ENGINEER WAS S
HERO Of BLAST
ON OCEAN LINER
Adriatic Reaches Port With
Praise for Crews Action
in Explosion Danger.
BY Universal Service.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE White
Star liner Adriatic, which was shaken
by an explosion in one of her holds
while 700 miles at sea, resulting in
the death Of seven of her crew and
serious injury to several others, ar
rived in New York harbor last night
under her own steam and made fast
to her pier.
Great crowds made up of friends
and relatives Of the 900 passengers,
as well as many merely curious, were
at pier to greet the crippled liner. The
ambulances were waiting to remove
a number of injured persons to hos
pitfalls.
The hero Of the tragedy on the
Adriatic was James e. Corrigan, of
Liverpool, senior second assistant
engineer, who, defying the warning
of his mates, rushed through the
bulk head door into the furnace of
coal smoke and damp, bringing out
John Donnelly, who was nearly dead.
Corrigan had to be revived after
he staggered back into the fire room
Of the liner with the unconscious
form Of DonnelIy.
He was one OF my men. and I
couldn't leave him in there" was
Corrigan's only comment on his he.
roic act.
Last night Donnelly was taken
still unconscious from the ship In an
ambulance, DIR. G. G. Fleming, chief
surgeon, held out little hope for his
recovery.
Capt. f. v. David, r. D., com.
mander of the Adriatic. who received
from passengers a testimonial for his
handling Of the situation after the
explosion, added his appreciation Of
the bravery Of Corrigan.

Ign on Armistiee Day, November IL
0inee the war, the work of this great
organization has developed particular.
y along the lines of Home Service
and Social Welfare, and plans for the
coming year provide for the eontin.
mng and extending of this service in
the most effective way. An idea of
the splendid work done by our chap
ter during the past year is given in
the following summary by tho chap
ter secretary.
Since October l, 1921, 7S6 ex-service
men have been assisted; 1857 confer
ences and interviews have been had:
1888 letters written to and for ex-
service men; 38 new compensation

$4,000. Twenty-Five Christmas boxes
were packed and sent to disabled ex-
service men in hospitals whose homes
were in this chapters territory.
The reports for the social welfare
nurse for the past year show 855 civ
ilian cases handled, 1920 conferences
and interviews; 1918 visits, including
visits to homes and hospitals. APT
letters have been written. 229 fam
lilies in the counties of Idaho, Lewis
and Nez Perce received clothing, food
and sick room supplies. Donations
OF used clothing have saved dollars
for the Red Cross, and many children
have been kept dry and warm and en-.
abled to attend school through the use
of such clothing.
AS has been the custom, the annual
membership fee win be $1.00; con-
tributing membership fee $500, and
sustaining fee $1,000. Only soc
Of each membership goes to the sup
port of the Red Cross outside of the
chapter; the remainder being used en-
tirely for the needs of our own com
nunities. Our chapter has been rec
ognized nationally as one of the most
effective in the country, and our peo-
pie are urged to give their generous
support this year.

The most favorable impression
made on this community by any pol
itieal speaker in long time was that
gained by George W. Waters, Demo
cratic candidate for congress for this
district, when he and Elmer Thomp-
son, candidate for lieutenantgovern-
or on the same ticket, addressed n
crowd of our citizens in the Temple
Theatre here last Thursday night
| Mr.. Thompson opened the program
with an address on state issues,
wherein he used in liberal quantities.
excerps and figures from the state
records to provee his charges Of ex-
cesses under the Davis cabinet system
of government which are proving hur-
densome to the taxpayers.
| Mr.. Waters is large man. Large
fits him all over He is not the type
one would expect any small thing of.
! While his address was not polished, IL
was easy to see that little exper
fence in this line would place him in
the oratorical class, for he has the
voice and ready vocabulary. 1t was
the sincerity of the man that appealed
strongest, however; and he also gave
the impression that he has habit of
getting what he goes after. He Is
after a seat in congress right now,
an diff he can meet a sufficient number
of the voters in the district, he will
about get it. He is a farmer who has
gained what he has in the world
through his efforts as a farmer. II
he goes to congress he will intelligent
ly and fairly represent the farmers as
we'll as the other business interests of
the district.
Following an introductory state
ment of his position on governmental
affairs, he went at length into the de-
merits of tbs now famous Huose
Bill No. IT." A measure fathered by
G ngressman French and passed
through both houses of congress and
only stopped on its career of becoming
law by mighty protest sent in
from hundreds ef farmers and bust
ness men from south Idaho Just in
time to head off it's being signed by
the President. 1t was pointed out in
the speakers explanation that the
bill contained "stinger, which Pc
culiarity was discovered in the nick
of time through the disclosures of one
of the parties who was to have been
large beneficiary through its pas
sage. This party is Charles LeMoyne,
an extensive sheep raiser Of the south
part of the state, and the affidavit he
made relative to the plans and act
ivities leading up to the enactment OK
this bill was read by Mr.. Waters as q
part Of his expose of the case. The
bill provides for the exchange Of Ger.
tain lands in the forest reserve for
other unreserved government land,
non,irrigable and not suitable for tho
raising of agricultural crops except
grass; through the enactment OF
which bill, it was contended by tho
protestees smaller farmers and stock
men of South Idaho might suffer
great hardship in the possible loss OF
water privileges.
In summing up the matter, Mr. Wa
ters said: "If this was good meas
ure, as its supporters claim it is, why
didn't they go ahead and let the
president sign itf"
