Sudden Sinking of Frederick
A. Lee in Lake Huron
Still Mystery.
»T the Associated Press.
ROGERS CITY. Mich.. November
14.—The sudden sinking of a tug be
lieved to have been the Frederick A.
Lee, a 72-footer, carrying a crew of
live, remained a mystery tonight as
search for the craft was abandoned.
The vessel apparently went down
at 4 p.m. Friday.
Coast Guardsmen at Pointe aux
Barques, 13 miles from where the tut
was reported to have gone down, said
t they gave up the search because wind
and sea would wash debris and any
bodies toward the-Canadian shore of
Lake Huron.
Disappearance of the craft was re
ported early Saturday morning by
Capt. Theodore Dahlburg of the
Bradley Transfiortation Co. stone car
rier Munson. He said he and his
first officer. Donald Mauls, saw the
tug sink before aid could be given.
Floating Objects Sighted.
“We brought the Munson to the
scene within 15 minutes,” he said.
•‘First we saw the top of a ship's
cabin and then several pillows float
ing on the churning water. We also
saw a life preserver, a mattress and
a chair, but the wreckage was so
splintered we were unable to pick It
Up.”
Coast Guardsmen generaly believed
an explosion was responsible for the
sinking of the vessel.
The Frederick A. Lee, owned by
Capt. T. B. Climie, of Sault Ste.
Marie, Ontario, had been under char- j
« ter to the Wallaceburg, Ontario, Sand
and Gravel Co. It was on its way to
Sault Ste. Marie for the Winter and
Its schedule placed it in the approxi
mate location where Capt. Dahlburg
law the tug sink.
The Wallaceburg company said when
the Lee left Sarnia, Ontario. Capt.
Achille Renaud of Amherstburg, On
tario, was in charge. The other four
members of the crew were C. Smale,
Port Stanley, Ontario, chief engineer;
Archie Gibbs, Corunna, Ontario, sec
ond engineer; Roy McDonald. Sarnia,
Ontario, wheelsman, and P. Titus,
Sarnia, firemen. The tug and all j
„ equipment, the company officials said,1

Possible Cause of Explosion.
At Sault Ste. Marie Capt. Climie ad
vanced the theory that mud pumped
Into the boilers of the Lee while the
vessel was grounded near Harbor j
Beach Thursday night might have'
caused an explosion.
"If the tug was in the mud when It
grounded, it probably pumped con- ]
siderable mud into its boilers as its
• propeller churned the water," he ex
plained. "If the mud were sucked
Into the valves, the water would get
low. Then, with the fires going
strongly, the mud might have let loose
sufficiently to cause a sudden flow’ of!
water into the hot boiler tubes. An !
explosion would follow."
The Lee was built in 1898.

that two wounds on the body came
from one bullet. He said the bullet
struck Mrs. Taylor in the breast, tore
the heart and traversed her body, go
ing out through her shoulder. There
had been speculation as to whether
Mrs. Taylor was shot in the back.
Cites Importance of Stain.
The autopsy, Messmer said, brought
out the importance of a blood-like
splotch discovered on the highway the '
day following the fatal shooting. The
stain, he said, was 1,010 feet from i
the stalled automobile of Gen. Den- j
hardt and 410 feet down the highway
beyond the spot where the body was
found.
"If it is proven that this is human
blood and the assumption that it came
from Mrs. Taylor is established,” j
Messmer said, "then from the nature
of her wounds she could not have
walked 410 feet. Somebody carried
her body there.”
The investigator previously had cut
a section about the size of a barrel
head from the highway where the
stain was found.
The autopsy report, filed -at the
county clerk's office late today, gave
a technical description of the wound
In the chest, briefly described a;
"bruise on the right inner thigh” and ’
disclosed that Mrs. Taylor had under- j
gone an abdominal operation "some1
years before.”
Seek Cause of Bruise.
Sergt. Messmer previously expressed
the opinion that the bruise on the
thigh was suffered the day before the
woman's death. Investigators have
been attempting to determine the
:ause of the bruise.
Coroner Kos Gividen of Oldham
County ordered the exhumation under
a State law requiring disinterment
of a body when an affidavit is filed
by any one stating that death resulted
from unlawful means. Sergt. Mess
mer signed the affidavit. Roy Garr, a
brother, supplied a written request
for the exhumation on behalf of the
family.
Ballard Clark of La Grange, re
tained by the family of Mrs. Taylor
along with Wirt Turner of New
Castle to assist in the prosecution of
Sen. Denhardt, said the autopsy left
the situation unchanged.
Commenting on a statement of a
defense attorney yesterday that the
defense would Insist upon being rep
resented at any autopsy, Clark said
today, "If the defense wants another ,
autopsy we’U agree to it.”
Clark said the autopsy physicians
will be subpoenaed to testify at the
examining trial Friday.
The autopsy report was signed bj
Dr. J. T. Walsh and Dr. H. B. Blaydet
of La Grange.

through loud speakers, however, from
a motor launch owned by a strike
sympathizer. The launch met the
vessel at quarantine, but was forced
by the Washington's propellor wash to
fall behind on the trip up the North
River. When the ship docked she
was met by a third group of pickets,
who paraded in front of the pier.
Franklin's assertion that the strike
was costing "a fortune-’ provoked a
round of chuckles at the rickety
waterfront headquarters of the Strike

He estimated it was costing about

which was started without any re
serve fund. Expenses have been de

STRIKERS VOICE THREATS.
Business Men in San Francisce Asked
to Organize.
SAN FTIANCISCO, November 14
td9).—Maritime strike leaders threat
ened today to send Western long
shoremen on a "swing through Gulf
and Atlantic ports and complete a
dock tie-up" unless shipowners talk
peace soon.
At the same time a committee of
the San Francisco Industrial Associa
tion warned business men to organize
against an “inland march" of the
Longshoremen's Union.
Two West Coast strikes not directly
connected with the maritime walkout
were aettied, but others appeared to
complicate the general labor situation.
The Industrial Association Com
mittee said more than 18,000 men were
striking against San Francisco in
dustry and more than 60 plants were
closed and "surrounded by mobs of
pickets whose numbers were growing
dally.”
“Your turn may .be next Jn the
march inland of business destruction
now being carried on by local 38-44
(San Francisco) of- the International
Longshoremen's Association," said the
committee statement.
With strikes dotting the bay area
and maritime peace negotiations at a
virtual impasse. Mayor Angelo J.
Rossi of San Francisco telephoned
the White House to arrange a con
ference with President Roosevelt and
Secretary of Labor Perkins. He said
he would leave for Washington to
morrow.
Milk deliveries were stopped for all
but hospitals and other public in
stitutions in Oakland and other East
Bay cities by a walkout of 400 union
drivers, seeking to force the employ
ment of union milkers on dairy
ranches.
About 450 shipyard workers walked
out in Los Angeles. An order recall
ing half of the 400 special police de
tail from the Los Angeles waterfront
was canceled.
Five hundred wholesale grocery
warehouse men returned to their jobs
today after voting to accept a wage
of 70 cents an hour. Their former
pay was 62 Vi cents. About 900 other
warehouse men remained on strike,
however, having rejected a proposal
to arbitrate their wage and hour de
mands.
Shipyard and textile workers also
were on strike here. In Los Angeles
1,800 fish cannery workers agreed on
new terms with employers.
Officials of two lumber mills at
Anacortes, Wash., announced their
plants were closing down because of
a strike of Sawmill and Timber
Workers' Union men at one of them
over the discharge of a yard con
tractor. It was said 400 employes
were affected.
