ton in favor OF coal from the Northern

MAN SAVES THREE
CHILDREN IN CREEK
{. H. McReady, BaIIston,
Rescues 11-Year-0ld Girls
From Deep Pit in Water.

Three 11-year-old girls were probably
saved from drowning in Rock Greek
yesterday afternoon by the prompt and
courageous action of Edward H. Nc
Ready, 27 years old. of Ballston, Va.
who rescued them from hole into
which they had slipped while wading
in the stream.
The little girls were Mary V. Conway
OF 4120 Eighth street. Dorothy Hanson
Of 8l4 Upshur street, and Helen White
of 4009 Eighth street. They were little
the worse for their escape from drown
ing and after resting a few minutes
on the banks were able to find the rest
of their party and be taken to their
homes.
They had gone to the park on pic
mic with several other children and
Mrs Walter H. Conway of 4i20 Eighth
street and Mrs Thomas Gallagher of
4ll9 Eighth street.
The three little girls, accompanied
by Helen Gallagher, had strayed OF
from the rest of the picnickers and de-
cided TO go in wading. The Gallagher
girl stayed on shore.
Helen White, who was ahead OF the
rest of the children, was the first TO
step into the hole. The water closed
over her head and when she came to
the surface she screamed for help. Mary
went to her assistance and she too slip

ment again advised against action. The
suit was filed In Porto Rico. and In the
meantime Wells was appointed district
judge OF Porto Rico. The defendant
objected to the hearing of the case by
Judge Wells and Chief Justice Emilio
Del Toro was called in.
The Government alleged that the land
in question was worth million dollars
while the naval officials held that it
had no peace time value to the Govern
ment. The chief justice found against
Baker on the Governments complaint
that the transaction was permeated
with fraud because Baker was acting
in fiduciary capacity in his dealings
with the land on behalf OF the Govern
ment.
The controller general of the United
States handed down an opinion in
which he stopped the pay and allow
.anceS OF Comdr Baker Attorneys for
Baker were denied an injunction
against the controller and took the
case to District of Columbia Court of
Appeals. which reversed the lower
court. contending that even If Baker
did have "unclean hands" in the Porto
Rico transaction, that charge would not
stand in a collateral case. Last March
Bakers pay was ordered released.
Then came the appeal and much of
the evidence was taken in this city.
The opinion is full of letters from
former Secretaries of the Navy, uphold
ing Comdr. Baker. and even reports
from committees of Congress which
handled the legislation which gave the
department authority to make the lease
for Baker
mo Misrepresentation"
The court said that clearly there was
no misrepresentation in the statement
that the property was OF little value
to the Government in time of peace.
its main value was TO the Government
In time of war or national emergency.
and this value 1t still retains and 1t is
relieved from the burden OF caring for
1t in time OF peace. We would not un-
dertake TO dispute the opinion of the
Government, acting through the Navy
Department, that the interest conveyed
10 Baker was of no personal value to
the Government except for the pur-
pose to which 1t was devoted by the
lease"
In commenting on the criticism of the
transaction of the Porto Rican district
attorney. the court put in the opinion
