 MARINE SPECIMENS

Some interesting forms of ma rine life have been brought up at the wreck of the Islander, and a species of coral is among them Diver Charles Huckins says that working around the sunken vessel is like exploring museum of na- tural history.
 He declares that there is an oc- topus in the neighborhood, al- though he has never seen it. Oc- topuses are said to dig holes, and he has seen a hole which he be- lieves houses one of the tenacled tribe of the sea.

It is rarely that one finds a

seven in a row. One becomes at

he gives you all he has every

But Chase Me is up against the
race of his life this afternoon.
Tackling Equipoise is a tremen-
dous task for any horse. The

PAY RAISE PLAN
PUSHED ANEW
BY International News Service


The slumbering Administration
plan to increase pay and de-
crease hours by 10 per cent was
being revived today as the Labor
Advisory Board completed a
brief advocating immediate in
stitution of the program pre-
sented last March by President
Roosevelt and Recovery Admin
istrator Hugh S. johnson.
General Johnson Shelved the
program when industrial leaders
declared industry was not able to
grant a general increase in
wages and a similar decrease of
hours. A few scattered indus
tries put the "Ten and Ten" plan
into operation soon after it was
advocated by the Administration.
The recent brief of the Labor
Advisory Board, under the chair
manship of DR.. Leon Marshall,
cites recent financial statements
to support its contention for
higher wages and lesser hours.
1t points particularly to the
April letter of the National City
Bank to show that profit margins
in industry have undergone a
remarkable improvement since
the 400 recovery codes became
effective.
The banks letter shows 1,475
companies reporting deficits of
$97,OOO,OOO in 1882 reported
profits of $661 900 900 in 1888. The
bank reported the lowest hourly
earnings were experienced in
May, June and July Of 1888, just
before the codes became effec-
tive. Hourly earnings after that
time, the board said, Increased
steadily until December, although
profits continued to mount"

sage of the Administrations hous-

Chase Me and Equipoise
Fight 1t Out Today

first water, one of the greatest
seen on the American turf.
There is the fork in the road.
Chase Me has never disappointed,
yet Equipoise is the acknowledged
king of them all. It is a problem
to pick the winner. The distance
in today's event is one mile, very
much to the liking of Chase Me.
Equipoise, although he holds the
world record for the mile run,
which he negotiated in 1874 2-5 at
Arlington Park, ILL.,, in 1882, never
theless usually prefers a longer
route.
Victory for Chase Me today will
clear the path to a very large ex-
tent in his desire to emulate the
immortal Man o. War.
But I'm afraid Chase Me will
find Equipoise a trifle too much
for him, even with the weight ad-
vantage. Therefore, think
Equipoise will make it his third
victory of the year.
However, I am not deserting
Chase Me completely. I have
never picked against him before,
but I hope he does it. And, too.
I cannot go back on Equipoise, the
gamest horse on the American
turf today.
A dead heat would fit in beauti-
fully now-perhaps the gods will
respond and give them both the
victory.

Challenges European Powers
To Follow U. S. Example
To End ChaCo War
By KINGSBURY SMITH
Nv International News Service

Secretary Of State Hull today
Indirectly challenged foreign ma
tionS, who have been accusing
the United States of blocking
peace efforts in the Chaco, to
follow the action of this Govern
ment in taking active steps to
stop the sale of war supplies to
the South American republics of
Paraguay and Bolivia.
Commenting on President Roose-
velt's action in seeking immediate
authority to prohibit the sale Of
American munitions to those two
countries, Secretary Hull said the
United States now hopes every
nation selling arms will do as
much acting as it does talking.
This followed the inference
made in the British House of
Commons earlier this week by
Stanley Baldwin, president of the
council that Americas refusal to
cooperate was responsible, for the
failure of negotiations to impose
an international embargo on the
shipment Of arms and munitions
to Paraguay and Bolivia.
Diplomats Called In
Diplomatic representatives of
the Latin American nations di-
rectly interested in the Chaco
war were called to the State De-
partment this week and notified
that while this government would
prefer their cooperation in an
arms embargo, it felt the time
mad come when the shipment of
American munitions to Paraguay
and Bolivia must be stopped.
This government felt the
United States should clean it's
hands of any allegations that
American interests were benefit
ing from the death struggle Of
the two little Latin republics.
Ready to Act Alone
The diplomats were told fur
ther that if, in the last analysis,
the United States had to act
alone, it was prepared to do so.
At the same time, it was ex-
planned by a high official that
the State Department construed
the arms embargo resolution
which the Administration is seek
ing to rush through Congress as
giving the President power to act
alone regardless of cooperation
from either the Latin American
or European nations.

Section LeveIIed; Three
Suspects Quizzed

NEWBURYPORT, Mass, May
10 Q.N.S0.-Buried in flames OF
suspected incendiary origin, the
western section of the business
district of historic Newburyport
suffered a million-dollar loss to-
day.
Twenty-nine factories. dwell
ings, stores and other buildings
were leveled in what appeared
to authorities to be an attempt
to raze a section of the city.
When the fire finally was un-
der control at a. M, 100 per-
sons were homeless and more
than 1000 jobless.
One man was questioned as a
firebug. Two others were under
suspicion.
RACES Eight Hours
F'iremen from 13 cities and towns
within radius of Is miles were
called to aid local firemen as the
flames ragged for more than eight
hours.
The main fire started in the
five-story Dodge Brothers shoe fac
tory on Merrimack Street. The
factory was of wood, and had not
been operated for several years.
Back of the main fire, which
caused a reign of terror, were three
other smaller blazes Of s-.spected
incendiary origin.
Spread to Shed
Leaping from the Dodge shoe
factory, the flames spread
through the empty John j. Col
Inns coal shed and swept on to
the Fisher Shoe Company build
ing.
Scores of firemen were over
come by smoke.
McKay's boat yard, including
several yachts and schooner
rigged craft, were destroyed.
AS the fire attacked Merrimack
Street, william Canepa, young
son of Louis Canepa, sick in bed
with penoumonia, was carried
out on a stretcher. Meanwhile,
his fathers store was being
levelled.
Rain of Sparks
A west wind sent up a shower
of embers, for a time raising the
threat of a general destruction of
the city. This was when the blaze
spread to Odd Fellows Hall.
Five dwelling houses, deserted
by their occupants; a store and
restaurant, the Keefe garage and
several houses near Green and
Merrimack Streets were among
other structures destroyed.

In the precinct cell today he
tore a toilet fixture from a steel
wall, entered a passageway behind
the cell block, climbed on top of
the cells and concealed himself.
When a policeman who had
gone to get sandwiches for an
other prisoner and chewing gum
for Harley returned, Harley
dropped to the floor and ran out.

Petition Circulated to Hold

Carrying a provision for imme-

Monday by the House Banking
and Currency Committee.
This was learned authorita-

Representative Prentiss M. Brown

Passage Is Predicted
What is also considered signifi-
cant is prediction by one of rhe
most prominent members of the
committee that the measure will
pass both the House and Senate
in it's present form.
The provision for relief of
closed banks will authorize the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
tion to expand it's capital and set
aside substantial portion with
which to purchase frozen assets
of closed banks.
Purchase of these securities will
enable the banks to reimburse de-

NEW YORK, May 10 G.N.S0.
With trading slowing down to an
almost absolute minimum, the
stock market worked slightly
lower today. Dealings proceeded
at the rate of a little more than
100000 shares an hour and the
total turnover gave indications of
falling below the quarter-million
share mark, making the session
even slower than that of Septem-
ber 9, when only 100000 shares
changed hands.
Such losses as did occur in the
apathetic dealings appeared to be
due as much to a lack of interest
as to any selling pressure.
Dupont and the other chemical
shares were inclined to work
slightly lower, apparently reflect
ing the Presidents munitions
message.
National Biscuit was again
subjected to a small amount of
selling which sent the issue
down fractionally.
The motors were quiet and
sluggish. A similar situation
prevailed in the steel and indus
trial shares. The oils appeared
on the tape only at infrequent
intervals and quotations were
slightly under yesterdays close.
Ran shares tapered off along
with the rest of the list, al
though activity here was very
much restricted. The utility
shares were sluggish and slightly
easier.

Toilette will receive the indorse-
ment for denomination and that
his brother, Phillip, will be in
dorsed for the governorship he
formerly held.
For 80 years the House of La
Toilette has carried on under
the Republican banner, more or
less, but it had always been the
plan Of the late Fighting Bob
La Toilette that third party
would be born.
Senator La Toilette and the
former governor were both on

was shown by the delegates in
the speech the Senator is to give

political fortunes are more
