In justice to Mr.. Cryder and to the

up in the plan to change the office

Burned Shirts to Attract Men
On Shore to Save Them

Three men adrift in a stalled motor
boat We're rescued and towed to safe
ty in Chicago by Detective Sergeant
John Stark of the police and George
Moore, real estate man. The men
burned their shirts, saturated in oil,
to attract attention and Stark and
Moore rowed out in a leaky rowboat
to the rescue.
The burning shirts were seen by
hundreds of persons along the north
shore of Lake Michigan and some of
them notified John Donovan, engineer
of the Waterworks at the North Shore
avenue branch. Donavan telephoned
the police station and Stark started
to the rescue. On the way he met
Moore in an automobile. They found
leaky rowboat, which they com
Wandered. Stark rowed and Moore
bailed, then Moore rowed and Stark
bailed. Amid the cheers of the as
semblage on shore they towed the
disabled craft to shore.
The boatman told their rescuers
they had been a mile and half off
shore when they ran out of fuel.
The wind was off shore, and they
were driven further out.
When it grew dark they became
frightened and stripped themselves
of their shirts, soaked them in oil.
and burned them. Then, shivering,
they waited for help.

Catching Fish Out Of
Barn Is Good Sport

ELLSBERRY, Mo.--Catching fish
in a barn is a rather unusual sport,
but r. S. Melone and Walter Mayes
enjoyed that sort of pastime on an
island in the Mississippi river near
here, and came back with a good
catch Of fish.
They had occasion during the
high water to go to Melone's farm
on the island in a launch to cook
after some of the buildings. When
they reached there they found the
water had gone over the island and
the buildings were standing in sew
eral feet of water. When they reach
ed the door of the barn they. found
fish playing around in the shallow
water.
They closed the door and the first
catch that Melone made was 20
pound "buffalo." They kept on fish
ing until they had landed all the
fish they wanted it being no trouble
to trap and catch the finny tribe in
the small Enclosure. The fish swan
in through the door while the water
was up.
Other Ellsberry folks were told of
the unusual occurrence and several
more took trips to the island in a
launch and came back with good
sized catches.

WILL ALLOCATE
MORE SHIPS TO
SOUTHEAST PORTS
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.)
nv TEEGDNRE TILLER

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Admiral
William S. Benson, chairman Of the
United States shipping board, Tues,
will protect the increasing tonnage
of the south Atlantic ports and will
allocate additional vessels as needed
for the commerce of such ports.
Chairman Benson's assurance is
contained in a letter written to Sem
ator Harris. of Georgia. who re-
quested that several wooden vessels
be assigned to the south Atlantic
ports to handle lumber shipments to
Cuba.
simultaneously, the board is ar
ranging to begin the operation July
/ Of new shipping district with
headquarters at Savannah, through
which district will be cleared the
business of the southeastern states
with the shipping board. B. A. Har-
nett, the district director, will as
sumo charge of the district head
quarters by July 1.
In his letter regarding lumber
shipments, Chairman Benson says:
Am pleased to inform you that
our traffic department recently as
signed to managing agents in the
south Atlantic district a number of
these wooden vessels which will be
employed in the carrying Of general
cargo to Cuba"
"These vessels will without doubt
make Brunswick and Savannah their
leading ports if cargo is offered
Finally, I should like to assure
you that we. shall at all times give
our thoughtful consideration to the
requests of the South Atlantic ports
for the assignment of tonnage to pro-
tect their increasing volume of bust
ness"
Creation of new shipping district
in the southeastern states and ap-
pointment of Mr. Harnett as it's di-
rector at the Savannah headquarters
will be of great advantage to the en-
tire tier of southeastern states. For
merly these south Atlantic states
have been in the Norfolk district
Senators, representatives and bust
ness men from North Carolina, South
Carolina Georgia and Florida appeal
ed to the board for a separate ship
ping district, asserting that Norfolk
was almost a northern port and was
far removed from the south Atlantic
ports which are now developing.
The shipping board says that Mr..
Harnett is well qualified to act as di-
rector of the new district. He was
for seven years with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, three years with
the San Francisco Portland Steam
ship company, and thirteen years
with the Oriental Steamship company
During the war he served in the
quartermaster branch of the army.

Car Goes Over 2O-Foot
Bank: Three Women Hurt

COLUMBUS, Ga, June 29-Mrs.
and young lady friend Of the lat
ter, had very narrow escape from
death in an automobile accident when
their Ford car ran down a twenty
foot embankment into Lindsay's
creek as the party was returning
from Warm Springs to Columbus, the
driver, Miss Meyer, having been
blinded by light on a car meeting
her at the crossing.
The car, used by the local Red
Cross, hit the side of the bridge,
and was turned over in the ravine,
carrying the three ladies with it. Just
how they escaped with their lives is
considered a miracle.
The car was smashed to pieces.
Mrs. Pearson was badly bruised up
being hurt in the back and limbs.
Miss Meyer had both arms lacerated
by the windshield and she may lose
one of her hands as a result. The
other young lady was cut about the
hands but not seriously.
The three ladies were hurried &c
the city where medical attention was
had. Miss Meyer is Red Cross nurse
and the car was the property OF the
local Red Cross organization.
