CAUGHT IN A LINE
Ray Paisley Entangled In Trot
Line.
Held Under the Water and Is
Drowned.
HIS BODY is FOUND.
Brought to Surface by Diver
Today.
Sad End of a Bright Young
Man.

Raw Paisley. a young man employed
in the Santa Fee offices. was drowned
while bathing in the kaw river at the
foot of Van Buren, street at o'clock
Sunday evening The body was recov-
cred this morning at 8:45 by diver.
Paisley, who was 20 years of age, Dor
rowed bathing suit of the engineer or
the sand dipper and went to the spring
board set in the bank about so yards
above the power house. He did not re-
turn for his clothes, which he left at the
power house, and the engineer went to
look for him. Failing to find him along
the river bank, he at once notified the
police and the parents. of the young
man who live at 613 West First avenue.
No one had seen Paisley drown. The
last time he was seen alive was by some
other boys who came out of the water
just as he went in. They say that he
seemed cautious. and kept close to the
bank.
His father. Mr.. A. A. Paisley. organ
lied a search for the body of his son.
which was unsuccessful. There was no
clue left as to the possible location. as
no one was present when he was drown
ed.
This morning the search was resumed.
A wagon load of policemen headed by
Chief Donovan assisted in the search.
armed with graphing hooks and poles
Chief Donovan has assisted in taking a
number of bodies from the river and
has great faith in the ability of divers
to find a body if stimulated by a re-
ward. In this way he has been instru-
m entail in the recovery of many bodies,
offering a reward from his own pocket.
This morning, after the officers had fail
ed to find the boy, he announced that
he would give 81 toward a suitable re-
ward for the diver who would find the
body. Mr.. Paisley then stated that he
would add SO to the amount, and a
young negro named L. w. Jackson, who
lives at 1850 Chase street, went into the
water and in a few minutes located the
body only few feet from the bank
and in a spot indicated by the chief
who had noticed the bend of the current
which left kind of pocket at that
spot. Considerable effort was necessary
to bring the body to the surface owing
to the fact that one ankle was fastened
to a snag on the bottom by means OF
a cord, probably a trot-line left by
some fisherman. 1t was the entangle
ment with this line that kept the young
man under water, and in all probability
he could have been saved had anyone
been near when the accident occurred
A wound in the face showed that Ser
geant Jenkins while searching the spot
with q graphing hook had caught the
body without knowing 1t. The water
was about nine feet deep at that spot
DeMoss & Penwells ambulance was
called to take charge of the remains.
The boys parents are heartbrokel
over the loss of their son, who was a
promising young man of good habits
and holding a good position. Arrange
ments for the funeral have not YET
been made.

DAY OF ATONEMENT IS
AT HAND FOR THE JEWS
Yom Kippur Will Be Observed as 1t
Was Thousands of Years
Ago.

When the hands of the clock work
their way around to the figure s Yom
Kippur will have begun. The Jewish
day of atonement will officially dawn
for those of the faith in st. Paul at
that hour. Thence it will be cele-
brated, with ceremony of centuries
usage, until $3.50 o'clock Saturday
evening. -.-% at.ai1 saaa
Among the Hebrews Yom Kippur is
a season of fasting and prayer, of for
giveness and personal reconciliation,
signalized by song and time honored
service.
AS it was celebrated ages before
Christianity was born, SO it will be OBJ
served today. In keeping with the
strides of modern advancement, and,
perhaps, the degeneration of idealism,
the reformed Jewish churches will
have services in English. The ortho-
dox Jews, however, will make no de-
parture from the old-line, solemn sys-
tenn which thousands of years have
not uprooted. In the former there will
be preaching morning and afternoon
tomorrow, with special atonement
services conducted by the various
rabbis in the interim. With the orr
thodox Jews, however, the day and the
occasion will be marked by observ-
ance of the same fervidity which has
held their kind in a compact nation,
despite the fact of their being without
a country.

Concern.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 9.-The
as to give great concern. 1t is feared
that Cuba is drifting away and evil
dence is multiplying day by day to
mark the growth of spirit of indif-
ference toward the, cultivation of
friendly commercial relations with the
United States that almost borders on
hostility. The best efforts of the state
department thus far have failed to Sc
cure the adhesion of the Cuban gov
eminent to the treaty which, by the
terms of the Platt amendment, must
be entered into between the two govS
ernments. The delay is all on one
side, namely, at Havana, for Secretary
Hay and the Cuban minister, Senior
QueSada, have performed their part in
drafting treatygWhich it is believed
carries out the intent of congress. That
treaty is now awaiting the approval OF
the Cuban government, which approval
is withheld, not with any expressed in
tention of rejecting the convention, but
through what is regarded here as the
natural inertia of atlle Cubans in diplo-
matte matters.
This treaty includes provisions for
considerable measure of reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Cuba;
and while it is true that the CubanS
believe that the United States has been
rather niggardly in the arrangement
of the reciprocity schedules, those OBJ
jections are not regarded as sufficient
to account for the great delay in con-
Guiding the treaty. It is believed that,
as Cuba is the principal sufferer from
the lack of treaty relation with the
United States, internal pressure soon
will force action ON the pending con-

Frank Kelly Claims Nomination fol
County Commissioner.

AS a result of the recent demand by
his opponent, Ambrose Tighe finds
himself just six votes better off than
the official figures gave him. The
count was finished about o'clock
yesterday afternoon and at the conclu-
sion Charles E. Hamilton, who brought
the contest, was compelled to acknowl-
edge his defeat. Mr.. Tighe's net gain
was six votes.
In the Kelly Schneider contest no ap
parent change has been made. Wednes-
day Kelly made a gain of one vote, but
this was offset yesterday, when
Schneider was credited with an addi-
tional vote. In two of the precincts
the ballots were found to be number
ed and as this is prohibited, Kelly will
make an effort to induce the court to
throw them out.

of one vote in the recount yes erday.
