 EICHEL DEATH OVER

An investigation into the death of Eric Eichel, 54-year old Juneau painter who was found dead last Friday evening, gave no evidence of foul play.
 The disorder of the Starr Hill cabin, which led officials to suspect violence had occurred, was caused by the fact that Eichel suffered delirium tremens before his death, according to Commissioner Felix Gray.
 Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Kathryn Eichel of Coquille, Oregon, and sister, Mrs. Charlotte Fisher of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
 The remains are at the Carter Mcrtuary, pending funeral arrange ments.

TODAY and TOMORROW
By WALTER LIPPMANN

never entered his head that some
one who was not running for Of
flee, who had not been elected to
office, who had never walked the
floor at night worrying over its re-
sponsibilities, could be his con-
science, his brain and his voice.
He would have said, I am sure,
that the man who could do that
for him ought to be the Governor
OF New York For public rela-
tions'' is another name for politi-
cal leadership, the one function of
a chief executive that it is impos-
sible to delegate.
AL Smiths speeches were pre-
pared in conversations wi h his
kitchen cabinet, and by cross-ex-
amining those who had expert
knowledge. But no gnost wrote his
speech. When he had gotten all
the advice and the suggestions he
wanted, he jotted down on an en-
velope the points he wished to COW
er, and then he went out before
the audience and made, not read,
a speech. No one can do that who
is not so full Of his subject that
he has more to say than he as
time to say, and is so sure Of his
knowledge that he is not afraid Of
making boners. But the effect was
convincing in a way that no speech
can be which the audience feels
intuitively was written by some
one who may have known more
about the subject than the man
who is reading 1t.
I do not suppose that this con-
veys much to those who did not
know Al Smith when he was at
the peak of his powers. For it is
not easy to put into words a quail
ity so indefinable, yet so over
whelmingly impressive when you
meet it. as his luminous gift Of
mind and heart for making gov
eminent altogether sincere in its
contact with the people.

Switch In u. S.
Riuer Control

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 11.-LP1
Sen. Overton D-La) predicted here
today that an attemp would be
made in Congress to switch con-
troll of the rivers Of the nation
from federal to state supervision
and said that every effort should
be made to deeat it.
Overton was here to preside to-
morrow over the Mississippi Val
ley Flood Control association Of
which he had been president since
1886.
IT understand that an effort will
be made under the O'Mahoney-Mil-
ljken amendment to substitute
control of our great inland water
ways" Overton said in a state
ment.
"Such an innovation would be a
radical and disastrous departure
from the uniform policy of the con-
gress.''
Overton, chairman of the Senate
subcommittee on flood control, riv-
crs and harbors, said he was anx-
ious to have both the House flood
control and rivers and harbors bills
brought up in the Senate as early
as possible after Congress recon-
venes Nov. IA.
Among others here to attend the
meeting were Maj. Gen. Eugene
G. Reybold, chief of Army engi-
neer and head of the Mississippi
River commission.
General Reybold said that pro-
jects which the engineers now have
under way. plus those suggested in
the two bills pending before Con-
gress, would aggregate $4,500.0O0
and would bring many benefits to
the south.

FEW Americans realize that
Christmas is the most hazardous,
as we'll as the happieSt, holiday
of the year. On this most sentimental
day thousands of homes and apart
ments are carelessly and unwittingly
converted into dangerous fire traps.
Time and again the trap is sprung

spirit of peace and good will
The Safety Research Institute, Inc,
has made a list of urgent and i'm
portant ChriStmas-time "don'ts" for
homemakers who may forget the
ever-present menace of the Red God
of Fire. Here they are:
Don't put Christmas trees
near fireplace or opcn-llame heater.
Don't use strings of electric
lights that have frayed, or broken
wires that might throw off sparks.
3-Don't use candles 10 decorate
the tree.
4.-Don't leave paper wrappings
or excelsior around the tree after
presents have been opened.
5-Don't be careless with cigars,
cigarettes and pipes near the tree
or piles of paper.
6.-Don't hang stockings where
they can be ignited from the fire
place.
Don't be careless with cleo
trical toys that may throw off
sparks.
8.-Don't forget TO keep bucket
of water, a pail of sand-or, better,
a good, modern, hand fire extin-
guisher - ready for emergencies.
Insurance companies and fire
fighting officials have issued many
such warnings, but millions of us pay
little attention TO their words. They
have pointed out that the nations fire
losses for the year 1913 totaled $780,
