Is STARVING ON ICE-LOCKED
ISLAND; THREE BATTLE WAY
ASHORE TO ASK FOR REL IEF

ing the little colony, an attempt was
made by four men to cross to the
mainland. They started on foot,
but two miles from the island the
ice broke up and two the men mar
rowly escaped death by drowning
before the return to the island was
accomplished.
A week later the men started
again, but when two miles out they
were caught in a binding snow
storm. They wandered about, UNI
certain about their direction, for
nearly a day before finding their
way back to the island.
Last Monday morning a third
start was made. Edward Horn. %;
Carl Cooper, 35, and Ellis Sayres, 81,
were the men who composed the
party which left the island in a
stoutly built skiff, eight feet long.
They carried one pair of oars, an
eight-foot pole and an axe. They
had no food. Nearly starved, they
took turns at the oars. There was
open water for about five miles.

D. A R. CONVENTION
THROWN IN UPROAR
BY. SLANDER> CHARGE

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The
stir created by the circumstances of
the sudden withdrawal of Mrs. Will
liam Cumming Story, Of New York,
as a candidate for president general
was still evident among delegates
to the annual congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolu'
ton today as they prepared to vote
on the two remaining candidates
and their tickets.
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, of
Pennsylvania, and Mrs. G. Wallace
w. Hanger, of Washington, were
the candidates left in the field today
as the result of Mrs. Story's with
drawal Immediately after she was
nominated last night. Her declara-
ton from the floor that she was
withdrawing in favor of Mrs. Cook
in Reputation of campaign based
upon defamation of the character of
q candidate" threw the convention
into an uproar. Mrs. Cook there
upon announced she was perfectly
willing to share Mrs. Story's votes
with Mrs. Hanger"
Mrs. Story's allusion to defamation
OF character was followed by a
statement issued by the Pennsyl'
vania delegation branding as false
and libeIous an anonymous letter
circulated among members of the
society before the congress con-
vened, which, it was said, reflected
on the war record of Mrs. Cook s
son. The statement said affidavits
were held at the Pennsylvania head
quarters which proved the falsity
OF the anonymous letter which also
had been denounced by Mrs. Cook
as untrue.
Mrs. George Maynard Minor, the
retiring president general, also de
nounced the circulation Of the let
ter, in declaring she could not con
denim too strongly such low, un
derhand method of attack, of which
] cannot believe any member OF
our society would be guilty"
Possibility of deadlock between
the two remaining candidates and
their tickets doomed today with talk
of a dark horse" enlivening the
contest. A scattering vote, for Mrs.
Story in spite of her withdrawal,
might block the way to a necessary
majority, it was pointed out. for

j. s. TAX BURDEN IS
SECOND HEAVIEST,
BANKERS ARE TOLD

, SHREVEPORT, La, April 10
The tax burden per capita in the
United States, is only exceeded by
that of Great Britain and is a close
second, and it probably is hopeless
to expect any decrease, DIR! w. F.
Gephart, vice president of the First
National bank, of st. Louis, said
today in an address before the Loui'
siana State Bankers association in
annual meeting here.
1t has been estimated that each
person in the United States works
one day a week to support the gov
eminent which now is operated at a
cost of about four billions of dollars
a year, he said. Speaking on the
subject of tax exempt securities, !"
the total debt of the states, cities
and local governments mounted from
four billions in 1918 to ten billions
in 1922, he said.
"It is probably hopeless" he said,
regardless of the promises of po-
liticaI parties, for the citizen to eX-
pect the burden of taxation to de-
crease. Unless there is miracu
lous change in the attitude of the
people toward their governments,
taxes, In general, will tend to in
crease rather than decrease"
Secretary Mellon, Of the treasury,
he said, had stated that there are
eleven billions of United States Sc
curities totally exempt from taxation
and about twenty billions of other
government securities partially ex-
empt, and that the government loses
between $50 and 800 millions Of dol
lars annually, because of the tax ex-
emption feature.

The faculty of school No. 4 has
been increased by the addition OF

ditions, both are part time classes.
The sessions are from s a. IN. to IL

and No. 10 have been much i'm
proved by the pavement that has
been laid there during the summer.
The pavement is an aid to cleanli-
ness. Pupils are careful in keep

At a meeting of the teachers of
schools No. 4 and No. 10 held yes
terday an interesting demonstration
Of blackboard drawing was present
ed by Miss Esther Widerstrom
Miss Widerstrom had several beau
tiful illustrations of Japanese Gus
toms and life on her blackboards
and after a short Introductory talk,
she drew another sketch to explain
her method more fully. Upon the
suggestion of MI. Predmore, Miss
Widerstrom offered to conduct class
rs in blackboard illustration for the
teachers of schools Nos. 4 and 10.
On this occasion Mr.. Predmore
told the teachers about the project
method. Several projects that Mr..
Predmore saw worked out at Rut-
gers during the summer session were
discussed and exhibited. Those who
attended the meeting, besides the
schools faculty were Mrs. Dryden

After much discussion 1t was as

The new pavement at school No

tect the school property from acts
of vandalism on the part of those
who use the school grounds as a pub
