Chicago, Feb. 6. Hundreds of help
less persons lined the shores of Lake
Michigan last night watching the fu
tile fight against death of three men
whose boat had been crushed by ice
floes. Once the meii gained a large
block of ice to which they clung un
til they slipped off. Then, encouraged
by the cries of cheer from the specta
tors who were unable to render assist
ance of any kind, the men fought on
and gained another ice cake where
they clung until, numbed by coid, they
slipped back into the water and were
drowned.
The victims were William F. Cann
ell, keeper of a water works intake
crib; Stephen Varley and a man nam
ed Wilson. The authorities said today
they would institute an investigation
into the mysterious errand that impell
ed the peiilous trip in a small boat. At
first it was supposed Cannell had at
tempted to take a physician to the
crib to attend his wife. Later, however.
two women were taken from the crib
in a police boat. They said Cannell and
his companions had gone after provi
sions.

London, Feb. b. While "respect
for his high character and fine

President Wilson well out of his
troubles in connection with Mexico,
Peru and Haiti, whose "bloodstained
administrations" challenge the presi
dent's policy of non-recognition, it
considers his position impracticable.
The newspaper continues:
"The expedient of sanctioning and
supporting civil war in a neighboring
state is a declaration of war in a
form which can hardly be reconciled
with the comity of nations. The dan
ger of the situation from the point or
view of the United States is that
there is no retreat with honor from
the uncompromising if impracticable
position President Wilson has taken

Benedict is reported in good t-onditiou

ever, are most unfavorable. With the
wind blowing CO miles an hour from
the east and a driving rain, the work
of rescuing those aboard the Benedict

nue cutter service for assistance and
the cutter Onondaga is being dis
patched from this port.
The Benedict, which hails from New

register. She was built in Bath, Me.,
in 1881, and Is owned by the Benedict
Manson Marine Company.
Late advices from Nags Head, where
the New Haven schooner Benedict lies
ashore, were to the effect that the en
tire crew of seven of the vessel had
been saved by breeches buoy and arc
now being cared for at the Nags Head

been driven well up on the beuch but
there is hope of saving her. The reve

Washington, Feb. 6. Dt mocratic
leaders were inclined to the view that
there would be no initiative in the sen
ate to repeal the tolls provisions and
that action wrould be awaited in the
house.
That vigorous opposition will then
develop still is apparent and expres
sion of this attitude is expected to de
velop in debate on the general arbitra
tion treaty with Great Britain. Sena
tors who oppose the repeal of the toll
clause argued today that the course
of the president in the matter might be
considered wise from an internation
al standpoint, even should the senate
check its purpose. They believe it
would at least have moral effect on
Great Britain for the president to
publicly proclaim his sympathy with
that nation's view of the tolls con
troversy even should the senate fail
to sustain him.
Representative Adamson, chairman
of the house interstate commerce com
mittee, already has a bill prepared,
once introduced which would repeal
the toll exemption clause.

Washington, Feb. 6. Fear of grant
Ing immunity to witnesses caused the
interstate commerce commission toj
make a nincomplete investigation of
affairs of the New Haven railroad, ac
cording to Senator Norris today, who
urged the senate to pass his resolution
for a new inquiry.
Senator Norris read newspaper
charges emphasizing that attorneys for
Morgan & Compauy, received $15,000
for drawing papers of a $1,000 sub
fidence in Chairman of the New Haven
'If half the inTormatlon made pub
lic about the New Haven transactions
is true eight or ten persons ought to
be in the penitentiary," interjected
Senator Borah.
Senator Cummins declared that, in
his opinion, congress had enough in
formation and should enact laws to
prohibit future transactions rather
than await further investigation. "1
predict the state of affairs here finds
a parallel in the capitalization of a
dozen railroads of the country," said
Senator Cummins. "We have known it
was going on for years and refused to
give the interstate commerce commis
sion power to regulate such matters."
Senator Norris declared he had con
fidence in Chairma nof the New Haven
Road, but contended he should do ev
erything possible to reveal '."-c past so
stockholders might be recompensed for
their losses. Mr. Borah jxpisesed the
opinion mat me attorney general
would act and referred to the recent
agreement between the department of
justice and the New Havea in which
the government did not waivj Its right
to proceed criminally.
T think the spectacle of five or six
men behind bars would have a more
powerful moral influence than any
legislation," he declared.

ernment. Duliskovic-s, a detective called to
give evidence of Pan-Slavic activities
in Hungary, quoted the sensational
phrase from Count Uobrinsky..l got
into touch with ConhT Bib: nsKy," he
said, "and the count entrusted me
with the task of enlisting the services
of educated Rutbenians ho werj to
join the Russian orthodox church and
after having been trained were to re
turn to Hungary to push the Pan-Slavic
propaganda among their compatriots.
Counx Bobrlnsky gave me $1,000 to
induce a deputy in the Hungarian par
liament to interpellate the government
on the petition of the Rutbenians.
Count Bobrlnsky, a member of the
Russian Duma, was called to the wit

admitted acquaintance w'.th Dulia

The court gave Count Bobiinsky per
mission to return to Russia , when ue
had concluded his evidence.
The trial has been in progress since
December 23. The principal defen
dant is Father Alexius of Mount Athos.
Great political interest has been
aroused by the proceedings a; it is
alleged that the sediticu movement
among the Ruthenians was promoted
and financed in Russia and that it
was carried out under the guise of a
propaganda to convert the peasantry
to the orthodox church but with the
ultimate object of enticin them from
their allegiance to Austri -Hungary.
