BARGES BREAKING LOOSE DURING GALE Two Picked Up Bat Third Still Drifts Fres Highland Light, Mass,, Jan. 26 (®) —Three loaded barges, broken from the tow of a Neptune Line tug, are wallowing in the high seas raised by a 65 mile northerly gale off here while rapidly dropping temperature makes their situation even more pre- carious. The tug, owned by a New York company, was fighting its way north in thegteeth of the gale when the towline snapped at about 9 o’clock this morning. The barges drifted rapidly away to the south while the crew of the tug made daring at- tempts to recover their charges. In the cold clear air the whole drama cor'l be watched from the high' bluff on the shore here al- though the vessels were about five mile off shore. Coastguardsmen held themselves in readiness to assist al- though conditions made it unlikely that they could aid. The watchers on shore had no means of knowing how many men were on the craft although the barges are of a type carrying from two to five men in each of their crews. The mercury was racing downward. At seven o'clock it was 28 degrees above zero. At 9 o'clock it was 16. Later the tug, which had been identified as the Jupiter, picked up two of the barges and headed south. The third barge, which had been at the end c: the string and apparent- ly broke away first, had hoisted a sall to obtain steerage way before the gale ~nd also disappeared to the south. It was believed here that the barge might find a safe anchor- age somewhere near Chatham. A similar situation arose with an- other tug and tow of three barges off the Pamet river this morning. The last barge of the tow snapped 1ts line and also hoisted sall to run before the wind. This tug was not identified byt .ore a white band high on a LBH funnel.

W. Michaux and others in Harris coun- ty, Texas, and resulted in a perma- nent restraining order which was af- firmed by the state supreme court. The injunction was made by the state court to apply throughout the United States, and enjoined the ne- groes from organizing “temples” or lodges where names, emblems and insignia would be used.
