'eWe started out in a 26-foot launch
Monday morning to catch sail fish"
said Mr.. Mabry, "and had just gotten
out of sight of land when the igni-
ton went bad on us. While~We were
repairing the engine a gale struck us
and drove us further from shore.
when night descended we found
we had no idea of our whereabouts.
The storm was increasing in violence
every minute and our boat was re-
peatedly almost eapsiZed. We tried
to head in what We thought was the

AFTER 3 DAYS IN OPEN BOAT
Florida Fishers Picked Up BY Italian Steamer Folloring
Aimless Bufeting in Starless
Nights at Sea.

Then our gasoline gave out--and
we had seen no sign of the shore.
We had no compass. Our water sup
ply was low. We conserved what
little water we had and suhsiSted
chiefly on grapefruit. The cold was
intense and the spray soon soaked
our thin suits. We were kept bailing
most of the time"
After drifting aimlessly for day
and two nights the three men barely
were able to crawl about their boat,
Mr.. Mabry said so fatigued were they
from exposure and the intense cold.
The nights. he said. were things of
terror. since they had no lights and
were tossing on unknown waters
without even a sight of the stars to
reassure them.

steamer. Frantically he waved flag
improvised from a shirt and luckily
for us the signal of distress was seen
and we were taken aboard
The rescued fishermen rendered a
banquet to the officers of the Nalen

was bound from Galveston to Norfolk,
when the drifting launch was OBJ

The shifting storm had blown the
boat 60 miles south of Miami and 80
miles off shore. Cunningham formerly
was commercial and foreign repre-
sentative of the Adams Express Com

the Valentino Coda, and will be ship

0UTLAW|NG Of WAR
URGED BY COOLIDGE
Dedication of Armistice Day
to That Purpose Proposed
u by Executive.

Outlawing of war and the establish
ment of permanent peace through the
&dedication of Armistice day, Novem-
3ber IL. is suggested by President Cool =
Y1dge in a letter sent by him to Col.
7.Iames A. Drain, national commander
lof the American Legion.
the Presidents letter in full fol-
lows:
November /, 1924.
MY dear Col. Drain:
The inclusion of Armistice day in
the list of dates commem Grating great
events in our national history marked
A significant change in our world re-
1ationshipS. Prior to that first Armis-
tice day, which America greeted with
such enthusiasm, our historic ami
versaries had all been of exclusively
national character. They recalled
events of supreme Importance in our
Nations life, but of small value as
links between that life and the ac-
tivitieS of the outside world
Armistfce Day Memorial Date.
When, by common consent, Armis-
tice day was added to our calendar
of memorial dates, it took it's place
As the one in whose celebration we
will always be drawn closer to other
peoples who stand for liberal .insti-
and by many peoples, it will remind
them of their united efforts and COM
mon sacrifices in the bitteTest crisis
of civilizations history.
1T will always recall the fact that
humanity has far more reason for
unity than for discord. 1t will en-
phasize the common ideals and aspira-
tionS which must at last draw all
men into fraternity and set their feet
~ ho oe
impetus to the evergrowing convic-
tion that hatreds are needless, and
that rivalries ought to be only in
good works aimed for the general ad-
vancement.
1T Is desirable that Arimstice day
observations should impress these
considerations of common concern
and essential accord. They have in
past years been thus directed, and we
must all hope that they will be SIM
ilarly directed this year.
Impressive Tact Noted.
- The growth of sentiment for the
outlawry Of war from this earth has
been an impressive fact of recent
time. Men and women everywhere
have been giving thir best thought to
bring this end into full realization.
We shall make our greatest contribu-
tion to human welfare If we shall, on
this international anniversary of
peace restored, turn our thoughts and
endeavors to the ideal of peace per-
petuated, assured, and established as
a universal benison.
I'VE shall not fail in acknowledge
ing our obligation to those whose
noble service won the victory and es-
tablished our complete independence.
But along with this we should have
in mind the thought of peace gained
for all the world and all time through
cooperation of the same liberal
forces that brought the victory. Most
since rely yours,
(SignedD CALVIN COOLIDGE"

BETS ARE LAID ALL THREE WAYS
ON "HOSS' RACE TO WHITE HOUSE
Plymouth Entry With Light Jockey Rules
Farorite, But Other T,co Racers Haze
LOOk.in on Big Money.

On the eve of the great three-cor
nered White House derby to decide
the national championship in the
presidential sweepstakes the claims
OF the supporters of the three leading
entrants are so conflicting and /con-
fusing that no one can tell definitely
just how the big race tomorrow will
turn out.
While many of the veteran track
experts pick the Plymouth entry,
with c. Coolidge up. because of the
fact that the course is not a new
one to this stable and because of the
mature experience of the jockey and
for various other reasons. stable
mates of the Clarksburg sprinter are
passing around info straight from
the feedbag that they have a decid-
edly good thing, thoroughly suited to
the strenuous going and piloted by
none other than the famous Johnny
Davis, who has many victories in less
important races to his credit.
Likes Heavy Track.
Meanwhile the large following of
the dark horse that made Milwaukee
famous, though carrying rather
large poundage in Jockey Bob La
Toilette, are causing some concern
among the faithful by wise looks,
mods and whispers. The Progressive
entry, it must be remembered. likes
heavy track, and this fact, coupled
with the knowledge that the Wiscon-
sin turf enthusiasts are pulling for
a storm tomorrow, lends certain
amount of significance to the dope be-
ing peddled about.
The betting gentry are laying long
odds on the present holder of the
championship to win, but there ap-
pears also to be a goodly amount of
money backing the West Virginia
colors. If the Wisconsin entry comes
home in front it will pay a long
price, judging from present indica-
tions. The other three or four ELI
gibles may go to the post all right,

MERIT SYSTEM FAVORED.
Poll of Major Parties on Method
of Appointments,

The National Civil Service Reform
Laegue last night announced that re-
plies received from national commit
teemen of major political parties on
the question of upholding the merit
system of appointment to public Office
have been three-fourths favorable
and one-fourth non -committal.
Fourteen replies, it was said, were
received from Republican national
committeeman and 18 from Demo-
cratic committeeman indorsing the
resolution, while the replies of Will

but everybody seems agreed that
they will suffer from severe cases
of heaves, rheumatics and paralysis
before the race is barely started.
Handling Of jockeys.
1t is admitted by the clockers that
the all-important factor in the big
derby tomorrow will be the handling
of the sprinters by the jockeys. AS
horses go. the trio of favorites men,
toned are about evenly matched and
the boys up will just about determine
who will get the four-year title. the
White House trophy and-the $4,000
added.
Exclusive interviews were obtained
from each jockey today by this writer
and the results are printed herewith
so that the reader may judge for
himself the chances of each. The ques-
tion asked each was the same, viz,
What do you think your chances Of
winning are? Here are their replies:
Reds Coolidge: "Uh-huh"
Jack Davis: Il am determined to
stir up chaos and calamity"
Bobbie La Toilette: "The party of
the third part will get the verdict
l have the jurors with me-"
Eleventh-hour predictions were
being made by few turf habitues
today that the Coolidge steed may
suffer from lack of wind. in such a
long dash, basing their assertions on
his shortage of it during the train
ing period just ending. Others say
that he has merely been saving his
breath for the climax
The possibility of a dead heat be-
tween the Plymouth and Clarksburg
entries has not been overlooked by
the fans, and in that case there will
be a run-off of the tie before con-
gressional judges.
At any rate the grandstands will
get their moneys worth tomorrow,
and the indications point to a record
crowd of rooters at the booths before
the finish.
