Burns 10 Death in
Summer Home
Capt. Jacob StuIz's Body
Found in Embers at
Beverly Beach

Capt. Jacob Stulz. Sc. had COM
manded for nearly IS years the
forces that fight District fires from
the water. Today he was dead-his
life lost in battling a fire from the
land.
Capt. Stulz was burned to death
in a fire that leveled his summer
home at Beverly Beach, Anne Arun-
del County, Md. yesterday. An in
quest will be held tonight at Gales

The veteran firefghter. who had
been commander of the District fire.
boat since 1905, was working around
the home alone yesterday when the
flre broke out. Investigators con-
cluded that he had rushed into the
blazing house in an effort to fight
the fire and had been trapped.
When volunteer firemen arrived
they found the place a mass of
flames. Capt. Stulz was nowhere
to be seen. 1t was necessary to run
hose lines 400 feet from the Chesa-
peake Bay and by the time the lines
were rugged the fire was out of con-
troll.
The flreman's body was found in
the embers and was sent to WASH
ington for burial.
Capt. Stulz's place. which he built
himself. was two-storv house and
was one of the show places of the
resort.
Capt. Stulz joined the Fire De-
partment here in 1897 and was made
captain in charge of the fireboat
eight years later. He has COM
manded the water force since and
has participated in the fights against
all the spectacular water front
blazes.
His wife, Marie A. Stulz; his
daughter, Mrs. Richard Oden, and
two grandchildren, Richard and
Joan. survive. His home was at 4O7
Seward square Sc.
Prlvates Ernest Winters and Dewey
w. Neil of the firefghter, went to
the scene of the tragedy in an effort
to give assistance to the family.

testimony, was crossing from the

by a coal truck proceeding north on

avoid striking her. He also said
that the victim was holding onto
her hat with her hand to avoid
losing it in the wind and he doubted
that she saw him. A comb, accord

BATON ROUGE, La, July 8.
Two officers of the law in
Louisiana today are making final
preparations to bring Prof. James
Monroe Smith back to his home
state to face charges of embezzle-
ment of University funds. The
officers arrived in Brockville,
Ontario, today and prepared to
bring the doctor and his wife
back for prosecution.
The trip to Brockville was
made in a giant plane owned by
the University, and the Smiths
will be brought back aboard the
same plane, expected to arrive in
Baton Rouge tonight.
Thus will start the first move
in statewide investigation into
graft brought to light by the
resignation last week of Smith
from the presidency of the State
University and the resignation of
Governor Leche two days later.

the late Huey ''Kingfish' Long.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Coopera-
ton was offered Secretary of In
terror Harold L. Ickes in the fol-
lowing resolution adopted by, the
Sponge Institute in New York
City:
THE Sponge Institute in meet
ing assembled in New York City
on June %, 1899, extends to you
as the Secretary of the Interior
Department, its fullet cooperation
when the transfer of the Bureau
OF Fisheries to your department
shall have been effected and
solicits your interest and help
fulness in this branch of the COM
mercial fisheries.
1T invites your attention to the
fact that the sponge fisheries of
Florida bring in new wealth to
that state of about one and half
million dollars annually, that this
stock is supplemented by imports
for consumption of about $780,
600 of sponges annually, making
this nation the greatest consumer
of natural sponges.
1T further invites your atten-
ton to the critical situation with
which we are confronted, brought
on by the recent almost complete
destruction of the sponge beds in
the Bahamas and in our own Key
West area, resulting in loss of me-
ployment of considerable num-
Der of local fishermen and pack
ers. and the need for further sex-
Fermentation to show the prae-
ticability of commercial sponge
farming to supplement diminish
ing natural stocks and to stabilize
the industry. We hope, also, that
you will give thoughtful consid-
Grafton to certain proposed relief
measures to those thrown out of
employment by the recent devas-
tation of the sponge beds, which
we understand are being submit
ted BY the U. S. Bureau of Fish
cries. So

with several hundred delegates
from all sections of the state,
while her political contingent
was on par with those of most
other states. Highlights of the
opening day that linger in my
fevered memory are: Polly
Rose tramping down the aisle
with flag; Burton Schoepf and
Jerry Carter working themselves
into a foam as members of the
Resolution Committee Raymond
and Mrs. Sheldon roaming around
the hotel lobby without a gun:
John S. Burks; Mrs. Schoepf
palling around with Mrs. Town
send; Ross Allen showing movies
to the old folks: pretty girls pass
ing Florida 1910 ribbons and
badges; Tom Girdler checkin' 'em
in; Pat Cannon taking bow;
George Scofield, just among 'em
Iookin' the situation over; and
many others.
The convention was Hot
one in more respects than one.
The Indiana sun burned down all
foor days, and the delegates were
wrapped up in a blanket of hui
Nudity which made breathing .
labor of the first magnitude. Be
lieve me, it will be a pleasure for
US Floridians to get back to our
good old "air conditioned" Flor
ida.
The temperature those strep-
tococcus germs gave me was
nothing much compared to the
temperature given to the con-
vention by a few insurgents who
wanted to throw the Doctor out
on his ear and take over control.
The revolters issued a statement
eondemning the seizure" by DR..
Townsend and his son, Robert, of
perpetual control of the cause
and threatening the formation Of
IAN independent" old age PEN
sion organization. The regulars
answered this threat by adopt
ing resolution providing for the
assumption of leadership by son
Robert in the event DIR. Town
send should for any reason be
unable to serve.
At the close of the meeting H.
900 men and women returned to
their homes in every part of the
nation These folks are filled
with a fervent desire to make
new converts to their creed. In
their homes will be millions OF
folks waiting for their reports
and ready to respond with action.
Those politicians who have used
the movement" for bandwagon
upon which to ride into office are
/ in for hot time themselves when
they come up for reelection. AT
the same time the faithful will
receive their reward-and that
includes the entire Florida Con-
gressional delegation: Repre-
sentatives Cannon, Green. Hen
bricks and Peterson in the House
and Senators Pepper and An
drewS in the Senate.
