MAN LOST IN SNOW I:
IS FOUND living:
Death Is Cheated BY RScuers on
Mount Washington

Gorham. N. H. =. Oct. IS't~-Msx
EnsleharL 50 year old woodsman
who became lost IN a furious biiy-
card and spent 70 hours without food
or shelter on Mount Washington,
was safe in the Glen house here to-
day. Half frozen and bruised by
many falls on the Icy trail over the
precipltous headwall OF Tuckermans
ravine, be was too exhausted to ex-
plain why he left the shelter Of the
old stage office on the summit,
where he was stationed to care for
automobile parties, and attempt to
descend when the blizzard rode over
the mountain on a 100 mile gale.
Rescuers found him yesterday,
huddled in a hole he had burrowed
in the drifted snow In the ravine.
For four days and three nights he
had struggled down the mountain
until he found himself hemmed In by
drifts more than ten feet high In
places. His sole nourishment had
been sparing sips OF mountain brook
water. CO.,.
He knew he was lost only q few
hours after he left the summit, he
told rescuers, but banked on his
ability to live for eight days on wa
ter. He ploughed through TIE
snow by day, then dug hole in the
drifts and cravlsd in for shelter at
night. 8

by the Ashley Babcock store tells
Immediately why II was that. this
scene was awarded second prize.
What the well-dressed man will
wear" for evenings was featured. A
complete wardrobe for a gentleman
was shown including hat. coat,
gloves, dinner Jacket. collars, neck
ties. socks and shirt studs. even the
minutest detail OF sartorial perfec-
ton was presented to view. The
window spoke for itself the efforts
OF the store to cater to the younger
man. A hall table on which
spreading fern and two candle
shaped electric lights were placed,
added q touch OF art to the whole
and the formalness OF the display
was broken by an overcoat which Is
thrown carelessly but naturally over
the arm OF library chair. The en-
tire effect Is one OF harmony and
good taste.

REPORT
Discrepancies for October
Due to InadVertance,
Says Arnold

Explanation of the discrepancies
in the report of the WASHINGTON
Rapid Transit Company for the
month of October, when the re.
turn showed a loss. came from
Leon Arnold and C, v. Darby, Off,
cials of the company, and Byers
Mex. Bachman, accountant for the
Public Utilities Commission today.
Ii was said that after the report
foI the month Of Oc' ober, lin which
beth the local operations and those
OF the Silver Spring line were In
cIuded inadvertantly, a letter. was
sent to the commission saying that
separate. reports would be forth
coming, as soon as possible.
Mr.. Arnold said that there had
been no misunderstanding between
officials of. the bus company and
the Utilities Commission, but that
the delay, in submitting, the sepa-
rate reports was due to the time
consumed in conferences during
which efforts were being made to
compile the subsidiary accounts.
Arnold said he would have an ex.
PLANTATION made. of reports. that his
company had endeavored to cam
outage the records.
Major William e. r. Covell, as
sistant to the Engineer Commits
sioner. said that he could not
understand why the accountant
for the company submitted the
combined reports when the order
of the commission in granting the
Silver Spring line specifically said
that the books should be kept
separately.
The operation of the Silver Spring
line was entirely apart from the
local line, Major Covell said, and the
bus passengers should be no more
required to pay for the losses Of
that line than should they be forced
to meet the losses Of any other sub
sidiary to the utility.
A public hearing will probably be
held some time early next month
on the question of the reduction Of
fare on the Washington Rapid Tran
sit Company's lines. The Utilities
Commission is expecting to re-
ceive within the next few days a
brief from William NICK. Clayton,
utilities advisor of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, on the
situation.
