Buffeted BY the Waves But a Short
Distance in Front Of a Summer
Hotel on the Long Island
Shore.
EIGHT MEN 1MPER1LED
Llfesavers Unable to Aid the Crew of
Sailing Vessel Which Was Caught
In Storm Of the
Night.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-With the sea
sweeping over the deck and driving
back the lifesavers eight men are fac
ing death today aboard three master
ed schooner which was driven ashore
two hundred yards off the Nassau
hotel at Long Branch, Long Island at
three thirty this morning. 1t is be-
lieved to be the Arlington of Boston.
The schoone loomed up out of the
darkness shortly before dawn and ran
ashore with full sail set. The life
savers signalled but were not answer
ed for time and believed the ship to
be deserted. But eight men were seen
aboard when the day broke. The
lifesavers attempted to reach the
stranded craft with a small boat and
attempted to shoot line lor the
breeches buoy but both failed. There
was a fierce gale last night and today.
Saved at Last.
Seven members of the crew of the
Arlington which was bound for Jack
sonville. Fla, from Boston, lumber
laden. were rescued by the lifesayers
at noon after one man was driven out
to sea on life raft. Shortly before noon
one man lashed with rigging crawled
on deck and launched raft. The wind
carried him toward the shore but sud
denly veered and drove him out to sea
with little chance of surviving. The
life savers then made a desperate eff
fort and finally reached the Arlington
and rescued the remaining seven.

Iowa Man VIII Be Prominent in Wash.
lnston This Winter in connee-
ton With conserva-
tion.
MEMBER OF COMMITTEE
He VIII Take an Active Part In the
Work and Will No Doubt Be
Leader In the contro-
versy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IT,
Senator Dolliver of Iowa probably will
be much in the limelight next winter
in connection with the question of
conservation and resources.
This question has been raised to
pitch of unusual interest by the Pin
chot-Ballinger controversy and the al
legations that under the regime Of
Ballinger as secretary of the interior
water powers of great value are being
grabbed up or are not protected with
the care that they should be.
Senator Dolliver is member of the
senate committee on conservation of
natural reources. This committee has
been lately created. 1t Is headed by
Senator Dixon of Montana and has on
it number of republican members
such as Clark of Wyoming and Hey
burn of Idaho, who are flatly opposed
to the policies of Pinchot and Roose-
welt and hostile to the conservation
movement.
1t looks now as If Senator Dolliver
will be the only senator in the repub-
lican side of the committee who would
enter earnestly into struggle for
real conservation.
Inasmuch as the various conserva-
t4onr questions will be-referred to this
committee it Is not at all unlikely
Senator Dolliver will go into the lime,
light in connection with conservation
quite as much as on tariff. He will
doubtless be one of the leaders in the
fight for conservation.
Further talk is heard here today of
Secretary Wilson relative to the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy 1t is said
the president will ask Secretary Will
son to call on Pinchot for an explana-
tion. This would be the usual formal
course as Pinchot is an officer of
Secretary Wilson's department.
