STEAMSHIP IOWA SINKS NEAR CHICAGO

rBY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Feb. 4. The steamship Iowa of the Goodrich line, running between Chicago and Lake Michigan ports, sank off Chicago harbor at 11 u. m. today. Fifty persons on board the Iowa made the perilous Journey over the slush ice to the recreation pier at the outer edge of the harbor. The Iowa with six other boats had ben lodged in an ice jam about three miles off shore for the last three day3, but was not thought to be in serious difficulty. Several of the other boats managed to fight their way out of the ice jam last night and early today, but the Iowa was unable to move.

ICE JAM THREATENS INDIANAPOLIS BRIDGE

Gorge Moves on Structure From Noblesville and Citizens Fear Crash. BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 4. With hundreds of tons of ice packed against the temporary bridge across White river at West Washington street, it was feared the structure would give way. A massive gorge of ice broke at Noblesville above here last night and was moving down stream today. The wooden temporary bridge was guarded constantly. No apprehension was felt for property in the low lying districts about this city. At Evansville, although the government weather bureau along the Ohio river predicted a stage of less than forty-six feet, rivermen declared the water would go much higher, eclipsing the record set by the flood of 1913.

PLAN MONTHLY FETES

Following the success of the banquet recently held in honor of the Past Chancellors, members of Coeur de Lion Lodge, K. of P. plan to hold monthly social meetings at their club rooms. These meetings will consist nt snHala tn xuhirh mumhors and thftlr

famllles will be invited, banquets for the members. Speakers will be invited to address the lodge occasionally. The purpose of the meetings is to create stronger social ties in the lodge.

BY BERT FORD, VANCEBORO, Me., Feb. 4. Werner Van Horn, the German bridge wrecker, was placed under arrest today in the immigration room at the station on a warrant issued by Trial Justice George H. Smith of this town. The charge is "wilful and wanton inJury and defacement of buildings and certain parts of buildings in the town." The young German officer was sentenced to thirty days in jail. Changes Status. Local action has changed the status of the Van Horn case. It came when everybody here was expecting the prisoner's release. State and federal authorities had not given Deputy Sheriff George W. Ross any instructions and he became so impatient that he telegraphed to Attorney General Pattengall at Augusta that he would free Van Horn immediately unless promptly advised to the contrary. When the property owners in Vanceboro heard this they got busy. The explosion did not damage the Vanceboro bridge much, but it did play havoc with window glass.

The local residents cared sot for the perplexing international questions involved. As Horace Kellogg, the grocer, said: "With the house owners in Vanceboro it is a simple question of putty and glass. I have sold out all my stock of window panes. Putty is shy. The temperature is so low people can't have busted windows." AWAITS ACTION. WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. -Solicitor Cone Johnson of the state department, announced today that no action would be taken by the department in the case of Werner Van Horn until the conclusion of the United States commissioner's hearing of the charges at Vanceboro. The solicitor said that the British ambassador's application for the extradition of Van Horn had been found to be correct in form and that the ambassador had been advised that the Canadian government would be allowed to send its legal representatives to Vanceboro to present their case against Van Horn when the hearing begins.

WITH GREEN FEEDS HENS KEEP LAYING

Poultry Needs Best of Care During the Last Days of Winter.

The price of eggs has fallen off ten cents a dozen in the last two weeks. Weather conditions are still far from ideal, from the standpoint of egg production, and unless given a little extra cars, most of the hens that have started to lay now, will quit before the hatching season, comes. At this season of the year hens suffer most for lack of greens and animal matter to fill the place of the grubs and worms she gets in the summer and spring. Sprouted oats have become one of the most popular green feeds in the winter time for hens, and later on for the early hatched chicks. It is not

necessary to have a patented, high

priced, double-back-acting sprout to

supply this feed. Spread the oats about an inch deep on an old sack. Moisten them thoroughly and keep covered for several days with another sack, being careful not to allow them to dry out. When the oats begins to sprout the upper sack can be removed, and the green sprouts will get three or four inches high. It is claimed that

a bushel of feed can beobtained from a quart of oats in this way.

The animal matter can be supplied by adding ground beef scrap to the

dry mash.

AIRMEN BOMBARD ADRIANOPLE CITY

, ATHENS, Feb. 4. French aviators, operating from the international fleet off the western entrance to the Dardanelles, have bombarded the Turkish city of Andrianople, where they did effective execution, according to a wireless dispatch from Salonika. Adrianapols is about 120 miles from the point in the JEgean Sea where the French and British warships are carrying on their bombardment. It would be easy for airmen to keep over Turkish waters and Turkish soil in making the flight without menacing the soil of Bulgaria.

SUEZ CANAL FIGHTS

GROW IN INTENSITY

Advance Guards of Turkish Army Show Daring Enterprise. BY LEASED WIRE.l CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 4. Skirmishes between Turkish and British forces are now almost daily occurrences along the Suez canal. In a sharp conflict Wednesday a few miles east of Ismailie, six English soldiers were wounded, two mortally. While the main Turkish forces have not yet reached the canal, their advance guards are showing niore daring and as a result the vigilance of the soldiers guarding the waterway has been redoubled. DENY RUSS VICTOR.Y. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 4.-De-nial is made here of Russian reports that the Turks were driven out of Tabriz by the Czar's Cossacks. It is stated that the Turks evacuated the city in accordance with the agreement with the Persian government. There are 217,586,892 Hindoos. 66,647,299 Moslems, 10,721,453 Buddhists and 3.876,203 Christians in India.

SETS BUTTER RECORD

A new butter production record has been set by a New York Jersey cow, and the tests have been authenticated by the American Jersey Cattle club. This cow, Dorosis Park Lily, 233783. has produced 4.157 pounds of butter fat in 24 hours, and in 7 days produced 435.5 pounds of milk, and 26.108 pounds of fat, equivalent to 30.024 pounds of butter, containing 85 per cent fat. At current butter fat prices, her product would yield a weekly income of about $10 a week. The average Wayne county cow is touted as a worl beater if she produces 10 pounds of butter in a week.

VILLA NAMES CABINET FOR DICTATORSHIP Member of William Bayard Hale Conference Is Appointed Minister of . Finance and Industry. BY LEWIS T. MATSON. Staff Correspondent of The International News Service. EL PASO. Texas, Feb.- 4. General Francisco Villa's assumption of presidential power la being celebrated by his Jubilant followers in Juarez today. Along the American border there is a general feeling of satisfaction over Villa's action in establishing a dictatorship as he has long been regarded as the one man capable of crushing the small revolts in Mexico and establishing order throughout the Republic. While General Villa has not yet announced that he will accept the provisional presidency, it is believed that the convention which has been the dominant political force In Northern Mexico for several months will elect him to that position. That Villa intends to establish a strong government Is shown by his first cabinet selections. They are :

M. Diaz Lombardo, foreign minister and minister of justice: General Luis

De La Garza Cardenas, minister of

state and commerce; Francisco Escudero, minister of finance and industry.

When William Bayard Hale was sent to the border about a year ago by President Wilson, Escudero conducted the negotiations on behalf of Carranze. Escudero was always a believer in Villa and when the latter broke with Carranza, Escudero went to northern

Mexico to become an adviser of Villa
