by every one who knew him. He had
the record for the longest service at the

HERO IS TOO MODEST
TO TELL OF EXPLOITS
Veteran Capt. Kiah Declines to Com
ply With Request of
Senators.

Capt J. X. Kiah. a veteran of the life
saving service on Lakes Huron and Su-
perior. refused today to obey the request
of the Senate commerce committee. His
reason was modeety. He. with a dozen
other grizzled veterans Of the sea and
lakes. was before the committee in its
consideration Of the Townsend bill to
consolidate the revenue cutter and life
saving services.
He was asked to tell something OF the
activity Of the life savers at the time Of
the lake storms last November. He re-
piled that he didn't know much about it:
had been in the hospital at the time.
Thinking his feeble condition and his
hospital experience might have been due
to an accident in the service, Senator
Townsend asked him why he was In the
hospital.
Companion Tells the Story.
Il just found it necessary to have a
little operation" he replied.
The committee begged his pardon fol
asking and was about to proceed wher
Capt E. E Chapman. another old life
saver. sprang to his feet and with his
arm around Capt Kiah said:
MY friend Is a modest man. but I'll
tell it. Years ago he was the only man
to return alive out Of the boatload OF
heroes who saved the lives of twenty
two men and two women In a terrible
wreck of Point Aux Barques."
Then 1t was that Capt. Kiah was ask
ed to tell the story and he refused.
II couldn't do IL" he said, and the
tears came to his eyes. But the incident
loosed the tongues Of some OF the Others
present. and a flood Of oratory resulted.
Capt. s H. Harding, superintendent OF
the Maine and New Hampshire coast
district, said he was more used to look
ing into a blueflsh net than a dictionary.
and to handling an oar than a pen, but
he Interested the committee neverthe.

All Favor the Bill.

All the nfe-savers favored the bill.
They do not care about the consolidation
feature. but they believe the provisions
for retirement pay and increased pay
on the basis Of length Of service will re-
suit in increased efficiency.
Their great trouble. they said. was in
getting good men. A favorable report on
the bill is expected from the committee
soon.

MRS. MACLENNANQU|TS
CONGRESSIONAL UNION
Declares, in Letter, She Is Opposed
to Partisan Pol
itics.
Asks Other Women Who Share Her
Views to Join Her in
Secession.

Calling upon all members of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage
who do not countenance the avowcd
partisan plan of work as enunciated
by the leaders Of the union to form an
auxiliary to the congressional commit
tee OF the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. Mrs. Russell NJ.
MacLennan. formerly one OF the active
workers Of the union. today resigned
from that body in letter to Miss
Alice Paul. its chairman Mrs. Mac
Lehman announced that a meeting OF
women who sympathize with her will
be held in room 5l7 Munsey building.
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
In her letter to Miss Paul, Mrs. Mac
Lehman gave as her reason for resign
ing from the union 1.-The declaration OF
the union that its policy will be an Al
tack upon tho democratic party as Il
whole, should the present democratic
Congress fail to pass the amendment
to the federal Constitution giving tho
franchise to women-or either of the
other political parties should they come
into power"
should Get Vote First.
1T will be time for those women or
organizations of women" added Mrs.
MacLennan. Ito enter partisan politics
when they have the nationwide or. In
the case Of state. statewide right 10
vote" She continued that she was also
tmpelled to tender her resignation be
cause Of her desire to remain regular"
and support the National American
Woman Suffrage Association.
The principle of the national associa-
tion." she continued. ito attack in his
home district any member of Congress.
irrespective of party, who does not APP
prove Of woman suffrage Is only just
To make the whole democratic party
suffer for the faults of few Is mani
fes sly unfair. This reasoning would ap-
ply to either of the other parties were
they in power"
At the same time Mrs. MacLennan
wrote to Mrs Medill Mccormick. chair
man Of the congressional committee, tell
ing her of her resignation from the Con-
gressional Union. She asked Mrs. Nc
Cormick to address the meeting tomor-
row afternoon.
Miss Paul was not in the city today
but Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubbs. press rep
resentative of the union. said that she
had no comment to make on Mrs. Mac
Lennan's action. She added that any
member of the union had a perfect right
to resign IL she thought proper.
Mrs. Mccormick was at the Capitol
today and could not be reached, and.
therefore. it could not be learned what
attitude she takes on this latest de-
velopment in the woman suffrage situa-
ton in the District.

Held in Office by Statute.

In other words, the United States gov
eminent held Capt Chancey's position
for him by a federal statute, and moth
ing could get it away from him. AS an
instance of the high esteem in which
he was held, it was recalled today that
on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary
of his employment in the Capitol the
House passed resolutions congratulating
him and voted him present OF $2.0OO
He was known personally to several
of the Presidents, especially PRESIDENT
Grant and President Taft. He had 1n-
innate relations with the White House
during the Grant administration, and
was fond of telling of a conversation
he had with the President in the White
House at one time when he was doing
some work there for Frederick Grant.
Whenever President Taft would see
Capt. Chancey, he would ask:
well, how is the nag today?"
This inquiry arose from special duty
which the old employee had assigned to
him for years. The flag over the House
of Representatives which Is hauled to tho
top of the staff at the opening of the
daily sessions, and lowered at the end OF
the day, was a special charge Of Capt.
Chancey, who took great pride In seeing
that the drop Of the gavel never found
him absent from the halyards. OF re-
cent years, however, he relinquished the
task for one of the younger employees
The valuable historic flag over the Speak
er's desk had been in his charge for
wears.
