STORY OF THRILLING
RESCUE BY WIRELESS

Irwin, the operator in the airship,
informed Ginsburg, the operator on
the Trent, that the airship Americas
crew wished to abandon the balloon.
Wireless communication was kept up
from this time on between the air
ship and the steamer. Daylight was
rapidly approaching and the Trent was
requested to follow the America,
which was drifting at the rate of IL
miles an hour.

Decide to Abandon Airship.

After a council on the airship it was
decided the best means of rescue was
to launch the lifeboat. But this was
such a hazardous undertaking that
much time elapsed before the maneu-
vering was executed, as the tail Of
the airship, consisting of tanks of gas.
oline and wooden blocks, threatened
to capsi2e the lifeboat as it dropped
from the balloon into the water.
This danger was at last overcome
and the operation was carried out
with success. In the operation the
trailer struck Wireless Operator Jack
Irwin and Louis Loud, the engineer,
and also knocked a small hole in the
side of the lifeboat.
The crew was picked up in latitude
35.43 north, longitude 62.1S west,
where the America was abandoned.
Wellman said that the airship had
been blown far out of her course, so
that it was inadvisable to proceed.

afternoon. The evidence introduced
was conflicting and the true state of
affairs hard to get at. Some say Stadle-
man beat the horse and others that he
did not. 1t seems however, that in try
ing to break the horse to lead they tied
him to a post, and the colt tripped it
self and fell and could not very well
get up or refused to, and so Stadleman
struck it in the ribs to make it get up,
although others c,eiIn he struck it on
the nose. Mrs. Mcmahon was at the
trial on behalf of the Humane society
and told of how she went to see the
colt Monday and it was all bruised
UP, while a man went to see it yester-
day morning and said there were no
signs whatever of the animal having
been beaten.
Justice Mckinney on hearing all the
evidence fined Stadleman 81. and Bod
DIV $40, and the costs amounting to
$15.05.

would save a great deal of money in
families which could we'll afford to pay
for care rather than endure the expense
of long quarantine. The matter of
the evasion of quarantine was also
spoken of, but such evasion seems al
most inevitable until some hospital
care for contagious diseases is pro-
vided.
The session devoted to City Plans
voted to add their hearty endorsement
TO the action taken by the Commercial
Club in voting for a Municipal Plans
Commission, and to express the hope
that such a commission may soon be
ready to assum it's duties. Several
things came up at this session which
made evident the immediate need of
such a commission. The city engi-
neer stated that there is no permanent
grade vet established for the residence
districts OF the city, and that those VINO
make improvements and lay cement
walks on the present grade, with or
without the consent of the City Coun-
Gil, do so with the practical certainty
that such improvements will be torn
up when the permanent grade goes
through. A Municipal Plans Commits
sion is needed at once to see about the
fixing of these grades, as well as to
provide for the gradual growth of a
civic center, and a park and boulevard

other things absolutely necessary for
any city which desires to assume the
rank which Walla Walla desires, call
for larger fund in the city treasury.
The session given to public utilities
brought out the need of a storage res
ervoir 1t also brought out the fact that
the city has no legal right to the water
which it is at present using, and that
the city council is contemplating the
sale of city park lands for the purpose
Of paying for a reservoir for the water
to which the city has no legal right.
The sentiment of the meeting was
against such disposal of park lands,
but in favor of having a reservoir.
This throws us back again to the
question OF taxation.
The day for public health brought
out many suggestions. The fact that
the county poor, including the sick, are
cared for by the system of letting
contract to the lowest bidder was very
greatly deplored The need of having
either a municipal hospital or some
wards in the present hospitals at city
expense was also dwelt upon. The need
of proper care for the tubercular and
inebriate, and of a proper place for
contagious diseases was also empha-
sized This latter need applies not

Council at present and which shows
the absolute need of some commission
which shall have a definite plan con-
corning the growth of the city.
The need of a probation officer was
brought out at the evening session de-
voted to the child and the law. Fortu-
nately this need has already been met
as result of that session through the
appointment of Mr.. Clarence MADDEN of
the Y. M. c. A. in such a capacity The
need of a woman officer to do similar
work for girls was also emphasized.
This matter is referred for considera
ton to the Womans Park club, since
they are already considering the Sc
curing of supervisor for the playground
and since these matters might perhaps
be combined.
The need of stricter sanitary regulo-
tons in places of public amusement wa
strongly emphasized by Mr.. III. G. Mer-
RAM. This matter is referred to the
health office and the Medical society.
1t is also referred in connection with
the plumbing inspection, to the Cen
trail Labor Council
Two matters in connection with the
saloons also came out on this day and
the preceding one. Some regulation
(which would prevent the younger col
jlege students from frequenting saloons
and thereby running their college
course through expulsion was recon-
mended by Mr.. Allen Reynolds. Some
means of securing a midnight closing
was recommended by Councilman John
F. Stack. He quoted the statement of
a saloon keeper to the effect that a
man who was far before twelve was
- - afterwards These matters
are referred to the Civic league to
consider.
On the day devoted to charities the
need for some coordinate COMMITTEES
was very strongly emphasized. This is
a thing which can hardly be too strong
ly emphasized. 1t is referred to all So
cieties doing any charitable work.
Since most of the poor of Walla Wal
Ia have been found to be so as the re-
suit OF Illness, this matter is also re-
ferred to the commission recommended
by Dr. Suttner in case such a COM
mission is appointed.
The reference of specific objects to
specific organization is in no case to-
be taken as shutting out any others
who wish to cooperate, but merely as
forming a convenient center for such
corporation. More complete coopera-
ton through more complete knowledge
has been throughout the purpose OF the
civic institute, and if such coopera-
ton has been attained, with or without
the securing OF any or all of the specific
been justified.
