Three Salors Were Drow: Disobeyed Captain's Orders Steamer lealockie, of Midland, Weat Ashore on Charity Shoe ~~ Some of Crew Took to Lifeboat And Lost Their Lives. A despatch received from Water- town, N.Y., stated that three mem- bers of the steamer Glenlochie, owned by the Playfair Line of Mild- land, Ont., had lost their lives on Thursday morning at an early hour when they disobeyed the orders of Captain Victor Chartier, Champlain, Que., and took to the lifeboats when the steamer went aground on Char- ity shoal, near Cape Vincent. According to information receiv- ed in the city on Thursday morn- ing by the Donnelly Salvage and Wrecking Company, 'the steamer, which was grain laden from Port Colborne to Montreal, went ashore at Charity Shoal at an early hour on Thursday morning, but worked herself free and proceeded east. At Cape Vincent, she was beached. She was taking a lot of water in the forward hold. The Donnelly Com- pany sent a tug and a couple of lighters and it was hoped that the steamer would be released after part of the cargo was taken off, The Whig was in telephone com- munication with Cape Vincent but it . was impossible to get in touch with any of the members of the crew as the telephone Tine was In trouble and' it was' necessary to go round by way of Brockville, At Cape Vincent it was stated that the names of two of the men who lost their lives were Ernest Romsby and John Brody. - In An Awful Storm. A later déspatch from Watertown, N.Y., says: The freighter: had successfully passed through the channel of the Main Ducks, in one of the worst wind storms in many years when the boat was swept off the course and onto the shoal, opening several large geams in its side. The crew were ordered to remain on board, but three men put off in a life boat and when their boat crashed against the side of the ship the men drown- ed in a few minutes. The ship was washed off the shoal and with water two feet from the deck line the cap.

Washington, Nov. 6.--President Cdolidge, having received a vote of confidence from the American vot- ers, yesterday expressed his "simple thanks" as one of his first acts af- ter his election was assured. In 'a statement which 'he read to the newspapermen, he said: "I can only express my simple thanks -to all those who have con- tributed to this result, and plainly acknowledge that it has been brought to pass through the work of a divine Providence, of which I am but one instrument, Such pow- ers as I have I dedicate to the ser- vice of all my country and of ali my countrymen." John W. Davis congratulated President Coolidge on his election to the presidency. "Permit me to congratulate you," Mr. Davis telegr , on your sweeping victory and to express the hope that your administration may by its success insure the welfare of the country." ! President Coolidge sent this re- "Please accept my thanks for your message, and much appreciation of the ' patriotic sentiments you " { have been received her own power. When she reached Cape Vincent the Water was at her deck line and the eaptain sailed the ship on to a mud shoal two hundred feet off shore, whefe she sank. The crew were then safely taken off. The crew included twenty men and three women, two of whom were guests. The boat carried eighty-six thousand bushels of wheat and was en route to Montreal from Port Colbofhe. The captain refused to give the names of the drowned men. Another despatgh says: "The fate of the three mem: who were adrift in the lifeboat 1s Wmeertain, but lit- tle hope is held for the sailors, wiio were awept away dn a tiny boat with the wind blowing sixty-five miles an hour and waved: rolling to the height of fifteen feet." : --r---- Another Story. The Whig was. able to get in touch with the Watertown, N.Y. Times on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock and learn#d that the steam- er struck Charity Shoal on Thurs- day morning at 'three o'clock and the force of the steamer striking the shoal caused her to drive =a large hole in the bottom, She was taking water very rapidly but the captain, owing ta the air compart- ments in the steamer, was able to reach the Dyke Coal Company's dock, where she is at the present time. It was stated that when the steam- er gtruck the shoal, eight members of the crew, realizing that the steamer was In danger, were In the act of lowpring a life boat when the captain gave the order to leave the lifeboat alome and stay on the ship, and he would be able to reach port in safety. Five of the sailors obey- ed the captain's orders, but the oth- ers lowered the life boat and as soon as they struck the water the boat was smashed and they were thrown into the walter and have not been geen since that time. The men were wearing life preservers, so it is expected that the bodies will be "Of the Ku Klux Klan New York, Nov, 6.--De- maocratic party organs in the 'United States are claiming that one of the outstanding features of Tuesday's election was the political "come-back" of the Ku Klux Klan.

London, Nov. 6.--The English re- formers' idea of making bad girls better is to give them trips to the seaside. Accordingly last year several of the détention institutions for young girls took parties of in- mates to various seaside resorts, where they were given a two week's vacation with only the supervision of two matrons to each party of 25 girls. Last year's outings proved so suc- cessful that nearly all similar insti- tutions this year| took up the idea and allowed their best behaved girls to have a vacation. The expenses for the trip, above what it would cost to feed and provide for the girls at tHe institution, were donated by persons interested in progressive and humanizing methods in the cor- rectional institutions of the coun- try. VANCOUVER AT END OF HER GRAIN BOOM It Needs Yet Lower Freight Rates, Says Counsel for the Province. Vancouver, Nov. 6. Lrnat Van- couver has reached the end of her grain boom, and may - even have more elevators now than she can uge, was the sepghtional statement made by grain men and by G. G. Me- Geer, KC. coutisel for Britian Cor: umbia, appearing. befors the Board | J of Railway Commissioners yesterday afternoon. : It was argued that the grain trade is proving this season the in- ability of Vancouver to overcome, with a normal crop, the great han- diecap of unfair freight rates, and to compete as she did last year with a bumper crop with the long-establish- ed route. "We believe these statements to be facts, after sdarching investiga- tion," said Mr. McGeer. "There is no use fooling ourselves, and we certainly cannot hope to fool the grain companies; They know per- fectly well what the situation is. "Give us the rates on grain we should have in Western Canada ard there is no reason why the grain trade should not continue to . ex- pand. The elevator companies would again become intercsted in Vancouver. At present their inter- est is undoubtedly flagging. They declare that with existing . freight rates 'we are a very ordinary grain export centre." ING SEX RIVALRY Recommendation to Increase the Number of Women Police Opposed.

For the defence, R. H. Greer said that from the evidence no deduc- tion could be drawn that there was murder in Crossen's heart. Rowe and McCrodan had gone out on a carefully prepared marauding expe- dition. Crossen, when he confront- ed these two big men was in the right. The other two men were ob- viously in the wrong. The jury ought to give Crossen the benefit of the doubt and say that when he took the gun out that morn- ing, he did a very wise thing as he saw it at the time, he having no idea of what he was running into, Mr. Greer emphasized the accused's de- scription of the accidental manner in which McCrodan was shot at an angle, was an indication that Cros- sen did not shoot deliberately, but that the gun went off when McCro- dan, rushing past Crossem, swung LAST EDITION GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER THE CROSSEN CASE VERDICT Gaekesper Seutenced At Years in Penitentiary--Defence Cla Trial to Six.

Cunningham, K.C, King- ston, Crown counsel, submitted there were but two defences to the charge--accident and self defence, On the evidence he thought they must come to the conclusion that MoCrodan's death: was not an accle dent. There was no doubt that Me" Crodan and Rowe were wrong in be- : ing where they were, but that did not justify the shooting. He credit. . ed Crossen with being a decent, God-fearing citizen, but even if Rowe's character was as black as that of Judas Iscariot, as had been suggested by defence counsel, It would have no bearing on the case as the defence was "accidenial death." if Crown counsel admitted that Cros. gen was quite justified in taking Ty gun with him on going to the hatch. ery at that time of the morning. : He was not on irial for that. Coun. sel, while trying to deal fairly with the accused, did not think that the story Crossen told was =ltogether, true as to how McCrodan Was shot, The nature of Rowe's wound tended to bear out Rowe's story and dis- proved the story as told by Croseen, PPP PPPPPRPPRRPPINIRS * + THINK VERIGIN CAN BE BROUGHT TO LIFE Nelson, B.C., Nov. 6.---Led by Arastasia Verigin, niece of Peter Verigin, the Doukho- bor's leader, who was killed last week, a crowd of Doukhobors numbering five thousand crowded "around the special train carrying the coroner's % jury, shouting: "We want 4 Peter Verigin back: You can # bring him back.
