The Senator from Ohio. who has made a

the event of a downpour Of rain such as
brought on the recent floods. Even in

Senator Burton believes that system

More valuable land would be used for the

EXPECT RETIREMENT
OF CAPTAIN DANIELS
Captain Of Cutter Androscoggin
Made Famous Dash Through
Ice Of Bonne Bay.

Capt George NJ. Daniels, United States
Revenue Cutter Service. who has been in
Ill health for several months, will prob
ably be retired from active service. The
report of an examining board Is now
in the hands of President Wilson.
Captain Daniels was the captain OF
the cutter Androscoggin that made a
famous dash through great ice fields In
the winter of 1911-12, to the forbidden
waters of Bonne bay and Bay Of Is
lands, to the rescue Of the Gloucester
fishing feet Of 720 vessels.
Every one Of these fishing vessels
was cut out, and safely run down the
western coast Of Newfoundland. Cap
tain Daniels has been in iii health prac-
tically ever since he pulled this ex-
plot and for many months he has been
suffering from neurasthenia and other
nervous trouble. Whether 1t was this
dash that finally broke his iron nerve.
is not known, but there are many Of
ficers in the service who think SO.
The Gloucester fishing fleet was i'm
prisoned in the ice near the Labrador
coast, the vessels facing destruction and
masters and crews in danger Of star
vation. That February weather was the
coldest ever experienced along the At
lantic seaboard. and 1t was while II
was at its worst that word came south
of the plight of the fishermen. The
Government was besieged to furnish re-
lief, and the revenue cutter service vol
unteered.
