STUDENT RESCUES HIS
FRIEND FROM DEATH
YOUTH RISKS LIFE TO SAVE
COMPANION
Member Of Dillon WaIlace's Labrador
Expedition Has Thrilling Adven-
ture on an Iceberg Off Newfound-
land Coast-Father Tells of Escape
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.--Word was re-
ceived In this city yesterday that Cliff
ford Hamilton Easton, the young Bilt-
more student, who is Dillon Wallace's
companion, now in the remote regions
of Labrador, narrowly escaped drown
ing off the coast of st. Johns, N. f.
N. G. Charles, the young Columbia
student who left the expedition and
is now on his way home, saved Eas-
tons life. This fact Is corroborated
by young Easton'S father, an attorney
here.
When they were about two days out
from ST. Johns they saw huge ice
berg outlined against the sky. Eas-
ton, burning for excitement, jumped
into skiff and pulled against the tide.
He was determined to see a real ice
berg at close quarters and bent every
muscle to reach 1t. Several times his
skiff was whirled around by the cur
rent, but he turned again each time
and was lost to view for more than q
quarter of an hour. Wallace ordered
the vessel turned toward the iceberg
and five minutes later, with the aid of
glasses, they beheld Easton on top of
the huge iceberg.
The party at first believed the ice
mountain to be solid, but soon they
saw Easton raising a distress signal.
The next moment the iceberg split in
two Easton slipped into the vortex
and was lost to sight Eastons father
says: young Mr.. Richards saved my
sons life. He jumped into the gap,
caught the boy and shot his boat right
into the middle of the iceberg. He
was in deadly danger of being crushed
at any moment. My son was then
struggling in the icy water, but Rich
ards dragged him into the boat"

BUNKERS MUST
SERVE SENTENCE
APPELLATE COURT SUSTAlNS
VERDICT
Former Senator Convicted Of Bribery
VIII Be Forced to Go to San
Quentin Penltentlary for
Five Years
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO Nov. 16. - Harry
Bunkers, the former San Francisco
senator, convicted last April by jury
in Judge e. c. Hart's department of
the superior court for bribery and sem
fenced to five years imprisonment at
San Quentin, must serve the sentence
imposed, according to decision hand
ed down today by the appellate court
denying the convicted ex-legislator's
appeal for new trial
The decision affirming the Judgment
sending the former senator to state
prison was written by Associate JUS
tice Charles e. Mclaughlin and con-
Cured in by Presiding Justice N. Z.
Chjpman and Associate Justice A. j.
Backles.
The decision is lengthy, covering
twenty pages of typewriter legal cap.
and goes very fully into an analysis OF
the case and the testimony adduced at
the trial of Bunkers, together with the
many points raised on appeal
A notable feature of the decision Is
the exoneration of many witnesses In
the case Of Bunkers of the charge OF
conspiracy, notably Clarence Grange OF
the Phoenix Building and Loan asso-
ciation Gavin McNab, a director OF
the Continental Building ana Loan as
sociaton; Moses Hines Fremont older
editor of the San Francisco Bulletin,
and the witness Russell for the Conti-
mental and the detectives, George N.
Tichenor and Henry Hartling.
In generating these persons from
the charge of conspiracy set up the
court says:
ut cannot be said that the conduct
of said witnesses, or any of them, con-
clusively establishes a criminal intent.
The avowed purpose, the employment
of detectives, the general course pur-
sued, and the voluntary exposure OF
the whole affair, combine to indicate
the contrary"
In the course of the decision 1t is said
that many facts and circumstances are
found to connect the defendant with
the crime of which he was charged
and convicted, and then follows an
elaborate review of the testimony
bearing on the appellants guilt.
The appellate court sustains Superior
Judge Hart, before whom the case was
tried, in his rulings in the admission
of certain testimony.
