GALLANT RESCUE
At LAVAL BEACH

To the wonderful pluck and pres
ence of mind displayed by his friend
David Cruickshank, the second engi-
neer at Makaweli, Frank Broland, su-
gar boiler, also of Makaweli, undoub
tedly owes his life. The men, ac-
companied by Charles Hammond,
boy Of fourteen, were bathing at La
wal beach on Sunday the 22nd, and
not understanding the danger, went
out little too far. Diving under
wave they we're caught in the under
tow and Broland was carried into
the current which took him further
and further from shore. Cruick-
shank, knowing that he was only q
beginner at swimming Immediately
swan ashore calling out for rope.
This fortunately was at hand, Mr..
McBryde having one always ready
for the purpose. Cruickshank i'm
mediately fastened 1t around him
self and started out, but soon found
that he could not get on very we'll,
so returned and snatched an inner
tube which one of the children was
wearing and set out again.
By this time, the boy, Charles
Hammond, who had staid by the
drowning man until he could scarce
ly move himself, was coming ashore,
and seeing his exhausted condition
made the people on shore realize
what serious thing was happening
and that Cruickshank, who was only
poor swimmer himself was literal
ly taking his life in his hands. After
a terrific struggle against the waves
he was seen to be getting nearer to
his man, who fortunately kept his
head throughout the terrible strain
Then came a tense moment when
it was seen that the rope was too
short, but here, fortunately some
others arrived to join the picnic par
ty, and James Stackhouse of the
U. S. Engineers, Lihue, took the end
of the rope and went in far enough
to give Cruickshank enough way to
reach the drowning man. This he
did just in time and even then had
it not been for the tube keeping
them afloat it would have gone
badly with them, for one was almost
drowned and the other exhausted.
They were slowly hauled in under
the guidance of Alexander McBryde
who directed when to haul and when
to slack, knowledge which meant
that the men were not injured, as
they might easily have beenu had
they been pulled through the waves
by main force.
Both rescuer and rescued served
through the late war. Seeing their
presence of mind under such terrify.
ing circumstances makes one realize
in way the spirit which had taken
them through their war experiences.
Seen on Monday, Frank Broland
said that though feeling just one
big ache all over, he was otherwise
fine. He also said that though he
had been in many tight place, both
in France and the Balkan campaign,
he had never been so nearly gone
before.
David Cruickshank fortunately is
also none the worse for his expert
ence.

reads as follows:

Petitioners Ask Press
Club Inquiry Be Ended

Request Made 10 Referee
Handrick

Former Supreme Court Justice Peter
A. Hendrick, who has been sitting as
referee in the litigation over The af-
fairs of the New York Press Club, was
asked yesterday by the petitioners to
discontinue the proceedings because OF
the expense entailed.
The litigation arose over the system
of solicitation for representation in a
history of the World War, which was
sanctioned by the defendant trustees.
Under this scheme the solicitor re-
ceived 60 per cent Of the proceeds and
the club 40 per cent, although a guar
antee fund of Is per cent was held in
trust by the club pending the publica-
tion of the history. Under this scheme
more than $4,000 was collected in two
years, according to the testimony.
Under the decision of Supreme Court
Justice Tierney the petitioners were
obligated to pay the expenses of the
reference, which was to determine the
truth of the charges contained in the
petition and affidavits which supported
the request that the Supreme Court in
vestigatc the clubs affairs. The petit
TONERS, through II. Francis Dyruff,
their attorney, stated they could no
longer bear the expense of the refer
ence.
Charles NJ Beattc, attorney for the
club, opposed the motion to discontinue
the proceeding. The matter will, be
submitted within ten days to Special
Term, Part I, by Referee Hendrick.

Supreme Court Upllolds Van
Ness Measure; Federal III
qlliry Begins in N. Y. ON
Suddenly Gained Fortunes

Supreme Court Justice Minturn, sit
ting in Trenton, N. j., yesterday up
held the Van Ness state prohibition en-
forcement act, constitutionality of
which had been attacked in 1876 cases
awaiting hearing.
Prohibition law supporters, who re-
gard the decision as victory for en-
forcement, were somewhat disap-
pointed by a clause in tho decision
which holds that search and seizure
can ensuc only on warrant sworn on
personal knowledge This does away
with warrants sworn to on mere sus-
piciOn.
The decision expressly sustains that
provision of the act withholding Jury
trials from alleged violators. The de-
cision. places on the accused burden of
proof that liquor seized does not con
tain an illegal alcoholic content.
The cases argued on appeal were Sc
lected as embracing fundamental fea-
lures of all the others pending.
According to former Attorney Gen
eral Robert II. McCarter, who argued
the cases, there will be an appeal.

9llS III, iSsi, New orA Tribune Inc.
MILAN, Italy, Nov. 26.~-The resig-
nation of Herr Won Beerenherg Gossler.
German Minister to Rome, which was
announced to-day. was not surprising
in view Of the failure of his hopes to
protect Germanys important pre-war
interests in Italy. His last disappoint-
ment came when the Italian govern
ment put into effect its long sus-
pended decision to seize the former
Kaser's splendid villa Falconeri at
Frascati, near Rome. This, following the
governments decree that all remain
ing German property interests must be
auctioned persuaded the minister that
Italy had abandoned any idea of even
leaning toward pro- -Gcrmanism. The
failure of Italy to exercise more pres
sure in the Silesian settlement favor
able to Germany also contributed to
his decision to leave.
To the remonstrance of the Berlin
government that German interests
ought to be better protected, Gossler
is said to have replied: "There are
none left" This is close to the truth,
for the Italian administration of Ger
man industrial concerns has resulted
in reducing to bankruptcy concerns
that formerly were fourishing.
