It was he who ordered the boats lowered to rescue the surVlV- ing sailors. While directing the search and recovery of the bodies of those who perished, he issued the order which became famous in the navy.
 Tell the officer in charge of the guard" said Wainwright, when he learned that the Spanish commander of Havana had ordered his soldiers to lower the Maine's flag, that if a Spaniard touches the flag that flies another wreck in Havana harbor. Tell him I will sink his barge my self if he attempts to carry out that order"
 The most thrilling adventure in Wainwright's sea-faring career, oc- cured during the battle of Santiago. The yacht "Corsair'' woned by J. Pierpont Morgan, had been purchased by the government. Though unarm- ored, it was equipped with guns and crew and rechristened the "Glou- cester'. With Wainwright in con- mand, the steam-yacht attacked two sof the Spanish torpedoboats, stimuli taneously, blowing one out of the water and driving the other on the rocks when it was wrecked.
 Fighting Dick" was the name by which Wainwright became known. It was he who received the surrend- CT of Admiral Cervera and took him on board the "Gloucester" as a pris- oner of war.
 Wainwright returned from the war a national hero The citizens of Gloucester, Mass, considering that he had reflected glory on their city, presented him with loving cup. His friends in Washington gave a sword

Water Power, Flood Control
Survey Provided.
BD Tim es SDeciaI


WASHINGTON, May 2S.-An ap-
preparation for a preliminary water
power and flood control survey OF
the Wabash and White River basins
is included in the House rivers and
harbors BILL aaginst which members
have been conduscting a determined
flibuster, 1t was learned today.
Chairman Dempsey of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee told the
House that such a survey on the
Tennessee River had discovered
100000 potential horse power, and
that following these great results
it had been decided to include the
appropriation for other streams. Sew
aeral other eastern and midwestern
vers are included the total amount
sNuthorized being 100000.
The survey apparently would be
similar to the one proposed by Gen.
Harry Taylor, chief of Army Engi-
neers, recently, when he recommend
ed rejection of United States par
ticipation in surveying the White
River alone, but favored the general
survey Of the White Wabash basin
Congressman from Great Lakes
States are filibustering because they
fear passage of the bill would lend
legal support to Chicago's diversion
of lake water into her sewerage sys-
tenn and to the Illinois River.

Publicly Developed Hydro
Electric Power.
Times Washington Bureau.


WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Publi-
city developed hydro-electric power
has new advocate and no less a
one than the United States Interior
Department.
This department, whose secretary
few years ago advocated develop
ment of Boulder dam and other prof.
ects by private companies, has just
issued a formal statement on public
power that might have been written
by Senator Norris himself. 1t indi-
Gates forcibly the recent and unnis-
taxable trend toward public approval
of the principle Of public power.
The construction of dams to
store and divert water for irrigation
has afforded an opportunity for the
development of hydro-electric power
as an incident to irrigation" says
the statement.
"This power development has les
sened construction and operation
costs and materially improved the
condition of farmers on these prof.
ects.
"The total Investment in thirteen
Federal reclamations in three power
works is, $6.077, $40. Net earnings
for 1925 were $442,61s, or about 7
per cent.
''This satisfactory financial show
ing is, however, the least part of
the benefit. This chief gain has
come from having this cheap power
to operate pumping plants to furnish
irrigation water; to use as motive
power for drag line excavators.
Cheap power has put electric
lights in the homes Of people living
on the Minidoka, Shoshone, North
Platte, and other projects. Owning
the plants enable power to be- fur
nished at price the settlers could
afford to pay. If settlers had been
compelled to pay the rates which
a private power plant would have
had to charge. the farmers wives
would now be using gasoline and
kesosene.
