AGENT OF HERO FUND STUDIES LOCAE CASE
Work Here Expected to Result In Award of Carnegie Medal to Man Who Saved Two Lives.
Maurieo H. Floto, special agent of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, located in the Oliver building, Pittsburgh, Pa., arrived in Terre Haute "Wednesday morning to look into the case of Otis F. Hah. 2030 South Fourth street, a glass worker employed at the Root glass factory, who last spring saved two people from drowning in the Eel river near Bowling Green. rTbto will make a thorough investigation here and if his report is favorable to the commission, Hall will be reAvarded with a Carnegie hero medal.
It was largely through the untiring efforts of City Clerk George A. Moorhead that the commission was advised of Hall's act of bravery and Moorhead learned of the deed only through overhearing a conversation. The commission has been almost in constant communication with Moorhead since he first took up the matter and the coming of Floto is considered encouraging.
According to the story there was a camping party on the river in which there were four men, two women and a child. One of the men, Claude A. Jones, the two women, Mrs. Bectel and her daughter Mabel and her grandson were in the boat. The boy fell out of the boat and Jones jumped in the water to rescue him. Mrs. Jones became alarmed because Jones did not reappear on the surface with the boy, and she too went into the water. Hall was some fifty yards from the water when he heard cries of help. He ran to the river, jumped in and rescued the boy, taking him safely to the bank. He then went back after Mrs. Bectel and rescued her. His third trip was for the purpose of rescuing Jones, but the latter was drowned.

CCL GOETttALS IMS NECESSITY OF GUARD
Points Out Violations of United States Neutrality At' Points Near Panama Canal.
PANAMA, Dec. 16.—Cq-lonel Greorge Goethals has cabled to Secretary of War Garrison at Washington, setting forth his need' for torpedo boat destroyers in canal ports in order to preserve the neutrality of the canal zone. In his message Col. Goethals says he has no means of preventing the use of the canal or Panama ports as a means of communication, and that these ports apparently are being used to that end at the present time.
Speaking of the situation today Col. Goethals expressed the opinion that there was as much necessity for torpedo boat destroyers at canal ports as at any other American ports where they were stationed to prevent breaches of neutrality. He declared that, judging- from reports reaching him, it was evident that the vicinity of the isthmus was being used as a temporary base for the transfer of supplies and as a meane of communicat tion*
