THREE SEWARD BOYS
 PROVED HEROES DURING
 REGENT LOCAL TRAGEDY

The heroism of three local boys in the accident which occurred at Lake Hartman Wednesday when Arlow Hagen lost his life, has just been revealed. The boys are Allen Guest, Lee Ray and Leonard John StOn.
 Arlow, a beginner in swimming, previous to the tragedy, had been swimming from the shore to the raft several times and on one of these occasions he became tired. It is then said that Arlow made an exclamation which drew the at tention of the other bathers and that when they observed him, he was threshing furiously in the wat CT and evidently had turned back toward shore.
 Seeing Arlow in distress, Allen Guest, who with Lee Ray was on the raft, jumped into the water and went to struggling ArloW's aid; Lee confined himself to an eff fort of moving the paddleless raft to a point where Arlow or Allen could reach it.
 Arlow, youth considerably lar ger than Allen, and fighting in sheer desperation, overpowered AL len and forced him under water when Allen attempted to get Ar low toward shore. It was only thru the utmost exertion that Allen was freed from Arlow's grip.
 By this time Lee Ray had given up his attempt to maneuver the raft where Allen or Arlow could reach it and he also dived into the water. Both Allen and Lee attempt ed to get him toward shore but Ar low disappeared from their sight in the murky waters and they were powerleSs to locate him.
 Leonard Johnson, meanwhile ran to get aid and secured R. c Ingram, who hastened to the lake and when he arrived there wadec out to the spot where Arlow van- ished. MT. Ingram touched the in- ert form with his feet and once located he was hastily taken from the water. Dr. A. D. Haverstock anC his assistant, Harold Sogn, were then present and did everything possible to resuscitate Arlow but to no avail.
 The heroism and cool-headed- | ness of the three local youths i to be commended. The impression that the raft was the cause of the youths drowning is wrong as ir this case it nearly took on the pro- portions of a lifebat.

 It was announced that William A. Gabrielson had been appointed as chief of police, succeeding Chas. Weeber, who was drafted as head of the department while the reor- ganization was under way.

Nearing the End of the Session.

With the controversial economy bill
out Of the way, Congress will make
rapid headway in clearing up the re-
naming appropriation bills before the
end of the fiscal year tomorrow night.
OF these there remains only the second
deficiency bill to be acted on by the
Senate. The Army and Navy, in
dependent Offices. Treasury-Post Office,
Agriculture State, Justice and Com
merce bills have been reposing in con-
ference to await the outcome of the
economy measure, appended as a rider
on the legislative supply bill. Today
and tomorrow will witness the adep-
ton, in quick succession, of the con-
ference reports.
The most uncertain piece of business
is the Wagner Garner relief bill, now
in conference. But the disposition of
the conferees on that measure is to
meet each other half way. The prob
lem of distributing the $500, 100000
loans to the States for direct relief of
suffering has apparently been solved by
combining the two methods proposed,
making a part of the money imme-
diately available to the States on the
basis of population and giving the
President authority to dispense the
balance on the basis of need. The
conferees have yet to iron out the diff
ferences between the Garner and Wag
ner bills on the public building pro-.
gram. condemned by the President as
pork" Certainly the Wagner bills
safeguarding provisions in connection
with that item are far preferable to those
of the Garner bill, and the chief diff
ator Wagner seems to be a point of
view regarding the financial soundneSs
of the borrowing feature at this time
and the actual employment that would
building activity. 1t seems probable,
however, that Senator Wagner's plan
has enough advocates in Congress to
assure incorporation of its major fea-
lures in the final form of the bill. That
agreement should be possible in time
to realize the hope Of leaders for ad-
journment by the end of this week or
the first of next.
The relief measure will constitute the
major effort by this Congress to relieve
distress and suffering. What it ac-
tuallv will accornnlish in this resnect
nobody knows. If there is any last
minute disarrangement of present plans
for adjournment, it will be due to the
relief measure No member of Con-
gress will be willing to go home until
it has been enacted

A Rnothlack's Fortune.

Decision by court at White Plains,
N. Y, for the appointment Of COM
mittee Of relatives to look after the
property of Pietro Ierardi revives mem
ory of an institution that has almost
passed in this country - has, indeed,
quite ceased in the larger centers of
population. That is the bootblack with
his box which serves as both a foot
rest and a carrier for his tools of trade.
Pietro Ierardi sailed for New York from
Italy fifty-two years ago with Just about
enough money to pay his passage and
with no job in prospect. With the little
cash that remained from his trsnsat-
lantic adventure he bought some boot
blscking supplies. fashioned box to
hold them and began a business career,
that is now ended through his mental
deterioration. which necessitates Gus
todians for his fortune OF nearly $780,
600. When Pietro set up in business
with a box. tin of backing, a dauber
and a brush the standard price Of a
shine was five cents. Profits were
small. 1t took a good many shoe shines
in the course of day to leave enough
to provide food and shelter. But there
was always a margin, and that margin
Pietro saved. After some years he heard
that a bootblack was wanted at the
Grand Central Station-it was not
then dignified by the name terminal"
He applied for and got the job. More
years passed and his savings fund grew
with increased patronage. Then came
an opportunity. He applied for a con-
ceSsion to.r a stand in the station
and secured it. More nickels came in
and more profits were put away. Then
Pietro began to invest shrewdly in real
estate, being always careful in his
choice and always paying cash. He
became a capitalist, untroubled by stock
fluctuations. Perhaps he has kept his
little bootblacking box which was the
corner stone of his fortune, and though
his mind is clouded he may recognize
it and cherish it to the end of his days.

I'm the Hill and Down.

For the sake Of the future historian
of American politics it is to be hoped
that a complete record has been kept
and will be available for research, OF
the maneuvers for the abrogation ot
the two-thirds rule at the Chicago Con-
vention now in session. The effort TO
displace this century-old fundamental
principle of candidate selection IN the
interest of Governor Roosevelt OF Ne"
York. the outstanding aspirsnt for the
nomination, has been marked by
series Of advances and retreats without
uaralIel In the records of these great
political meetings. The dnal outcome OF
the attack upon the two-thirds tradl-
ton is a retreat. The signal for aban-
donment of the assault was given py
the candidate himself, but the exact
terms OF that signal are yet to be made
clear. as there is still disputation over
the message from the Governor to his
campaign manager calling of the hght

This recommendation. of course. has
no binding effect upon the convention
of 1896. 1t is a question, indeed.
whether the convention Of 1895, II It
should adopt the majority rule, could
without furious fight do so in terms
to apply to the proceedings at that
time. And it is a further question
whether it could bind future conven-
tions by declaration in favor of ma
jority rule procedure.

has it emerged with a victorious ticket,
the first of this series, when victory
was possible only through Republican

In the minds of most Democrats the
two-thirds rule is liability. 1t breeds
dissension and factional strife. 1t does
not insure the nomination of win
nIng ticket-does not. in fact, insure
the nomination of the most efficient
or effective candidate. Perhaps the
definite recommendation which has
just been adopted at Chicago for its
abandonment after century of appli-
cation may lead to a change. Certainly
the lesson of this latest effort to change
it on the eve of the balloting is that
it is dangerous to try to stop buzz

Cheap Amusement Tax
Would Help, Not Hurt

To the Editor of The Star:
When Congress needs a friend so
sorely. it seems pity no one has ad-
vised the one painless method of rais-
ing a considerable revenue from a
source at present exempt.
A tax on bank checks is hard on
business, big business or little business;
discourages thrift and the free use of
banking facilities, with the inevitable
result for small means to dodge into
boarding for settling debts by cash pay
ments instead OF the more convenient
and intelligent checking system. But
in taxing amusements why the low
priced variety Is exempt is not easy
for poor man to appreciate Since
1 can afford only a l5-cent show, 1
should feel rather elated to blow in
5 cents more to help Uncle Sam get
out of the fix he is in. 1t appeals TO
my patriotism. Who would grumble at
a nickel for such a cause? Make it

Erskine Called Unfair
In His Bonus Article

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is unfair articles. such as the one
published in The Sunday Star by John
Erskine, that keep the so-cal,ed bonus
question an active one. Mr.. Erskine
should have started of honestly by
emitting his article The Bonus
Should Not Be Paid Now"
There is one way in which the sim
certify Of Erskine and his followers
may be tested. Just draw up petit
ton reading as follows:
ITO members of Congress and the
Senate:
we, the undersigned, believe that
during war time it is the patriotic
ever capacity they are placed by cir

tervices. both military and civilian.
We therefore petition Congress to
refuse to pass any bonus bill adding to
the compensation of veterans of the
late war, and further petition Congress
to pass legislation which will collect
refunds from us and from all citi-
Sens of all sums which we received in
salaries, dividends, etc, during the late
war in excess of $50 per month"

Of the above suggested legislation, then

not, he is just another fellow looking
at it In his own selfish way or, perhaps,
the way he is paid to look at it.
This letter is not meant as an argu-
ment either for or against the payment
OF the bonus. 1t is merely an express
sion of opinion to the effect that If it
we're not for Gen. Harbord's tin cup
speech and articles such as the one
referred to there would be no agitation
in favor of the bonus. If, On the other

Stars Editorial on
u. S. Employees Praised

To the Editor of The Star:
Your editorial in The Saturday Star
is a classic on the subject of Federal
employees.
1t is unbecoming Of grave and de-
liberate bodies to act hastily and rash
ly in matters affecting the livelihood
and destiny of employees The pro-
posed economy bill is a menace to in
dividuals and to families.
The married woman's provision is
absolutely beside the aim of economy
and it would not save / cent for the
Government. The jobs that women
hold, for the most part, are not jobs
that men would hold. Plans have been
made and lives have been adjusted
under the present practices, and it
would be demoraliZing and disastrous
to many happy and unified families
to have to give up their homes and
their standards. Marriage Is not step
that merits discrimination. The pro-
posal, on she whole, will save nothing
and it win simply add little more
misery to a panic-stricken people. The
provision should be stricken out.
The enforced retirement provision Is
equally wrong. Why should a penalty
be placed upon age? We all grow old
inyoluntarily and the handicaps OF age
deserve no positive acts to make them
more keen. It is unthinkable that the
Government would insist on saving a
few dollars at the expense of old
servants.
Neither lack of time nor expediency
should prevail over plain justice. No
bill should be passed with these out
Of date and unfair provisions. They
are out of place in q Government bill
and no emergency will excuse them.
The Star is 70 be congratulated on
It's honest and intelligent stand.

One Job to a Family
Is Urged as a Slogan
30 the Editor Of The star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Let "One Government Job to One
Family" be the slogan OF the Federal
Government.
OF course there will be opposition
from those whom it hits, not only nus
bands and wives, but also ether mem
bers Of the same home who are drawing
several salaries from the public Treas
ury. Perhaps, too, certain ORGANIZATIONS.
with more zeal than real knowledge, will
imagine discrimination against their
members and don their war paint.
But. honestly, how can democratic
government justify allowing one family
TO have two or more salaries from the
public Treasury and other just as worthy
families to starve because of no work
at all? Effort is made to raise the
public funds in an eQuable manner.
Shouldn't they be spent in as equable
way as possible, giving 1t back to the
greatest number of Americans, not q
few favored families?
The writer knows of one family, all
living together, the father OF which is
department chief. the two sons hold
ing high-salaried Government positions
and the daughter is District OF CO.
lumb.a public school teacher. Their
combined income from the Government
is over $4,000. This amount would
support 10 families.
Why should Congressman getting
$4,000 for part of years work employ
as their clerks and secretaries members
of their own families?
Why should officials in the District
of Columbia public schools who get
above $4,000 permit their wives TO draw
additional salaries?
Why should three sisters, living in
one home, draw three different Federal
salaries?
To excuse this condition on the ground
service" is the weakest of arguments, be-
cause three quarters of the Government
work is of so routine a character that
l2-year-old mentality could do 1t.
Another meaningless, recently often
repeated, term Is "outlawing marriage y
Wouldn't it be better to emphasize the
present disgraceful condition of out
laWing children"2 Find out how many
children the working wives under 40
years of age have produced and then
ask what is to be the future of the race.
And should the Federal and State
governments reorganiZe their personnel
in the interest of economy and unem-
ployment on the basis Of zone job to
one home" the following benefits would
cnSue:
l. More employment of the jobless.
2. Young wives would have oppor-
tunity for their first duty-the home
and children.
3. Public funds dispersed in more
equable manner.
4. The Government setting an ex-
ample of more democratic procedure.
