t Could Be Done
Then he could have left the cell
block, handed in the key to the man
on duty at the desk, and walked out
and had duplicate key made from
the impression in wax. soap or any
other pIiahIe substance.
IT can readily be seen that this
duplicate koN could easily he
handed IN Hand. This could he
done either on another visit to
the cell block, or, in order to
avoid suspicion, 1t could have been
passed to the prisoner through
the window on the alley outlined
In The Times yesterday.
Inspector Albert J. Headley IS
TODAY continuing his investigation
OF the mysterious escape Of the
alleged desperate.
Thus far he has submitted two
written reports to Major Henry
G. Pratt. hut no action has been
taken on either one by the police
chief.

BY stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 29.-Two
new improved highways for Montgomery
County, designed to augment the net
work in the territory adjacent to the
metropolitan district viii not be built
as result of the action of State
Senator Eugene Jones of Kensington,
in reporting unfavorably on the meas
ures to the Senate last night.
One of the bills would have authorized
the Montgomery County commissioners
TO cut new 120-foot roadway, extend
ing Connecticut avenue from its present
terminus in KenSington to Georgia ave-
nue.. at Aspen, thus providing a direct
route from the area west of Rock Greek
to Baltimore. The other measure would
have authorized the commissioners to
widen and improve by 20-foot con-
crete roadway the old Viers Mill road
which would have made direct and
short cut from Georgia avenue at
Wheaton to Rockville.
Both measures originated in the
House, were unanimously reported by
the delegation there and unanimously
adopted. At the hearing given by Sem
ator Jones on Wednesday, one voice was
raised specifically against the bills.
One bond issue has been allowed TO
pass the Senate by the State Senator.
1t was introduced by him and authorizes
the Montgomery county commissioners
to issue bonds to the extent of $4,000
for the purpose of building pedestrian
underpass below the Baltimore &c Ohio
railroad tracks at Boyds. The measure
has yet to pass the House.
The House Yesterday passed the bill
providing for the taking of police CEN
sus Of Montgomery County one year be-
fore each election.

FRESH-WATER CLAIMS

Nutritive Fluid Produced by Mis-.
sourian Will Be Used in Mis-

COLUMBIA, Mo. (R.-A steady, Sc
lected supply of fresh water clans, the
raw material Of the 100000 pearl
button and novelty industries, will be
made possible by propagation and re-
stocking program to be undertaken by
the Federal Government in Mississippi
Valley streams.
A process developed by DR.. M. M.
Ellis, professor of physiology at the
University of Missouri, removes much
of the uncertainty from the early life
of the mussel Millions of tiny specks
which grow up to become the best
pearl button stock available will be
brought through the first two weeks Of
life in nutritive fluid discovered by
Ellis, and safely deposited in river beds.
When left long during his first two
weeks life the young clam or musSel
leads an uncertain life. Only few
of the millions left by each mother
clam to shift for themselves in the
depths can find fish, and fewer the
right kind of fish. on which to live the
IL to 20 days of their early parasitic
existence. Their fish-ride over, the
minute clans find growing beds by hit
or-miss method.
Experimental paintings have been
successful at the Bureau of Fisheries
fresh water biological station at Fair
port, Iowa. In five to eight years the
clans develop shells that bring. for the
best quality, $125 to $3.50 a ton. The
propagation IS not costly process,
Ellis says.

JOINING" Is DECRIED
BY OFFICIAL OF CLUB
Women Belong to Too Many Or
CARNATIONS Having Same Pur-
pose Is Criticism.

DETROIT CP.-women join too
many clubs in the opinaon of Mrs. Carl
B. Chamberlain, herself a prominent
club woman and president of the De-
troit Federation of Women's Clubs.
Many women pride themselves on
the number of clubs to which they be-
long" says Mrs. Chamberlain. lone
woman of my acquaintance joined three
different clubs within year. Two of
the organizations meet at the same hour
on the same day and all of the three
have similar purposes and interests.
This woman cannot hope to be Of real
value to any one of the three without
neglecting the other two.
IF several clubs have different pur-
poses woman is justified in joining
them, but to become a member of a
club with no definite object in view ex-
cept that of being away from ones
home every day of the week is to my
mind one of the most destructive forces
that women's clubs will have to combat
at the years go on. The promiscuous
joining of clubs is slowly but surely be-
coming a habit that will eventually
have to be dealt with"
