ciety, Says Presidents Atti-
tude Is Unknown.

president of the National Association
of Audubon Societies, called at the
White House today and urged President

bird bill which is now before him.
Before going to the White House,
Dr. Pearson said he had obtained an
opinion from Gen. Lord. director of the
budget. that the $4,000, 600 appropria-
ton provided in the bill to carry out
the comprehensive plan of bird protec-
ton, was not opposed to the Presidents
policy of economy.
He was accompanied to the White
House by Senator Norbeck of South
Dakota and Representative Andersen
of Minnesota. He said the President
appeared greatly interested in the bill,
which proposed to establish inviolate
sanctuaries In various parts Of the
country on which hunting will be pro-
hibited in carrying out the migratory
bird treaty with Canada. President
Coolidge did not indicate whether he
would approve the bill.
DR.. Pearson Is chairman also of the
National Committee on Wild Life Pres
ervation. which represents the various
Audubon Societies. game wardens and
others interested In protecting bird and
animal life.

HOUSE DALE BILL
VOTE IS DEMANDED
Hudson Calls Retirement
Measure Refuge Bill for
Human Kind.
rom the $50 Edition of Yesterdays Starr

Demand that the membership of the
House be given an opportunity to vote
on the Dale bill to liberalize the Civil
Service retirement law was made this
afternoon during general debate on the
legislative appropriation bill.
Representative Hudson, Republican,
Michigan, led the demand. Referring
to the bird refuge legislation that
was rushed through in response to
an avalanche of letters received by
members of Congress, Mr.. Hudson de-
clared that the Dale measure Is a
refuge bill for human kind. while we
are not cluttered with letters as we
have been on other measures, want
to bring to your attention that hundred;
and thousands of men and women who
served the Government for lifetime
are in need of this protection. They
are now on the bare hills Of necessity,
he said.
Garner Questions Hudson.
Minority Leader Garner questioned
MIR. Hudson as to how the special rule
ordered by the rules committee had
been held up 1T is my understand
ing" said Mr. Garner, that it is done
by direction of the President of the
United States" Mr. Hudson said he
did not believe that this was so. Rep
resentative Woodruff, Republican. OF
Michigan, asked the speaker if he really
believed that this legislation would
become a law even If passed by both
houses Of Congress. and Mr.. Hudson
answered that he had no reason to be-
lieve otherwise.
Representative Blanton, Democrat
Texas, declared that when the rules
committee ordered out rule 1t was
the duty of the chairman of that COM
mittee to report the rule to the House
within reasonable time and referred
to the fact that Chairman Smell of the
rules committee was then presiding in
the committee of the whole, saying, 1--WE
now have the chairman of the rule
committee in position where he can't
say anything"
Mr.. Smell promptly called Represent
alive Williams, of Illinois to take his
Mr.. Hudson answered Mr.. Blanton that
he felt Mr.. Smell at the proper time
would report this bill.
Boylan Favors Relief.
Mr.. Garner and Mr.. Schafer. Repuo-
lican, or Wisconsin, then questioned
whether it was the duty of Congress to
obey promptly such orders that might
come from the other end of the Capitol
and stbp legislating because the measure
under consideration did not meet the
wishes of the President. Mr.. Schaefer
declared that Congress should not be q
rubber stamp for the President.
Representative Boylan, Democrat.
New York, said he was in sympathy
with the drive to get the legislative re-
lief for the superannuated employees and
said he would be glad to cooperate If
workable plan was suggested.
Mr. Smell asked Mr. Hudson II the
actuaries had not stated that this meas
ure would cost 100000 900. Mr. Hudson
replied that any such estimate was all
wrong and Mr.. Smell commented that
if better figures could be had the Gov
eminent ought to get them.

INSANITY STORY DOUBTED.
Seattle Mariners Believe Seaman Seeks
Small Fortune in Salvage.

Small Fortune In Salvage.
SEATTLE, February Is R).-Mariners
here declared today that the oiler who
refused to abandon the freighter
Alloway with SO other members OF the
crew off the Aleutian Islands yesterday
may not be insane as reported, but
perhaps rather wise.
Brief radio advices from the steamer
Montauk. which rescued the men in
Unimak Pass, reported that oiler Policy
of Seattle had gone crazy from the
five-day battle with an Alaskan storm
and could not be forced to leave the
distressed ship. Mariners suggested.
however that Policy may be stalking his
life against a small fortune in salvage.
If the Alloway should be saved he
would be entitled to a percentage OF
the salvage, depending on the part
that his staying with the ship played
in her rescue. Admiralty courts look
favorably upon claims of seamen for
their part in saving property endanger-
ed at sea, shipping authorities said.
Ships given up as doomed on the
Alaskan coast often are salvaged.
Salvage awards frequently amount to
half the value of the ship and cargo
There are 600 tons of wheat and
100000 feet of lumber In the Alloway's
cargo.

DUTCH HARBOR, Alaska, February
13.-The Japanese steamer Nankah
Maru lowered off the rockbound Aleu-
tian Islands, fighting heavy storm to-
day, as it awaited an opportunity to
rescue IS men aboard the doomed Japa-
nese freighter Meiyo Maru. Not far
away a third japanese vessel, the Allo-
way, with one craZed member of her
crew aboard, was being driven toward
destruction on the rocks.
The Nankan Maru reached the Meiyo
Maru late yesterday, several hours aft
er the latter had broadcast weak sig
nails that she, was pounding to pieces
on the rocks of Ugamak Island. Be-
cause of heavy seas the rescue vessel
was unable to assist her, but stood by,
waiting for the storm to subSide.
80 Seamen Picked Up.
Thirty-three members of the crew of
the Alloway were picked up in lifeboats
by the steamer Montauk yesterday after
an unsuccessful f1ve-day fight against
the storm. The Montauk had been try
ing to tow the AlloWay to Dutch Harbor.
When the towline broke and the dis
abled vessel began heading for the
rocks of Unimak Pass the Montauk be-
gan to back away. The helpless ship
crashed into the Montauk, but the latter
made safe getaway, while all except
one member of the AlloWay's crew took
to lifeboatS.
The crazed member Of the Alloway's
crew, a man named Policy, refused to
leave the doomed freighter. The Allo-
ways dragging anchors caught on a
rock a few yards off shore and at last
reports she was holding there with
Poiey still aboard.
Fights Rescuers.
The Montauk reported that the an
chors would soon give and that the Allo-
way doubtless would be pounded to
pieces. The captain of the Montauk
declared he would not endanger his own
ship further in an attempt to take
Pciey from the vessel. Poieys compan-
ions said he had fought them When
they tried to take him into lifeboat.
What caused the Meiyo Maru to go
aground remained undetermined. The
Nankoh Maru's reports indicated that
there was no hope of saving the vessel,
and that the storm was so intense that
it could not be determined whether
she was on Ugamak or Aiktak Island.
Both the Alloway and the Meiyo Maru
we're on their way to the Orient. The
Alloway was to have been scrapped
upon reaching her destination.

take a look at the Honduran coast for
possible landing places for future planes
and caused some anxiety when he failed
to arrive at Havana yesterday on the
projected schedule. While the world
sought for news of his whereabouts
Lindbergh was calmly alighting on
isolated La Fe Bay, off the extreme
western coast of Cuba, and refueling MS

with officials of the Pan-American Air
ways here. He departed 2 hours and II
minutes after his arrival from Havana
and indicated he would go to Key West
and from there to Lone Key, near

and a mechnic Hambleton made the
trip as an observer.
Lindbergh expected to cruise about
the Florida keys in the vicinity OF the
spot where Galloway was believed to
have been floating last night, although
it was stated that he would probably
fly along the course of the Gulf Stream,
where it was believed that the plane
owned by Richard F. Hoyt OF New York
might have drifted with the current.
Planes left early this morning for q
flight along the coast between here and
Key West to augment search by Coast
Guard and naval craft which put out
yesterday to locate the plane.
Although poor visibility was said te
be handicapping the searching party

ing amphibian was expressed. Searchers
expressed the belief that it was resting
on calm waters sheltered by keys ir
the vicinity of American Shoals.

HAVANA. February Is 0P).-Curios-
ity was aroused today as to whether
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh would fly to
Mexico City to visit his fiancee, Miss
Anne Morrow.
A laccnic statement. 81 will conf1ne

Lindbergh had to say about his en-
caeement. but in combining his remarks
to aviation he outlined flight schedule

Los Angeles. At Los Angeles he will
be within days flight of Mexico City,

later when word came of landing for
fuel at La Fe, Cuba, about 100 miles
east of here; he himself arrived at
Columbia Air Field at 7:48 pm.
Word of his engagement had pre-
coded him and he apparently knew it..

faced reporters with the comment:
"Well, you know all about it and
have nothing to say"
Repeated questioning brought only the
additional statement that he would

The flyers, who were also accompanied
by Lieut.. Christian Schilt, Marine
