NU.MK, Ala.skn, Oct. L3,
gasoline schooner Silver "Wave of
Nome, with four men aboard her, has
been carried off by the ice of the
Arctic ocean, it was learned here to
day.
The Silver Wave was caught in
Kotzebue- sound, ISO miles north of
Bering Strait, whither she was hur
rying for safety on her lant trip be
fore winter.
The Silver Wave first stranded,
according to reports reaching here.
Her cargo and passengers were taken
off near the end of a long peninsula

Captain Ilegness, master nnd owner,
nnd the engineer were ashore, the Sil
ver Wave was seen moving out to
the ocean.
Slush ice prevented the master and
engineer from reaching the vessel and
kept the four men, the remainder of
the crew, who had remained aboard,
from coming ashore.
Efforts were to be made today by
the cutter Mojave, of the" United
States coaBt guard, whioh has be;u
waiting here for the lr.st vessel of
the season to go out of Bering sea to
rescue the men of the Silver Wave.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. With a
view to determining whether there
ha ve been "concealed" cont ributions
from big business men to the repub
lican campaign fund, Samuel Unter
myer asked the senate Investigating
committee today to subpoena the re
publican state chairmen of New York,
New Jersey, Ohio and Illinois.
Mr. Untermyer, who is associate

fellers and officers "of the great
Standard, OH interests," all "reeugniat

Mr. Untermyer also submitted a
telegram from Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, democrat, Montana, saying it
was rumored that $100,000 would be
sent to Montana to he used against
him in his campaign for re-election.
When Mr. Untermyer Vailed at
tention to the absence of the names
of a number of capitalists from the
list of republican contributors, Sena

missing."

plied Senator Uorali.
