WRECK OF THE WASP

Charles Olmstead's smart little launch, the Wasp, was found down the bay at low tide, keeled over and partly submerged.
 Olmstead was extremely fond of the water and Of his trim little 1t.
 There had been heavy seas inc day before. Mrs. Olmstead, pros trated with grief said her husband had gone out for a little air, say, ing that he was just going 10 circle the bay. After his day in the office he liked to do this
 Investigation showed OImsteads s yachting cap, which he affected when out in his launch. washed up on the rocky shore a half mile away.
 At high tide the launch was raised and brought ashore, as il was in a channel from the landing and was menace.
 Robinson, from the insurance company. arrived to investigate.
 Olmstead, who was building contractor, carried an unusually heavy insurance. Naturally, in a case like this, there has to be an investigation. The body might wash ashore or it might get into the low CT bay currents and never come ashore.
 .Commodore" Perkins, so-called because he owned the landing and had been selling and letting boats for many Naars, examined the Wasp. He had been out with them when they found it at low tide and also to help them raise and bring it in at high tide.
 Its as plain as the nose on your face,' Perkins said "Olmstcad got off the channel a little, the tide was lowern he thought and the seas runnin' awful high, and his craft just come down kersmash on Church reef. That's an ugly little reef, sharp points to it. l reckon he was tryin' to head in when it Happened
 Robinson examined the smashed hull of the Wasp. He went out at low tide and examined Church reef.
 T can see that you are right he told Perkins, it could have hap pened exactly as you said
 Couldn't happen any other way" the old commodore de- clared. "He might have had a drop or two, but the seas was runnin' 90 high he couldn't have swum in if he had been cold sober"
 He had life prcservcrs,' Robin son pointed out.
 Sure, but chances are when th' Wasp smashed down on Church reef tn poor fellow was thrown out, a big sea hit him and there he was, away out, with his boat atuc' on tn rocks, It was a strong cbb tide and big seas. remember
 Robinson made his report 10 tho insurance company.
 But other investiga had been going on.

Discussing the prohibition outlook

out that in every country besides the

I'm visiting more than 100 coun-
tries in Europe, Asia, Africa and

found that the b%ootlegger is the one
making the greatest profits" she said.
She gave facts to prove that federal
enforcement, through the work Of the
Drys, has been brought up to 60 per

Keith, seven year old on of Super
intendent and Mrs. W. F. McClelland
of the North Dakota state training
school, was in a serious condition to-
day as the result Of a sudden attack
Of spinal meningitis.
The boys illness follows three 9TH
er similar cases at the training school
within the last four years.
Keith was taken to the hospital
late yesterday, and although he show
ed a slight improvement today, his
condition remains serious.
An investigation carried on by Off
Gals when the other cases occurred
at the institution showed that in two
instances, the disease va contracted
prior to entry to the school. Super
intendent McClelland and members of
the state board of administration had
taken every precaution to prevent a
recurrence. They weer at a loss to
understand how Keith became ev-
posed to the malady.
In the previous cases at the school,
a Grand Forks boy died from the ill
ness.

Death Slow to Help
Man Starving Self
In Suicide Attempt

Danville, va, June 6.-R-Today,
the day he had set for his death
through self imposed starvation,
found little change apparent in the
condition Of Frank z. Davis, farmer,
who has refused food for the last 26
days in an effort to end his life be-
cause, he says. he is tired Of living.
Although preceptibly weaker. Davis
still had strength enough to shift
himself about On his cot in the attic
of his two-room cabin. It was be-
lieved he would live several more
days.
Davis predicted a number of days
ago that death would overtake him
yesterday. but afterwards changed
his prediction to today.
Efforts to get him to eat have been
in vain. No action has been taken by
county authorities, despite strong
pubic opinion.
Authorities and visitors stated
Davis was obviously sane, and that
the few remarks he has strength
enough to make are rational.
