SENATOR STANFIELD
SAVES WOMAN'S LIFE
Rescues Swimmer Who Was
Caught Far OFF Shore in
Strong Undertow.

Senator Robert N. Stanfleld of Ore
gon was back in Washington today
after an eventful trip to Ocean City,
Nd, in the course of which he rescued
a woman from drowning. The Sena-
tor minimized his part in the rescue
declaring that others assisted in. get
ting the woman ashore. He was the
first to reach her. however, and kept
her from going down until help ar
rived.
A Mrs. Swanson, wife of a real
estate dealer of Miami, Fla, was the
bather who became caught in the un'
dertow about 200 feet from shore,
She was struggling vainly when Sen
ator Stanfield, who was swimming a
short distance away, heard her cries,
and quickly reached her.
About the same time Mr.. Swanson
who was watching from a nearby
pier, dived into the water in his street
clothes and others also went to the
assistance of Mrs. Swanson and aided
in getting her to the beach. She
suffered no i'll effects from the narrow
escape.

held Friday. The general committee
will pass upon these recommendations
before any final decision is reached.
Gen. Andrews, who said that he
was pleased with the progress made,
intimated that worldwide co-opera-
ton Of foreign governments might
materiaIize as a result OF the Anglo
American discussions. In the event
that an agreement is reached with
Great Britain, 1t Is considered likely
that other governments would be APP
preached by the United States with
q view to cooperation against liquor
smuggling.
Although much liquor Is reaching
the United States from Great Britain,
some is said also to be arriving there
from Holland, Belgium, Germany and
France.
The possibility Of approaching other
nations, Gen. Andrews said, Is a
question which would have to be de.
cided by Washington, as It would en-
tail considerable diplomatic negotia.

CLARENDON, Va, July 21.-Feel.
ing that the Washington and Vir-
ginia Railway Co. has been Of in
calculable value In the development
of Arlington County, and its discon-
tinuance would work irreparable dam
age, the board of directors of the Ar
lington County Chamber of Commerce,
meeting yesterday, went on record ia
voring a movement aimed to keep the
road in operation.
The action of the meeting favors
the stand taken by the Fairfax Cham.
Der of Commerce looking to continu-
ance of the service, and authorizes
the appointment of a committee to co..
operate with the neighboring body in
working out plan that will have
that effect.
Aid to Development.
Since it's inauguration in 1892, it
was pointed out. the railway has
proved great inducement to, home
seekers, both in Arlington and Fair
fax Counties, and it deserves much of
the credit for the building UP of these
two communities.
Ashton C. Jones, in urging some
thing to be done to save the road,
said:
Should the service be discontinued.
the loss in property values in Airing
ton and Fairfax Counties would be
hard to estimate. While there are
sections of Arlington County that
have good bus service, there are hum
dreds Of citizens further in the county
and extending to Fairfax that would
be greatly affected, not only in prop
erty values, but they would have no
means Of transportation to and from
Washington. There Is no question
but where there Is a good car service
that section Is bound to be benefited.
Take the road away and the citizens
of both Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties will soon see the effect it will
have"
Airline Secretary Needed.
Clarence r. Ahalt, president Of the
chamber, who presided, called atten-
ton to the urgent need of an all-time
secretary for the organization, follow
ing which a committee, consisting of
Ashton G. Jones and X. A. Brumback,
was appointed to consider a number
of applications that had been made
for the place and to make recon-
mendations to the next meeting of
the board.
A man Of wide business ability, with
strong personality and ability to d.
rect, is the man who should be en-
gagged. Mr.. Ahalt declared.

Bell Announces.

Amendment of a/legal adviser to

ton act for the current fiscal year, VIII
not be made by the Commissioners
because Of the temporary tenure OF
the office and the lack of need of that

nounced today by Engineer Commits.
sioner J. Franklin Bell, chairman OF
the Public Utilities Commission.
A salary of $500 year Is pro
vided for the attorney for the COM
mission in the current appropriation
act.
"Such an attorney has been urgent
" needed, and considerable attention
has been devoted recently to the selec-
ton of a suitabl man." said a state
ment issued by Commissioner Bell.
1.-THE Commissioners have decided,
however, not to make the appoint
ment for the following reasons:
81. The probability that new Pub
lie Utilities Commission will be func-
tioning in about six months makes the
proposed position a temporary one
and several of the best prospective
appointees would not be willing to &C.
cept this temporary position without
some assurance OF subsequent ap-
pointment on the new commission or
as peoples counsel. Such assurance
cannot be given.
20. It is manifest that the public
interest would not be greatly bene-
flied by a temporary employment, es-
pecially as Congress is not in session,
some Of the courts are not in session,
and the present commission viii not
initiate matters of major importance
which cannot be completed before the
new commissioners are appointed"
The bill providing for a separate

Congress at it's last session, but not
