FIVE BARELY SAVED IN POTOMAC RAPIDS Men Battered on Jagged Rocks, Dragged to Shore by Des- perate Efforts. EARLIER ATTEMPTS FAIL Four in Predicament Due to Trying to Rescue Other. Swept over the sharp rocks of the Totomac River dam which shunts water off into the Chesapeake and Ohio “anal near Sycamore Island, five men hattled against the strong currentand angerous rocky rapids for more than two hours yosterday afternoon be- fore they were finally rescued—bat- lered, cut, bleeding and sore—by the oint efforts, of the fire department d a huge crowd which had gathered A‘ witness their fight for life. The William Fred, cet northwe: rescued men were: Dr. T dentist, of 1424 K Ensign Anthony L. Danis_of the U S. Putnam: Nor- man Danis, his brother, of Pioncer Lodge, Conduit road; E.'L. Tarwater of Clarendon, Va., and E. C. Wood of Station A, Conduit road, Md. Dr. Fred in Red. Dr. Fred, the last to be rescued by the rope and life preserver which had dragzed to shore the four, was confined to his bed today inder the care of a physic was badly cut and bruised, from the current having battered him against the ccd rocks of the dam, and © had suffered so from shock, and erhaps from water on the lungs «nd stomach, it was thought, that he was painfuily ill most of the night. Keports from the other four were not available early this morning, but last night it was known they were suffering from cuts and bruises, and that Tarwater, especially, had suf- fered from shock Tarwater was the first man to go over the dam. He had been swim- ming nearby and becoming exhausted he was swept over and onto the rocks In efforts to reach him, Dr. Fred and E: took a rope out in a pitched the ©nd of a rope to him, which he seized and began dragging with all hi might. This upset Dr. Fred, and the naval officer, who had expected to be able to return to shore before be- xinning to pull on_the rope. The dentist hung onto his canoe for a while for support. but. this tak- ing too much of his strength, he was forced to abandon it and attempt 10 hold on to the rocks. Others Swept Over. The second rescue party went out, consisting of Norman Danis and Wood, but they also were swept over the dam. The fire and police departments were then called upon for help, and No. 5 engine company, from George- town, was dispatched to the scene. The first two men were being taken from the water when the firemen reached the scene with additional parapher- nalia The thrid and fourth rescue parties which went out into the river in canoes finally succeeded with the help of more ropes, life preservers nd_assistance from the shore, in ragging back all five of the ma- rooned men. In the last parties were John Nokes. Samuel Bass. W. H. Decker and Richard Lungenbell Rescue Seemed Hopeleas. The rescue of Dr. Fred, the last man, scemed almost to be hopeless for a time. With his wife watching from the shore and with those hold- ing the ropes saying “I don’t believe we shall be able to save him, It's too late for Dr. Fred,” the dentist battled with the current and held onto the rock while he vainly trled two or three times to grasp the life pre- server. When finally he scized the life preserver and was dragged over dam he sank out of sight, and those on shore, dragging frantically on the rope, feared he had lost his £rip. He had not, however, and came 1o the surface a short distance from the shore line A large crowd gathered and cheered heartily each time a life was saved. Several persons have been drowned or near the spot, by going over the dam in high waters. The floods this spring so damaged the dam that t has been turned into a pile of sharp and jagged rocks, with a pow- erful current flowing over.

Bis the Associated Pres NEW YORK, June 23.—Progressive Democracy will recover the American government from privilege and de- bauchery and set it again on the high road of moral standards, William G. McAdoo declared today in an address of greeting to delegates from nine western states, Hawaii and the Philip- pines, who came across the continent in two special trains. Facing the cheering delegations from a balcony in front of his up- town hotel, the candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination told them his enemies were spread- ing the word that after a few bal- lots they would turn away from him.

By the Associated Press HOYLAKE, gland, June 23— Jim Barnes of New York took an §1 today for the first eighteen holes of the thirty-six hole qualifying test for hte British open golf tournament. A field of 276 amateur and profes- slonal golfers started the qualifying test over two courses—one the Royal Liverpool here and the other at across the Mersey—in play of qualification for British open championship. With Wednesday for a rest day, the surviving eighty-odd contestants will on Thursday begin the two days’ Play of four rounds over the Royal Liverpool course which is to decide the open champion for this year. Arthur Havers, fresh from a suc- cesstul tour of the United States, will defend his title against a formidable field. which includes a long array of former champions. America is rep- resented by Walter Hagen, who won the title in 1922 and lost to Havers only by a stroke last year; Jim Barnes, Abe Espinosa, Gene Sarazen, American ~_professional champion; Macdonald Smith and Douglas Grant Hagen, Barnes and Espinosa played today at Liverpool links, the others at Formby. Barnes Must Improve. Barnes must do much better tomor- row in order to qualify. He was the first American to drive off playing round with George Duncan. Good weather conditions prevailed at the start. the sun shining at inter- vals through scudding clouds and a light wind whipping inland from the sea Johnny Farrell scratched. owing to boils on his hand. Abe Espinosa sprained an ankle while practicing, but indicated his Intention of pla; ng. Barnes experienced a little bit of everything in the way of trouble On the way out his iron play was so erratic that only his fine putting kept his card down to 40. On the way home he visited several bunkers and got a few tough lies. As a climax he missed holeing a two-foot putt on the bome green.” His card showed three sixes. It read: Out 56534436 4—40 In 54435456 5—41—81 Duncan did the eighteen in 78. At Hoy Lake at the end of the morning_ round Aubrey Boomer of St. Cloud, France, with a 74, had the best score. Cyril Tolley, ex-ama- teur champion, had a 7 and Roger Wethered, holder of the amateur title last year, a 78. Massy Leads Formby Courme. On the Formby course the end of the morning play found Arnaud Massy, the former French open champion, and E. C. Anderson of Seascale leading the field with 74s. James Ockenden, who toured Amer- ica recently with Arthur Havers, had an 80 and Douglas Grant, American resident of England, 81. This afternoon George Gadd of Roe- hampton did_a sensational round at Formby in 70, equaling the course record. Gadd got down to this figure mostly through fine putting. He holed a ten-yard putt for a 2 at the ninth and one of eight yards at the twelfth for another 2. Abe Mitchell, British veteran, play- ing his iron shots badly at times, took 78. Gene Sarazen shot a over the Formby course this afternoon. C. Wallis, England, also scored 75 and the Veteran James Brand 7. Sarazen's card was: Out L 54546344430 In .

HEALTH AGENTS! RAID _ NETS 13 VIOLATORS Fowler's Inspectors Visit Barbers, Confectioners and Saloons on Night Tour. SANITARY LAWS IGNORED LPrasecution Planned to Enforce Sterilization Statute. Health department inspectors Sat- urday night swooped down on 152 es- tablishments where haircuts, shaves, hot dogs, near beer, candy, ice cream and drugs are sold to the public, made their inspections and reported thire teen violators of sterilizing regula- tions, against whom court action will be taken, Dr. W. C. Fowler, health officer, announced today. There were fourteen inspectors. At 8 o'clock by prearrangement. they all entered drug stores, barber shops, confectioners’ establishments and simliar public sales places, so that none would be able to tip others off, as has been the case in the past Making cases, here and there, the inspectors hurried all over alloted territories and when they wiped their brows at 11 o'clock, and checked up on results, they found that the thir- teen violators were netted. Three violations were in barber shops. Ten were in drug stores, confectioners’ shops or near-bear places. Protection for Public. “I am convinced,” Dr. Fowler said, “that this is good preventive work against disease, and good protection for the public health. We will take the cases to court. We will continue throughout the summer to exercise the same close attention to shops of the description we inspected Saturday | night, and will work both night and day to make these shops live up to the regulations as closely as possi- ble." This work is aimed at seeing that the man getting a shave has sterilized appliances used on him; that the man getting a soda at a drug store drinks out of sterilized glasses, and that the beer mugs in near beer saloons have no germs lurking in them. GASOLINE TAX FUND UNDER RESTRICTION Use on Streets Except as Directed by Congress Not Permitted, Corporation Counsel's View. Corporation Counsel Francis Ste- phens has reported to the Commission- ers that money raised from the gaso- line tax cannot be used to improve or repave streets unless the said streets are designated explicitly by Congress. Corporation Counsel Stephens made the report to clear up any shred of doubt as to the provisions surround- ing the collection and expenditure of the two-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax. The funds could not be touched unless the streets to be repaved were designated by Congress, in the opin- fon of Mr. Stephens. In the appro priation bill for the fiscal year 1925 such provision is made by Congress, which names explicitly the list of streets to be improved. It is be- lieved, however, that during the next session of Congrese the Commission- ers will recommend that this restric- tion on the appropriation be lifted. Breaks World’s Record MARCUS W.

Lieut. Wead said today that Lieut Price relinquished the controls about 6:30 o'clock. As the ship did not carry a set of controls in the rear cockpit, it was necessary for Lieut Wead to climb into the front seat and little by little take over the rudder bar and the “stick. “Price,” ho said, “moved over to the left side and I placed my hands on two grasps, hunching down against the wind from the propeller. Then I threw a leg over into the front cockpit, putting my right foot on the rudder bar, after which I pulled my- self in. DPrice then reversed t maneuvers to get into the back seat Several hundred feet apove the water, in pitech darkness and no lights to guide them, formed the setting for this dangerous task. Tt again was repeated shortly before the gasoline pump broke and put an end to the record-breaking flight Officers in Good Trim. When the seaplane in tow reached the air station, officers there found the two pilots as fresh as at the time they started. They lamented the acci- dent in loudest terms, because they feared the ship, due for allocation with the fleet in a short time, would be taken away from the station be- fore favorable weather would give them another opportunity to go the limit. Several weeks ago. the CS-2, in com- | mand of the two officers, left the water after three unsuccessful at- tempts due to oversupply of fuel and injury to the propeller, but was forced down soon thereafter because of a burned-out bearing. The pilots since then had been waiting for favorable weather conditions. The pump was repaired today. and the plane was on the concrete “apron” at the air station ready to take the air. Records Are Official. val officials, however, emphasized that the specific purpose of the flight was not to break all existing records and establish new ones, but to deter- mine the maximum performance of the plane. A million-dollar contract for thirty-five of the CS type has just been let by the bureau of aeronautics, which is satisfied with the ability of the plane to perform successfully with the fleet, through tests already conducted. But while this plane was being flown to the limit of its endurance, official representatives of the Na- tional Aeronautic Association were brought on the scene to make the flight official, looking toward winning records for seaplanes, which in the past has been neglected. The records, it was sald, undoubtedly would be ap proved by the Federation Aeronau- tique International in Paris. WCAP AND WRC WILL BROADCAST SESSIONS Same System to be Followed as at G. 0. P.
