TRIED TO JUMP
INTO The RIVER.
YOUNG WOMAN CAUGHT AND DE-
TERED FROM SUICIDE.
Had Climbed Railing Of Steel Arch
Bridge When Pulled Back by a Pass
ing Pedestrian-Po liceman Escorted
Her to Home on Island-May Have
Tried Tt Before.

Dependent over some secret trouble,
well-dressed young woman attempted
to leap to her death from the steel
arch bridge early last evening, and was
prevented from carrying out her desire
only by the interference Of Frank B.
Ashley, Ill West Island avenue, and
Patrolman Neary, who happened along
at the time.
Ashley is employed in a downtown
business office and was returning home
from his work shortly after CLOCK.
1t was darker than usual and as he
neared the middle of the bridge he
saw someone ahead trying to climb up
on the railing. He FASTENED to see
what the trouble was and was Mortified
to see well-dressed young woman pre-
pared to leap from the bridge.
Springing to her side, he grasped her
by the arm and pulled her from the
railing. For several minutes he talked
with her, trying to persuade her to
90 home and forget her trouble, but
she declared that, altho she was pre-
vented from taking her own life that
time, she would try again as soon as
the opportunity presented itself.
Watched Bridge All Night.
AS he argued with her, the police,
man came along, and after he had
J
up, she agreed to 60 home and make
no more attempts on her life. The po-
iceman took her to her home on Mic
ollet island, and the bridge was closely
watched for the remainder Of the
night. The woman refused to give her
name to the officer, but told him that
she had had nothing but trouble for
several years and that life had few
charms for her. 49,.
It is Thought that this is the same
young woman who attempted to leap
from the bridge about a month ago
and was prevented by Patrolman Nc
troll wagon crossing the bridge when he
saw young woman climb up on the
railing. He jumped from the wagon
and caught her before she could leap
She was taken to her home, which was
also on the island. The descriptions OF
the two women are identical. Both
were of medium height, had dark hail
and were dressed in stylish dark clothes

Loss by Failure to Enforce Collec-

As result of failures to enforce the
law for the collection of taxes, the
state auditor is carrying a balance on
his books under the head of "unpaid
state taxes' Of $1,8S0,838.37.
In collecting taxes on real estate,
tax titles to land are eventually sold
if the original owner refuses to pay
his taxes. But in personal property,
If man does not pay his tax, it is
simply marked "unpaid" on the books
of every county and so forwarded to
the state auditor in total without any
effort to seize the property assessed to
enforce payment. The result is that
thousands Of personal property owners
never give the least attention to their
annual notices Of sonal-property
taxes due.
The financial statement of taxes for
the past fiscal year was today COM
pleted by Claudius Bomback of the
state auditors office, and shows total
debts, amounts that theoretically
should have been paid into the state
treasury, as follows:
