Rescued From Rock at
Brink of Niagara Falls
Attendants at a Station Hear Mans
Cries for Help and Call Police.

Attendants at Station 1ear WAN
Cries for Help and Call Police.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.-Jeffry
Wilson, OF Rochester, was rescued to-
night from a rock in the Niagara riv-
err less than 200 feet from the brink
of the American falls.
Attendants at a trolley terminal sta
ton near the falls heard cries for help.
They investigated and saw a form
clinging to a rock near the middle OF
the American upper rapids and about
200 feet below Goat island bridge. Po-
lice and hremen were called and ef-
forts were made to reach the man
with extension ladders, but all were
too short. While the fremen were
working from the bridge, Patrolman
Smith waded out into the rapids. Fas-
tened about him was a rope which
was held by Patrol Driver Charles
Radford on the bank. Smith was
caught in the current and swept from
his feet, but regained his footing and
worked his way to a rock a few feet
from that to which Wilson was cling
ing. After a few minutes Wilson made
the leap and the policeman caught
him. The trip back to shore was a
slow struggle. against the swift cur
rent.
Wilson was unable to tell much
about his experience. He said that he
had slipped into the water and denied
that he attempted suicide. River men
say he owes his life to the fact that
the ice formations at the brink of the
falls have temporarily checked the
current.

MISSIONARIES SAIL
FOR LONELY ISLAND
MAN AND WIFE TO LABOR
IN FLOCK OF 11e IN REMOTE
OCEAN FASTNESS.

The Rev. Henry Martyr Rogers, ac-
companied by his 1o-year-old wife, is
en- route from London to voluntary
exile on Tristan de Cunba, a tiny
speck of land in the middle OF the
South Atlantic ocean, where a British
garrison was once placed to help keep
Napoleon securely on St. Helena, L.
800 miles to the northeast.
The Rev. and Mrs. Rogers, who are
going as missionaries, upon their ar
rival will find themselves in the midst
of a primitive community where there
are now laws, no government, no
crimes. no sickness and no money.
Here they will labor to improve the
religious and secular condition OF the
11o British subjects of polygot origin
who live there.
Removed From Trade Route.
The Christian missionaries sought
for a year for means OF Transports
ton to Tristan. The island, which is
the destination of the couple, hes
with two sister isles far from regular
trade routes.
The Rogers are carrying an elabor-
ate equipment, including two-room
portable house and a years supply OF
food. Tristan, their destination, con-
tains 10 square miles, rises 7,o40 feet
above the waves, with its extinct vol
cano bearing cap of perpetual SHOWS.
Away back in 1910 Britisher nam
ed Thomas Currie became the first
permanent settler, and in the same
wear he was followed by Jonathan
Lambert of Salem, and a companion
named Williams. Upon his arrival
Lambert proclaimed himself king OF
what he renamed the Isles OF Re
freshment.
Two years later he and Williams
were drowned while fishing, and Tor
several years the three small islands
were used as a base of operations by
American privateers preying upon
British commerce. In 1916 they were
formally annexed to Great Britain.
Exiles Took Colored Wives.
Following Napoleon's death the
British garrison was removed, but a
corporal, with his wife and two chill
dren and two other men, elected to
remain. Shipwrecked mariners swelled
the colony, and finally FIVE colored
women from ST. Helena were brought
over as their wives. Thus the settle
ment grew, until now the population
is a curious mixture of Anglo axons,
Asiatics, Dutchmen, Italians, Portu-
guese, Hottentots and Africans

REPUBLICAN NJ. c.
HITS MODERN TYPE
OF "BLIND TIGER''

Discussing the product that MADE
his home town of Milwaukee famous,
Representative Stafford, republican.
of Wisconsin, took fling at Vol
steadism in the House yesterday. He
confessed openly that while in the
old days he enjoyed a glass OF beer
he did not dare look blind tiger in
the face nowadays for fear of being
poisoned.
The bill relating to alleys in the
District of Columbia was up. and
somebody had asked about blind IL
gers.
''Once upon a time / did not have
any acquaintance with those partic-
ular deniZens of the jungle said
Mr.. Stafford, but since the incoming
of the illiberai, narrow, intolerant
Volstead bill that takes away my lib
critics SO that can no longer 1ndWge

didn't finish.
is quite unacquainted with the town.
interrupted Chairman Focht of the
District committee.
Mr.. Stafford shot back that his own
acquaintance with blind tigers was
not as great as that of the chair
man, and added:
Prior to the reign of Nolsteadism
limited my beverages to beer, good
and wholesome. l cannot honestly
say that to this date that has been
the case. Since the reign of Volsteadr =
ism l am afraid to indulge in blind
tiger stuff because of the numerous
instances of poisoning"
