PLANS FOR LIFE SAVING.
Secretary McAdoo Suggests
Volunteer Service in Area
Subject to Floods.

A plan for volunteer life-saving serv-
ice, to act as the nucleus of rescue corps
in those parts of the country shown by
past experience to be liable to floods, has
been suggested to Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo, and the plan has been dis
cussed by various Treasury officials. VINO
believe 1t could be carried out without the
necessity of special legislation or OF
other laws than those now governing the
regular life-saving service.
The plan as suggested contemplates the
establishment of life-saving stations at
number of points throughout the middle
west. the stations to be equipped with
power boats and other apparatus
Manned by Volunteers.
These stations, according to the plan
suggested. would be manned by volun-
teer crews composed of young men, who
would receive a certain amount of drill
and training to make them of value in
the organization of rescue forces in
case of flood, tornado or other calamity.
Without having gone deeply into the
matter, Secretary McAdOO believes the
plan could be carried out at little or
no expense, aside from that entailed
in building and eduipping the stations.
He is further of the opinion that funds
already available for life-Saving work
could be drawn on for the money with
which to put up and outfit the stations.

DRUM CORPS TO Go
TO THE INAUGURAL

The Red Mems famous drum corps,
which, on many occasions, has enliv-
ened public festivities and conventions
in Atlanta and throughout the South,
will be a red shirted, red capped fea-
ture of the inaugural parade in Wash

The drum corps is peculiarly an es-

origin before the Revolution, when the
pioneers of this country met in the
forests disguised as Indians and
planned to throw off the British yoke.
Later the same DISCUSSES were used
when the boycotted tea was dumped
into Boston harbor.
The drum corps by long practice, has
reached the acme of perfection in it's

MENACE REVISION
Democratic Congress Finds
Itself Face to Face With
Revenue Problem.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-Confronted
with the problem of raising at least
one-third of a billion dollars a year out
of customs revenues, the Democrats of
the house ways and means committee
got down to work today in executive
session to prepare a general plan of
tariff revision.
Before the committee can decide the
details of revising each schedule, a gen.
eral program must be agreed upon as to
how the $330,000,0O0 or more must be
apportioned among the several sched
ules. Members of the committee adj
mitted the task was largely a mathemat-
ical problem and that 1t might be neces-
sary to collect in the aggregate from
customs duties more than is collected
undert he Payne-Aldrich bill
If the plans of Chairman Underwood
be followed, hardly an import of any
kind will escape a small tax, excepting
food
The Democratic policy will be, it was
stated, to levy q tax on practically
everything, but to reduce the tariff
enough in all cases to give the foreign
manufacturer a chance to compete on
even terms in this country with the
American manufacturer 1t is expected
that the bill will be completed about
March 10.

Escapes When Fashionable
Aiken Hosiery Burns.

AIKEN, S. c., Feb. 3.-Many wealthy
for in private homes here, others have
gone to hotels in Augusta and some
have left for their homes in the North,
following a $250,0OO fire that yesterday
destroyed the Park in the-P Pines tour
list hotel here. The handsome 177-room
three story building is a mass of ruins.
Many thousand dollars of the loss
was suffered by guests, whose cloth
Ing, jewelry and other personal prop
erty went up in smoke and flame. A
number of guests had narrow escapes.
The fire burned so rapidly guests had
little chance to save their belongings.
The fire originated in a store room in
the basement, directly at the foot of
the elevator shaft, the flames, fed by
the draft, mounting quickly through
the aperture and spreading quickly.
AS soon as the alarm was sounded
through the hotel the guests poured
frantically from the building. They
saved nothing except such small things
as were in reach as they fed to the
halls, only to be turned back by the
black volume of suffocating smoke to
the fire escapes.
Guests Heavy Losers.
Mrs. John w. Nary and her two
daughters. Of Trenton, N. j., left on a
dressing table more than $4,000 worth
of jewelry.
c. ]. MacSoud and his sister, Miss C.
MacSoud, Syrians, from New York, had
on display in one of the upper rooms
more than $4,000 worth of rugs. laces
and fancy goods, which were de-
stroyed
An aged New Yorker, Mr. Open
heimer, was rescued from a second
story window by Theodore Price and
S. S. Price, of New York, who found a
ladder and went to his assistance.
Colonel A, E. Dick, manager of the
hotel, was overcome by the dense
smoke, when he rushed into the base
ment as soon as the fire was discov-
cred, and would have suffocated had
not help reached him. He was dragged
out in a semi conscious state.
In the office safe, deposited by
guests, were several thousand dollars,
but so rapid was the spread of the
flames that. although the safe was
open, the clerks could not save the
money ten minutes after, the fire was
discovered
