He was a noted journalist, having long been editor of the Watchman, the denominations religious publication, with an extensive circulation. Many honorary degrees were conferred upon Dr Horr.

MARGARET BONDFIELD IS IN BOSTON First Woman With British Cabinet Position Miss Margaret Bgndfield, MP, of London, the first woman to serve in the British Government, is in Boston for few days as the guests of Mrs Roland G. Hopkins of 142 Crafts road Chestnut Hill. Miss Bondfield arrived in Boston yesterday from New MISS MARGARET BONDFIELD. York, wheer she landed two weeks ago.

She expects to return to England within a week or so. Miss Bondfield this afternoon was a speaker at the luncheon of the Foreign Policy Association at the Cop-ley-Plaza. Tomorrow night she will speak at the Old South Church forum. This will be her only public appearance in New England. Miss Bondfield was appointed parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Labor in January, 1924.

She has tried to bring a new spirit into the House of Commons, that of the golden rule. Margaret Bondfield is the daughter of a lace designer who never earned more than a workmans wage and whose 11 children all had to fend for themselves early in life. The big piece of social work for which Margaret Bondfield will always be remembered is the abolition of the living-in system for shop workers. She herself, at 15, wnt into a Brighton shop to earn her living and she knew all about the dingy, ill-ventilated. sparsely furnished dormitories in which shop assistants then had to sleep, keeping their clpthes in boxes under their beds and having no privacy even to wash.

One of the adventurous experiences of her life, in this first job, was organizing a dash from the shop once a week, the moment the shutters were up, to reach the public baths, three-quarters of mile away, before their closing time. MISSING STEAMER JOHN TRACY that the Tracy had some sort of engine trouble, perhaps off Highland Light, and that there, caught by the northeasterly storm, Capt Rudolph Ritcher, her commander, stood off shore to have plenty of water under him, and was caught by the northwesterly gale which followed the northeaster and was driven ashore on the Georges where she may have broken up before the crew had any chance to escape in the lifeboats. These shoals are in places not more than three to six feet under water, and in storms the seas whip over them into roaring masses of foam, in which no boat can live. This explanation of the disappearance of the Tracy is not the only passible one and any one of half a dozen other explanations are almost as likely to be true. Capt Richter from Belmont Capt Richter was about 40 years of age.

He lived, when ashore, with his wife and three children in Belmont. TEACHERS COLLEGE GIRLS PRESENT DRAMA A dramatization of Quien Supiera Escribin was given by second-year members of the Spanish Club of the Teachers College at the meeting of the club last night. Plans were discussed for a play to be given soon. Miss Margaret Clancy, president, was in charge of the meeting. The entertainment committee consisted of the Misses Mildred Doherty, Mary Flaherty, Ruth Lang, Mildred Smith and Mary Tilly.

Discovery of pieces of wreckage, apparently once a part of the steamer John Tracy, about 17 miles northwest of Georges Shoal and 87 miles East from Nauset, Cape Cod. have led mariners to the belief that probably the coal steamer, which left Norfolk for Boston on Jan 8, foundered on Georges Shoal during the recent storms. The finding of this wreckage has also served to intensify the search for any trace of the missing coal boat. A thorough search of tne entire sea in that neighborhood is being made by cutters and destroyers of the Coast Guard. It was the Coast Guard destroyer Burrows that yesterday picked up what was the Tracy's name boat'd and two sections of hatch covers.

At about the same time the steam trawler Breaker, Capt Augustus Dunsky, of the Bay State Fishing Company, reported picking up an empty lifeboat, bearing the Tracys name, about 30 miles southeast of Chatham. The discovery of this wreckage has about confirmed the worst fears of those concerned by the vessels long disappearance. It is thought likely CLAIMS QUINCY ELECTRIC RATES ARE EXORBITANT QUINCY, Jan 22-Charging that the rates of the Quincy Electric Light and Power Company were exorbitant and excessive, Representative Alfred N. LaBrecque this morning filed a consumers petition with the Public Utilities Commission.
