Captain Heads Fire Fighters
There was little or no grumbling on
the part OF the passengers, as they
realized that il was fortunate for every
one that the fire was discovered before
the Nieuw Amsterdam was well on her
way on the Atlantic.
Few fires along the water front have
been fought with more persistency
than the hold blaze on the Nieuw Am
sterdam. Throughout the FIVE hours Of
the combat frcmen and officers Of the
ship were frequently overcome. and
after being revived went back into the
smoky pit where they had been bowled
over.
Captain Peter Van der Heuvel, mas
ter of the vessel. dofFed his immacu-
late uniform, and with dungaree
trousers and a mcshed undershirt went
into the thick Of the combat, giving di-
rections and informing the freight
ers of the lay OF the hold. He stuck
to the job until the fire was under
control, and even then seemed reluc-
tant 10 quit for dinner
While the hold was filled chiefly with
ships stores, the skipper said, there
also was some grain stored there, and
II was from the roasting cereal that
much of the depressing fumes came.
When a call for help was sent to
New York the freboat Duane steamed
over 10 Hoboken and her men made a
survey of the situation. They piled
aboard the vessel and put several lines
Of hose into the hold. and fed the ves-
sci so much water that she settled n
trife in the after section. The men
or the Duane worked so hard that they
we're exhausted, and reserves were
brought over on another freboat, who
then manned the streams on the
Duane.
Rudolph Van Erb. chief officer. was
the one who discovered the fire. When
he observed smoke popping out in small
Jets from the hold he ordered the
coverings ripped of and went in him
self TO fight il with a hand extin-
guisher. lie did not realize the size
OF the fire and was soon overcome. A
search was made for him by men of his

Despite the intensity OF the heat and

OF them wore masks, but for all that
they were overcome.
A conspicuous figure on the Nieuw

THEY'RE ALL GOOD
WHEN DEMPSEY'S
NOT PRESENT
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

NEW YORK, March s.--When one
William Harrison Dempsey isn't with
in swinging distance, most of the next
underheavies win stop him" any
time they get couple of listeners.
Bill Brennan has been knocked out
twice by the champion but he contends
he was the victim of aE accident twice
and that the third time the accident
will bounce back on Dempsey.
Acting on advice, Harry Wills ism t
saying anything but lie has plenty OF
mouthpieces who will picture Dempsey
on the floor in about three rounds.
Even Harry Greb will whip the
heavyweight king twice day if he
gets an audience. According to Greb
he whipped the champion so badly
when he was acting as his sparring
partner before the Brennan fight that
Dempsey viii hardly speak to him now.
After spending large parts of many
days listening to Dempsey downfall,
it is unusual to find one contender who
says he is not the superior of the
champion.
Tom Gibbons who fights Greb here
next Monday night, is the freak he
saws that Dempsey is the greatest
heavyweight in the ring and that he
doesn t want anything TO do with him
for at least year. Later on but not
now he says.

Mr.. Weir s platform is simple and

should be that which is demanded in a
private enterprise. Mr.. Weir has been
a business man and has made SUCCESS
on his own resources and brought to

efforts. From this experience, he says
