Chamber of Commerce Has. Topics of
Live Interest for Consideration
at Special Meeting.

The subject of a drawback bill in
Congress to provide for remitting the
duties on materials to be used in the
reconstruction of san Francisco will be
discussed at a special meeting of the
San Francisco Chamber OF Commerce in

funds for the rehabilitation of the

up for hearing. President Spear of the
Board of State Harbor Commissioners

on frei lights crossing the State property
on the water front.
There are two drawback propositions
before Congress. One was introduced
by Senator Cullom and one by Con-
gresham Gaines. The text of the Gull
lom measure is as follows:
Whereas, In view of the fact that
there is a shortage in structural steel
and other building material in this
country to meet the needs of San Fran
cisco and other California cities de-

should be done to facilitate the recon

The period of one year is declared 70

SEAMAN OF MAINE

but Are a Moment
Too Late.
Strong Tide Carries a Good
Swimmer to Death
in Hudson.

NEW YORK, May 3o.-while the
rain was falling in torrents on Monday
afternoon there was a desperate race
on the Hudson River by steam
launch from the battleship Maine, the
flagship of the North Atlantic fleet. and
another from her sister ship, the Mis-
souri,, to save the life OF Arthur Reese
of Colorado, a seaman of Admiral Ev-
ans flagship. Reese disappeared be-
meath the waves when the launch from
the Maine was within twenty feet of
him. Details of the attempted rescue
were made public yesterday.
Unnoticed. Reese fell from the ia
cob's ladder while going aboard the
Maine When first seen he was strug
Cling in the water about eighty yards
from the ship. Midshipman Drake. the
officer of the deck. saw the seaman in
the water and shouted to the coxswain
and for the men in the launch TO cast
off and go to the rescue.
Reese was an expert swimmer, but
the tide was running at least three
miles an hour and he was carried rap
the Maine had on every pound of
steam. Her coxswain shouted TO
Reese to keep up his courage. as the
rescue was only a question of time.
The swiftly ebbing tide made IT pos
sible for the launch to gain rapidly on
the seaman. who was being swept to-
ward the anchorage of the Missouri.
Reese was sixty yards south of the
Maine and the launch was going at full
speed about fifty yards astern. when a
launch from the Missouri, which was
coming from the shore. sighted the
racing craft. The coxswain imme
diately turned his boat up stream.
where Reese. now almost exhausted,
was struggling to keep above water.
The little engine on the Missouris
launch puffed with will, but il was a
hard job to buck the tide and she could
make little headway The launch from
the Maine. assisted by the ebbing tide,
fairly skinned over the waves and had
almost reached Reese. The coxswain
was leaning far overheard with boat
hook in hand. when suddenly. just as
the men who lined the decks of the
Maine and the Missouri were getting
ready to cheer. the young seaman sank.
He was not seen again
we did everything we could to save
him. said Captain Niles, but luck. in
the shape of an unusually strong tide
and the heavy rain, was against u.s."

SUMMER ILLS COUNTERACTED
BY the PROPER Use Of Duny's Pure Malt
Whiskey.

Hot weather brings long list of
Ills to us poor mortals unless our sys-
TENS are in a condition to withstand
them. Diarrhea, cholera morbus, stom-
ach ache, heart failure, fainting, weak
stomach, malaria, chills, fevers, pros
tration. and many others, all have vic
tins during the summer months Ev-
cry one should use the utmost care to
guard. against these. especially as this
can be most easily done by keeping the
system in proper condition.
Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an alb
solutely pure tonic-stimulant and is
much used by physicians in all weak
ening, wasting rundown conditions of
body. brain, nerve and muscles. A tea
spoonful in every glass of water you
drink will be of much value. 1t cools
the blood, regulates the system
and thus reduces to a minimum ones
chances of being affected by disease.
