CRASH SOUGHT

BEJUCO, Panama, Sept. IA
Rescuers riding mule-back and
carrying hammocks penetrated the
jungle near here today in search
of the wreckage of a transport
plane of the Malek Line which
crashed yesterday with a report
ed death toll Of eight, including
two Americans.
They travelled with the hope
that three of the passengers may
be alive, possibly roaming, wound
ed and delirious, through the
jungle, infested by poisonous
snakes and insects and savage
animals.
The hope was based on reports
of Indian runners. who insisted
they found only five bodies in
the wreck last night.

Navy Yard Back Pay
Won by Lawyer

Fourteen hundred workers in
10 navy yards and naval stations
who will benefit by the bill to
pay overtime wages, due for
more than SO years, which was
put through during the closing
hours of the last session of Con-
gress, owe debt of gratitude to
one George Hiram Mann, Wall
Street attorney, who spent Is
years sponsoring this cause.
The act calls for the appro-
priation of $332,342.74, cor so
much thereof as may be neces-
sary," for the payment "in fulr
of the claims approved years ago
by the Court of Claims to en-
ployes Of 10 navy yards and ma
val stations who, between 1878
and 1882, agreed to work 10
hours a day when their working
day had been set at eight hours.

The veterans camp was only a
two-hours' run from Miami. There
were telephones, telegraph, radio
receivers-every device for notify
ing these soldiers to make ready
for evacuation. The radio-warned
natives, for example, fled the ap-

precaution, these veterans were

Mr.. Mann heard about this
claim in 1908 after he had served
as a Senate page, as a midship-
man at Annapolis, as a Coast
Guardsman, and as a lawyer.
Thinking it looked like easy
money, Mr.. Mann went after the
business. For over Is years, how.
ever, he championed the cause
in newspapers, on the street cor
nerS, over telephone and telegraph,
by letter, and paid advertisements.
Mr.. Mann estimates that the
campaign over a quarter of a cen
fury, cost him between $4,000 and
$4,000. A part of this outlay
however, he may get back, be-
cause of a provision in the bill for
the deduction for legal services of
10 per cent of all claims to be
paid.

Soak the Rich
Also Soaks the Poor

To the Editor of The Times:
The editorial OF Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst on "Disinfec.
ton for Parasites" merits much
attention.
Soak the rich, says President
Roosevelt. He has forgotten that
by this method, he is soaking the
very poor at the same time.
We have Federal tax on gas
and electric light. The poor
washwoman, working until 2 a.
m. to feed her starving children,
has to pay in addition to the
regular tax, another tax for the
Federal parasites. This is MIRA
charity.
Pleading with the relief bureau
to feed 1000 unemployed, starv'
ing families in this city last win
ter was hopeless They said they
had no money and said to come
back tomorrow, and again tomor-
row. Finally our churches had
to turn in to aid. Now. where
has all this appropriated money
gone?
MIRA has set up more bureaus
than the United States has ever
known. $780,.
This nation cannot go on this
this way. The millions of our
voters don't believe in one thing
in Roosevelt's legislation. He will
never be elected President again.
He has sidetracked every
promise in his platform. He was
to drive Hoover's money-changers
out of the temple. They are still
with us in Swarms. He was to
remember the Forgotten Man.
He certainly has-nailed him to
cross of promises.
This nation is wrecked and it
will take a lot of good honest
businessmen to set us back to
honest dealing.

First publication of Napoleon
letters promises a different, but
equally important, occasion for
readers. Already, because of the
international excitement caused
by the announcement of the dis
covery of the letters, the never
dying interest in Napoleon has
been accelerated.
More has been written about
Napoleon's marriage to his first
wife, the Empress Josephine, than
about the romance with Marie
Louise. because the material was
more readily available to histor-

brings a new story to the world.
