Washington, February 5.--The House of Representative today avoided going on record on presidential third terY s Just at the moment when the Slpl ..., resolution. aimed primarily at z % Theodore Roosevelt. seemed >o[o co pass, a shrewd parliamentax dis placed the measure from osSsr con- sideration. It may be later in the session, but it's p< of vantage on the House calendar IS lost

It sought to express the opinion of the House that the example of Washing ton in retiring after a second term, had by universal concurrence become the time honored custom of the coun- try, a violation of which would be fraught with peril to free institutions.
 The resolution was called up today with but little warning and there was a quick matching of wits. Suspension of the rules was required to pass the measure, and to suspend the rules a second" had to be considered as or dered MT. Sims of Tennessee objected to the second" and a vote by tellers on ordering this parliamentary move necessary. The republicans in hurried conference had determined not to vote on the resolution, thus putting the democrats in the position of passing the measure by a party vote, and in the opinion of a nufhber of them indicating fear of Mr Roosevelt as the republi- can nominee.
 Hence the bulk of the democrats de- cided not to vote for the second" and it was defeated 90 to 51. Four repub- licans, however, cast their votes for the second Former Speaker Cannon led the way and was followed by MT. Mccall of Massachusetts. who had planned to speak against the third term idea; MT. Bingham of Pennsylvania, father of the House. and MT Hig- gins of Connecticut.
 With the second" defeated, MT. Slayden was forced amid a burst of applause to withdraw his motion for suspension of the rules. The resolution was returned to the committee on cleo tions

WOSzCzYNSKI SAVED
FRIEND FROM DEATH
Mayor of West Hammond
Greets Man Whose Life
He Saved.

When Joe Zouboulski reached Ham
mond yesterday he first went to the
Orpheum theatre. where he is appear
ing the remainder of the week in his
clay modelling act He next made haste
to look up Mayor K. NJ. Woszczynski of
West Hammond to renew a friendship
made years ago on an Atlantic liner
bound for American shores, when the
present chief executive of West Ham
mond saved the now-vaudevillian from
death in the chilly waters of the great
ocan.
Mayor Woszszynski and Zouboulski
both made their first trip to the United
States on the same ship. They stuck
up acquaintance during the trip
across. One day during a heavy sea a
great wave dashed over the deck of the
ship. The two men were standing near
each other. The clay moulder was
engulfed in the freacherous waters
while the mayor clutched the rail. AS
the waters receded Zouboulski, who
was stunned, being washed against the
cabin side, was carried with them. At
the risk of his own life Woszczynski
released his old on the rail and dashed
to the assistance of his comrade.
Both men were washed over the rail,
but WoszczynSkl managed 10 gran nold
of a rope than dangled from the side of
the liner and held on until assistance
arrived. The event served to cement
the friendship that had sprung up be-
tween the two Polish men. On their
arrival in New York they parted and
| this is the first time since that they
| have seen one another.
Mayor Woszczynski and party OF
