Jacob NJ Small of SIS Upshur street.
a veteran of the world war. was
drowned last evening at Eastport
Beach, near Annapolis. Nd. after
| saving the life of his mother Mrs.
Isadore Small, who had stepped into
a hole few yards off the beach
while in bathing.
The accident was today described
by a sister, Lillian Small. as due to
the laxity with which the beach is
patroled. Miss Small said if there
were any guards at the beach they
did not show themselves while the
young man was trying to save his
| mother. nor did they respond to calls
for help when it was ascertained that
Small had become too exhausted in
saving his mother to save himself.
Beach Full of Holes.
With his father and mother. two
sisters, Lillian and Rose, and friend
of the family. Mrs. Jesse Harris of
Baltimore, Small had motored to East
port Beach for a Sunday afternoon
outing. Late in the afternoon the
party went in bathing. The beach at
this point is treacherous. it is said
and is full of deep holes where bath
ers may at any time go beyond their
depth. Mrs. Small ventured out a little
too far and stepped into a hole be-
yond her depth and sank. She came to
the surface and called for help. her
cries bringing her son Jacob to the
scene. Although he was a fair swim
mer, he just managed to struggle
back to shallow water with his moth
er and then sank under the water
from exhaustion.
His father saw him disappear and
plunged to his assistance. but the un-
dertow had taken him out into deeper
water, and for several minutes a vain
search was made for the body. which
was finally located many yards away
from the spot where he had gone down.
Rescuscitatfon efforts were Immediate
ly resorted to, but without avail
Small was rushed TO Emergency Hos
pital at Annapolis, where physicians
worked over him for hours, but all
efforts to revive him failed
The mother was also taken to the
hospital, where she was prostr< ted
with grief and shock. and was brought
back to Washington this morning A
physician in attendance at her home
today said she would recover
Small was twenty-four years of age,
and worked in his fathers hardware
store at 713 7th street northwest He
was an enlisted man in the ordnance
department during the war.

distinct threat Of martial law. With I
more power to the military and civil
forces Of the empire and one which
Irish leaders say would mean. "iron

cepted by the cabinet
After somewhat Of an extended

Dill emerged In the form In which It
Will be presented to parliament
Thursday, when it is expected II will
without doubt bring about one OF
the most momentous issues submitt-
ed in a dummy" form, as a pre-
liminary tset. to sound out the OPP
inion OF the house.
Bitter Debate in Cabinet.
There was an exceedingly bitter
debate within the cabinet itself
wnen the new bill was first discuss
ed. and 1t was not finally accepted
until those who forced 1t through
agreed to more conciliatory action
as soon as order is restored through
cut Ireland.
The measure. as approved. abolt-
shes the highly farcical trial by
jury" which means nothing in Ire
land under the present court system.
and substitutes a high court under
the presidency Of high court Judge,
who will be assisted by the military
and civil authorities both at Lon
don and Dublin.
Bill Is Very Drastic.
The widest precautionary powers
are granted military authorities for
the prevention Of incipient disorders,
and the civil authorities are backed
to the limit In their rights to dis
pose of cases brought before them.
The bitterest kind Of opposition Is
anticipated when the program comes
UP in commons Thursday. The la
borites and Irish Nationalists will
furnish great deal of the strenu-
GUS attacks on the measure.
On the other hand, the new bill
has enlisted the support of such
conservatives as Lord Robert Cicil
and Herbert H. Asquith, who will
reinforce the coalition strength, on
this one issue.
1t is understood the labor unions
have agreed to permit no strikes as
protests on the new action
To Rest In Peace.
In Downing street circles it is ad-
mitted the immediate result of clap
ping down martial law in Ireland
will be noticeable increase in dis
orders and outrages, but it is felt
that with their new powers the mil
itary and civil forces will soon be
able to wipe out the disturbing tele.
ments, eventually restoring peace.
