TERRIBLE
 EXPERIENCE
 OF NATIVE Exists 16 Days on Narrow Sea Ledge Exposed to Storms and
 High Tides. TIED ROPE ABOUT BODY Lived on RainWater and Two Raw Potatoes and Reduced to
 Skeleton.
TIED ROPE ABOUT BODY

PRINCE RUPERT, Nov. IT, Having existed 16 days on rainwa- ter and two potatoes on ledge of rock, soaked constantly with rain and chilled to the bone, and re- duced in weight to 100 pounds, Ste phen Ryan, a native of Metlakahtla, was rescued yesterday.
 He was believed to have been drowned. His launch was wrecked and he managed to climb to narrow ledge of rocks. /. At every high tide he was partly submerged and was constantly drenched with spray from the sea, as well as exposed to the full force of the driving winds and rain and snow storms.
 He managed to keep his hold on the narrow ledge by means of a rope which he tied about his body and fastened to one of the jutting rocks.
 Before his experience, Ryan was a powerful man, in the pink of health. He was reduced in weight to 100 pounds. The two raw po- tatoes foated ashore from the wreck, as well as the piece of rope which saved his life.

THEIR ESCAPE FROM DEATH IS
 MIRACULOUS Congressman from United States Under Heavy
 Fire on the Bel gium Front. PLEASED WITH THE TRIP They Insisted on Getting Near the Front Lines
 in Order to See
 Fight.
PLEASED WITH THE TRIP
BRITISH FRONT IN BELGIUM.

BRITISH FRONT IN BELGIUM, Nov. 17.-Five members of the party of American Congressmen and private citizens visiting the Belgium front had narrow escape from death and injury when a sud den burst of German machine gun fire caught them while inspecting the front line of trenches.
 None was hit by peculiar freak of good luck, because the shots came in a shower.
 A short time later the Germans dropped big shell near them, en- dangsring the lives of the entire party. No one, however, was hurt which seems a little short of a miracle.
 The party included Congressman Charles B. 1. Timberlake, of Colo rado; Congressman John F. Miller, of Seattle, and Congressman Albert Johnson, of Hoquiam, Washington, as well as former Congressman Tom Stout, of Montana.
 The Congressmen spent the night near the trenches where the Ger man lines run within 30 yards of the British lines.
 At one point of vantage where the party was under fire, only the usual warfare firing was under way. Under the guidance of Bel gium officers the Americans insist ed on getting close as possible to the lines and were taken to place where they secured an excellent view of the field, and were then subjected and exposed to the full force of the German fre.
 The Congressmen arriving at . coast port departed for England. They declared to The Associated Press that the trip to the front had been most satisfactory; that the reception accorded them every place, could not be more cordial. They were especially pleased with the invitation of King Albert of Belgium to take tea with him. The King made them feel at home and chatted freely for some time about war conditions. Brandt Whitlock was also present at the invitation of the King.

Mexican Offers 50,000 Prime Beef Cattle to
 Meat Markets in
 San Francisco.
SAYS CLIQUE CONTROLS
Also States That He Was Unable to Dispose of 10000 Horse
 Hides.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-De spite the high price of meat and "meatless days and meals. D. E. Eastman, representing the cattle in terests of Mexico said he was un able to sell herd of 50,000 prime beef which came from the ranches of Gen. Obregon, and was offered for cents per pound to butchers
 He said that the usual excuse given by the meat dealers was that their storage rooms were filled.
 MT. Eastman is positive that if a market offered Mexico could fur nish many times the quantity want ed, but he says the evidence all points that the people of the Unit ed States are in the hands of g clique who regulate the supply and dictate the price.
 Eastman declared that the same conditions applied to leather; that he was unable to sell 10000 horse and burro hides despite the present high price of shoes.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-Governor Charles s. Whitman announced last night that he would not attend any public dinners or banquets during the present war.

He said it seemed that the least public officials could do would be to stay at home and deny themselves unnecessary pleas ures, as well as all Americans.

SUGGEST SUSPENSION
OF FRESHMEN RULE
Move Is Believed to he Taught With
Dangerous Possible
ties.
international News Service /:


NEW YORK, May 29.-It has been
suggested by quite a number of col
leses that. in view of the loss of a
great many athletes through enlist
ment il would be advisable next
autumn to suspend the rule barring
freshmen from varsity teams. on
the surface this appears to be a
wise suggestion, but analysis shows
il to be fraught with unpleasant
possibilities 1t seems to reflect on
the motive for competitive sport and
tends TO great stress on victory.
The abrogation of the one-year
rule in the cases of freshmen, even
in war time. would develop all the
old evils against which the restric-
ton was framed. In fact. il might
bring about more trouble than in
days of peace. With a host of the
major performers the temptation
for scholastic stars. with an open
avenue 10 immediate places on var
sity teams. would be increased. The
temptation TO bid for these stars
might also grow.
Only at the very small colleges is
the presence Of freshmen on varsity
teams justified. At the big colleges
the organization Of freshmen teams
affords plenty Of opportunity for
competition. Pennsylvania. which
for a time was counseling the sus-
pension of the freshmen rule. al
ready has decided that such move
would not be wise.
