26 Feared Lost

ABOARD S. S. EUROPA, IN MID
ATLANTIC, Feb. 27.-The luxury
liner Europa and two other rescue
ships abandoned the search for the
British freighter Blairgowrie today
and continued on their courses.
Their masters had concluded that
the Blairgowrie went down, carrying
26 men to death.
Only one faint hope remained
that the crew of the Blairgowrie had
taken to lifeboats and were afloat
somewhere on the Atlantic which
was whipped by gales of hurricane
force. The Cunard-White Star liner
Olympic will pass through the
stretch of waters where the storm
broken freighter presumably sank.
The Olympic wireleSsed that she
was keeping a sharp lookout for
boats or wreckage.
But this hope was of the vagueSt
kind. Masters of the Europa, the
United States liner American Bank
er, and the Dutch ship, Blommers-
dix were convinced the Blairgowrie
was down with all hands before
they ordered their vessels back to
their courses. They had searched
the vicinity to which they were
summoned by the Blairgowrie's fran
tic SOS calls, from l a. m. until
well past dawn.

Buy Livestock Skinny,
Sell Them Fat -That'S
the Hope of Eli Lilly
BY VINCENT LYONS
Tinnes Financial Editor

I'LL LILLY, head of the firm Of
Il Eli Lilly & Co., hopes to buy
livestock skinny and sell them
fat"
This was his confession today
when questioned as to his recent
acquisition of land. Mr.. Lilly has
virtually monoplized the farm real
estate market in Hamilton County
in the last few months, having
bought about 300 acres during that
period.
These land deals, he said, are
in no way connected with the &C
tivities of Eli Lilly e. Co., and are
purely an individual enterprise.
It had been sur1nised by some that
the acquisition of the various par
GELS of land was preliminary to
the Inauguration of an expansion
campaign by the Lilly company.
This idea, however, is spiked by
Mr.. Llly's remarks.
Yesterday the head OF the Lilly
enterprises purchased a 90-acre
tract just south Of the John Owens
field, bringing his total land hold
ings in this territory to approx
imately 800 acres.
Mr.. Lilly declared that the pur-
chase of this area will punctuate
his activities in the real estate
market for the time being. He
has DO further transactions in
mind.
Questioned as to whether his
activity in buying this land for
the purpose of raising livestock

that it would take some time to

The personnel of the commits

political affiliations, the mayor said.
The commission will pass upon new

The merit boards, composed of
ranking officers of both depart

demotions. The safety board and
the mayor will select a panel of
men to take entrance examinations
and also will act as a court of ap-
peal on merit board cases.
