POOR SWIMMER
LOSES HIS LIFE
Ventured Out Too Far and
Sank--Dead When Body
Was Found
HAD EATEN HEAVY MEAL
Body Recovered Some Time
Later Was Samuel Stein
er, of Elizabeth

The list of drownngs in local
waters for the current season was
increased by one yesterday after
noon when another fatality occurred
at Sewaren. Samuel Steiner, nine
teen-year-o boy who lived at 500
Second avenue, Elizabeth. lost his
life while bathing in the river mid
way between Sewaren Beach and
: Acker's Beach.
The young man is declared to
have been a poor swimmer who was
overconfident of his powers. He
ventured out beyond his depth and
was seized with an attack of some
sort and was unable to make his
way ashore.
1t is said that Steiner had eaten
a heavy meal just before going into
the water and to this fact is attribut-
ed the drowning. Persons who wit
messed the accident said it looked
MS though the boy were suddenly
doubled up with cramps.
Steiner was swimming with sever
al other men from Elizabeth who
had come down late in the after
noon, presumably directly from their
places of employment. When it was
seen that the lad was in distress
his companions went Immediately
to the rescue but Steiner sank be-
meath the surface before help ar
rived.
Additional aid was procured from
the nearby beaches and a search for
the body was started. Fifteen min
utes of diving were necessary before
the boy was brought ashore and eff
forts to revive him proved fruitless,
The body was recovered about 4:30
o'clock.
Persons at the scene notified the
coroner when it was certain that
Steiner was dead and Undertaken
Robert A. Hirner. of Woodbridge,
was instructed to remove the body
to his morgue. Relatives Of the vic
tim were informed of the drowning
and came Immediately to Wood
bridge.
Funeral services will be held from
the late home of the drowned boy
in Elizabeth.

Conditions In Europe
Get Worse, Col. House
Says; Blan,es America
BY MILTON BRONNER

LONDON. Aug. 30.-"Europe is
in worse condition now than II was
last year"
That is the judgment of Colonel
L. NJ. House. one-time unofficial am
bassador to Europe. He has made
an all-summer study of what he
terms "a very sick patient"
"And there is no sure cure. no
panacea, no patent cure-all, he
said.
The blame. he says. rests largely
on Americas policy of aloofness.
1T is not very easy to be opti-
mistic about sick Europes condi
ton" said Colouel House. in an in
terview with NEA Service, when
one considers the chaos Of Russia,
the hopeless despair of Austria, the
collapse of the German mark, and
tho apparent drifting apart of
France and England over German
reparation payments.
Frances position is understands
BILE. More than any other nation
she needs two things-cash and
safety. Vast sums are needed TO le-
pair war damage to territory, which
she alone has had to endure.
'And France alone looks acr, SIS
an imaginary boundary line, face
to face with a Germany she fears
with her ever-growing population,
industrious workmen, her factories
and farms intact. France fears a
Germany bent on war of revenge.
Things would have been differ
ent for France for Germany and for
the world at large if the United
States and Britain had lonored the
signatures of their representative s.
France would have been free from
fears if these two nations had sighed
the pact guaranteeing her from
German aggression. She would have
been in a different frame of mind
about German reparations. AS it is,
she feels that she cannot reduce the
size of her army, expensive as it is, y
Colonel House declared that Ger
many's most statesman and
farsighted men of affairs told him
last year how much they regretted
that America and England did not
sign the pact to protect France
"These Germans felt that such
pact would have eased the situation
between Germany and France" he
said, that it would have led to a
quicker restoration of Europe"

ton Here in Commemora-
ton of British Mandate

der the direction of the Mizrachi Or
ganization Of Perth Amboy ard was
most successful from every stand
point.
Followers of the Zionist move
ment in this city taxed the capacity
of the synagogue to the limit and
those present were rewarded by a
series of able addresses of congratu-
lation and inspiration to further ef-
forts to achieve the Jewish ideal
of a free home land
The meeting opened with the
singing of America" and "Hatik-
vah." The first speaker was Rabbi
RabinowitZ, of this city. who took
The Significance of the Celebra-
tion" as his topic. He was followed
by Rabbi Eugene Kohn who stressed
the fact that the work is ;-t.ll in It's
infancy and much remains to be
done before the object of the work
will be attained He explained Ne
great importance of the Keren
Hayesod to successful completion
of the Zionist program ard urged
immediate payment of all pledges to
the fund.
The next speaker was Dr. Meyer
Waxman. of New York, general sec
retary of the Mizrachi organization
of America. DIR. WaXman address
ed the gathering on the meaning OF
the Palestine mandate and its posi-
bilities. Rabbi NJ. Magnes, also OF

school, under the direction of their
instructor. r. S. Chain, entertained
between addresses. Mr.. Haksch was

vded music for the event. Boy
Scouts under Scoutmaster j. Cold

ling the large crowd.

ton of the meeting the gathering
adjourned to the auditorium of the
synagogue where refreshments We're
served. Rev. Fl. l.. Chain rendered

Still IN FEAR
Of BONUS VETO
Big Question is Pres. Hard
ing'S Attitude on Foreign
Debt Feature
SENATORS ARE HOPEFUL
Both Sides Are Confident in
Controversy--ACti Likely
in Short Time
SENATORS ARE HOPEFUL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The big
question today in the minds of the
friends of the bonus was whether
the senate provision FOR paying it
out of the interest on the foreign
debt, would put it beyond the risk
of presidential veto. Most of them
appeared more hopeful, put foes OF
the measure seemed undtsturbed.
Proponents recalled that the
President suggested to the members
of the ways and means committee
earlier in the year. that the House
defer action for time in the eX-
pectation that interest payment from
Great Britain would begin to come
in.
On the other hand, foes pointed
out, that from the first the execu-
tive had been insistent that the
financing of the bonus snouid not be
made dependent upon returns from
the foreign debts until they were
actually in hand.
Bv vote of 43 to 26 the McNary
land settlement amendment was
adopted. 1t appropriates $S50,OO0.-
40 for expenditure in works OF re-
clamat ton. The lands redeemed VIII
be made available for settiement by
veterans. No taxation provision is
made for raising the FUNDS appro-
priated for the purpose of making
the amendm ent effective.
Without a roll call the Simmons
amendment making bonus payments
a first charge on the interest due
from foreign war loans was added
to the McCumber bill. The proVl-
sion for the issuance of Treasury
certificates of Indebtedness to pro-
duce funds until interest payments
begin was eliminated.
President Harding repeatedly has
declared that he will veto any Bonus
Bill that does not bring in revenues
to meet it's own requirements. This
applies in full force to the McNary
amendment, which directs the Treas
ury to pay out $3.50, 0,000,00O without
any taxation 10 meet the added drain
1t was noted in the vote on the
McNary recla nation plan that Bo-
rab. Pepper and all the 'eadlns op-
moments of bonus accepted the op-
portunity to make the measure as
distasteful as possible to the Presl-
don't The same course WAS followed
in adopting the Simmons amend
ment. ,,,a
Assurances were handed arouho
this afternoon that the McNary'
Simmons and other obJectlChaoie
provisions. if added, will be eh1nlhat-
ed in conference.
