MYSTERY WRECK
 DISCOVERED IN SUNKEN SEINER
Fishermen on Emma Sight Recently Foundered
 Craft at Pt. Hugh
NO SIGN OF LIFE
 SEEN ALONG SHORE
Boat Believed to Be Per- haps 80 Feet Long,
 Painted White

Another fishing boat has become victim of the sea- according to mystery story told in Juneau to- day by Capt. Tom Ness of the hail. butter Emma and fisherman Martin Borlick.
 Yesterday orning the men sighted the masts of sunken seine boat off Point Hugh at the south end of Glass Peninsula on Admiral ty Island, about AS miles south of Juneau.
 The men said the boat is "appar- ently about 60 or 30 feet long," and appears to be white. At half tide the mast top and boom was about four feet out of water, about 200 feet south of the light, close in- shore.
 Oil Coming Up
 Borlick said oil was still coming to the surface from the boat, but no sign of life was seen along the shore.
 A company flag flies at the mast head, Borlick sai is Tight in color and has green stripes on it."
 It was believed possible the boat had gone over the reef just off the point and had sunk when reaching deeper water s-'----.--~sss.s.- 1 Borlick saw the few feet of mast sticking out of the water while he was at he wheel and called Capt. Ness to the pilot house. Running in as close IS they dared, they were unable to see the hoat clearly in the water below, they said.
 The Emma was returning from a trip to Prince Rupert with it's last load of halibut for the season.
 HAIDA TO SCENE
 Tn the forma report lied by Capt. Ness with the U 5. Customs, he said the mast and boon of the sunkeu vessel were painted gray with a white top on the mast.
 The report also said it is believed the hull could be inspected at low tide
 The cutter Haida was to leave for the scene of the wreck at 1:30 this afternoon to investigate.

FAIRGROUNDS
BUDGET A SIX S
73 PCT. INCREASE.
Five-Year Plan Urged
As Safety Aid

Outlining a five-year plan OF
playground Improvements as an
inducement to keep Washington
children off the streets and out
of traffic dangers, Miss Sibyl
Baker, superintendent of District
Fairgrounds, today submitted her
1910 budget to the District Com
missioners. The 1910 budget eStl-
mate of S359.060 is 73 per cent
higher than the 1889 appropria-
ton of $2O8,100
Immediate needs only are con-
tanned in the 1910 estimates, she
explained. The five-year program
calls for an improvement outlay
costing $2,013,0O0. Although one
fifth of this amount would be
$402,60O, she estimated at $271,-
900 her immediate needs" in the
improvement project next year.
ASKS SPONSORS"
She urged the Commissioners,
as sponsors" to contribute $780,
900 to complete the 1910 share
of the plan with the assumption
that the WPA will furnish the
balance of $171,000.
Among other items in her
$271000 schedule of immediate
needs" under her five-year plan,
Miss Baker listed $4,000 for
fencing and landscaping eight
Fairgrounds, $4,000 for install
lation of 10 childrens play
grounds. 100000 for erection of
seven playground buildings, S12.-
600 for four new wading pools,
$4,000 for three shower basins
and 100000 for illuminating three
Fairgrounds.
In her long range, five-year
program Miss Baker called for
fencing 80 Fairgrounds, land
Scaping so others, construction OF
% children's Fairgrounds, erec-
tion of Is playground buildings,
Is wading pools, 6 shower basins,
two instruction pools. four SWIM
fling pools. illumination of 20 play
grounds and in addition grading
and Identification of Fairgrounds
and construction of storehouses
and shops.
Of the $359,060 she said she
wanted to run the Fairgrounds in
1910, Miss Baker would devote
$182, ,460 for personnel. This would
be an increase of $51 ,450 over the
1889 figure, she said, and would
be used to hire Is additional di-
rectorS and nine watchmen, and
for pay increases and provisions
for part-time workers and for ad-
miniStrative and clerical expenses.
NEW FAIRGROUNDS
Three of these, Miss Baker said,
have already been decided upon.
One would be the Rudolph at
Third, Ingraham and Hamilton
Sts. N. W.; another would be on
Thirteenth st. S. E., on a site
recently acquired by the Park
and Planning Commission, and the
third would be Turkey Thicket,
located in the vicinity of Tenth
st. and Michigan Ave. N. E.
Miss Baker earmarked $16,600
for swimming pools in 1910, as
against $11,300 allotted for 1889.
She said the $500 increase would
be used to hire one additional
guard for the Langdon pool, two
additional guards for existing
pools and four new guards for
wading pools at Hoover, Mcmillan,
Howard and Rose Park. This in
crease would provide also three
additional street showers, an ex-
tension of free swimming instruc-
ton and for repairs, plumbing
and supplies.

Bet they're bride and groom"
You goin' to bed? Where's

"snorin'. Oh, mother, it's a
happy omen our first customers
are newlyweds!"
WELL" said Ellen, when the girl
had gone, "she didn't take her
gloves off, So"
Huh" snorted John, "as If a
ring means anything these days" "
At 10:30 a touring Car de-
posted a middle-aged, plump,
pleasant woman with two children
and thin, dark man. They took
two cabins. There was excite
Lment before they settled down
and Ellen came in bubbling.
John grunted. At l a. m. he
rolled off the office couch to
greet eight young people piling out
from two cars.
In the end, John and Ellen saw
them bestowed in four cabins,
the sexes properly divided. At
Q a. m. John escorted two gentle
men, polite, but far from sober,
to two cabins.
1t was 4:30 when the sound of a
motorcycle woke him.

lice. I'm after a runaway. May
I see your register?"

At 10 p. m. a car stopped. A
young couple, almost as young as
Steve and Eleanor, came to the
farmhouse door. The girl kept her
head down. The red-faced young
man took the best cabin, 50 a

back to the west end of the bridge,
scrambled and half tumbled down
the embankment and ran hollering,
mothers check in the river" Pass
ers-by gathered around the scream
ing girl but could not understand
the excited gibbering tha child was
trying to tell them. SoI.e thought
she was saying her mother had
jumped into the river. /
Then to the rescue came one of
Postmaster John R. Coan's stall
warts-the well known widower
and American Legionnaire, Tela
Burt-who drives a mail truck
which stops in the vicinity of the
bridge.
Mr.. Burt attracted by the crowd
and the screaming child went into
the crowd, grasped the girl by the
shoulders, shook her roughly and
finally was able to obtain an in
telligible understanding of what it
was all about. Mitzie pointed out
in the river at a floating object
which she said was the elusive pay
check. Bystanders would not be-
lieve that the child could have kept
her eye on the check among the
numerous other objects floating in
the river and were skeptical.
Burt, however, did believe her and
asked two of the boat men on the
excursion steamer, Donna Mae"
which was anchored at the dock to
take a row boat and pick up the
bobbing object out in the river
which the tear stained little girl
insisted was mothers check"
The Donna Mae employees went
out to the middle of the river and
came back with the check. +

thanked them and hurriedly
climbed back up the hill to the
bridge almost running with the wet
envelope but holding it with both
hands. I

Sunday School Lesson

According to the scribes, 365 pro-
hibitions and 228 commandments
were recorded, in the Pentateuch,
and often the argument was rails
ed as to which of these was the
more binding. Jesus quoted Deu-
teronomy GAS, which was well
known to all the Jews, and fol-
lowed it with one which they had
often overlooked, Leviticus 1918.
The first commanded, first of all,
the love of God, and the second,
which was like unto it, and COM
plement of it, love of ones
neighbor What an answer. One
who fulfillS the first command
ment and who loves "the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength"
will surely love his neighbor as
himself.
The scribe approved, apparent
~ sincerely, the Lords answer,
and Jesus assured him that he
was not far from the Kingdom of
God Not far-but not having
accepted Jesus as the Son of God
he was still too far to be within
the Kingdom.
