LOADED AUTO PLUNGES into CHICAGO
RIVER AND THREE PEOPLE MEET DEATH

Chicago, June 12-Three people
were drowned and two others narrow
ly escaped a like fate Saturday night
when an automobile in which the five
were riding plunged into the open
draw of the Rush street bridge. The
dead are:
Jerome G. Kuurtzman, Chicago
manager for the Liquozone company.
Mrs. Jerome G. Kurtzman.
w. A. Hartley, manager for local
automobile establishment.
The rescued are w. H. Hoops, Jr..
local manager for an automobile COM
pany, and Mrs. Jeremiah Runyon of
New York city. Both Mrs. Runyon
and Mr.. Hoops were unconscious for
half an hour after being taken from
the water, but are expected to re-
cover.
The occupants of the automobile
which dashed into the river were
coming south on Rush street close be-
hind another machine, the chauffeur of
which, seeing the draw open, slack
ened speed and was coming to a stop
so feet from the draw, when Hoops,
who was driving the rear machine,
thinking to pass ahead, pulled out to
one side, and putting on extra power
he realized his danger and throwing

all his weight on the steering wheel,
attempted to turn the machine, and
by running along the edge Of the draw,
make a quick turn and regain the road
way. The machine turned slightly
and for a fraction of a second hung
on the brink The tire of front
wheel ripped off, the hub broke, and
the machine after sliding along the
edge q. few feet dropped into the river
so feet below. AS it slipped along
the edge of the draw the women in
the automobile screamed and all the
occupants rose to their feet, hut 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 from the machine
and were quickly taken from the river
by vesselmen who were on the dock
near the bridge. Both were uncon-
scious when rescued. and it was 80
minutes before they rallied. Neither
Kurtzman, his wife nor Hartley rose
to the surface, and it is thought that
they were pinned down by the ma
chine The automobile was drawn
from the river within a short time,
but up to late hour the bodies of the
three drowned persons had not been
recovered.
