AUTOMOBILE PLuNGEs THROUGH DRAW.
Three Persons Are Drowned In chicago
River.

Chicago (SpeciaD. = Three persons
were drowned and two others narrowly
escaped a like fate, when an automo-
bile, in which the five were riding,
plunged into the Chicago River through
the open draw of the Rush street bridge.
Those drowned:
Jerome G. Kurtzman, Chicago, man.
ager for chemical company.
Mrs. Jerome G. Kurtzman.
w. A. Hartley, manager tor an au-
tomobile house.
The rescued:
w. II. Hoops, Jr., manager for an
automobile company,
Mrs. Jeremiah Runyon, New York
city.
Both Mrs. Runyon and Mr.. Hoops
were unconscious for half an hour after
being taken from the water, but are ex-
pected TO recover.
The accident occurred at the north
end of the bridge, where there is an up
ward slope of 200 feet towards the edge
of the draw. This slope is so steep that
it has not been thought necessary to
stretch chains across the roadway, as
is done at number of other bridges,
where the approach is on the level.
The occupants of the automobile which
dashed into the river were coming south
in Rush street, close behind another
machine. the chauffeur of which, seeing
that the draw was open. slackened speed,
and was coming to a stop about so feet
from the edge of the draw.
Hoops, who was driving the rear ma
chine, thinking to pass ahead, pulled
out to one side. Putting on extra
power, Hoops machine shot toward the
open draw at 20 miles an hour. When
close to the open draw, Hoops realized
his danger, and throwing all his weight
on the steering wheel, attempted to turn
the machine to the left The machine
was too close to the draw, however.
The automobile turned slightly and for
fracture of a second hung OIL the
brink. The tire of the front wheel ripped
off, the hub broke and the machine
dropped into the river, 80 feet below. As
the machine slipped along the edge OF
the draw the women in the automobile
screamed and all of the occupants rose
to their feet, but had no time in which
to make another move before they were
flung into the river, and after them
plunged the heavy machine.
Hoops and Mrs Runyon fell clear OF
the machine and were taken unconscious
from the river by sailors, who were on
wharf, near the bridge. Mrs. Run
Won was taken to the Lexington Hotel
in hysterical condition. Neither
Kurtzman, his wife, nor Hartley rose
to the surface, and it is thought that
they were pinned down by the machine.

was not altogether harmonious.
Ii is known that Brayton Ives and
Charles Stewart Smith, who were froiN
the outset of the controversy on the side
of the conservative element, protested
against some of the proceedings of the

against Mr.. Morton's election.
The new chairman, to further quote
Senator Depew, did not consent to take
office until he had received positive as
surances that he would have a free
hand as to measures and men,"
Mr.. Hyde "diyested" himself of the
majority control, but, as made clear in
his letter to the board, retains sub
stantial interest in the society.
All of the designations submitted to
the meeting are subject to the pleasure
of Chairman Morton, and none has yet
been accepted.
Just what action Mr.. Morton will
take as to these designations was not

tired with the belief that their executive
relations with the Equitable had ended.
