HARVARD BOYS
FOOL STUNT ON
MT WASHINGTON
Ill-Equipped Trio in
Hazardous Climb
to Summit
Safe Return After Two Days Struu
Sle-Sufferins from Exposure and
Lack of Food-Few Cakes Choco-
late Only Food-BIizzard at Noun
tain's Top on Arrival

Fabyan ~ r., Dec Sl--(By the
Associated Press)-The three Har-i
ward students who had been missing
since they started to climb Mount
Washington on Wednesday morning,
returned to the base station of the
Mount Washington railway tonight.
They were suffering. from exposure
and lack of food, but it is believed
that none was in a serious condition
one of the students. Emmanuel S.
Cook of Duluth, Mimi. was so ex-
hausted that he was carried for u
part of the way by the others, Max
Goldberg of Chicago and Ben Schein-
man of Detroit. Tho caretaker at,
the station gave them food AMI
shelter for the night, as it was i'm
possible for them in the darkness
and snow to reach the nearest hotel
Or habitation. several miles distant.
When tho young men had thorough
~ warmed themselves by the roaring
wood fire in the station stove and
had eaten their first meal since We'd
nesday, they were able 10 give the
caretaker brief account OF their ex-
periences. They said that with their
ice-creepers they had little difficulty
in working their way up the noun
tain over the ties and trestles Of the
cog-railway. When they reached the
top. however. a blizzard suddenly
swept over the upper part of the
mountain. They sought shelter in the
Summit House, but found no food
there. AS they had expected to make
an immediate return they had taken
with them only few cakes of cho-
colate.
They spent the night in the Summit
House. Yesterday. although the
weather was better. they found the
upper stretch of the railroad so
covered with SNOW that they did not
dare to venture along it. They de-
cided to wait over another night in
the hope either that conditions would
improve or searching party would
reach them.
Today, however. as no one had APP
peared. they started down the noun
tain. They were unable to keep to
the railway and efter time they lost
their way. Wandering about in the.
forest they finally hit upon the Am
monoosuc trail and followed il as
we'll as they could until they came
TO a river bed which brought them
back to trestle of the railway, and
from there they easily found then.
way to the Base Station For 4 part
of the way they had to crawl on
hands and knees and at several points
they slid down over icy lodges into
ravines. At one point they stopped
for time and built a brush fire, but
it went out and they had no more
matches.
Lucien Strauss Of Cincinnati. an
other Harvard student. who started
with the three but soon turned back.
said tonight that he believed they
would be able to return to Cambridge
In few days. Strauss had just ots
ganized two searching parties when
he received word that the men were
safe. -

Washington, Dec. S1--The old year
closed in the House tonight with d
flood OF talk on the ups and downs
of Muscle Shoals.
Working through to the eve of the
New Year, discussing a $40. 200, 900 ap-
preparation for completion OF the Will
son dam, part of the government 5
big war time nitrate project, the
House adjourned with lines sharply
drawn for fresh fight Monday and
a determination on the part of the
Republicans opposing further aid
not to yield, even in the face of a
cry of sectionalism.
All day long the dam project was
bitterly attacked and warmly defend

man Graham of the Investigating
committee which went over the
ground. TO turn loose the guns upon
the. little Alabama settlement into
which he declared there had been
dumped enough money to erect half
of the public buildings in Washing

The other side of the picture was
presented by Representative Garrett
OF Tennessee, also a member of the
investigating body who pleaded for
funds with which to go ahead with
construction Of the dam, which is
named for the President, and which
ne insisted would be vital cog in
the American machinery of war"
Fs'File charge by Mr. Garrett that the
people of the South could see in the
opposition to the measure nothing ex-
c@pt sectionalism was vigorously de-
med by Chairman Graham, who said
a dam like that row being construct
ed IN the Tennessee river never had
been built in the history of the world
and probably never would be.
from the proposal advanced by
Southern representatives that the
House put into the sunGry civil bin
the $4,000, 900 stricken out by the
committee, the debate jumped from
the dam itself to nitrate plants two
miles away, involving the policy of

Mr. Graham asserted that Congress

Suitcases Sure Of
 Big Sale If This
 Decision Is Sound

Of interest to local owners of suit cases and cellars is the decision re gently handed down by the United States district court in San Francisco, to the effect that suitcases may not be searched for alcoholic contents with out warrant The decision was occa- stoned by the arrest of George F. Bar hard, in whose suitcase the police claimed to have found brandy In dis missing the case the court ruled that suitcases should not be searched with out a warrant. Bernard accordingly departed with his suitcase and also all the alcoholic evidence in the case. It is believed the decision will stimulate the sale of suitcases, and, as it is sup posed to apply to cellars as well. will cause home owners to put the under portion of the house to more constant use.
