He aaserU positively that the men at Klnnakeet station could have Been the boat?*.hat he. himself, could see It wlttout the aid of j field glasses. Thus far. no statement of any : kind regarding the Incident has been received from he accused Coast Guardsmen. Tlelr side of i the controversy has not been heard, and probably wll not be until after Superintended Price returns from his trip to tie Hat-l teras Banks. H? expects to be| back the latter part of next week.l he says. Captain Stowe s statement As filed at Const Guard headquarters here follows. In full: "I vu asked some questions about It and 1 told them what I thought about It. Of course, my son wanted to come home like other boys and started In this boat with another fellow. His feed pipe stopped up on him and ho had trouble with his carburetor. He didn't know what was the mat ter with It. I wasn't looking for him as I had a-telegram from hlin saying not to look for him If th* weather was bad but It was so pretty Saturday that he decided to start. He only had on low shoes, thin socka and summer un derwear. He took hla overcoat with him. He was not thinking ?bout these things happening. |fini?Ily they stopped not far from F1he reef light. The other fellow ? looked In the tank and said they 'didn't have but about 2 Vfc Inches of gasoline. It Is a narrow place down there snd not everybody can fcet in In the day tlpie let alone at night. The light* were out; If was around six o'clock In the ev ening and getting dark this tlm* of year. So they thought they would go around and run her In the other aide of the Cape Reef and let her lay there. He didn't have enough an chor or cable to hold her. "It started to blow and frreje and the next morning they could not get out. "They got their colors up Hun day morning. They had a long after-light pole and they had a boat hook about fi or 7 feet long and they lashed them together. They had two sets of colors; bath ing suits doubled. You could see them a long way.

They had some: five gallon cylinder oil cans and they burn? d lights In them; they set them on Th* forward deck; , they wenl up about ten feet In the air Of course they could be seen a 'ion* ways They did every- j thing a man-of-war could do, on a small scale, of course.

Conn was an enthusiastic cor- ; netlst, and when his upper lip was | diaflgured so that he could no I longer play his instrument, he ex-j perlmented in his little rubber stamp factory here until he per- , fected a rubber mouthpiece by < which he could blow It. Other musiciana noted It and asked him Jo make them similar mouth pieces. In 1873, he turned his whole attention to that. Three years later a French horn-maker. Eugene Dupont.

The national House of liepresenta fives, RUppoKi'dlv Impetuous. hot . headed, Irresponsible and "close to the unthinking people" hat* he coni** the conservative. cool-mind ed. responsible and conservative branch of the Congress of the I'nlted States. The Sonate. "*reat est deliberative body in all the world," is running wild on the basen. The House is "keeping cooi with Cool Id Re." The Senate in harum scarum. ready to rattle off on a will-o'-the-wisp chuse at a moment's notice and alow to come 1 back to anything approaching 1 normalcy. The House sots for li seir a definite program and ad heres to it. The Senat?* sets an indefinite program and runs away from it on every possible occa sion. The House is sitting on the Washington lid. The Senate is trying to boil over. It has actually been going on for years, this transformation on Capitol Hill but no one has paid much attention to It. The Senate lias been acting up almost contin uously. but every one has felt It would he a different next session. Hut with each succeeding session the Senate appears to get more and more out of hand. Leader ship in the hody is an all but fu tile thing. Suggestion of n revision of the rules brings virtually every Sena tor to his feet with a shout of "no." This shout has been loud enough this session to knock vice President Dawes out of most^ of his afternoon naps. The Vice President was shouting at the Senate all during last summer and fall The Senate Is getting even with hltn today. The Vice Presl dentdent has been caught up In the "system" and a threat has Just been made and undoubtedly will he enrried out ?to use that system to the utmost in a degper nte attempt to prevent the Senat" from voting on the resolution which would give American ad herence to the World Court of Justice. Some seven or eight of the "wilfuls" of the Senate got to gether last week and agreed to take advantage of every loose Sen ate rule to postpone and delay In definitely action on the court. This step Is taken as a means of "edu eating" the people who apparent ly want the court but are too "be nighted" In the view of the sur vtvors of the "battalion of death, to know anything about it. They must be told the terrors and pit falls that await them. The orderly House of Represen tatives Is going to have loads of Idle time on Its hands while th? disorderly Senate Is threshing thlnss out In his own peculiar and Inimitable style. In a little while you will hear of the House taklnn long adjournments, wsltlng for the Senate to talk Itaelf out?If such a thing be possible, which no one believes It Is. In an> event there has been no evident'' of any such weakness on the part of the Senate In the past Jew years. . .. ? There Is every Indication that the Senate Is going on another in vestigation spree The Inquiry into the "aluminum trust Is just ? beginning. The Senate did vote down the proposed Inquiry Into the "propaganda" for American adherence to the World Court and settlement of the war debt*. but that denial merely has whetted the appetites of some of the Sena tors for further probes. At this time two years ago tho Senate's Inquiry system In full swing; Its committees In full cry. Then csme a lull Now It would .seem thst the open season for Inveatlssti<>ns once more Is on and many additional ones may be expected. * The House tries every now and then to stir up an Inves tigation of Its own. or to "horn In" on one of the Senate's, but generally some one sits on the proposition and the House Is heard of no more. Virtually all that Is done In Washlnxton these days revolves around the Senate. Already It regards Itself ss both executive and legislative. Soon an Im peachment proceeding will give 1? n Judicial sir ss well. The rest of the government msy as well pass by |.AN<il<t*.Y DKMKIl APPF.AI. Washington, Jan. 11.? Hepr * sentatlvr John W.
