wh'eh went down mid of the extent
of the damage to lake ports it was
impossihlu to do more than uuchh

A majority of the fatalities oc
curred on Lake Huron. The west

heavy storms, and wheii thu recent

on thu meks and siuahcd like egg

engines to make headway against the
terrifio jstwer of ihe gale.
Next lo Lake Huron, the stonn
was worst on Lake Superior. There,
however, the wind did not fhift, so
that craft which reached shell-ir be
fore thn storm had reached its
height mde it out in safety.
Tlio seas were rapidly subsiding
today and u systematic search of
tlio shores of all the lakes was be
gun for wrecks. Added to the pre
viously published lists, there was
added today the II. M. Ilannn. n
modem steel steam which the waves
piled upon the beach at Point Atix

Crew WasIic1 AMioro
Willi tlio washing ashore of 15
members of its crew, it also became
certain that the steamship Charles
Prico was lost, presumably with its
full complement of 'J8 men.
Two bodies were picked up, too,
wearing life belts with tlio stencils
of the steel freighter John Meflean,
one of tlio finest bouts on Ihe lakes,
which, if lost, as it evidently was,
would nceount for 128 more men.
Hcsides theso boats four strel
steamships, with crews of 'JO men
each, were many hours overdue on

entertained for them. A score of
corpses wero washed up on the Lake
Huron and Superior shores today.

BY LOWER DUTIES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. The
new democratic tariff law, it is con
fidently believed, will make church
going chcnjicr.
For ono thing, tho inniort tax of
2.1 per cent, which amounts to about
50 cents npieco on tho popular edi
tions of foreigu-mndo liibles, is re
moved entirely. All down tho line of
religious supplies tho new tariff aims
nt retnil reductions. Organs nro re
duced 10 per cent in iulKrt duty,
stained glnss windows should be
some chenper owing to n 10 wr cent
tariff cut; muio is reduced 10 jwr
cent nnd church furniture from 7 to
10 per cent.
Another series of reductions in the
tariff which should mnko nil church
supplies cheaper is nitned nt nil
tracts, pamphlets nnd religious para
phernalia, from which import duties
have been entirely removed. Going
on the theory that the democrats, as
they promised, would remove or low
er import tnriffs on nil "necessaries
of life," tho new schedules on reli
gious goods of all kinds show that
tho national congress is nt least reli
gious nnd believes religion n "neces
sity.'' Grandma, by tlio wny, should be
nble to get nlong with less expendi
ture, sinco tho tariff has been cut
on spectacles and peppermint drops,
that tho former should be about IS
per cent cheaper and tho latter al
most ns mueh so.
