SISTER SHIP OF BLACK DUCK FEARED SUNK BY CUARDSNE

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. Is.
UNso-Jury exoneration for

NEW LONDON. Conn, Jan. Is.
uN.S0-That another rum boat
was fired on by Coast Guards
December 90 near the eastern
passage to Narragansett Bay at
the same time guards killed three
men on the Black Duck, was
reported here today. Petrol boat
241 was said to have sent a
barrage on another rum runner
but heavy fog prevented a report
Of "the success Of the fire" re-
ports said.
Coast Guard officers here did
Qot deny second boat had been
Erred upon, but they refused to
comment on the reported incident
and said no official report on the
second firing had been made.
Officer Confirms Search
Questioned as to this, Lieut..
r. G. Jewell, Of the Coast Guard
staff at New London, confirmed
the wreckage theory.
"Our boats are looking for
possible wreckage from a rum
runner which was fired on by
the C-G-241 at the time the Black
Duck was SUNK" he said. There
wOre four boats in the melee, our
patrol boats 900 and 241 and two
rum runners.
almost at the same time as
the 290 fired on the Black Duck
the PAL fired on another speed
boat, which, like the Black Duck,
did not respond to our signals. It
was foggy. After the firing from
the 241 the second Speedboat was
swallowed up in the fog. We
do not know whether it escaped
or whether it was sunk. Our
boats have been making very
diligent search for possible wreck
age for many days, but no clues
Is to its fate have been found.
mo official report Of the firing
has been made by the boatswain
Of the 241."
Boat Put In Quarantine
Efforts to question the crew of
the C.G+241 have been unavailing
so far. The boat is at the Sec
ton base here, but was put in
quarantine today, presumably for
some communicable disease.
Lieutenant Jewell pointed out
that the presence of the second
rum runner had been mentioned
by him at the time the Black
Duck was brought to port, but
in the excitement over her case
the sister ship was forgotten. The
normal crew of such boats is
four, and there is little chance
that their fate will ever be known.
as the crew are not likely to
talk, If they survived.

 The importance of such a dis covery can be understood by everyone, because few persons are exempt from the discom- fort and often serious conse- quences which arise from merely catching cold" It is estimated that the value of time lost from work in Ameri- can industry on account ol common colds is not less than two billion dollars a year.

mostly children, through the explosion of fireworks in cele- bration of the Glorious Fourth on the preceding day.
 While casualties of this kind still occur, their number has been reduced to a small fract- ion of those in former years. On the Fourth of July, 1905, no less than 182 persons were killed outright and 4,994 were wounded. By 1910 the number of killed had fallen to 131, in 1915 to 40, in 1928 to II, while last year only 7 deaths were reported, and a few more this year.
 This illustrates the fact that sometimes safety warnings fin ally accomplish the desired re- suits, but the process of edu- eating the public to a realizat- fen of even the most obvious dangers is a slow one. And it seems that when one menace to life and limb has been brought under control a new one arises to take it's place. Today the outstanding menace is the au- tomobile, which last year took a toll of more than 30,000 killed and nearly million in- jured in the United States.
 Most of these deaths and in juries were as unnecessary as the casualties from fireworks were 25 years ago. Will it take 25 years more to develop a generation of careful automo- bile drivers?

Unemployment Plan

Widespread unemployment, caused partially by generally unsatisfactory economic con- ditions throughout the world and partly as result of the replacement of hand labor by machines, is giving industrial ists as well as the unemployed grave concern. Some manu- lecturers already have adopted forms of unemployment insur- ance, whereby workers tempo rarily laid off receive stated amounts during the period of enforced idleness.
 A plan which is attracting much attention just now is that offered by the General uElectric Company to it's en-
 eoyess, whereby they would contribute one per cent of their wages to the insurance fund, the company to contribute an equal amount. Employees would contribute 50 long as they were earning 50 per cent or more of average full time wages. When laid off they would receive fifty per cent of the wage earned when work ing. The company would hold the insurance fund in trust, paying five per cent. on the money so held.
 New rules for the better reg ulation of employment have al so been established by the company, the idea being to dis tribute the work among the employees under various con. ditions in such manner as to avoid lay-offs as much as pos sible. It is a good idea and the results will be watched with in- terest by both employers and employed.
