Nearly Died
From Thirst
Fallon Man Threatened by Death on
the Desert Was Refused Sue
cor by Autoist

According to Milton b. Wilson, of
the Fallon Oil Exchange. party of
three Of which he was a member
passed through a narrowing expert
ence Sunday afternoon when the au-
tomobile in which they were riding
broke down Is miles east of Ber-
| mond's station on Frenchman's Flat
about 35 miles southeast of this city.
Wilson was accompanied on the trip
to mining claim Sunday by A. Nc
Iced, OF Santa Rosa. Calf. and J.
b. Phillips. of this city. The men
are interested in strike in the vi
einity of Mountain Wells. Marooned
on the return trip the three essayed
the walk over the wastes separating
them from Bermond's station The
day was one of the hottest on record
without water the members of the
party suffered all OF the i'll effects of
thirst.
The story is graphically recited by
Wilson who asserts that walking was
soon performed with the utmost diff
ficulty. Only those who have fought
for their lives under scorching sun
in the desert can sense the hardships
through which the men passed.
Wilson and Mcleod finally arrived
at Bermond's at 1880 o'clock at
night, leaving Phillips lying prone on
the desert about two and one-half
miles away. He had fallen and was
unable to regain his feet and his two
companions were too exhausted to
render assistance. The plan was put
forward by Wilson that he and Nc
Leod proceed TO Bermond's station
and get food and drink and return
with car TO assist Phillips to safety.
When they left the stricken man his
mouth and tongue were badly swollen
and he was partially unconscious.
Mr. Wilson asserts that q stranger
the superintendent for a mining
company at Gold Park. had the single
car at the station Sunday night and
after hearing the story of Wilson and
Mcleod, declared against rendering
aid with the laconic statement, "Aw,
leave your companion alone; cooler
now and he'll revive and come on
| in"
The etiquette of the desert was
lightly dismissed by the auto owner
who exhibited total disregard for
the amenities of the desert usual un-
der such circumstances.
But fortune favored Phillips
and the cool of the evening re-
yived the man PROSTATE in the desert
and he arose and staggered in the
direction whence his two companions
had gone. meeting them about mid
night as they returned to render him
aid. He was helped to Bermond's
and treated in a manner usual in
such cases.
Residents OF this city who have
heard Wilson's story are amazed at
the harshness displayed and
wonderment is general that any one
would refuse succor TO a fellow man
lying stricken in the desert. Many
lives have been lost in the arid west
under similar circumstances, yet
the stranger involved enjoys the
unique distinction of being the only
resident of Nevada on record who re-
fused aid that might have involved
human life as IL struggled TO re-
spond TO the law of self-preservation
and retired to bed while Phillips
half walked and half crawled to the
point where he was found by his COM
| nanions on foot.

Harding Calls U. S.
And Canada World
Example in Peace
Matters Little Under What
Flag One Lives in North
America, He Asserts at
Odd Fellows Anniversary

WASHINGTON, April 26,-The ex-
ample of Canada and the United States
dwelling alongside each other without
fortitications for 100 years was pointed
to as one other nations might emulate
by President Harding in an address at
an Odd Fellows meeting here tonight
in celebration Of the 1O2d anniversary
OF the order.
Such concord might be possible
among other nations, the President
said, if they possessed the same under
standing and singleness of purpose "to
forward the cause of Humankind" The
address was delivered after Joseph
Oliver, of Toronto, grand sire of the
order, had expressed the hope that
Canada and the United States might
for all time continue in the same
amicable relations.
The President. in expressing the
pleasure with which ne said "an
American of the United States" heard
such words from "an American who
halls from Canada" declared that
after all, it little mattered what flag
we owe our allegiance to on the North
HUltI lCdu continent.
81 like above all else" he continued,
"the example of Canada and the United
States dwelling throughout the past
century in peace and under the most
amcable relations, with single pur-
pose to forward the cause of human
kind"
The President further declared he
desired Canada always to look to the
south and to fix it's gaze on the most
representative democracy in the world" Z"
u want Canada to know" ne said,
that she can understand us, and |
want her te give us her trust, because
we are licking the same fundamental |
objects in the onward march of human
kind"
Asserting that no one could belong
to fraternity unless he was devoted
to justice and truth and fidelity, the
President said
Il wish nations might be committee d
to the same fraternal relations" add
ing that "out of fraternity comes un-
derstanding, and if nations possessed
understanding and sought to deal fra
ternaliy with one another they could
dwell together as the United States
and Canada have for more than CEN
tury without Notifications along thou
sands of miles of border"
AS a further fraternal hope. the
PRESIDENT stated he most earnestly de
sired that during his term of Office he
might have the cooperation of ali
Americans in demonstrating to the
world that I'VE want nothing that is NOT
justly and rightly our own

La Toilette Says Wilson
Promised Irish Liberty
British Recruiting Poster Cited
in Plea for Resolution
of RECOGNITION

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The con-
hict in Ireland is merely the old
struggle between Imperialism and ma
tionalism," Senator La Toilette, Re-
publican, Of Wisconsin. declared to-
day in the Senate in continuing to urge
support of his resolution in behalf Of
recognition Of the "Irish republic"
The Wisconsin Senator attacked the
British policy in Ireland as deserving
"thc condemnation of the world" and
with respect to that policy added:
"It is without warrant in law or
morals. 1t is founded on faschood and
greed and unless arrested it can come
t. no issue except the determination of
the Irish people,
Declaring that the British govern
mcnt assured the Irish people of their
independence several times during the
war. Senator La Toilette displayed one
OF the recruiting posters used by the
British, quoting President Wilson as
plcdging the United States "to make
not only the liberties Of America Sc
cure. but the liberties of every other
people as we'll"
Senator Reed. Democrat, Of Missouri,
disputed the Wisconsin Senator's claim
that the pledge" of President Wilson
was binding on the United States.

DevIin DcnOunces
Unionist Purpose
As Secession Only
Declares Craig Political
Bankrupt, With No Cause
i'm Campaign Except to
Lop OFF Ulster Counties

BELFAST, April 26 (By The Asso-
ciatcd Press) Joseph Devlin, who has
returned to Ulster to direct the Ma
tionalst campaign, in an interview to-
day termed tho recent proclamation
issued by Sir James Craig, the Ulster
Unionist leader, as "the greatest cx-
ample Of political bankruptcy | ever
saw" he characterized it as "the
statement of man cropping IN the
dark, not knowing where he is or what
he is there for 1t ia rot a statement
Of policy, only an evasion. He talks
about the Unionists' great cause 1t
is the first duty Of leader to state his
cause. Craig does not tell us what
his cause is unless it is to cut off six
counties from Ireland"
The Ulster Parliament, in Mr.. Dew
Las opinion, will be fiasco 1t will
be faced at the outset. he said, with
the necessity Of taxing the people for
the maintenance of Belfast's $4,000 un-
employed, who arc steadily in crcasing
through the dismissal of thousand
workers weekly from the shipyards.
Pessimistic About Settlement
Regarding the possibility Of set
tlement of the Irish question by negoti-
alton, Mr.. Devlin was extremely pessi-
mistic He did not doubt that Lord
Derby bad come to Ireland with ere
dentials from Premier Lloyd George,
but. he added, "it is apparent from
Lord Derbys own statement Of his
visit that he accomplished nothing"
Commenting on the apathy of the
people here regarding the coming cleo
tions, Mr. Devln remarked: "Belfast
never gets excited when it ought to be
excited"
Asked if he would call on the gov
ernment to safeguard those National
lists who vote in districts from which
they were cvicted during the riot'ng
last summer, Mr.. Devin said caustical-
ly. there is no government here rx-
ccpt rioters in uniform"
Election Riots Feared
On all sides apprehension is ex-
pressed that the elections will be made
the occasion of renewal of the riotiry
which resulted in much bloodshed Lac
summer and autumn. The campa gn
itself probably will be marked by great
bitterness. but, to prevent trouble
to house to house canvassing and IL.
door meetings. 1t is understood that
the military will turn out in laror
force on election day, to prevent dis
turbances as far as possible.
The Natlonalists charge that the
election districts are so gerrymandefe !
that they will be placed at great dis
advantage, and fear that those Ma
tionalists residing in Belfast will be
entirely excluded from representation
in the imperial Parliament

LONDON, April 26 (By The Asso-

Great Britain in furnishing fuel to

The slowing up of French industries,
Mr.. Dennis said to-day, has created a

SIMPLE MATTER OF REASON
How Water Has Travelled From Yer
saiIles to Columbia, Mo-, In Last
Three Centuries.

An old Indian was sitting by camp
fire near the present site of Versailles,
Mo-, back In July. 1908. He was tell
ing story about Louis d. Moscoso,
successor to De Soto, who explored the
southwestern part Of Missouri in 1912.
Sure, Nike" he said. "These hombres
are white, have short hair, carry"
But his sentence was never finished.
About that time 1t began to rain and
the council adjourned to the shelter.
It Is now 312 years since that time, but
the water from that very rain we are
just now getting here In Columbia for
drinking purposes. Don't you believe
It? Well. here is the way they find
such things out. During the war the
army made some tests Of how fast
water moves under the ground. This
was done by digging two wells. plac-
ing some chemicals In one to discolor
the water and then waiting to see how
long before the discoloration became
apparent In the water of the second
well. The layer of sand from which
Columbia secures its water is a me-
dunn sand, neither coarse nor fine, and
1t was found that water moved S45 feet
a year In such sand. The layer Of sand
outcrops at Versailles, which is approx
imately fifty miles from here. Figure

WHEN SIMS GOT IN WRONG
Capitol Barber on Record as Making
Bad Break to the Then SEN
ator Harding.

The odds are 200 to 2 that the SEN
ators will say that Sims is the most
popular barber in the senate barber
shop Sims has the cream of the
senate trade and he has been In the
senate barber shop longer than any
one knows. He has become expert
not only on shaving and cutting hair
and massaging, but on political mat
tiers as well.
When President Harding was still
member of the senate he came In
for Sims to do a little face work on
him. Sims began shortly after the
then senator took the chair, to talk
about the dire effect on the senate
of the Constitutional, amendment pro
viding for direct election of its men,
bers.
why, this direct election is sure
a bad thing" said Sims in Mr.. Har-
ding's ear. "Why, the men who are
here can't be compared with the men
who were here 20 years ago"
Just about this time 1t dawned on
Sims what he was saying and to whom
he was saying IT,
Probably his conscience was stirred
by the fact that Mr.. Harding's face
was getting redder and redder as he
tried to suppress his laughter.
"Oh, indeed, senator" said the
stricken Sims. 81 was speakin' genul-
ly. ! didn't mean nothing pussunal
about it."-Los Angeles Times.

AIR LIFEBoAT BRITISH IDEA
Craft Designed for Sea Rescue Work
Is Soon to Be Given a
Definite "Tryout."

The first llfeboat of the air, which
has been built with great secrecy, is
to be launched soon In England.
After the official trials 1t will go
through a series Of tests with the Brit
fish fleet. If 1t proves to be satisfac-
tory, large number of the craft on a
much larger scale will be constructed.
The design is the outcome of three
years Of secret research and tests. The
flying lifeboat will be able to reach
vessel In distress at a speed of more
than 100 miles an hour, and 1t Is
claimed that it will be able to ride
through the toughest storm with the
confident safety of an Atlantic liner.
The boats are able to taxi along the
water.
Their seaworthiness is to be tested
by sending the first experimental ship
out with the navy. where 1t is to re-
main at sea for several days without
any mother ship"
The wing span of the one now near
ing completion is 40 feet. Safety In
the most violent sea will come from
the residence Of the hull, which is In
one piece from stem to stern. When
this hull strikes huge wave 1t gives
way slightly in much the same way
that a pneumatic tire does when 1t
strikes an obstacle on the road.
