injured, one seriously, when the Ute
Pass Fish Club Dam gave way near
here today and a torrent OF water
swept away the Colorado College settle
ment below the dam.
Springs, lost her life, while Charles F.
Emery, Colorado Springs, and DR.. and
Mrs. William Lennox, Newton Center,
Mass, were injured.
Warning Saves Many.
A score Of persons. most OF them
Colorado College professors and stu
dents, were in the cabins at the time.
A warning given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Emery probably saved the lives Of many
as the wall Of water swtrled down upon
the settlement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Emery were awakened
by the roar of water rushing down the
valley.
Directing his wife to flee to higher
ground, Emery ran from cabin to cabin
shouting that the dam had broken.
Occupants made their way to high
pointS and safety.
The cabin In which DR.. and Mrs.
Lennox were sleeping was the first

doctor and his wife emerged the cabin
loosened on its foundation and went
swirling down the valley. Clinging to
each other, Lennox and his wife, car
ried on the crest Of the flood. managed
to reach bank, where they were later
found.
Rev. John H. Franklin of New York
foreign secretary of the American Bap-
tist Missionary Society, and his wife
and daughter experienced narrow
escape. When the flood struck their
cabin Dr. Franklin and his wife rushed
to their daughters room, realizing that
she, being a paralytic, could not aid
herself.
AS they reached her room they saw
the dining room of the cottage crumple
and float away. Just before the re-
mainder Of the cabin collapsed DR..
Franklin battered his way through a
window opening onto higher ground
and lifted his wife and daughter to
safety. He then chopped his way with
an ak into another cabin and rescued
a woman trapped there.
The flood, which receded nearly as
soon as 1t struck, demolished every
cabin in the settlement.

GLOBE-GIRDLING BOAT
is DESTROYED BY FIRE
Auxiliary Schooner Abacena Burns
and Sinks in Long Island
Sound Despite Fight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 31.-The no.
foot round-the-world auxiliary schooner
yacht Abacena, owned by Stacy Bailey
of Daytona Beach, Fla, was destroyed
by fire of undetermined origin today
and sank in Long Island Sound off
City Island after vain attempts of her
crew to save her.
Mr.. Bailey, who valued the yacht at
100000, said insurance carried on her
was not sufficient to cover her COM
plete loss. !
When the fire was discovered the
owner and crew we're aboard the YES
sell which had put in here eight days
ago to be overhauled after world
cruise. Attempts to check the blaze by
fire extinguishers were unavailing and
those aboard took to the boats, where
they watched the yacht burn to the
waters edge.
A fire alarm brought fireboat to the
scene an hour and half after the
blaze started, too late to save the boat.
The Abacena, a reconditioned fish
ing schooner equipped with a Diesel
Engine, was being put in readiness to
ptart again on a round-the-world
Voyage.

APPEAL IS MADE
FOR RECATTAFUND
Committee to Push Drive to
Meet Expenses of Presi-
dents Cup Program.

Expressing regret that thus far solicit
tation of subscriptions toward the $l0,-
900 estimated to be necessary to defray
the expenses of the Presidents Cup
regatta are thus far tagging behind,
the general regatta committee today
expressed the opinion that every effort
must be made to insure the success of
the regatta drive.
I'VE can no longer linger behind in
this SO essential matter" Commodore
Conrad C. Smith, leader of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Power Boat Asso-
citation, declared.
Commodore Smith is chairman of the
general regatta committee. AS such
he declared today that every effort
must be exerted to establish the fullest
measure Of cooperation among those
who will compete in the regatta and
those who will lend their support by
participating merely as spectators.
This regatta said Commodore
Smith, "has been placed before the
entire city. Its appeal to the Capital
as a civic proposition has oeen
thoroughly gone into. We can not
understand why the campaign for
funds should be dilatory. We therefore
appeal to each and every citizen to
comply with our request for funds"

Eighty-one line officers of the Navy
have resigned since the first Of the
year-more than for the entire IL
months preceding. During the same
period So Army officers resigned. The
total loss In the number Of Navy off1cers
for 1928, including so line offlcers for
physical disability. "a who died and
who were dismissed, exceeds the 1929
graduating class at Annapolis.
A letter which has been sent out by
Rear Admiral r. H. Leigh, chief of the
Bureau of Navigation, is addressed to all
ships and stations. AS far as possible,
without prying into their private affairs,
the letter requests all officers who are in
tending to leave the service to state
whether it is because of inadequate pay,
the chances of promotion poor, the de-
privation of home life too arduouS, or
whether 1t is because commercial pur-
suits are more lucrative.
The answer to all these questions is
an emphatic YES" according to Comdr.
Wilkinson and other naval officers.
From dozens of cases cited by these
men, the outlook for the Navy is
serious, according to Rear Admiral
Leigh, unless Congress rectifieS matters.
All six services are suffering, the Army,
the Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Coast
and Geodetic Survey and Public Health
Service. as well as the Navy. But be-
cause of their absence at sea so much
of the year. Navy officers have a bit
the worst Of it.
Living Standard Higher.
Were not asking for more money
because the baby needs new shoes"
said Comdr. Wilkinson, though that
is the case often enough. But we are
asking for salaries commensurate with
the responsibilities of the job and at
least approaching those which men of
similar education and caliber can make
in civilian life.
1T is not only that the cost of living
has risen since 1908, according to the
statistics Of the Department Of Labor,
but the standards of living have risen
An automobile, for instance, Is prac-
tically necessity not only for our
families, but for our own efficiency
when on shore duty.
Many people considered that Con-
greSs had rectified matters in 1922.
But the readjuStment then was with
the proviso that the budget should not
be increased. Consequently, while there
was IL per cent increase for naval
officers with dependents, the money
was taken from the salaries Of other
officers to make up the difference"
The present schedule for the Army,
showing the comparison of the total
amounts of pay and allowances BY
officers of the several grades, com uted
under the various schedules, with aver
age conditions of length Of service in
each grade, indicates the pay rate Of

order to make their salaries approx
mate what they can earn in civilian life
and to bring the service to its maximum
efficiency An increase Of 80 per cent is
recommended for enlisted men. q survey
of whose pay is also included in the
report.
A per diem allowance of 81 a day is
suggested in order to reimburse Officers
travelling on duty.
Recommendations Of Principles.
In making its recommendations the
board laid down the following state
ment of principles upon which it be-
lieves all legislation regarding the six
services should be based in so far as
possible:
a.7Rental and subsistence allowances
should be consolidated with pay into a
single item designated as pay"
b. Pay should be based fundamentally
on the responsibilities inherent in the
grade held and on the normal service
to be expected of an oficer holding such
grade.
c. A base pay should be established
for each grade with increments for
length of service therein.
d. When Government quarters are
furnished an officer a rental value
e. No officer should receive more pay
than any other senior to him.
+. Pay should be adequate, based on
the current purchasing value OF the
dollar. to enable an oflcer at all times
to give his best thought to the service
rather then to problems OF existence.
Stress Dignity of Posts.
q. The pay Of officers Of higher grades
should be commensurate with the dig
nity and responsibility Of their position,
and should be comparable to the re-
Enumeration Of successful career In
civil life.
tired list should be based upon the pay
Of persons Of like grade on the active
list.
i. Retired personnel on active duty
should receive the pay they would re-
ceive II on the active list.
i. Travel allowances should be regu-
lated so as to reimburse the of1cer, as
eouitably as possible, for the didere.as
classes Of travel performed.
K. The pay OF warrant ofncerS ana
commissioned warrant ofncerS, appoint
ed after years Of enlisted service and
whose further promotion Is restricted,
should be determined without regard to
that of commissioned officers.
l. Pay Of nurses should be based on
the remuneration for similar service in
civil life, with retirement provided for
physical disability incurred in line OF
duty as well as for length Of service.
m. Pay Of enlisted men should be
based on length Of service and the ma
ture Of duties prescribed for the grade
or rating In which serving.
n. To avoid confusion and multi
plicity Of decisions, the laws governing
pay should be drawn in explicit Ian
guage and should provide for q simple
system Of administration.
The foregoing principles are not in
tended to affect the right Of officers
regardless of rank to receive special
compensation while performing duty In
volving extra hazard as determined by
the Congress.
