DOG SENT ADRLFT ON ICE
MAKES GOOD MOVIE HERO
Little Billy, His Owner, Fails in His Role of Rescues,
but Impromptu Demonstration Brings Terry
Into Play With Thrilling Finale.

The cake OF ice bearing lgnatz toward
a watery grave bobbed about on the
Hudson until 1t reached midstream and
then it turned and headed south. But
just as ii started toward the Battery
and the Atlantic Ocean the ferryboat
Edgewater, bound for the Jersey shore,
crossed it's path and First Mate George
Barry saw the dog. The dog saw the
boat ard began yowling and Barry in
formed the captain.
"A scene from a movie on the port
bow" Barry reported.
The captain looked about and saw
lgnatz. and Ignatz feebly wagged his
tail. The dog looked so much like one
that his boy had at home that the cap
tain decided to rescue him. lie navi-
gated the boat toward the dog but the
wash of the craft pushed Ignatz farther
and farther away. Passengers crowded
the rails and cheered Ignatz, who re-
sponded with feeble banks and indus
trious tail wagging. Finally, after start
ing and reversing the boat half dozen
times, il was brought alongside Ignatz
and the ships quartermaster went over
the side on a rope ladder to make the
rescue.
But the boat jiggled and the quarter
master fell into the river. A deckhand
promptly leaned over and shared Vul-
nerable portion of his clothing with a
boathook and then mannuvred the quar-
termaster about until he could drag Ig-
natz from the cake of Ice. Then quar-
termaster and Ignatz were hauled
aboard, sent to the engine room to thaw
out, the captain footed the whistle in
triumph and the Edgewater went on
her way.
The last heard of Ignatz he was kiss
ing everybody's hand and shifting from
a cold In the head.

The alleged wireless appeal on
Wednesday of the freighter Cannonier

from Capt. Nicoai on Monday saying
that he was in hurricane and drifting

Billy McCinnis. who is , years old and
fun of ideas. spent most of yesterday
afternoon sitting on the docks at 129th
street telling some of his friends about
a certain celebrated moving picture he
had seen, in which young lady bumps
about on a cake of ice in the middle of
a river. and is finally rescued by the
hero, WHO leaps from cake to cake with
the agility Of a Rocky Mountain goat
ana drags the heroine from a watery
grave, with no other damage than
snifie due TO a cold in the head
It's hot STUFF said Billy. II thought
the guy would drown hisself sure"
Billy's audience didn't believe word
he said. They felt certain that nobody
in the world would be foolish enough to
get on a cake Of ice voluntarily. and
they insisted that if there was such a
young lady the hero would not have
tried to rescue her himself. but would
have summoned the fire department. So
Billy offered 10 prove it, and when none
of his friends would volunteer to embark
in the Hudson on a cake of ice and i'm
personate the heroine, Rilly calmly
seized his dog Ignatz, little brown and
white mutt. and pitched him off the
dock.
Ignatz landed, yowling. on cake OF
ice. and Billy prepared to rescue him.
But before he could find cake large
enough to leap about on, the cake on
which Ignatz crouched in terror began
to float down stream. And then, OF
course. being only little boy. Billy be-
gan to cry. but nobody heard him and
Ignatz continued to vanish down the
river making more noise than the blood
hounds when they chased Eliza across
the Ohio River. and shivering and
trembling in terror.

The increase was voted after a pro- longed discussion on the condition that S1,OOO of,the amount of the increase for two years shall be transferred from the appropriation of 900 allowed the de- partment for veterinary assistance to the salary account of the deputy. f-
 The matter came before the board of control on the favorable report of the board of finance. Attorney General Frank E. Healey said the policy of in- creasing the salary of the deputy on his appointment to an amount greater than that which his predecessor, who had per formed the duties in very satisfac- tory manner was vicious.
 Governor Lake said he would not vote for the increase except on the under standing that it did not add to the eX- | penses of the state and that would be avoided by making a transfer of S1,0Od | from an appropriation for veterinary services to the salary account of the | deputy.
