ing vehicles involved In accidents or
violations OF the traffic rules.
The news of the back to- the-meter
movement on the part of the utilities
body came as distinct surprise. At
the public hearing on the taxi situation
two weeks ago its assistant engineer,
Capt, Walter Dunlap, was put on the
stand by the Commission. He intro
duced numerous coming maps, and 1t
was thought the Commission would
deal with the problem of the zone cabs
by setting up official zones and official
zone rates, Their present request in
dicates that they have either abandoned
the original idea or never held it very
seriously.
The proposed police regulation says
nothing about rates. The project is, it
is understood, for the Utilities Commits
sion to adopt schedule OF maximum
rates after securing the police regula-
ton, and then to seek to drive the zone
cabs back TO meters or out of business
by enforcement of the regulation.
At the hearing on the taxi situation,
the zone cabs we're opposed by most
of the industry, including many drivers
who have been compelled to adopt the
zone system on account of the COMPETE
ton The owners of the many fleets
of 35-cent cabs now on the streets
were represented by counsel, but did not
put in any evidence.

ST. PAUL, MINI, September ~
Four bankers came to Minnesota to
inspect rural properties with a view to
investment, but almost landed In jail
when an over-zealous constable at
Atwater, Mimi, had them arrested as
suspected bank robbers.
The four, Robert c.. Newman and
Sidney w. Sauers, st. Louis, and Mere
dith Caldwell and Brownlee o. Curry,
Nashville, had the apology Of the st.
Paul police department today and a
promise of greater hospitality on their
future visits.
The suspicious of the Atwater con-
stable were aroused when the bankers
hurried away in another Car after their
machine had been damaged in a col
lision near there. He promptly noti-
fed st. Paul police, who traced the
men to their hotel where three de-
tectives, backed by two stationed in
the hotel lobby for emergencies, entered
the room, searched the bankers for
guns and placed them under arrest be-
fore they knew what was happening.
They were hauled of to the police sta
ton, where st. Paul acquaintance
vouched for their integrity and con-
frmed their identities.
When the error had been adjusted
the bankers assured Police Chief
Thomas Brown they had nothing but
kindly feelings for the st. Paul police
department.

CAPTAIN TELLS OF RESCUE.
Describes How Crew Of Our Son"
Fought for Lives.

by the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 27.-The dra-
matte story OF how seven men, the crew
OF the lumber schooner Our Son., hat
tIed against death for hours during the
gaze OF Friday and finally were rescued
as tnelr snip sank, was related tonight
by Fred Nelson, captain, of the schooner.
Capt, Nelson and his men arrived In
Chicago tonight aboard the freiRhter
William Nelson, which stood by and
rescued them during the height Of the
storm.
The storm srtuck us about 8 O'Clock
Friday morning a few hours after We
had left Sheboygan with a cargo OF
pulpwood," said Capt. Nelson. 1T stead
lily mounted in intensity until 30-foot
waves were breaking over the cor6wood
pned on deck The water soon began
to work into the hold and it was nec-
essary to start the pumps.
Part of the cargo was washed ayav
around noon and the water began to
rise faster BY 2 o'clock It was plain
that we were losing ground, and I gave
the order to hoist a distress signal
that is, an inverted flag.
"A short time later the William Mel
son came In sight, but the seas were so
high 1t seemed impossible to expect aid
from her. Things looked bad then"
Capt. Charles II. Mohr of the William
Nelson then took up the story. telling
how he circled twice around the schoon-
err asking that it be headed into the
wind so he could bring his boat near.
We then worked closer and closer"
related Capt. Mohr. until our bow was
only a few feet from the schooner. The
waves were rocking both boats badly,
but fortunately they did not crash to-
gether. Finally the gap became so small
that the men from the schooner were
able to Jump across The schooner sank
about so minutes later"

LAKE SHORE HUNT:
FOR FLYERS VAIN.
Coast Guards and Posses in
Search After Discovery of
Wrecked Plane.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CONNEAUT, Ohio, September ~
Scores Of men and boys, Coast Guards
men and sheriff's duputies spent today
searching the shore line of Lake Erie
from Conneaut to Ashtabula but failed
to md the bodies OF William McNulty,
Columbus salt manufacturer, and viii
lard Parker OF Cleveland, his pilot.
whose wrecked plane was found miles
west of here this morning.
The cabin of the plane with wings
and motor gone. and cover ripped from
1t, was wedged in a clump of fallen
trees at the lake edge and partly hidden
by an overhanging cliff. For mile
along the shore parts of the plane were
picked up, but there was no trace OF
the bodies.
Coast Guard boats went out from
Conneaut and Ashtabula with their
crews closely scanning the water.
Three airplanes from Cleveland made
a search from overhead.
w. Z. Allen of the Curtis-Wright
nylng service, who has led the search
for the men since they took off from
the Cleveland Municipal Airport at
80 am. Wednesday, said the condition
OF the safety belt fastenings in the plane
indicated the men might have been
thrown out.
The clock In the cockpit stopped at
2;29, indicating that the plane had
been in the air hardly an hour.
Allen said Parker was inexperienced
as night flyer and expressed belief
that In the darkness the plane struck
the water, hurled its occupants out and
crumpled to pieces.
The men had told Cleveland airport
officials they were going to Miffinbure,
Pa, by way of Buffalo, but 1t is be-
lieveo they had other plans, possibly
to ny to a Canadian city.
The wives Of the missing men we're
distracted when they learned Of the
nnding OF the wrecked plane. Mrs.
Parker, expressing hope that her hus-
pane was stu alive, was brought here
from Cleveland in an airplane, but re-.
fused to view the wreckaee.

the Southern Association. Such rates
also have been published by the Great
Northern, the Northern Pacific, the
Union Pacific and the Chicago Mil
waukee, st. Paul and Pacific lines.
Thus all the area has the benefit
OF such rates, based on miles per car
load.
Cautious In Predicting.
Nobody is willing to predict when
there will be rain in sufficient quantity
to do any good, except that there is
certain to be a return to normal with
the adjustment of high and low pressure
areas in the northern hemisphere with
the coming of Winter But there is
no reason to believe that this will mean
greater than normal rainfall.
The Fall equinox, when the sun
crosses the Equator on its southwark
journey, has generally been associated
with storms. This year it has passed
without any generally distributed rain
fall. There was never any real reason
for the association, says Prof. william
J. Humphreys of the United States
Weather Bureau. It is just another of
the weather legends. probably owing
Its origin to the West Indian storms
which usually come in September.
Normally in this part of the country
October and November are the dryest
months OF the year, when conditions are
most unfavorable for rain, according
TO the tables of the Weather Bureau.
Many suggestions still are being re-
ceived for causing rain, all OF them i'm
practical. Even If everything claimed
by most Of the inventors was true, ac-
coYding to DR.. Humphreys, the rain
caused would be very slight and tremen-
dously expensive. Even the most prac-
tical proposal of ALTO carry water
and dump 1t on fields and gardens--is
altogether too expensive. It would re-
quire l13 tons of water to produce the
equivalent Of one inclakof rian over an
acre
