To Save Girls
From Drowning
by United Press Leased Wire

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Aug. "a
Mocking Bird lake, the scene of a
. triple drowning tragedy here late
yesterday, was being dragged today
for the body of Ronald Huber, the
~ year old boy who vainly tried
to save the lives of two drowning
girls.
A seven months old baby, whose
tumble into the water cost the lives
of three would-be rescuers, its
young mother, its aunt, and little
Ronald, was saved and none the
worse today for IFS experience.
The tragedy came as the culmin-
alton of a happy picnic party. Mrs
Robert Burton, II, and her sister,
Mary Roberts, l2, had gone wading
in flume leading into the lake,
leaving Mrs. Burton IS baby on the
edge. A sudden rush of water swept
the infant into the lake.
Despite her inability to swim, the
young mother leaped into the lake
Immediately and, hampered by her
clothing, went down calling for
help. The young sister went to her
assistance and also went down be-
fore crowd of stupefied onlook-
ers.
Young Ronald was the only vol
unteer. He succeeded in dragging
the baby to safety but when he re-
turned to save its mother she caught
him in a death struggle and the
two were drowned together.

POLICE PROBE
TORTURINC. OF
COAST Y0UTH H
Investigation Leads to
Marine Post In
San Diego

LONG BEACH, Cal, August "a.
Following accusations made by
the boys grief-stricken mother, the
trail of the investigation of the
brutal hazing of Clarence Hale, 10
year old messenger boy of this
city, led today to the marine corps
barracks at San Diego.
The youth is said to have stay
ed at the barracks for few days
last week pending his final exami-
nations for enlistment into the ma
rine corps. Marine officials reject
ed the boys application, and that
was the last heard of him until he
appeared at his home here early
Tuesday morning in state of col
lapse.
"Clarence has told us enough
during lucid moments to convince
us that he was the victim of haz-
ing at San Diego" Mrs. Hale de-
clared.
"I sent him away happy and
smiling with what he thought was
a rosy future in the service of I'M
Gle Sam ahead of him. They brought
him back to me in the night broken
in mind and body. We don't know
whether he will live or not
The boy was still delirious today
as he has been ever since his re-
turn. His family claims that at no
time has he been able to give even
disconnected story of his expert
ences. Physicians are treating him
for serious bruises and welts on his
back, which gives evidence of n
severe flogging, and for burns in
his ears and mouth into which the
hazers apparently poured hot acid.
According to the boys mother,
he is suffering from hallucinations
which caused him to believe he is
bleeding to death.
"He talks continually about the
big knives they cut him with,' she
says. 81 think those responsible
for the hazing showed the boy these
knives and after blindfOlding him
made believe they were cutting him
by putting something cold against
his flesh.
"I think they frightened him out
of his mind with their threats and
tortures.
Investigators from the district
attorneys office were today attempt
ing to trace the boys movements
since he made his attempt to join
the eolors and was sent by the gov
ernment to San Diego.

WASHINGTON, August "a
JOHN Hays Hammond, chairman
of the United States Coal COM
mission, today expressed the opin-
ion that the government s plan to
supply the country with suffici-
ent bituminous coal will prevent
or break q strike in the anthracite
industry.
Hammond, in press conference
today, made comprehensive state
ment of the government s policy
and the plan depended upon by
President Coolidge to bring about
an eventual agreement between the
operators and miners.
Hopes of averting shutdown of
the hard coal mines were raised
today by confidential advices reach
ing government officials that signs
of a compromise are evident among
contending operators and nmiers.
Despite these encouraging reports
the government continued its pre-
parations for meeting strike with
anthracite substitutes.
Chairman Hammond was the most
optimistic official in Washington
regarding an agreement to prevent
strike or the flow of coal from
the anthracite mines next week.
OPERATORS WEAKENING
Meanwhile the reassuring reports
were kept secret. Unofficial re-
ports however, indicated the dispo-
sition to compromise was largely on
the part of the operators.
The miners apparently intend to
stick to their demaIels.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a.
The attack upon Andrew M.
Lawrence, publisher of the San
Francisco Journal and other
mer classed as his political en-

fornia, is characterized as the
senator's political swan song in
an answer by Lawrence, pub

Senator Johnson is afraid
that more letters may be pub

states. His attack was not
launched because of the import
ance of the particular letter.
"The letter was not obtained
by burglary nor by bribery.
"If Senator johnson exercis-

selecting his own friends he
might not have to complain so
bitterly about his so called
enemies.'
Lawrence indicated that he

I. w. w. Threaten
Terror Reign
In Wild Tales
BY United PRESS Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO CAL, Aug. "a
Wild stories of reign of terror,
planned by the I. w. w. in protest
against the injunction issued
against the organizatiori are being
sent out of Sacramento today.
The stories probably are as gen
uine as was the tale of march
of 10000 I. w. w. on Sacramento,
which was circulated at the time
temporary restraining order was
issued several weeks ago. No
"army'' materialized Of any size
whatever.
The authorized representatives
of the I. w. w. nere are proceed
ing in as orderly manner as are
the representatives of "the people
of the state of California; ir
whose name was granted the in
junction that takes from the I. w.
w. the right of trial by jury.
The injunction granted yesterday
makes membership in the I. w. w.
contempt of court and empowers
any superior court judge to send
members of the organization to
Jail for six months.
The injunction is pendente lite
for ten days. At the end of that
time if attorneys for the organi-
cation fail to show cause why the
injunction, should not be made per-
manont, it. becames effective as a
permanent injunction automatically.
-Four alleged I. w. w. are on
trial by jury now in the court that
issued the Injunction. They are ac-
cused under the criminal syndical-
ism law of 1919. Under the in
junction such trial will not be nee
essary to send members of the or
ganization to Jail for six months,
but may be invoked if the prose-
cutting attorney asks for a state
penitentiary sentence.

Tasks Truly Bismarckian


Stresemann gives the impression
of being a man whose tasks are
truly Bismarckian, involving either
moulding together decaying eco
nomic situation or passing on an
inheritance of chaos, despair and
destruction. He is young, active
and energetic and manifested abil-
ity and earnestness as he reiter-
ated Germany's willingness to lay
the Justice of her ease before an
international court, or submit the
whole reparations questions to a
commission built along the lines
suggested by Secretary Hughes in
his New Haven speech.
Stresemann also pictured the
desperate efforts of his cabinet to
raise a foreign currency fund with
which to rescue the slumping mark
and provide sufficient food to stave
off anarchy in the nation, now
staggering under high prices and
the spectre of unemployment.
