Heroic Flier with Rescued Man, Given Great Ova-

EAGLES ENTERTAIN
 CANADIAN AIRMAN
Visitor Accorded Honors by City Only Due to
 Great Celebrity
Special to The Empire)

SKAGWAY, Alaska Jan. 12.- With feelings of sincere gratitude and admiration, the citizens of Skagway last evening accorded the Canadian air pilot, Everett L. Was son, the greatest ovation it was possible to confer upon any visiting celebrity since the occasion of the visit of Warren G. Harding's in 1923.
 The reception was sponsored by Aerie No. 25, Fraternal Order of Eagles, and much commendation is due the members for the -suc- cess of a delightful evenings en- tertainment.
 The young unassuming pioneer pilot of the Canadian Airways de- livered a few remarks but all too modest in describing how he and his companion, Joe Walsh, at great personal risk, finally discovered in the frozen wastes of the .Liard River district the two surviving members of Capt. E. J. A. Burke's ill-fated flight in the Yukon Ter ritory.
 Bob Marten, one of the rescued party, was in attendance at the reception and very fittingly de- scribed Pilot Wasson as a Canad- ian hero, saving both him and his comrade Emil Kading from cer- tain death through starvation and exposure.
 Wasson and Marten are aboard the Princess North enroute to Van- couver and due in Juneau late this afternoon or early evening.

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., Jan. 12.-Nathan Straus, philanthropist and leader of American Jewry, died in his sleep as result of heart failure and high blood pressure in his apartment on Sunday. Had he lived to January 31, he would have been 83 years of age Death ended a coma in which he sank 24 hours before the end. He had been i'll for two weeks, but few knew of his condition.
 Help "The Other Fellow"
 Early in his youth, Nathan Straus made up his mind that as soon as he was able he would do all he could to help the other fellow"
 He was prompted to make that resolution because lack of money many times prevented him from satisfying his own hunger and to him hunger became the application of all suffering.
 In later life he was enabled to carry out the determination of his boyhood, it being said that he spent more than s2,500,000 in philanthro- pies, mostly in relieving the poor.
 The work which brought great est recognition to MT. Straus was the distribution to the children of New York of pasteurized milk, a system he originated and maintain ed at his own expense many years. His laboratories, distributing the milk at one cent a bottle, were credited with having saved the lives of thousands of babies in the metropolitan district.

NAVY DELAYS QUIZ
IN SHIP HARDNESS
Commander of Destroyer Du-
pont to Report on Failure
to Meet Hoover.

The hardness of the destroyer u. S. S.
Dupont in reaching the battleship u.
S. S. Arizona, to participate in a pro-
posed review before President Hoover
has failed to cause Navy Depart
ment inquiry.
Rear Admiral John Halligan, acting
chief of naval operations, said Sunday
night that no report concerning the
Dupont's failure to reach the Arizona
had come to the department, but re-
port from the destroyer's skipper is ex-
pected.
Arrive Five Hours Late.
The Dupont was to have arrived
alongside the Arizona, Porto Rico
bound, while the Chief Executive re-
viewed and inspected the crew of the
warship. The ceremonies were delayed
about an hour awaiting its arrival, then
conducted without the Dupont. She
Joined the Arizona five hours after her
scheduled rendezvous
Admiral Halligan said no report ex-
planning the Dupont's hardness had
reached him. Naturally, he said, the
incident would have to be explained,
but the initiative in seeking an ex-
PLANTATION would not be taken by the
department. The commander of the
Dupont. in the ordinary course of his
duties, would report To the commanding
officer Of the destroyer squadrons of the
scouting fleet, to which the Dupont be-
longs.
Up to Commander.
If that officer considered the explanG-
ton satisfactory, Halligan said, no
higher authority need act. The Navy
Department would not move unless the
incident was brought to its cognizance
by the destroyer squadrons' commander

WRONG FIGURES ON IDLE
ARE CHARGED TO CABINET
Connally Says Hoover and Aides
Misled Country Prior to
1880 Elections.

Charges that the administration
issued misleading unemployment fig-
ures pust before the 1880 congressional
elections were made today by Senator
Tom ConnalIy, Democrat, of Texas.
Secretary Lamont's estimate Of
100000 unemployed in January was
wrong, he argued, "or else the Pres
ident and his various secretaries en-
tirely misled the country as to the
trend of events"
Before the 1880 election, he said,
President Hoover and his cabinet officers
ISSUED statement after statement that
$500, 900 represented the maximum of
those out of work."
This statement was issued through
the Democratic National Committee.
