Lake, an electrical contractor of Siam
ford, Conn, and two men companions
whose names were not learned, mar
rowly escaped being drowned in Long
Island Sound off this place to-day when
Lakes thirtyfoot cabin launch sprung
a leak.
The men were about mile off Rye
shore when the launch began to leak.
Failing in their attempt to keep il
bailed, they detached small row boat
which they had trailing and, after
putting their valuables in it., aban-
doned the launch.
When half mile from shore the
rowboat capsized in the surf. None
OF the men could swim very we'll. They
clung to the rowboat and shouted for
help. The boat was carried inshore
on strong northeast wind. Their
cries were heard by members of the
American Yacht Club, who went to
their rescue in power boat. The men
were able to leave for their homes af-
ter obtaining dry clothing.

League Here Backs Ford
AS Muscle Shoals Bidder
Letter TO Weeks From Water
Power Men Urges Accept
nnrn re offer

The Water Power League Of Amer
lea, Of lie Nassau Street, has sent =
letter to Secretary Of War Weeks. ask
ing that favorable consideration be
given the application Of Henry Ford
for lease on the plant at Muscle
Shoals, Ala. Altar stating that the
power at Muscle Shoals has been per-
mitted to go to waste, the letter con-
tinues in part:
"Mr. Ford's offer may not be the best
Of which some Of our leading con-
servationists could conceive. Neverthe-
less it seems to be tho only real offer
which has been submitted. Clifford
Pinchot's principal objection to IL
seems to be that Mr.. Ford would get
his power for nothing.
"Tf Mr.. Ford secures the plant 1t will
mean the upbuilding Of vast industries
which do not now exist. 1t will create
pay rolls that will pay for tho develop
ment several times over every year. It
will increase the values Of real estate,
SO that the state will receive infinitely
more benefit than appears on the face
Of Mr.. Ford's offer.'

Hundreds Flee From Fire
Tenement Dwellers Driven Into
Street by 100000 Blaze

Several hundred persons were driven
into the streets from tenements early
yesterday morning by fire, which
destroyed the garage of Smitkin G.
Freeman, at SO Frost Street, Brooklyn,
causing loss of 100000. Streams of
water played upon the adjoining fac
tory of the Modern Cooperate Com
pany, where a large quantity of resin
was stored, and upon the three six
story tenements from 72 to 76 Rich
ardson Street, prevented the flames
from spreading.
Reserves of the Herbert Street,
Bedford Avenue and Greenpoint Ave
nue. stations, under command of Cap
tain John Walling, turned out the resi-.
dents Of the tenements until the fire
was under control. The blaze started
in the rear of the garage from an un-
determined cause. A new night watch
man was unaware of the fire until he
found himself choked and blinded with
smoke. he said.

CARLSBAD. Sept. (By The Asso-

session tonight, at which DR.. Chain
Weizmann, head of the worlds Zionist
organization, concluded with an i'm
passioned defense of the executive com

Detection OF some of the American
Jewry constantly required, and the
general tone was one of unhappiness
that Leading figures in America had
been allowed to become alienated from
the Zionist movement
Isaac Allen, of New York, declared
the delegation from the United States
present at the Congress did not rep
resent the Anne rican Jewry, when such
men as Louis D. Brandes and Louis
Marshall, president of the American
jewish Committee, were absent. Peace
would have been possible, Deputy
Farbstein, said, had not Michael Us
sichkin, chairman of the Zionist Com
mission in Palestine, gone to the
United States and interviewed.
The political report is being much
discussed. 1t adversely criticizes the
British policy in Palestine, saying the
Zionist problem is dominated not bv it's
own merits, but by considerations of a
military character. 1t asserts that the
original military viewpoint was organ

port, "now enter upon new era UNI

expectations placed in the American
