MAN OVERBOARD' CRY
STARTLES STEAMER
Two Men Jump In River After
Revenue Agent Finds Liquor
in Stateroom.

A cry Of Man overheard" stirred
UP things generally aboard the steam
er st. Johns, en- route to Colonial
Beach, about noon yesterday. Pres
emily a second man went overheard,
but it became apparent that both men
were good swimmers and were max
ing for the Maryland shore.
Harry Thomas, resident of Seventh
street southwest, was first to leap
into the river He went overheard
through a window in an effort to
escape after his arrest by revenue
agent. Walter Thomas said he went
overheard to save his brother. but
officers of the boat thought it was
for the purpose of escaping because
he was involved in a liquor investi-
cation.
Capt. Bailey Reed had the engineer
stop the boat and return to the place
where the men were in the water at
point between Dents wharf and
Liverpool. One of them had been
picked up by persons in a yacht be-
fore the st. Johns reached them, and
both were taken aboard the steamer.
1t was in an effort on the part Of
the steamboat company to insure
safety to passengers and freedom
from possible annoyances on part of
persons under the influence of liquor
that Revenue Agent B. j. Mulligan
was invited to make the trip. There
had been troubles experienced at the
wharf with bottle toters" Saturday
morning.
Six men were said to have made
such frequent trips to stateroom
that the revenue agent examined the
room and seized quart and two
separate pints of corn liquor Then
the six men were taken in custody.
None of them claimed the liuuor,
however, and they were released after
the boat landed at Colonial Beach.

YOUR BONUS
Questions That Bother You
Will Be Answered in
This Column.
Address: Room 722. News De.
pnrtment. The Evening Star.
Warrington, ID. C.

Q. I am permanently and totally
disabled on account of the military
service which I rendered and receive
from the Government s157.50 per
month as compensation and payments
upon the term insurance which l car
ried during the war period. 1 have a
wife and three children. l am able
to follow any gainful occupation, and,
of course, we have a rather hard time
to get along upon this sum. My ad-
justment of compensation will be due
me in cash If I live 20 years. or If
die 1T will be paid to my wife, whom
I have named as my beneficiary. The
insurance bonus plan is all right and
1t is sound and logical. except that all
insurance carries total and permanent
disability benefits. Why is it this in
surance does not mature and become
due and payable when the insured
becomes totally and permanently dis
abled? 1t occurs to me this would
be fair, both to the Government and
the veteran. 1t would in the cases
of disease or accidents make the
bonus worth something to the person
who rendered the service. AS it is
now. a veteran has to live 20 years
to get bonus, and in the way have
suggested those who became totally
and permanently disabled at least
would have bonus. Please tell me
If this is a good idea and worthy of
constderation?-H. II. r.
A We think this is a. very good
idea Insurance generally natures
upon death or total and permanent
disability, and there is no reason why
congress should not be willing to
amend the law and make this in
surance so payable. 1t would GER
tainly prove Of great benefit, espe-
cially to those who are already total
ly and permanently disabled. I'm
doubtedly your idea will be taken up
by the various veteran organizations
and at some future time may be con-
sidered by Congress.
Q. During the World War 1 served
at Washington as commissioned
officer assisting in organization work
with enlisted men in the Air Service.
During part of this service I actually
commanded detachment Of enlisted
men. AT the same time I received
communication of heat, light and quar-
ters. VIII such service be classed
with troops? What answer should
1 give to question 14?-G. w. M,

to have been rendered with troops.
You are entitled to the benefits for
the period of such service. Under
