authorities the power to enforce the
law citing the wave of strikes that
=. is sweeping over the Nation. He point

order"
The exercises were held under the
auspices of the Ladies of the Grand

cate that the tug may not return

AS soon as notice was received at
this port the Warbler was gotten
in readiness, paraphernalia for
the wrecking crew placed on
board, extra crew of 10 wrecking
men were assigned, and the YES

scene word was received that con-

than at first anticipated.
Later advices were to the effect
that the vessel was breaking up
and the Warbler was devoting
time to salvaging the cargo. The
latest news, received this week, is
an announcement that the crew
of the Cauto has been sent home,
and that the Warbler may not be
