Government Refuses
Relief to Injured
Helena Mail Carrier

Helena. May 5.-The government
denies it's liability in the case Of Fl.
Frank Adkins. who was forced to resign
as a letter carrier after IS years of
service in Helena, the resignation be-
ing requested because he was incapaci-
tated for duty from injuries received
in a runaway.
Mr.. Adkins has a letter from Sena-
tor Walsh, who introduced a bill for
Mr.. Adkins relief, that the postoffice
department refuses to approve the
claim and consequently the senate COM
mittee on claims will not report the
bill f~avorably. The department does
not admit its responsibility and con
tends that to sanction the claim would
establish a precedent that would open
thousands of similar claims.
On December 20, 1913. Mr.. Adkins
was injured while OIL duty when his
horse ran away and dashed the wagon
into a post. He was sick for months
and when he returned to work he was
unable to stand the strain of carrying
mail. The department asked him to
resign.
For several years he has been op-
orator at the federal building elevator
here under a temporary appointment

ENGINEERING COST
IN HILL COUNTY
HOLD LOW RECORD
Edy Commends Officials on
Low Expense of Preliminary
Work on Highways.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Havre, May ga letter commencing
the engineering work done on the high
way in Hill county aud stating that IN
no county in Montana have engineer
ing costs been so low, was received
BY commissioners of Hill county yes
terday from j. N. Edy, chief engineer
of the state highway commission with
headquarters in Helena.
e. ]. Dorreen has been in charge Of
engineer work in this district and has
been given constant help and support
by the county commissioners and q. Il.
Bowery, road supervisor.
Costs Only 20 Per Cent
Usually engineering costs are a
large part of the highway expenditure
and in many instances have been Z per
cent or more of the total cost of con-
struction. In the construction of prof
ect. 95C in Hill county the engineering
cost has been only 20 per cent Of the
total cost and Mr.. Dorreen believes
that this cost will be brought even
lower. 9
Chief Engineer Edy said, II am to-
day writing our district engineers and
contractors, referring to a number of
cases Wnero the construction engineer
ing cost is excessive; and it is a de-
cided pleasure to note that the cost of
construction engineering on this prof.
ect built under Mr.. Dorreen's direction
by Hill county appears to be lower
than any other which the department
has supervised.
May Stand as Record
IT observe that approximately $685.
600 worth of work remains to be per-
formed on this project which means
average monthly earnings of about
$4,000 for the remainder Of the pres
ent construction season. l hope the
county commissioners will make use of
such force and equipment as will bring
about the completion of this work dur
ing the present season in which event,
l am reasonably sure, it will stand as
a record for low cost of supervision"

body the banks of the river were care fully searched, also with no results. Shelter was then found in a deserted cabin until daylight when the search was continued further, but unable to find any trace of the body the men re- turned to Nome. Three surfmen, one of whom was member of the first search party made another search of the beach from Snake to Penny rivers in the hope that the body had washed ashore, but again failure was the re- suit
 Since then surfmen have maintained a constant patrol of the beach be- tween Snake and Penny rivers hoping that some trace may be found, but at the time of going to press, search has been unsuccessful.
 D. Andrews was a Greek, aged 43 years, and had been in the Nome dis trict for many years. In the summer time he would work at any thing of fered and thereby accumulate enough to enable him to again start out and prospect his property. He was a typl- cal prospector, true Alaskan.

MAN DR0WNS
 ON TRIP TO
 PENNY RIVER

D. Gim) Andrews, we'll known to Nomeites, through his having been an active prospector in this section for many years, was recently drowned while crossing Penny river.
 Andrews and his partner Jim Efs- datheu, both Greeks, left Nome one Sunday night for their claim between Cripple river and Rodney creek to / work on a ditch being constructed by them
 The following night both men left their cabin on Rodney creek intend ing to return to Nome. They crossed Cripple river in a skiff and walked to Penny river where they were unable to find any craft to take them across. Andrews, who wore rubber boots of fered to carry Efsdatheu across on his back but his offer was refused as Efs- dautheu was afraid to venture and further realized that Andrews was un- able to swim.
 Efsdatheu took off his shoes and intended to wade alone, in the mean time Andrews started across, got into deep water and disappeared from sight. By this time it had become quite dark and Efsdatheu called and searched, but was unable to hear or find any trace of the missing man, and so returned to his cabin on Cripple river. The point at which the accl- dent occurred was about three hun dred feet from the mouth of the river and the water was much deeper than usual
 At six o'clock the next morning Efs datheu started out again for Penny river, seeking traces of his missing rartner, but with no success. He then crossed the river at a higher point and continued to hunt for An drews with the same result as before; nothing could be found. Accordingly he came to Nome and notified ThOs. A. Ross of the Coast Guard Service. MT. Ross immediately dispatched four surfmen to patrol the beach from Snake to Penny rivers in hopes that the body could be found. They left the station at 6:16 p. m. with a team of horses supplied them by w. J. Rowe, and while one man drove the team the other three walked along the beach.

BIG OIL TANK
 SPRINGS LEAK
 AT GOLD FIELDS

Sunday evening, September 17th, about nine o'clock employees of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields, en- | ployed at the former Associated Oil tank on Dry Creek, discovered that oil was trickling from the big tank, says the Nome Nugget.
 w. J. Rowe was ordered to send out men, horses and scrapers to stem the flow of oil. Gathering up all available men and equipment Rowe hastened to the scene of trouble. The light company was telephoned to string lines and lamps to enable the force to work quickly and without diff ficulty, feat which Tom Kohanik ac- complished in a few minutes and the entire scene was properly illuminated.
 Men with horses and scrapers pro- ceeded to build a dirt dam to en- close the escaping oil, which was is- suing in two well defined streams, and by eleven o'clock the oil had formed good sized lake. The leaks made their appearance on the north and down-hill side of the tank, escaping through the soft earth beneath the large structure.
 Engineer Edwards, assisted by MT. German, was in charge of the situa tion and sent out to the various com pany camps and stations for equip ment An oil pump was brought from the tundra oil station and connected with the small oil tank at the main sta tion. As quickly as the proper connec- tions were made the leaking oil was pumped from the lake to the tank. Meanwhile the man line from the tank out and an attempt made to pump or draw back the oil into the smaller tundra tanks. This was found i'm practical, due to the fact that the oil was too cold. Then the pump station at the Associated Oil tank was em- ployed to pump the oil. Within f." hours this was accomplished; the tun- dra tanks filled and the Nome Flee tric Light & Power tank also filled. This left considerable oil remaining in the main tank As the Bourbon Power plant possesses a tank suffi- ciently large to accommodate the ro- maining oil this will be used to com plete emptying the leaking container.

THE UKRAINIAN CHORUS

Saturday evening the Ukrainian Ma
tional Chorus, conducted by Prof.
Alexander Koshetz. gave the most
wonderful concert heard by TopeRanS
in the history of the city.
Some of the tonal effects and eli
makes left one gasping with wonder.
Dressed in their native costumes, the
members of this organization made an
impression long to be remembered be-
cause of its colorful quaintness. The
soloists have beautiful voices and their
singing seems to be so natural to them
that it shows no trace OF effort and
the sweetness of their tones is last
ingly caressing.
Conductor Koshetz has most re-
markable ability to drew from his
chorus uniform graduation of tone
and correct phrasinE.
L believe the bass section in this
chorus is the most wonderful ever as
sembfed anywhere. They could take
tones incredibly low and hum or sing
them with ease and never failing uni
formity of tone.
At times it seemed to me as tho they
portrayed thu lyric effect of violins,
flutes, and clarinets because of the
magnificent ensemble of the soprano,
alto and tenor sections. Then again it
seemed as tho one listened to a great
organ.
Some of the haunting strains they
hummed made one feel as tho it were
the cutlery of one big heart laden with
sorrow. Again the crescendi and
throbbing pulse of this human SYM
riony pictured before the minds eye
the living warmth and beauty of ma
ture in all her richness.
A couple of times they seemed to
picture a vast expanse with q stark
naked loneliness of an endless desert.
When they hummed the little lullaby
in which one of the sopranos took a
1 solo part, I believe I listened to the
sweestest music I have ever been
privileged to hear. That soprano
voice was natural, sweet, soothing and
L believe every tone came from her
| heartfelt love for what she was sing
| ing.
Nine. Nina Koshetz. dramatic So
prano, has great voice and almost
overpowering dramatic ability. She
was exceedingly graceful about en-
! cores which were insistently demand
| ed by her captivated audience.
The whole concert was one of I'M
excel1ed perfection ana wherever this
wonderful chorus sings they will draw
the hearts of their hearers closer to
| their suffering country.

NEwBERRY GIVES UP THE FIGHT
Says Situation Renders Futile His
Further Service in Senate.

Washington. Nov. 20.-The resigna-
| ton of Senator Truman H. Newberry,
| of Michigan, the central figure of a
| long and bitter controversy, will be-
come effective tomorrow. Vice Presi-
dent Coolidge was unable at todayS
| brief session to present Senator New
! Michigan senator's name remained
temporarily on the rolls.
| Forwarded to Governor Groesbeck
| of Michigan under date Of November
| ID, MF. Newberry's letter of resignR-
| ton. requesting it become effective
| Immediately, was made public here
| last night after copy had been trans
/ mitted to Vice President Coolidge with
the request that it be read into the
senate record as soon as possible.
| Altho declaring in a review of the
| long and bitter controversy over his
right to a place in the senate since
his election over Henry Ford, his Dem
ocrat opponent, four years ago, that
this right had been fully confirmed"
| Mr.. Newberry in his letter said he had
/ been impelled to retire from that body
because of the defeat of his Republic
can colleague, Senator Townsend, in
the November 2 election.
At the same time, in discussing the
controversy in its relation to the cam
paign just closed. during which it
was an issue in many states, Mr.. New
| berry expressed the conviction that
"a fair analysis of the vote in Michi-
gan and other states where friends
and political enemies alike have suf-
fered defeat, will demonstrate that a
general feeling of unrest was mainly
responsible"
The present situation. he said, rem
dered futile his further service in
the senate since it meant he would
continue to be hampered by partisan
political persecution" Should future
opportunity present itself, Mr.. New
berry added, he would not hesitate to
offer himself to his state and country
Before the case passed as an issue
in the recent campaign, the senate
had upheld Mr.. Newberry's title to a
seat by a margin of five votes, but 1t
appeared that the fight was again to
be resumed early in this session OF
