JIPANESE STEANER SINKING N SANDS Only One of Many Ships Lost on Pacilic Goast Copalis, Wash.,, Feb. 6 (UP)— Elowly sinking in the sands, the wrecked Japanese steamer Tenpai- #an Maru, stands today a monu- ment to the many lives lost in ship- wrecks along the Oregon and Wash- ington coast lines. The Tenpaisan Maru went ashore during a gale, Thanksgiving Day, 1927. The spot where the distress- ed steamer lies is at the mouth ot the Copalis river, a stream non- navigable by sea-going craft, a mile north of this little beach resort. Many a beachcomber and veter- #ns of the seas here told tales of shipwrecks on the North Pacific coast dating back to the wreck of the steamer Brother Jonathan, which' foundered July 30, 1865, a few miles south of the Oregon coast, V.ith a loss of 155 lives. Several years ago the steel barge W. J. Pirre foundered north of De- struction Island in the Giants' Craveyard, Today, along the rock bound coast, graves of a few of the victims can be found, buried there by members of the Quillayute In- dian tribe. ¥ Another story told is that of the wreck of the Dritish steamer Bawnmore, which struck the coast between Bandon and Cape Blanco in Curry County, Oregon, Sepfem- ber 1, 1895, In those days beach- combers lived along the coast line waiting for ships to wreck. Be. sides the clothing and foods sal- vaged from the Bawnmore, a street car, being shipped aboard the ves- wel from Glasgow, Scotland to Cal- 120, Peru, was brought ashore. 1t s said to be the first and only trol- ley seen in that section of the northwest, Neahkanie mountain, located on the Oregon coast, has heen visited by many ships in past vears, claim- ing as its prey, the lives of many men. The greatest loss of life, caused by the foundering of a vessel off this coast line, was the sinking of the American steamer Pacific, No- vember 4, 1875. The disaster-oc- curred approximately 30 miles south of (‘ape Flattery, with more than 235 persons losing their lives, With the coming of the coast rd, the loss of life from sea dis- in this section of the Pacific ast has been low compared with that of former years, Tn 1919, the trim, five-masted #chooner Jannette Caruthers, found- ered In a gale cight miles south of here with a loss of nine lives. The weather heatea hull of the once prond sailer is practically covered with the sand=. As the years roll by, the Tenpal- man Maru, too, will probably have R become buried in the sands of the beach, protecting Its remains from further battery by the lashing breakers. BANKS ACCUSED AS ‘BOOTLER BAGKERS Foderal Atforney Also Assails Gitizens Who Buy Liquor Boston, Feb. § UM—U. 8. Attorney Frederick H. Tarr, in an address on prohibition here last night, said he suspected several banks of deliber- ately financing men engaged in.the illegal liquor traffic. He also at- tacked “reputable citizens,” who pa- tronized bootleggers and thereby “fostered a school of crime with large cash awards.” The attorney spoke before the Professional Wo- men's club. “Financial institutions of this state in several instinces,” he sald, “are subject to the reasonable suspicion that they deliberately and with in- tent finance these men. These banks have every reason to know that their loans will be used not only for the purchase of liquor, but also for the criminals who bring in and market the goods. “If the bank clerk knows that his superiors are dealing with boot- leggers, proven criminals, and jok- ing with them over their mutual de- fiance of the law, why wonder if the clerk tries a little crime himself. Murder Lurks in Bottles “Almost every bottle of liquor served by our hospitable friends who prize personal liberty so highly has behind it a history of bribery or theft, and many times of violence and murder, Any prominent witness in an approaching trial of a boot- legger or smuggler; for instance, is likely to he blackjacked and killed ta save the gang. This method of defiance is common in at least one of our western cities and the fashion apparently is being established here."” The speaker pleaded for the edu- caton of public senitment to a lad “which is here to stay” and for a renewal of respect for law, conclud- ing: “In my opinion, the men who encourage widespread violation of the prohibtion law are of the very class whose prosperity and rests to the greatest degree universal regard for the law.

Tkis curely confirms confidenceinthe NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1929. GERMAN REPUBLIC 15 TEN YEARS OLD February 6 Birthday of Anti: Militaristic State Berlin, Feb. 6. (UP)—Germany today cclebrated the tenth anni- versary of its constituent assembly. On February 6, 1919, the national assembly, which was to give Ger- many its new coonstitutiop and thus place the formal seal of law upon the birth of the republic, met in ‘Weimar. . A period of chaos and violence had preceded this first attempt at a return to order. When the Ho- henzollern dynasty was overthrown in November, 1918, the time was not yet ripe for reconstruction. Too many forces had been re- pressed or aroused by the super- human tension of the four war years. So the first months of the German republic were character- ized by a complete “tohowabohu,” as Germans describe extreme tur- moil. ‘Then on February 6 the new Ger- man legislative body convened and, after days of feverish effort, pro- claimed a provisional constitution. Yet the temperature of political Ife still remained high and the rise of the young German republic was slow. Many obstacles remained in its path and many crises had to be overcome — local revolutions, putsches, political plots, currency inflation and the Ruhr invasion. Changes in Citisenry The sub-surfaced development of the republic, slow and steady, was more vital than those events which were cnacted in the limelight. Germany, which had been a na. tion of subjects, became a country of citizens. All branches of German life bear witness to this change. The German policeman is an in- stance in point. He no longer wears casket or sabre. Nor has he his former grim beard or martially trimmed moustache, but is just as well shaven as any Wall Street clerk. When you ask him for in- formation, he will not look at you with inquisitive cyes as though he suspected you of being a criminal. He will salute politely and help you as best he can. The fcrmfln who goes to the post office is no more in mortal fear of ‘“insulting” a government cmployee — an offence to which se- vere penalties were attached in this country. The man behind the window does his best to reduce your waiting time to a minimum, and there is no temptation of *of- fending” him. Greatest of all inconveniences: A foreign visitor has passport diffi- culties and has to go to the muni- cipal registry office. Dges he face imprisonment? By no means. He Chief officer “Reach for W will find a special official, desig- nated to attend to foreigvers. The official may stumble over the exotic names in the foreigner's passport, but he will remain good-natured. He will let the foreigner i. % his way as much , as possivic ® g pa- tiently persuade him to comply with German passport regulations. Examples of this sort could be multiplied. Unimportant as they are in themselves, they show, if taken in their entirety, that a new spirit has gained a footing in Ger- man life during the last decade. NAYY NEN ESCAPE FROM SUNKEN $+4 They Reach Surface Salely Three Times in Pirst Tests Abdard the U. S. 8. Mallard off Key West, Fla., Feb, 6 (M—Man's mastery of the sca was a step near- er today as the outcome of success- ful tests conducted yesterday aboard the submarine S-4. Three times men escaped from the submersible, by means of safety de- vices from a depth of forty feet of water., Thrice yesterday Licutenant C. M. Monson and Chief Torpedo Man E. Kolonskl staked their lives in the conquest of the, sca and were vic- torious. The 8-4 submerged with the men aboard. As the water began filling the compartmants, Kolonski donned his “lung.” which the new device is called, and when the submarine had reached the bottom, he cast off and soon appeared on the surface, none the worse for his experience. Then, before the compressed air chamber in which Lieutenant Mon- son waited was filled, he, too, don- Inl'd his “lung” and floated to the top. Thelr first cscape was from a specially constructed hatch, hut later they left from the motor room and the torpedo room. Lieutenant Monson, who develop- ed the device jointly with Chief Gunner C. L. Tibbals and Civilian Engineer Frank Hobson, told some- thing of their experiences on the ocean's bed. Escapes Prove Simple “The escape were even more simple than I expected,” he said. “The hatch fastenings were closed bhefore water hegan to flood the compartments, As the water rushed in, Kolonski and T moved up with the hatch, where an air pocket had been formed. As the chamber be- pan to fill 1 passed a huoy with a line attached to the surface, donned a lung and followed Kolonski, who had gone up ahead of me. “The escape could have been made by any one. “he difference between leaving from the torpedo room and other compartments is that a rkirt of steel is built on it to form an air pocket.” Lieut. Commander P. H. Dunbar, in charge of the tests, said that al- though the first trials were from a depth of only 40 feet of water, he v.as confident those today from "6 and 110 feet also would prove satis- factory. It these later tests are successful, Lieut. Commander Dunbar said, there will have been discovered 1 protection against a cgtastrophe such as befell the §-4 December “7, 1927 when forty men lost their lives. Commander J. B. Hupp of the Mallard, sent down several air lines during yesterday's test to frighten away sharks. “Ice Bridge” Forms On Lake Champlain Burlington, Vt., Ieh. 6 (#—Bur- lington residents, acclimated to the rigors of cold weather, readily ad- mitted that the atmosphere was a bit chilly yesterday when the “ice bridge” began forming across Lake Champlain from this city to the New York shore, a distance of about ten miles, This was the average date for the formation of the ice. Little open water was visible, KILLED BY PULLEY SHAFT , Holyoke, Mass, Icb. 6 (B— Whirled around a pully shafting in which he was caught while fixing a belt, Sylvester Wiersiecki, 35, was fatally injured yesterday in the American Writing Paper Company mills, Death was caused by a frac- tured skull, crushed chest and fractured right leg. He has heen employed at the mills for 10 years. o Relief from Gas . Stomach Pains o o Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness is due to stom- ach and bowel troubles. You can’t be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even those of years’ standing. Mr. Alexis Caya, 546 Hunt St., Woonsocket, R. I, says: “I was in such bad health I couldn’t work for I decided to try Tanlac. f.ined 30 Ibs., my yellow skin has cleared, constipation over- come and appetite returned.” If you suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, naus constipation, or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can’t sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tanlac. It is good, ure medicine, made of roots, gerbl and barks. Get a bottle from your dru[fist today. Money back if it doesn’t help you.
