Much Water Damage The offices of Dis, | Davies od Langmaid and of Parkhill and Fie suffered most from the flames, which burned through. their office walls, de- stroyed part of the ceilings, and burned a big hole right up the side of the building. After fifteen minutes work the flames were extinguished, but the water has to be poured on for some time, as the heating sys- tem pipes and the sewer pipe were turned almost red hot by the heat of the flames. Water spread down through the whole of the west end of the building, causing much da- mage to offices and contents as it went, and soaked down into the pre- mises of the Traymore Savarin. Chief Elliott made a thorough in- spection of the point where the fire is believed to have started, but had not, up to noon today, reached a de- finite conclusion as to its cause. An inspection of the electric wiring dis- elled an impression that it may have Deen responsible, but the fire chief has some other theories on which he is working. The damage to the build- ing and contents the fire chief esti- mates at between $8,000 and $10,000, mich of this being done to the con- tents, and a large amount of it being due to the water which poured down through the building. ent t Onlookers at the fire, and there was a large assembly of spectators observed that all the ladders of the department were put into use, and, in. spite of this, the chief states that the department was somewhat hand- icapped by the lack of sufficient e- quipment, This is the second time in less than two years that this block has been visited by fire. In Octaber, 1927, the old three-storey Alger Block was de- stroyed by fire, and the present four- storey building was crected on the same site, WRECKAGE WASHED UP (Continued from Page 1) after wintering in the American Soo left a few days ago to pick up a load of pulpwood at ports east of here for Port Huron. The vessel was recently equipped with Diesel engines. Local marine men venture the opin- jon that the wreck sighted in Lake Huron, off Thunder Bay, yesterday, may have been one of the craft car- rying pulpwood from the head of = lakes to the Detroit sulphide and fire works at Port Huron, Mich, Captain William Taylor, of the steamer "Ren- foyle," who first reported the wreck, stated on arriving here last night that the bow of the craft appeared to be badly smashed, The wreckage inclu- ded pulpwood, ring buoys, hatches and light screens. There was no sign of crew or lifeboats, he said.

N. Philbin" and *S. 8S. Upson' aground : at Conneaut Harbor, The passenger boat anchored ten miles northeast of the Ashtabula harbor early today after drifting steadily from the Cleveland shore for 16 hours. Two tugs, the "Gil- more" and the "Virginia" faced the task of towing the crippled steamer, unable to make headway under her own power, {into the Cleveland Harbor today. The coast guard cutters 219 and 229 were assigned to stand by while the boat was hauled into port, more than a full day overdue. The D. N. Philbin resting on a mudbank since Wednesday, was scuttled after high ' seas swung the boat parallel to the shore and combers breaking against the side of the ship endangered the crew of 33. The "Upson" struck a sand bar last night after passing the bréakwater of Conntaut Harbor. Unable to dock, the vessel was forced too near the breakwater and ran aground. It was expected that the boat would be floated without damage. Both the "Philbin" and the "Up- son" carried cargoes of iron ors from Duluth to Conneaut. The "City ef Buffalo" is owned by the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company and {is of 2040 gross tommage. The "Philbin" {is operated by the Tomlinson line and carried 11,000 tons of ore. The cargo and the number of the crew aboard the ..Upson" could not be learned until she made port. Fear Crew Lost Tobermory, Ont,, May 4.--No word of identification of the lake freighter wrecked in Lake Huron, off Thunder Bay, near the Michi- gan shore line, had reached here early this morning. It is feared the crew are lost. It was learned by the government wireless station here late last night that the tug 'Favorite', from. St. Ignace, Mich., was standing by the wreckage. The "Favorite" is equipped with wire- less and presumably would report immediatley the result of her in- vestigations. High north-west winds are still prévailing on the lake. Tt is thought the tug's crew is unable to ascertain anything definite owing to the terrific seas. All Canadian and United States ports are being checked up this morning for boats missing.

The Royal Master is no tire for the man who buys a car to drive for only one year. It costs too much and lasts 2 message of any kind regarding the identity of the boat believed lost or the fate of her crew came out of the air during the night from the tug "Favorite" to the government wireless station at Tomermory, according to William Pedley, the operator, who has been on duty all night. The "Favorite" 4s equipped with wireless and was reported late yesterday as "stand- ing by" at the scene of the wreck- age in Thunder Bay.

BODY OF MISS WRIGHT 15 FOUND (Continued from Page 1) would be no inquest could not be reached this afternoon. It is prob- able that an inquest will be held, he is stated as saying some time ago, although the circumstances relating to the finding of the body will most likely decide the issue. The finding of the body has reliev- ed a great deal of suspense at Har- mony bride where gangs of men and police have been continually on the watch for signs of the body since the night of the fatal accident, Believing is to either be buried by the clay and sand or held down by the broken concrete, they were constantly on the lookout for it.

Gigantic waves are washing over the wheelhouse and into the fun- nels of the Philbin and a coastguard boat is standing by ready to take off the crew. At one time early last evening the coastguard made an effort to take the crew off, but this was later decided against ow- ing to the gale and high seas.

"We would remind them," the Daily Herald add- ¢d, "that the Labor party has reject- ed the policy of voting against war credits, It has taken its stand on the policy of securing progressive disar< mament by coordinated and interna- tional action, And, in seeking to in- struct members of parliament who are members of the LL.P. to take ac- tion on the lines suggested, those who voted for the resolution appear to us to have forgotten the obliga- tions to the Labor party."
