All towns, coast guard stations and Ughthouses have been warned to be o@ the lookout missing: boat. Several smaller craft, which could not be communicated with by wire- less from shore because of the dis- tance from the nearest radio station, were believed to be proceeding to the scene of the wreck. Hope was expressed that one of these vessels, in cruising about the scene of the disaster, may catch sight of and pick up the missing’ boat somewhere within a score of miles of the wreck. Wireless reports from the Cétdova toncerning the disaster have thus far been somewhat incoherent and meager dwing to the distance from the scene of the wreck of the near- ext wireless stations, The possibility that the missing boat may be able to “live” in the open sea and eventually be picked up or reach land, however, was con- Bidered. The Canadian Importer, Bfreighter of 3,899 tons, loaded with 3,500,000 feet of lumber, sailed from Vancou- ver, en route to Melbourne, Aus- j tralia, She was built in the Cough- lin. yards im} 1919 by the Canadian governmegt and .was on her third trip to Australia, CAPTAIN BISSETT IS THE SKIPPER Capt. Cart Bissett, of Vancouver, was her skipper, The rescue ship Cordova, a freighter, was en route from Hono- lulu to Portland when, at 2:30 a. m., she received the “SOS” sent out by the Canadian Importer. The short time necessary for her arrival indicates that the positions of the two vessels were close. The scene of the disaster is given as latitude 3949 and longitude 13 . which is about 400 miles off- shore from Blunt's reef, near Eureka, where the ill-fated passenger steamer Alaska went ashore on August 6, taking a heavy toll of life. As no land of any sort and no dangerous reefs exist near the scene of the sinking, it was believed to- day in marine cireles that either the shifting of the lumber cargo, a large part of which was reported carried on the decks, or else some serious fault in the vessel's construction, which, under the weight, caused her | to spring her plates fore and aft, was the cause of the catastrophe, The Canadian Importer was a sis- (Turn to Page 7.

French and his confederates to line the vaults of the nation’s banks with bogus securities narrowly averted a panic, Assistant District Attorney John Clinnin announced. Examination of papers seized in the Milwaukee apartment of Alva Harshman, French's secretary, who has confessed, revealed $3,000,000 worth of notes and securities. Arrest of Z.

Harshman's cache showed $500,000 worth of notes signed by Davis and $2,500,000 in notes signed by Harshman and endorsed by the Development Securities company, of which French was head. “We interrupted French just in time to prevent a panic among many banks and over forty industrial con cerns,” said Clinnin, S.
