3 ARE RESCUED
AFTER BATTLE
WITH GALE
Life Savers Cease Efforts to
Reach Others on Wreck Till
Storm Abates.

NORFOLK, VA, Feb. 21.-After
risking their lives time and again in
a terrible gale, members OF the Little
Island Life-saving Station succeeded
this morning in rescuing three men
from a steamship which crashed
ashore in a 55-mile gale off here last
night.
The men were brought to shore in
the breeches buoy and were almost
helpless from exposure and exhaustion
when taken into the life-saving sta
ton.
The high seas compelled the life
savers to abandon for the time their
attempts to rescue twenty other per-
sons on board, but they reported they
probably will be able to do so later IN
the day.
The ship is supposed to be the Brit
ish steamer Riverdale. After fueling
here, the United States revenue cut

disaster.

WOMEN NEEDED
IN CITY BOARDS,
THEY ASSERT
Club Leaders Open Campaign,
Saying Time Has Come for
Change in System.

Mayor Woodward having told the
Atlanta clubwomen. in meeting as
sembled, that he had less power than
any other Mayor in these United
States, the Atlanta clubwomen are
planning to help out the Mayor, also
Atlanta, and TO that end they recon-
mend to the Council 1.-The expediency
of placing on certain municipal boards
a minority of women members"
And the Mayor. as may be con-
cluded from his speech Friday before
the annual meeting of the City Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, Is rather
favorable to the idea.
Wherefore. the Atlanta clubwomen
are more than ever keen to get into
municipal housekeeping (Which the
Mayor says now is too compleX-and
show the men how to straighten out
certain tangles in civic operation.
1t is not argued that the addition of
women to boards and committees
would render the situation less COM
plex, but the women say that the
fact that time means money 10 men
more frequently than to women would
result in more careful attention to
civic affairs by the boards and COM
mittees having women members, even
in a minority.
Women Adopt Resolutions.
The intent of the clubwomen is
very clearly set forth in the follow
ing resolutions, adopted Friday at the
big meeting in the Womans Club
Building in West Baker street:
Whereas the administration. of the
municipal affairs of Atlanta Is daily
becoming more complex and more
burdened by an ever growing mass of
detail; and
Whereas the best possible house
keeping for Atlanta, in every phase
of it's life, is of as vital interest to
the women of Atlanta as to it's men;
and
Whereas capable women can be
found competent to aid in the strug
gle for a better, cleaner, happier At
lanta; and
Whereas such aid from compe-
tent women would not only bring
strength to these departments, but
would partially relieve the pressure
of municipal duty which is now laid
entirely upon men, to whom more
frequently than to women time
means money" Therefore, be it
Ask for Board Members.
Resolved, That the City Federation
Of Women's Clubs composed of Sc
organizations and approximately 1000
members) at its midwinter meeting
recommends to the General Council of
Atlanta the eXpediency of placing
upon certain municipal boards a mi
nority of women members.
Women would be especially useful

This recommendation is made not

Speakers Praise Women.
Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin, president of
the City Federation, presided at the
session, and the speakers for the oc-
casion were Mayor Woodward, DR.
Claude Smith, representing the health
department: James l.. Mayson, City
Attorney; Claude Ashley, chairman
of sanitation: Jesse Wood, chairman
of parks, and A. w. Farlinger, chair
man of libraries.
Every one of these speakers ex-
pressed, more or less directly, his be-
lief that women could exercise a great
and helpful influence in the admin
istration of civic affairs, and the hope
that the Atlanta clubwomen would in
future be more closely allied with the
actual operation of the various de-
partments.

Washington, Feb IA storm of
protests against the new express
rates on fruits shipped from Florida
to Northern points broke loose yes
terday and the Interstate Commerce
Commission is swamped.
Representative Frank Clark sent
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion a vigorous protest which he in

campaign against the new rates.
In his letter he shows by quoting
specific rates how the new schedule
would paralyze the farmers of Flor
ida, and adds:
Il know the rate has been reduc-
ei on some articles of merchandise,
but mostly on articles being shipped
South, or into Florida, and the fact
remains that these rates, if allowed
to remain in force, are absolutely
prohibitory at least so far as canta-
loupes, tomatoes and cucumbers are
concerned.
IAN three of these are important
products of my district AMI state
| These rates, if allowed to stand
will ruin hundreds of farmers in

company, because there will be nc
shipments.

in which the commission should ac
and act promptly. In behalf of my
constituency, l appeal to you to act
and if you can do no more, at leas

for a period Of sixty or thirty day;
and give our people a chance to b.
heard. l will very much appreciate
