AMPUTATION AT SEA SAVES LIFE OF ITALIA EXPLORER

RADIO BRINGS I DOCTOR TO AID SICKMPTAIN Mariano Gains After Leg Is Removed to Halt Gangrene. KRASSIN REACHES PORT Citta Di Milan o Receives Survivors; Sail Soon for Home. Bn United Press KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, July 19.—Seven survivors of the dirigible Italia disaster arrived here today aboard the icebreaker Krassin. All were relatively well. Capt. 'Adalberto Mariano, whose frozen leg had been amputated during the night, was the most seriously in. The seven survivors, reclaimed from death by the giant Russian rescue ship, were taken aboard the Italia’s supply ship Citta Di Milano, in which they are expected to leave for Italy. As they arrived, the eighth survivor of the crew of sixteen, Gen. Umberto Nobile, the Italia’s com'mander, was understood to be prepared to leave here secretly within a few days for Rome. Under a withering fire of criticism, Nobile may embark on a coal steamship for a secret destination, and then to Italy. Amputate Leg The Krassin Monday relayed word to the steamer Citta Di Milano that Mariano was in serious con-* dition. Gangrene had set in in the frozen leg after Mariano had oaen carried aboard the Krassin from a lonely ice floe near Foyn Isiand. At sea Wednesday the Krassin was met by the Italian relief vessel Braganza and the Citta Di Milano's doctor was placed aboard the Krassin. During the night he operated on the half-delirious Mariano, amputating the frozen leg. Later reports came that the Italian captain’s condition was satisfactory. When the Krassin met the Braganza the Soviet flier, Chukhnovsky, and the dog sled drivers under command of the explorer Noyes boarded the Braganza. It was expected that Chukhnovsky later would rejoin the Krassin to aid in the search for Roald Amundsen and his group of five, and the six men who floated away with the dirigible’s envelope after the crash May 25. Russia to Push Search Russia is determining to go ahead with the search for the twelve men now missing. Rescue leaders believe there is a change that these twelve men still are alive, probably In serious condition —waiting, for some sort of providential aid. As evidence of this it was reported that the ice breaker Maligin would proceed shortly to southern Spitzbergen and that her aviator, Babushkin, would make several flights in an attempt to find the Amundsen party. The noted explorer has been missing since June 18, when he and his five aids left Tromsoe, Norway, to search for the Nobile party. ______ ACTOR BAN ASSAILED Society Woman, Former Actress, Censures Playground for Snobbery.

“ a ND let this be a warning to l\. young married couples, don't be late for an appointment,” said Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter Wednesday afternoon as he assessed a fine of $1 and costs on Mrs. Anna McGraw, 420 E. Merrill St., for assault and battery cn her husband. The husband was late for an appointment with his wife at a downtown corner, and as he hurried up he noticed that she was angry. On second thought he believed it best to run in the other direction. He did. So did his wife. And then Mrs. McGraw “socked” him. A crowd collected and wanted to mob the husband, but he was rescued by a policeman." “MrA McGraw, why did you wish to strike your husband?” asked Judge Wetter. “Judge, I was just naturally provoked at him, that’s all,” affirmed the wife. They walked together to the clerk’s office, where the husband 1 smiled broadly as his wife paid the fine. DELAY EXCHANGE PICNIC Outing Put Off in Order to Hear Raymond Hitchcock.

ZIEOLER GIVES LAND TO COVER ATTICA DEBTS Signs Over Property to Make Up SoO.OOO for Loan Association. Acceptance of a mortgage on real estate owned by Charles Ziegler, State highway commissioner, to cover his indebtedness of approximately $50,000 to the Attica Building and Lean Association, of which he was president, tentatively was agreed to by the association’s directors in conference with Thomas D. Barr, deputy State bank commissioner, here Wednesday. Attempts at secrecy surrounding the meeting were a disappointment to Barr, who called the session, and j to A. L. Gutheil, chief clerk of the ! building and loan division of the j State banking department, who j plainly was perturbed that word of! the meeting had "leaked out.” Bank Closed in April The Farmers-Merchants State | Bank of Attica, of which Ziegler was president, was closed by the State banking department in April. | Frozen assets were blamed. Because j management of the bank and of the j building and loan association were j interlocked closely, the bank’s fail- | ure was reflected in the association’s i financial status. Upon reorganization, stockholders of the association voluntarily consented to a 15 per cent sacrifice. Old officers were displaced; George Williams made president; W. W. Haworth, secretary, and W. B. Reed treasurer. Dan R. Young, Attica farmer whose father had been one of the principal stockholders and a director in the Farmers-Merchants bank, was appointed receiver. Depositors' losses are expected to approximate 20 per cent. Depositors Blame Ziegler Attica depositors roundly criticised ! Ziegler for his management and have held the opinion the State banking department should have closed the bank sooner. Association directors came to Barr's office determined to retrieve as much of the 15 per cent loss as possible. Ziegler's home and personal property alone are outside the mortgage submitted to the directors. It covers, said C. W. Dice, Ziegler's attorney, farm lands in Warren County and in South Dakota, business property in Attica and real estate in Indianapolis and Wichita, Kas. Dice estimated the property to be worth from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO. Turns in Store Accounts Ziegler, said the attorney, already has turned in a $65,000 store at Lafayette, $6,000 in bills payable and $2,000 in cash to meet his joint indebtedness to the two firms of which he was head. Agreement has been reached by association directors to accept a mortage from J. Shannon Nave, who was director in both companies, covering his indebtedness. Mortgages from the two former officials will reduce the loss of building and loan association stockholders to 8 per cent or less, it is said.

Service Excuse for Living, Says Tammany Head at 99

__ ■—•— ^ —— WE:

John R. Voorheis . . . has no ambition to break records for longevity.

John Voorheis Spurns Rest, Has No Ambition for Longevity Record. BY lIORTENSE SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. July 17.—John R. Voorheis, Grand Sachem of Tammany, and president of the New York board of elections, will celebrate his ninety-ninth birthday this month, working at his desk from 9 until 4. Since he was a lad of 13, he has been working. A habit of 86 years formation is hard to break. “And why not?” he asks. “Why save myself? I have no ambition to break any record for longevity. The only excuse for living is service. So long as I am good for a day’s work, I will not retire.” Rides Subway to Work So every day he takes the subway from his home to the Municipal building, rides the elevator up to the office on the eighteetnh floor and is on the job as long as anyone in the office. His associates will tell you he is no mere title holder, but that he actually manages the voting machinery of New York and superintends personally all the details of his job. His face is lined, his white hair is thin. But he doesn't wear glasses: his shoulders are unbent, his hand steady, his eyes keen. A foxy necktie and pin and fastidiously polished shoes revealed a pride in his appearance. Voorheis feels no pride in his years. To him they are accidental. He has no fondness for reminiscence, he prefers to look forward. Faces Manhattan Skyline His windows look out upon the Woolworth tower, the new Transportation building, and that jagged skyline that is the pride of Manhattan. Voorheis loves that outlook, and the progress and the spirit of adventure it represents. He himself is a part of the spirit that made that skyline. •It was Voorheis himself who signed the deed of sale for the Old Tammany Hall on Union Square where he himself had built the stairways back in 1867.
