capes Suffocation When
Cylinder Bursts.

J. D. schamel, forty-three years old.
Of 935 Virginia avenue southwest, mar
rowly escaped suffocation from ammonia
fumes escaping from a bursted cylinder
head in the basement Of the Old Dutch
Market. 2oo2 Georgia avenue northwest.
about 1880 o'clock this morning It was
due to the work Of members Of the fire
department that he was rescued.
Schamel was taken to Emergency Hos
pital after a pulmoter had been used to
revive him. 1t was stated at the hospital
his condition is improved and that he will
recover.
schamel, with a colored man employed
at the market, went to the basement
shortly after o'clock. He went to the
at the market for the purpose Of turning
off the ammonia supply. according to in
formation received by the police, but in
stead of turning 1t Off. did just the op-
fluid to enter. The increased pressure. it
was stated. caused the cylinder head
to blow out. Almost instantly the entire
basement was filled with the fumes Of the
not near the machine at the time and
managed to escape. Schamel. however
was not so fortunate and within a few
seconds was overcome.
The colored man. who had escaped,
gave the alarm and the fire depart

with the arrival Of the ambulances
also came pulmotors from several fac
tories, and an ammonia helmet was OBJ
tanned from the Home Ice Company.
When the flremen arrived at the
place the fumes did not have much
outlet from the basement, SO a hole
was cut through skylight in the
pavement. Privates Richard White and
Floyd Whitlock Of No. truck COM
pany entered the basement with only
wet sponges about their mouths and
noses and managed to find Schamel.
They dragged him a distance of about
seventy-five feet from the front part
of the basement to the rear, but were
unable to find an exit. The two res
cuers themselves were fast being over
come by the ammonia fumes and they
were forced to leave the basement and
make their escape.
Fireman in Heroic Rescue.
The ammonia helmet from the ice
plant had been brought to the scene
about that time and Capt. E. Howard
of No Engine Company donned it.
Entering the basement. he picked up
the unconscious Schamel and carried
him to an exit. where other firemen
aided in carrying Schamel to the
street The pulmotor was applied
Immediately and within a short time
he was being restored to consciousness.
Scores of persons on their way to
their places of employment were at
tracted to the scene, and the police
OF the eighth precinct were kept busy
in keeping the crowd at a safe dis
tance, although the escaping fumes

MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Had this Government by the
use of both Informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
clsely what we said, and that
we should unhesitatingly gindi-
cate that position, am corr.
dent that there would have been
no destruction of American lives
by the sinking of the Lusitania.
There, we had ample notice; in
fact, published notice. Further
more, we knew the situation
and we did net require specific
notice. Instead of whiting
away our formal statements by
equivocal conversations, we need
ed the straight, direct and de-
clsive representations which ev-
cry diplomat and foreign office
would understand. believe
that in this way we should have
been spared the repeated as
saulto on American lives. More
over, firm American policy
would have been strongly sup
ported by cur people and the OPP
portunities for the Development
Of bitter feeling would have
been vastly reduccd.-From Mr..
Hughes speech Of acceptance.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
| did reduce the opportunities OF
making living. Let US not for
get the conditions that existed
In this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak Of
the war. Production had de-
creased, business was languish-
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead of expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filed with the
unemployed. What ground is
there for expecting better con-
+ ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus Of the war has spent
it's force and our industries and
working men are exposed to the
competition of an energized Eu-
rope?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

acceptance.

After all it is not so much the
little MISUNDERSTANDING and disagree
ments of the people over local af-
fairs that counts against the perma
nent and healthy growth and expan
sion of the community as it is a
lack of concert of action and en-
thusiastic support given to the real
ly big and important things that
come up for consideration. We are
inclined to believe that Payette is
going to grow and prosper exactly in
proportion to the amount of well
directed effort put forth by its citi-
zens when questions of paramount
Importance to the general advance
ment of public interests have to
be solved.

Hon Burton L. French, who is
again seeking the Republican nomi-
nation for Congressman, was a Pay
cite visitor Saturday, remaining over
until Sunday evening. Mr.. French
was kept busy meeting his old
friends and making new acquaint-
ances. 1t is evident that he has
lost none of his former popularity in
this community and that in the pri-
mary election he will be found
strong as usual as a vote getter.
Mr.. French served the people of
Idaho faithfully and efficiently in
congress for ten years. We believe
he made mistake when he entered
the senatorial race which resulted in
his defeat and retirement from the
lower branch of congress, but his
services have been ofra kind not
to be forgotten by the people oil
this state and they will unquestion
ably take this first opportunity to
send him back to continue the work
which he has proven himself fully
qualified to perform. Idaho could
ask for no better representation in
the lower house of congress than !
