Just ! as the Army rnswered after the Johnstown flood, the Galveston dis-; aster, the San Francisco fire, the floods of Dayton and Pueblo, and in the recent West Virginia mine dis- orders, so_its men came to the res- cue when Washington needed help the most. It has been reported to me that the first acetylene torch and the gas to work it, the first jacks, picks and shovels, ‘were zll rushedl to the scene of suffering In Quartermaster Corps trucks by quartermaster men. It is abundant proof that our Army has its mission in peace as well as in war, and the nation can count on it in the future as it has in the past. I th-nk God that the regulars were as close at hand when they were so urgently needed in the nation’s capital.” Commended by Bandholts. Gen. Bandholts, commanding the district of Washington, has written a letter to Maj. Gen. H. L. Rogers, the quartermaster general, concerning the work of the Quartermaster Corps, in; which he says: “Every officer of your corps on duty with this command responded imme- dlately and effectively, and the serv- ices of all of them. as well as their personnel. is deserving of the highest praise. They worked untiringly dur- ing the thirty-six hours of relief work, and their prompt assistance was the direct cause for the saving of many lives. It must be to you a cause ef much gratification that all | of the members of your corps upheld in such a fine manner the traditions of the United States Army." Many Valuables Unclaimed. Much of the wearing apparel re- covered at the Sccne of the disaster and taken to police headquarters re- mains unclaimed, and numerous arti- catas- t which our; NASH BOY SLEEPS BESIDE SISTER WHILE IN THEATER RUINS 5 HOURS i N 1 HUBERT NASH. Twelve-year-old Hubert son of Mr. Nash, and Mrs. Franklin . ! Nash of 1601 P street, insisted on taking a nap while he lay buried | Saturday night beneath a huge piie of concrete and plaster in the i Knickerbocker Theater ruins. ile and his sister Mildred, twenty- three years old, both of whom are at Garfield Hospital, were pinned e cles of jewelry also are stiil in pos- sesston of the police. It is thought many of the claimants will visit police headquarters after the funerals of relatives have been held and when weather conditions have further im- proved, . Jeweiry and cash taken in charge by {the police amounted to about $30,000 in value, the cash amounting to about 1$1,500. The most valuable Jewelry taken from any individual was from iMrs. Jacob Urdong, 2312 20th street, its value being placed at $7.425. Mrs. Urdong and her husband were killed. Warren Helphenstine, Florence Courts, who spent two hours among the debris In the theater, called at police headquarters this morning to imake Inquiry about a valuable note {book he had lost. He escaped with la cut face. He was much pleased when ihe looked over a number of recover- ed_articles and found the book. Capt. L. H. Price, Army finance de- i partment, whose daurhter, Miss Hazel | Price, was one of the victims of the disaster, is_anxlous to recover a ring Ithat his daughter wore when she Iwent to the theater Saturday night. Miss Price's parents are extremely anxious to recover the piece of jew- elry because of its association with their daughter, and Capt. Price said he was willing to search the plle of debris In the theater bullding in an effort to regain possession of it. | MISS MILDRED NASH. | under the debris beside each other about five hours. Tiubert had persuaded his “hig sister” to take him to ths m.vic that night. Both sat in the bal- cony. About all either remembers of the crash was that they jumped somewhere and found thernselves pressed under great quantities of wreckage, in utter darkness, a few seconds later. The two were nearly ! suffocated by the time they were ' dug out. ; Hubert’s head was pinned in his sister's lap. He fell nsleep several times, only to be rudely jabbed by his sister, who feared that he was dying and wished to keep *im active. It was about 2 o'clock Sunday morning when workers broke a hole through the concretz and plaster with picks and pulled Miss Nash by her arm through the aper- | ture. She fought against being taken on a stretcher until she saw her little brother rescued. The twe were carried to the Christian Science Church and later sent to Garfield Hospital. where it was found their condition was not seri- ous. Hubert is suffering from bruises. Miss Nash has a badly swollen leg and other bruises, but no broken bones. A New York specialist examined her spine ves- terday, which was sprained from the pressure on her.l but no injuries were found. TO SING SONG OF MOURNING.
