The discovery here removes the last hope as there is little doubt that the wreck is the Sea Hawk, The crew consisted of Donald Walker, of Scriba; Willlam McEl- hone and Norman Mallett, of Os- Wego, and a Canadian named Gun- yan, They were on their way to Cobourg on a trial trip when they disappeared. VOICE PROTEST ON TRAIN SERVICE Inconvenient Schedule from Toronto Cause of the Agitation _ North Bay, Feb, 2--Toronto prides itself on being the greatest Canadian centre for the financing of mining ventures, the city whose market quo- tations are looked to daily by holders of securities of Canadian mining companies, It has also been a busi- ness and holiday mecca for the popu- lation of the North, and the connec- tion has been in the past increasingly profitable to both sides concerned, The question is, Can Toronto main- tain this pre-eminence when it is discriminated against to. the extent that four trains a day come from Montreal and Ottawa to North Bay and only two from Toronto? It has been found distinctly detrimental to the interests of Toronto, and in a visit to the principal mining districts tributary to the T, & N.O. Railway the writer has found a general de- sire for a readjustment of railwa schedules in order to serve the North eneral satisfaction with the yen by the T. & N.O. Rail- way, but it has i as they are provided both from the East and the South. Judging by statements made by railwaymen, the traffic will not bear more than these three trains daily, but there could be a better service from Toronto to North Bay so that the Canadian Na- tional Railways trains from Montreal could up passengers and mail from Toronto and so give the latter city and jts customers and represen- tatives in the North a more even break with Montreal. On one point there is absolute un- animity in the North. Nobody likes leaving Toronto at 9 o'clock. It spoils the evening most thoroughly for resident of the North as well as for citizens in Toronto who desire to travel North. SHORTER DEER-HUNTING SEASON NOT FAVORED LINCOLN ys.

The Gen- eral Education Board of New York City has given the necessary funds to finance the expedition, the Uni- versity said. Excavation is to be- gin this spring with Maurice Pil- let, the famous archaeologist, in charge. The Syrian Government has given Yale a six-year conces- sion for the work, . Prof. Michael I. Rostovizef!, Sterling professor of classical ar- haeology and ancient history at Yale, told how Dura became known to scientists, In 1920 a detach- ment of British soldiers stationed on the Middle Euphrates in Syria, in a place called Salihieh, inform- ed Miss Gertrude Bell, noted Orl- entalist, of the discovery of some beautiful frescoes in the ruins of what had been a fortified eity, Miss Bell immediately informed Prof. James Breasted, Director of the Oriental Institute in Chicago, who hurried to the place. When he arrived the soldiers were about to' depart, Having only twenty- four hours in which to work, he photographed the frescoes and made colored copies of them, and drew+plans of the ruins, pon returning to Europe, Prof, 'asted reported this discovery the French Academy. At that [@7.:3-Pce.

He dug there with the help of the French Foreign Legion, and the discoveries he made, Prof. Rostovt- geff sald, were startling. ruins of temples, fortifications and elaborate graves, Prof. Cumont discovered most interesting fres- coes of a new type, He also found fine sculptures, scores of inserip- tions of importance to elassicists, and about a dozen of Greek, Latin and Aramic parchments, Historical investigation of the place showed it was an ancient Sy- rian fortress originally named Du- ra, later replaced hy a Macedonian military college, called Eurcpos, a' about 300 years before Christ. "Very little is known of the cities which were created by the efforts of Alexander the Great and his successors," Prof, Rostovtzeff sald. "It is of great importance to know more ahout this. Dura is the first city of this type to be excavated," HUNTSVILLE MAN SUICIDES BY ROPE AROUND COW'S NECK Huntsville, Feb. 2.--His body frozen stiff, a rope around his neck, drawn tight, and the other end ahout the neck of a cow, Ernest Whitmore, well-known character about Huntsville for some years past, was found this forenoon in a stable on the outskirts of the town.
