Johns college, has denied most posi-
lively that any of the students Of
his institution took part in the lynch
ing of the negro Henry Davis, Friday
morning

attending preparatory school before
taking the entrance examinations to
the naval academy, met with the lynch
ers, but it has not been shown that
they took any part in it.
Admiral Sands, superintendent OF the
naval academy, said it was an impos-
sibility for any of the cadets to get out
to take part in the lynching. They are
accounted for at all hours Of day and
night, he said. The prosecuting attor-
ney has agreed that none OF the
students at st. Johns college or the
naval academy had any part in the
lynching

BEFORE wIFE's EYES.
Young Man in New Jersey browns
Trying to Save Boy.

Morristown, N. John Arke, 3
years old, and George Davis 20 years
old, were drowned in the grist mill
pond In the Rockaway river recently
after a frantic fight for life, Arke was
skating on the pond with a crowd OF
bows, when he suddenly fell through a
hole in the ice. Near the pond was
the home Of Davis, and the other boys
ran to his place for assistance. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis hurried to the
pond where young Arke was struggling
In the water and crying to be saved,
Mrs. Davis brought clothesline
with her, which she picked up in the
rear of her house, and before she would
allow her husband to go near the hole
through which the boy had fallen
she tied the rope around his body and
held fast to the other end.
In a few seconds Davis was at the
edge of the hole and slowly slid into
the cold water. He grabbed young
Arke, who by that time was exhausted.
When Davis tried to lift the limp body
to the surface he encountered task
that was too much for him. Each time
he got the body to the surface it slid
back into the water. Soon overcome by
the cold, Davis was unable TO make fur
ther efforts for the boy, and bent what
little strength he had left to getting
himself out. He couldn't do that.
pull. for Gods sake, pull" he cried
to his wife, who, with the help OF sew
eral of the boys, was tugging on the
rope fastened to his waist. Just as
the man was about to crawl to safety
on the ice, the rope broke, and he went
back into the water and under the
ice
Crazed by the sight of her husband
drowning, Mrs. Davis endeavored tc
make a dash for the hole, and would
have jumped in, but was prevented by
the crowd.

Iceland Wants TO 60 i Alone.

Autonomy for Iceland is again be-

that island and Denmark. That the
Icelanders ardently long for the indie
