WALL STREET OPPOSES PROFIT SHARING PLAN Henry Ford's Announcement Receiv ed in Financlii Centers with Ad verse Critilisms. New York, Jan. 14.-"Industries backed by Wall Street money will not accept the proilt sharing plan, but I fully expect to see my independent competitors come into l'ne and share their earnings with the employes. "Wall Street demands big dividends, and I cannot imagine concerns financ ed by the so-called interests volun tartly sharing these dividends with the men whoso labor makes it possible for thema to carn big profits. Fortunate ly my company is not, an( has never been, controlled by Wall Street." Such was the answer given by Hen ry Ford, the Detroit automobile ,man utfacturer, when he was asked today, if, inI his opinion, his $10,000,000 proflt sharing plan would be adopte(d by oth er automobile manufacturers, and by great industrial enterprises generally. After a quiet (lay iI his suite at the Hotel leilmont, Mr. Ford, accompanied by Mrs. Ford and tieir son. l'dsal, left at 5 o'clock in the afternoon for De lroit.

PASSENGERS AND CREW SNATCHED FROM DEATH Royal Mall Packet Cees Down, but Passengers and Crew Saved at Last Mo mont, Yarmoith, N. B., Jan. 14.-Snatched from what seemed almost certain death, passen'gers atld crew of the Royal Mail Packet company's steam er Cobequid are snug tonight in Yar mouth harbor. Wireless appeals for assistance, which she had first made 36 hours be fore, were answered late today as the doomed steamer was rbeing racked to pieces on Trinity rock, six miles off Port Mlaitland. The rescue will go down in shipping annals as one of the most notable ever accomplished on the Atlantic coast. The Cobequid had begun to break up under the terrific seas that had been merelless from the time she struck early yesterday. Quantities of cargo covered the waters as the life boats ranged alongside. The coastal steamers Westport and, .John L. Cann were first to get their small boats into the water, and they' were followed soon by boats of the government steaned Jandsdown and the steamer lHa ppah1annock. As the work of rescue progressed the seas subsided and no mishap imar re(l the triumph over the waves. 72 Persons In Three Loads. Capt. %lcKinnon, of the Westport, found the liner on Trinity ledge at -1:20 o'clock this afternoon. At the time here was a high wind and rough sea. lie took off in three lifeboat loads 72 persons, including all pas sengers, the purser, several deck of fleers and part of the crew. The Westport stood by until 5:15 o'clock, when the .John1 L. Cann camne i). 'Ihe latter took off 2.1 men as the Westport was leaving for Yar iloutih. Thle Captain and eleien of the crew decided to renain on the siip intil mIornin'g an1d the government ste'ailer Ialldslowne stood by. The Westport arrived at Yarinoutit 19 o'clock and the John L. Cann Iallowed her in. The Cobequid's stern was not brok (1, its first reported, according to the account given by Ca pt. clcK innon. In fact, the afterpart was highest out of the water. The C(oheqtid was badly iced up. The 106 personts oil the Cohequixd included 12 first cabin passengers and Another Week MINTE Barga Sale Clos< Don't wait now and get: we are offerii Goods, Mill in< Skirts, Muslin of all kinds, ( Not too lai MINTI! ,Lami in equal number in the second class. drs.

James, mayor of St. George's, Bor nuda, and two Sisters of Charity. Preparations had been made here ,o care for the shipwrecked ones and hey were given every comfort, the ,ity afforded. Trinity Rock, on which the Cobe uild was transfixed, is, a pinnacle of ;ranite rising abruptly from the sea ialf-way between this port and Brier sland. The bay was swept by a typical vestern blizzard as the Cobequid, ound from the tropics, early yester lay began to feel her way toward St. Fohn. The last of the ebb tide was -unning and the wind was strong from he west-conditions which tbnded to Irive the steamer closer to the east rn shore than her skipper antici )ated. The rash came just before dawn Ind a few minutes later the wireless 'S. 0. S." was flashed out. The Cobe luid's operator was unable to give ler location, for no one on board cnew it. Four hours later flood tide 'lid gales had driven the steamer still 'arther on the rocks, breaking her na-k and flooding the engine rnon. 'hi., put out the fires anid interrupted he wireless. The passengers were greatly alarm d, but the courage of Capt. llawson ind his abiding faith in his shill reassured them. Tie steamer took vater ralidly and -the cargo began to ,ear away. Throughout the day and 1he night that followed the officers icanned the sea for passing craft and he operator worked heroically to re store his wireless outfit. Meantime steamers that had pickel tp the first cry for hell) were search ing for the distressed craft. A heavy vaplor on the water landical)ped the searcles, and it was a fisherlanlil o P'ort Maithind shore who first made )mt tile Cohequild as the V1'por rose lat( today. Darkness was gathering fast wheni the rescue began,' but the coastal iteamer boatmeni knew the rock and ;I rrounding shoals well, and went at h1e work before them with 1imerfent ,onfldence.
