WHERE WIDE EXTREMES srE,,q,
Huge Bald Eagle and IL Salmon Fiprt
for tho Mastery.

Seattle, WASH, Aug. 4. - Eya,y
man aboard the schooner Roosevelt
from the master to the cook, lin
from recent voyage, said that they
would take an oath that they saw a
huge bald eagle take a wild ride on
salmon's back in the stretch of
water between Cape Nudge and Sew
mour Narrows, Gulf Of Georgia, And
they brought the eagle to Seattle TO
prove it. %
The Roosevelt was on it's way to
Seattle from the fishing banks in
llccatc Strait. Shortly after passing
Seymour Narrows members Of the
crew said that they noticed a bald
eagle flying close to the water, near
tho vessel. AS they watched the big
bird skimming near the surface. a
spring salmon, estimated to weigh
about 20 pounds, leaped clear OF the
swift-mOving current. Quick IA n
flash the eagle drove his sharp talons
into the fishs back.
There was great splash as the
big springer dived. taking the eagle
beneath the surface. All hands then
rushed to the rail to watch the strug-
gle. Three times, they said, the fish
and the bird disappeared beneath the
water, while the Roosevelt steered a
course close behind them.
Finally the eagle loosened its hold
on the salmon and Topped over on
the surface Of the water. completely
exhausted. 1t had put up game
fight, but had lost its prey. The crew
OF the Roosevelt pulled the bird into
their vessel with bait hook. The
eagle was nearly drowned, but on
the deck he soon recovered and then
showed fight.
While the battle between the bird
and the fish was in progress. two
other eagles, the Roosevelt's men de-
clared, flew around the vicinity, ap-
parently greatly excited and scream
ing loudly. Capt. Barney Pedersan
presented the captured eagle to one
Of the local public parks.

INQUIRY
INTO HOSPITAL FIRE.
Representative c. j. Nc.
Leod's Resolution Aimed at
Walter Reed Protection.

Congressional inquiry into the cause
Of the fatal fire at Walter Reed Hos
pital Sunday with a view to fixing the
provide adequate safeguards for the
war heroes living in the dimsy frame
structures was started today. :
Representative Clarence j. Mcleod
of Michigan, the baby member Of the
House. who was himself stationed for
time at Walter Reed Hospital while
in the intelligence service, introduced a
resolution. This asks for a report to
the House on the cause of the fire at
Walter Reed, whether there was any
faulty discipline which allowed an in
sane patient to build fire in his room,
what fire protection there is and what
provisions have been made for getting
out the manned soldiers in case of fire
Representative, Mcleod said that he
is convinced, and conferences with
many members of Congress show that
they feel the same way, that there
must have been some laxity of dis
cipline which would allow an insane
patient. especially a newly arrived
patient whose habits and disposition
were not known to those in charge,
to build fire In his room. He thinks
also that there was insufficient sur
Se1llance wflDn a fire could get such
start without being detected by the
guard.
Representative Mcleod said that
not only members of Congress, but
| many other people have urged him
to see that proper protection is az
forded for the disabled soldiers in
the future. He said that he is con-
WINGED Congress should make a
thorough investigation of the Walter
Reed fire without any delay and that
he will endeavor to get quick action
upon his resolution :
