Dear Sir.

The unfortunate sea accident
that occurred on Wednesday the 18th
inst. about q miles Northeast of Little
Green-Quay, was in this wise:-Abont
10 30 Elliot and his father-in-law, Mr.. Elick,
(the two occupants of the Eoat) were en-
g"ged in drawing up 3 fish pot from the
water, when on a sudden a flaw came
and almost swamped them. Elliot, as Cap
tain, then ordered the lib to be Stacked off,
but before the order could be obeyed, u
second flaw threw the boat down on her side,
when she instantly sank. Elliot then saw that
Mr.. Ellick was almost helpless in the water, al
though he had caught on to board so Elliot
quickly divesting himself of all wearing appa-
rel, swan to his assistance. and managed to re-
move his JACKET and pants, but unfortunately,
could not take off his flannel and under
pants, lboth pieces being of thick American
feece) The current was drawing strongly
and the waves dashing high against these
two helpless men in the sen, in spite of which
the younger was still endenvouring to
save the older one, when 10, Elliot
saw Ellick's head drop, his arms extended,
he sank lower, and lower, and then vanished.
With a heart rending prayer to God for
help, Elliott then set out to swim the q
miles of water that was between him and
land.
Having reached the nearest l~anding(Little
Green-Quay) he rested awhile and then swan
again for the mainland, and after getting
there, he walked along the beach until he
arrived home.
Mr.. Ellick was one of my best friends.
Beyond any man that l ever knew, he had
q passion for doing good-to Il child, q des-
pissed foreigner, n pauper, q dumb animal.
/ should feel my testimony prtiudiced and
unreliable, did not more impartial judges
indorse me in calling his life a wonder of
self forgetfulness.
Respectfully,
G. ANDUZE.

a Republican Senate and a Republican
President will make 1t possible for a
Democratic President to appoint an ex-
ira Cabinet officer, by creating a new
executive department. Senator Borah
will call up in the Senate to-day the bill
establishing the Department OF Labor,
and its passage is regarded as practi-
cally certain, unless executive business
interferes with it's consideration. The
bill has already passed the House.
Both of the Democratic and Republican
national platform commit their parties to
the creation of a Department of Labor,
and the bill has the support of both
parties in the Senate Its passage means
that the name of the Department of
Commerce and Labor will be changed to
the Department of Commerce, and that
much of the work it has been doing will
be transferred to the new department

PEARY IS IMPROVING.
Operation on Explorer Only a Minor
One.

The condition of Rear Admiral Robert
Z. Peary, discoverer Of the north pole,
who underwent a minor operation at his
apartment in the Burlington on We'd
hesday, was reported last night to be
entirely satisfactory to his physician
and members OF his family. DIR. James
F. Mitchell. who performed the opera
ton. stated that his patient was resting
easily and that he did not expect any
serious Developments.
Reports that Admiral Peary had suf-
fered an attack of appendicitis were en-
phatically denied by Mrs. Peary. wife
of the noted explorer. She admitted
that a minor operation had been per-
formed upon her husband. but refused
to discuss the nature Of 1t.
Mrs. Peary denied her husbands con-
dition to be serious and pronounced false
the rumors that Admiral Peary was lying
at deaths door. She said: THE admiral
has undergone a minor operation and is
well on the road to complete recovery.
The operation was not for appendicitis,

ishing One at Georgetown.

Despite the persistent rumors to the
effect that the port of Georgetown will
be abolished under the Treasury Depart
ment's plans for the reorganization of
the customs service, there seems to be
little likelihood of this taking place.
Whitefield McKinlay, collector of the
port, stated last night that he had not
received any communications from the
Treasury Department which would indi-
cate any disposition to abolish the port.
He Stated that il was his personal opin-
ion that the port would not be abolished.
Collector McKinlay gave as his reasons
for believing this the rapid growth of
the port and the impracticability of con-
solidating the port with those Of the
nearby cities.
Representative Needham OF California
has suggested to Secretary MacVeagh
that instead OF consolidating a number
of ports into one. that the country be
divided into customs districts, similar to
the internal revenue districts, and that
the cities be allowed to retain the title
of port. II this suggestion is adopted,
Georgetown would retain its title of port
and would be officially designated the
port of Georgetown in the customs dis
triCt.

PROTESTS AGAINST
EIGHT-HOUR MEASURE
House Committee on Labor Hears
Arguments Against La Toilette
Peters Bill

Protests against the La Follette-Peters
eight-hour bill, which proposes to limit
the working day of women in the Dis
trict, yesterday were registered before
the House Committee on Labor by dele
cations representing the Retail Mer-
chants Association, Chamber OF Com
merce, Board of Trade. and two women
employees of the tailoring trade.
1t was pointed out that women wage
earners will, in many cases, be replaced
by men if the measure, with prohibition
of all overtime, is put into effect. 1t also
was said that they will be unable to
make up for the time and wages lost in
dull seasons in their trades. Women
workers in Washington, it was further
stated, are paid higher wages for the
work they do than anywhere else in the
country.
r. p Andrews, vice president OF the
Retail Merchants Association, led the
opponents of the bill, and Harry King,
a department store proprietor, made ths
principal argument against the measure
The hearing was adjourned until to-dav
when Mr.. Andrews will present ad-
ditional witnesses against the measure.
George E. Hebbard, representing the
tailoring trade in the Retail Merchants
Association, told the committee that the
bill would work a hardship on the WON.

makes up for this by working overtime
