i | { | i | SECOND VESSEL BELIEVED LOST Sealer Southern Cross Car- ried Crew of 170. AMERICAN HELP IS ASKED Dominion Government Has Instituted an Extended Search for the Miss- Ing Ship and Has Appealed to the United States for Assistance. St. Johns, N. F., April 4—There 18 growing apprehension that the sealing steamer Southern Cross went down with all on board during the blizzard off Cape Race Tuesday. She carried a crew of 170 men and was heavily loaded with 17,000 seal- skins, trophles of a hunt recently con- cluded in the Gulf.of St. Lawrence. Hope for the safety of the vessel. based on a dispatch from Sydney, N. 8., which stated that'a wireless mes- sage had been received there report- ing the arrival of the Southern Cross, was dissipated when the government, after several hours’ inquiry, declared the Sydney report untrue. The government has instituted an extended search for the missing ves- sel and appealed to the United States for assistance. The Reld Newfoundland conipany’s steamer Kyle, which has a good wire- less equipment, was chartered for the purpose and has sailed from here, The American revenue cutter Sen- eca, which is doing iceberg patrol duty several hundred miles off the Southern coast, was asked to assist. The sealer Bellaventure, with her cargo of dead, is blocked in the ice 100 miles north of here and cannot arrive before Sunday. She went to the aid of her sister sealer, the New- foundland, when 120 hunters from the latter were caught by the storm while killing seals Tuesday and were unable to regain their ships. DEATH LIST MAY BE LARGER Forty of Newfoundland’s Crew Not Accounted For. 8t. Johns, N. F.,, April 4—Facing the certainty that more than sixty men of the sealer Newfoundland per- ished when caught in a blizzard last Tuesday and with the probability that the number of dead may greatly ex ceed that count, preparations to re ceive the bodies were being hurried here in anticipation of the early ar rival of the sealer Bellaventure with the first consignment of the dead and injured. It is belleved the Belleaventure is bringing the bodies of forty men wha met death in the ice floes. She is also reported to have on board thirty survivors of the disaster. It is not yet known what happened to the Newfoundland, the captain and re mainder of the crew. It is not be lleved the Newfoundland was crushed by the floes, but only further word from the Bellaventure will clear up the story. The fragmentary reports so far re. celved indicate that forty men of the Newfoundland's crew are still unac counted for. Some of these are be: lleved to have been saved by the steel whaler Stephano and this ves sel possibly is still at the scene of the disaster searching the scattered floes for the frozem bodies of others of the ill fated crew. SELECTIONS ARE CRITICISED Comment at Washington on Regional Reserve Cities. ‘Washington, April 4—With the fed- eral reserve districts designated President Wilson took the center of the stage in the currency problem. Until he names the five men to carry out the provisions of the act only formal work can go forward. The selection of the cities caused some criticism. The selection of two cities in one state—St. Louis and Kan- sas City—was particularly comment: ed upon. Also the selection of Dallas over New Orleans. So far as Dallag was concerned there seemed a gen- eral opinion that this selection was well -warranted, because of the terri- tory involved. New Mexico, Texas and the southern part of Arizona are so vast that the committee decided that a reserve city should be placed as near the center as possible. WOMAN AND CHILDREN SLAIN Husband and Another Child Escape Death by Fleeing. Little Rock, Ark. April 4.—Mrs Elihu Francis and her two children were murdered by an unknown slayer and her husband and another child narrowly escaped the same fate at their home near Arkadelphia, Clarke county. The Francis home also was set on fire by the murderer, it is said. Francis, according to the report, was awakened by his wife’s death cries and ran from the house, later re- turning to rescue one child. Ibsen’s Widow ls Dead.

Torreon, Mex., April 4—Torreon has fallen. The last soldier of General Refugio Velasco’s Magnificent army of 10,000 is elther killed, wounded, captured or in flight. The Constitutionalist army ot General Francisco Villa, one time bandit, is in undisturbed possession of Northern Mexico. The campaign against Mexico City, the capital, has already begun with the preparations that are being made for a march on Monterey and Saltillo. These two cities are the greatest ob- stacles to the rebels in their cam- paign that will now be waged with Mexico City as the objective point. Although the Constitutionalists have been in possession of the greater por- tion of Torreon since Tuesday after- noon, General Villa would not permit the announcement of the capture un- til all street fighting had ceased and the resistance of the garrison had been absolutely brought to an end. General Velasco, the federal com- mander, with a comparatively small bodyguard, escaped from Canyon del Guarache, where he had been en trenched since Tuesday. A small de tachment of cavalry was rushed in pursuit by Villa. The federals whc escaped constituted a comp‘uaknely small band. Fighting Lasted a Week. Fighting for the | s:ession of Tor- reon -has been aimost continuous since last Saturday night. The fed- eral troops offered a most desperate resistance, -astonishing the Constitu- tionalists by the ferocity of their de- fense. It is learned that they would have surrendered long ago, but their officers had told them that. if taken by the rebels they would be tortured in a most crvel manner before beine Found a Cure for Rheumatism “I suffered with rheumatism for two years anq could not get my right hand to my mouth for that length of time,” writes Lee L.

FIVE PER CENT NOT ENOUGH Eastern Roads Say Proposed Rate In- crease Is Insufficient. Washington, April 4—W.- C.. Max- well, general traffic manager of the ‘Wabash, at the hearing before the in- ferstate commerce commission on the proposed increase in freight rates, de- clared that a 5 per cent advance would only afford partial relief to the car- wiers and save the situation for a time. “The situation in Central Freight as- sociation territory,” he said, “is bad and growing worse. “I am confident that the 5 per cent advance would not meet our needs. It would save the situation for a time, for' | am satisfied that most of our Central Freight association roads will not be able to survive under- ex- isting rates.
