127th Mhin Marguerite Liotard, 36 ...042 President st MOB HANGS NEGRESS. NO WORD OF YOUTHS ADRIFT IN CANOE Wireless Inquiries Sent in Every Direction Give No Results. YOUTHS' PARENTS DISTRACTED Fathers Are Anxiously Patroling the Shores of the Harbor in a Motorboat. No word has been received from the two young men, Thomas Jordan and Clarence Brown, who left the New York Canoe Club, at the foot of Bay Thirty-seveuth street, on Gravesend Bay, at noon on Sunday in an 18-foot canoe, and have not been seen since. Every wireless and life-saving station along the shore has been on the lookout for the two lost youths since Sunday night, and all the big outgoing ships have been communicated with in vain.

No trace of either the boys or their canoe has been found. The mothers of the two lads are already griefstricken and despairing. Jordan, who is about 19 years old, is the son of Thomas Jordan, of 445 Seventy-ffth street, Brooklyn, chief engineer of the yacht Ituna, owned by W. B. Dinsmore of Manhattan.

Brown, who is about 22 years of age, is the son of Police Sergeant Brown of the Fort Hamilton station and lives at 158 Bay Thirty-fourth street. Both young men have been employed in the New York Life Insurance Company, Jordan in the law department and Brown du the controller's office. The two were seen to start out from the clubhouse and paddle toward the famous "potato patch," 8 strip of rough water off Sea Gate, where the canoe was lost to sight. It is feared that the canoe overturned and that the two boys were drowned. Both were strong swimmers, but the water was rough, and it is feared that, if they overturned, they were swept out to sea.

The fathers of the two boys hired a motorboat this morning and are patroling the shore near the boat club. A man named George Hogan is patroling the Staten Island shore. It is hoped that the two youths were picked up by some steamer without a wireless, as none of the steamers communicated with have had auy news of the lost pair. It was said today at the Canoe Club that the purpose of the short trip the two boys had planned was to try out the canoe which young Jordan was planning to buy. The statement was made this morning that a man phoned into the clubhouse on Monday with word that he had passed the berate on Sunday, padding toward Sea He remembered them well, and said that he remarked at time that they were the first canoeists of the season.

Some of the members of the Canoe Club admitted this morning that young Brown joined the club only recently, and was not familiar with canoes. He is said to be a fine athlete, however. Brown is said to be one of the best oarsmen in the club. It was learned today that young Jordan was a student at night in the New York Law School. The class of which he was a member has been greatly stirred up over his possible fate.

It was charged that the purchase of the latter securities was to be made in two installments, $25,000 worth on April 13 1911, and 000 worth one year later. It is claimed for the Brooklyn Bank that it made every effort to live up to that agreement.

Accordingly, it of fered the Island Cities bonds to the State Banking Department, which had assumed the Borough Bank. The department, however, refused to accept them. In consequence, the Brooklyn Bank claims, it has suffered a loss of $100,000, and asks judgment for that amount. The Borough Bank, as defendant, denies that there was any foundation for the claim of an agreement. and it is also denied that the Brooklyn Bank ever made any effort to turn over to it the Island Cities bonds.

Daniel O. Underhill, president of the Brooklyn Bank, was the first witness today and from questions asked of him by William Winthrop Taylor, who appears for the Brooklyn Bank, it was apparent that the agreement had been made by Bro. R. Shears, former president, in behalf of the defendant bank. Other witnesses called were S.

Stanwood Menken, the lawyer, who negotiated the reorganization of some of the banks that closed up, Clarence W. Allen, Armand R. Moller and Jacob C. Klinck. "SAILED" DUCKS; FINED $40.

Getting "Cripples" Expensive for Well-Known East Quogue Guide. Riverhead, L. March 31-Eugene F. Jackson of East Quogue, a guido, fined $40 by Justice Hildreth in was this place yesterday afternoon after a jury had found him guilty of "sailing" ducks on November 6, last year. The tine was paid.

Jackson had a party of Now York including a Mr. Gardiner and a Mr. Taylor (he refused to give their men, first names), out for EL day's shooting. It was charged that Mr. Jackson shot some geese from a sailboat after they had been wounded and knocked down trom IL battery, The fact WELS that after the geese had been crippled the party hated to them away when they were see still so near, so they jumped into the boat and went after them.

The law says this is wrong. Justice Hildreth took occasion to say sentencing Mr. Jackson that he believed the law ought to be changed--that it seemed a humane thing to do to get a duck or goose in any way possible after it had been badly wounded. Yet he felt obliged to administer the law as he found it at present. A big crowd of interested sportsmen attended the trial, and there was some evidence of bad feeling between some of the families of the opposing guides, although it was denied that an opposing guide had "snitched" on Mr.

Jackson. A singular coincidence in respect to the jury was that four of the six men composing it were named Young--John L. Young, his brother, George L. Young, and the former's son, Chauncoy Young, and Frank W. Young.

HAD SEARCHED WORLD VAINLY Alfred Welland Was an Officer in the Turkish Army and Had Been Reported Killed. Faltering in step, and with every limb trembling, a middle-aged man walked down South Fourth street, Williamsburg, 8 few days ago and stopped in front of the house numbered 87. He peered up at the door-plate to make sure of the number, and then rang the bell. The door was opened by servant. "I want to see Mrs.

Welland," said the stranger, and the girl showed him into the parlor and called her mistress. In a few minutes the man, hearing a step on the stairs, stood up, and, 8.8 a gray-haired woman entered the room, held out his hands. For a moment or two his voice failed him, but his face told what his lips refused to say, "Mary!" he cried, when he finally got control of himself. "Don't you know me? Don't you know your husband? They told me that you were dead. But I didn't believe them, and I've hunted all over the world for you." The woman rushed into his outstretched arms, and persons who had been attracted from other parts of the house by the woman's cry as she recognized the husband she had long thought dead, looked on in silence.

Curious eyes were quickly turned a away, and two were left alone. And SO the last chapter of a story of a search lasting more than thirtyfive years was written when Alfred Welland, a prosperous furniture manufacturer of Montreal, Canada, had found his wife. Mr. Welland Was Reported as Having Been Killed in Battle. Mr.

and Mrs. Welland were residents of Cairo, Egypt, some thirty-five years ago. Mr. Welland, then man of 25, became interested in Egyptian-Turkish politics, and as an intimate friend of Osman Pasha, the Turkish general, he was tendered 8 commission in the Turkish army. At the outrbeak of the Turco-Russian War his regiment was called to the front, and Welland left his wife and infant son, Alfred, in Cairo.

Letters came from the front at short intervals at the beginning of the war, and then they ceased. The last letter told of his promotion to the grade of captain. Rumors of a terrible battle at Plevna swept through Egypt in 1877, and the lists of the dead included that of Captain Welland. Mrs. Welland, broken-hearted over the supposed death of her husband, left Cairo and in company with her son, went to Australia.

After a short stay in Melbourne, she came to the United States and took an apartment in Manhattan. Her son married years after and moved to Boston, soon after, and it was then that Mrs. Welland came to Brooklyn and settled in the Williamsburg section. She had long given up hope of ever seeing her husband again. Two years after the Battle of Plevna, Alfred Welland, broken in health, returned to Cairo.

A mistake had been made in the death roll. He had survived. He was told that his wife had gone away, thinking him dead. He immediately took up the search for her. Australia was visited, and word reached him that his wife had gone to America.

He came to New York, and from there went to Canada, after a fruitless search, lasting almost a year. During all the years of his residence in Montreal he never married, and at frequent intervals followed up clews that always failed. While on a visit to New York two years ago, his hopes revived at hearing that his wife was living here, but search, hard as he could, not a. trace of her could be found. Ten days AgO he came to Brooklyn to look up an address given him by friends.

This time he did not fail. The house at 87 South Fourth street was closed today. Friends and neighbors who knew the story said that the old couple had gone to Boston to visit their son. They will make their home in Montreal. $20 APIECE TO REGISTER Special Registration Cost 000 in Queens--Result Small.

SALTS IF BACKACHY AND KIDNEYS HURT Stop eating meat for a while if your Bladder is troubling you. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a wellknown authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy.

When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must. relieve them. like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water sealas and you are obliged to seek reliet two or three times during the night. Either consult 8 good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. -Adv.
