Senator's Disappointed

Washington, July 31.-A NUMBER
of the Northwestern senators have not
hesitated to express their disappolnt-
ment over the action Of President Tart
in notifying the conference commute
by letter that he expected the rougn
lumber rate to be established at not
more than 1925 These senators,
many of whom worked industriously
to secure higher rate in the senate,
felt that the lumber industry would
bear a share of keeping faith principle
if the 81. SO rate were to become a law.
But the further reduction is, in their
opinion, an unfair apportionment OF
reductions necessary to carry out the
revision promises OF the new
administration.

graduated by scores of friends.

after the session on Saturday afternoon
decided with the rest to take a dip In
the ocean. The party endered the surf
at the foot of Maryland venue, and
Mr.. Burke, who is a strong swimmer,
made for the smooth water just be-
yond the breakers.
The commissioners attention was at
tracted by a cry for help, n turning
about he saw a few feet from him a
party of four, struggling in the water.
Two girls, evidently pretty we'll ex-
hausted, were being supported in the
water by two young men. Mr.. Burke
swan near, crying out for help, but re-
ceived no answe
Finally, one of the girls in the party
ST cured a hold on Mr.. Burke's bathing

behind him, the fire commissioner made
for the shore. BY the time help had
come, Mr.. Burke had succeeded in get
ting the party on the shore, and the
l~ife-savers could only lend a helping
hand in resuscitating Mr.. Burke, who
was exhausted from his hard struggle.
The names cf but one of the rescued
rarty were secured. 1t was that of
Miss Carrie Inman, a nurse maid, who,
with a girl friend, had been caught by
