SUFFERN, N. Y, November 10.-In
his first public speech since the elec-
ton, former Gov. Alfred e. Smith last
night declared that donations to pri.
vate charities had decreased because
of Government expenditures and said
that overextension Of Federal char
liable activity would result in taxation
causing great distress"
If the Government takes too much
then private charity must suffer. un-
less the time comes when the Govern
ment takes over private charity In Its
entirety, but, thank God, we don't want
that to happen" Smith told an audi
ence of about l,50O at q benefit per-
Torrance held at q motion picture
theater here for the Good Samaritan
Hospital.
If the Government tried to handle
all charity, Smith said, the taxation
would be so high the Government
couldn't take care of it."
THE Government can't do the work
of the hospitals. If it tried, the tax
alton would be so great there would
be great distress" the former presi-
Dental candidate said.

17-Year-0Id Only Member

From the Isis.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 10 Fritz
Roethe, the plucky cabin boy who was
the sole survivor of 40 hands aboard
the foundered Hamburg-American
motorship Isis. gained strength and
the admiration Of seafarers today.
The crew Of the s. s. Westernland,
touched by the l7-year-old sailors
grim story. dubbed him "Mein Fritz" !"
The westernland, answering an
8 o 8 from the Isis, found one life
boat at the spot where q mad Atlantic
gale had dashed In the Isis matches
and sent it to the bottom about 200
miles OF Lands End, England.
Sole Occupant Of Boat.
Fritz, too numbed and exhausted to
speak, was the sole occupant OF the
boat which had been tossed for IL
hours on the storm-swept sea.
Wrapped in blankets and partly re-
covered, he told the Westernland' 5
commander how the storm struck the
Isis Sunday night, of the sinking ships
lurch which sent its crew sprawling
into the water and of his own struggle
to remain in the water filled bottom
of the lifeboat.
First, he SAID, the sea smashed In
the Isis No. 1 hatch and poured into
the vessel. The captain mustered his
crew on deck, he related, but hoped
the Isis could resist until a rescue ship
answered the s o S.
AT 3 p.m.," he went on, "a big
breaker came over the ship and ap-
parently bulkhead No. 2 gave way.
causing . heavy list to port with the
boat deck l foot above water. We
all held on for our lives
The captain shouted to the CHIEF
oficer to launch boat No. 2. Some
shipmates and I went to the boat
when-bang-another breaker struck
smashing the boat completely.
IT found myself in the water
saw the fore Of the ship completely
submerged i. The stern was almost
straight up Down it went, slowly
Calls for Help Died Away.
II was awfully scared. I saw my
mates spill OF into the water.
heard their calls for help which grad.
ually died away until only the gals
roared =. Then all was black and
lonely.
Il saw an upturned boat and made
for 1t >. I found another mate
clinging to 1t. Another breaker turnet
the boat right side up and I wa,
able to scramble into it Til,
others hand loosened and he wa.
swept out of sight ..
Hours and hours it seemed helt
on. Up and down the waves tossed
me. Then saw = ship. I waved {
hand and the next thing I remember
I found myself in the Westernland'l
hospital"
