they favor his policies, but for no

This is an argument we have ad-
vanced time and again. and If no
other reasons were forthcoming
this, of itself is a suffciency. The
masses are Disguised with the reck-
less extravaganza which has existed
In Washington for many years. The

last session of congress expendi-

$S4 100000 for the navy. and of

THREE MEN ADRIFT IN SKIFF
RESCUED IN THE NICK OF TIME
Tide Carries Boat Toward Open
Sea and Party Suffers With
Cold.
FRED ODLUM THE RESCuEH
James Moran, Louis COnIaY and
Michael DanCV Have a Thrill
ing Experiences.

Detective James Moran, Louis
Conley, the dog catcher, and Michael
Dancy had thrilling experience on
the waters of the bay yesterday after
noon.
The party secured a large skin
and rowed to Sea Breeze. After
spending several hours digging clans
on the beach, they embarked for the
return trip to this city.
Rowing against the strong wind
was no easy task and in a short time
the party realized that they were
going seaward. They redoubled
their work at the oars, but in spite
of their efforts, drifted farther out.
The men were weakened by the cold
and, after laboring nearly three
hours gave up in desperation. The
heavy sea threatened to capsize their
craft and there were no boats in
sight to which they could call tor
help.
Night was beginning to fall and
just when their predicament began
to look even more serious, they saw
a launch coming toward them from
the shore. The occupant of the
launch proved to be Fred Odlum, who
had seen their distress signals. A
line from the skiff was made fast to
launch coming toward them from
the launch and they were towed
ashore, but only after the launch had
broken down and been repaired.
Moran in telling of the experience,
said that he had never been so cold
in his life, and he thought many
times that the skiff would fill with
water

SAILING is NOT
ALL SMOOTH
Alleged 10 Be DiSCOrd Among
Those Connected With the
Home For The Aged.
A MEETING HELD YESTERDAY

There was joint meeting of the
Board of Trustees and the ladies'
board of the Home for the Aged yes
terday afternoon, at the home of the
president of the latter board, Mrs.
Everett L. Brown, 8S High street.
Owing to alleged discord among
members of the ladies' board, 1t was
decided yesterday not to give. out fur
ther accounts of proceedings to the
newspapers. A committee was APP
pointed to have charge of any mat
ter that might be made public, such
as notices of benefit affairs and the
like, but nobody would tell today
OF yesterdays meeting.
When several members of the
board were seen this morning, all
refused to give out information be-
yond the fact, that a regular meeting
was held yesterday and routine busi-
ness transacted.
A disagreement is known to have
long existed between certain officers
of the ladies board. The Board OF
Trustees have little to say about 1t,
other than that they were satisfied
with the manner in which the home
has been conducted the past year.
