Joseph Zieben, Age 35, Sailor on Hill Line
Steamer Charles McVey, Trips on Deck
and Falls i'm Harbor.
GRABS SAILOR SINKING THIRD TIME
Ecker Age Is, Attracted by Sound of Splash, Rows
Across Bay to Make Second Rescue in Month
$50 Sailor Unable to Swim.

Franck Ecker, surfman Of the Ke-
nosha coast guard, rescued Joseph
Zieben, age SO, from drowning in the
waters of the harbor shortly after
noon Saturday, Zieben, sailor of
the steamer Charles McVey, plunged
headlong into the bay when he tripped
on a rope lying on the steamers deck.
Ecker happened to be standing on
the coast guard dock when his atten-
ton was attracted by the sound of the
splashg At first he thought pail of
water had been thrown overheard. He
CHANGED to look again and saw the
feet of a man thrashing the murky
waters.
Grabbing the oars which stood at
the side of the boathouse he leaped
into the skiff and started across theN
bay, where the drowning man, unable
to swim was putting up a stiff battle
against death. 1t SO happened that
none of the sailors companions were
about and with the exception of Eek
Ter, no one had CHANGED to discover
his plight
Saved on Third Down.
Zieben was going down for the third
time when Ecker pulled the boat
alongside He was fighting furiously
Just under the surface of the water
when the surfman reached down and
caught him by the hair. In attempt
ing to get the man aboard, the boat
was almost swamped. Four times she
shipped several bucketsful of water.
The fifth time, however, the man land
ed in the boat and was taken to
gangway of the steamer.
Eckler's cries for help were heard
by some of the members of the steam
er's crew and the man was taken
aboard where first aid was given him
to get the water out of his lungs He
was then wrapped in warm blankets
and put to bed.
According to Captain William Nc
Cav of the coast guard, the water, at
the point where the man went over
board, is about Is feet deep, while the
distance from the coast guard dock to
the steamer mooring, which Ecker
had to row to reach the man, is lit
tie better than 100 yards.
Dinner Planned for Surfman.
Members of the crew of the McVey,
it is said, are planning dinner in
honor of Ecker, for saving the life of
Zieben. 1t will be given aboard ship
1t was reported today that the man
has completely recovered from the ef-
fects of his ducking and is at work
again.
The steamer McVey is Hill liner
plying between Kenosha and Chicago
with package freight. Zieben's home
is said to be in Chicago.
This rs the second rescue credited
TO Ecker since he went to work as
temporary surfman with the coast
guard about four months ago. The

had witnessed the glass being smashed.
While the police refused to make pub
lie, the name of the witness, they said
that he told them that he had seen a
man answering the description of the
prisoner, smash the second window.
He said that his attention had been
attracted by report of the first win
dow breaking. At first he thought
that it was one of the night watchmen
at an adjoining plant firing at some
one prowling about the premises. He
said that he just happened to glance to-
ward the meat market as the second
window shattered.
Then he saw the manPrun and dis
appear through the alley. He said that
he was not near enough to the scene
to give an accurate description of the
wrecker, but that the heighth Tailed

evidence of the predatory and de-
structive habits of the crow. We
visited a part of this island which
evidently was not frequented by
human beings in the spring. and
summer season. We detected egg
shells broken by crows everywhere
In one place $50 broken egg shells
were found under bushes close to-
woods near salt water marsh. AT
another place, the nest of tish
crow was located in large pine
tree fully forty feet above the
ground. The young had recently
left the nest. twenty-five egg
shells and many fragments OF egg,
shells, chiefly those of the clapper'
rail and gulls, we're found in
crotch of the tree two or three feet
below the nest. On the ground all,
around this tree were shells of eggs
of clapper rails, gulls, herons, sonnet
willets, a few terms, and several
small non-game birds. There werei
fully 800 eggs under and about thlsi
tree.

1t is evident to any thoughtfufl
person that DO preserve game tory
future generations, it is highly es3-
sential that we should establish
sanctuaries where game will propa-
gate and be protected from natural
enemies. The islands visited are
largely owned or controlled by

destroy depredating birds and
other animals which prey upon the

HAMMOND SAYS
USE Big STICK
Chairman of Coal Commits
sion Favors Drastic Ac-
ton in Crisis.
PRESIDENT MUST ACT

Washington - The time has come
for the government to use the ''big
stick" on the coal industry, in the
opinion of John Hays Hammond,
chairman Of the United States Coal
Commission, and other members of
that body who have been labortng to
prevent walkout of anthracite min
ers Sept. 1.
Executive action, following emerg-
ency authorization by congress-, is
suggested by Hammond and approved
bv other members of the commission,
by which the government, in sit
uation such as exists today in the an
thracite fields, would take over the
operation of the mines and the trans
portation, distribution and marketing
of the coal.
"The time has certainly come &c
establish control in the anthracite in
dustry," says Hammond.
Coal is quite as much a public ne.
cessity as gas, street railway service
or other services or commodities tina
have been Brought under public regu'
lation.
Respect Public Interest.
"The guiding principle in coal pro
duction as in these other enterprises
must no longer be maximum profit t.
the owners, but maximum service t.
the public.
1.-THE president of the United State
should be authorized by Congress tt
declare that national emergency eX'
lists whenever through the failure OF
operators and miners in the anthracite
industry to agree upon terms of en-
! ployment or for any other reason
there is a suspension of mining oper-
atoms, seriously interrupting the nor
NAL supply of anthracite fuel, and to
take over the operation of the mines
and the transportation, distribution
and marketing of the product, with
full power to determine the wages to
be paid to mine workers, the prices
at which the coal shall be sold and,
sation to be paid to land and mine
owners"
Special Session Doubtful.
Whether this recommendation will
result in the calling of a special ses-
sion of congress by President Cool
idge, to ask for a grant of the specific
powers outlined, or whether Coolidge
will find some means of accomplishing
the same result by different means,
now seems uncertain. The need for
prompt, vigorous action makes some
alternative, if any such can be found,
seem most desirable. For, on the
basis Of recent performances, prompt
action by congress on so controversial
proposition would be most likely.

about ID years old, whose name was

swimmer, attempted to swim from the
bathing beach to the diving platform,
