JOHN QU|LLAN
SAVES ANOTHER
FROM DROWNING

John Quillna, who is resident OF the
FOX Point section OF the city. is bringing
himself into noteworthy prominence, for
his heroic acts OF rescuing persons from
watery graves. His latest act occurred
yesterday. when he pulled a youngster
from the waters OF the Providence river
at the foot Of Transit street. in a half
drowned state. When Mr. 'Quillans at
tention was attracted 90 the boy, without
consideration for his clothes. he dove into
the muddy waters and succeeded in
catching hold OF him as he had disap-
peared for the last time.
He was brought ashore and resusciat-
Ing means employed until sufficiently
able 10 walk To his home. His counte-
nance depicted the closeness OF his call.
and the fact that he was alive Is due
wholly to the alertness OF Mr.. Quillan.f
Like instances are not uncommon in
this section and Il seems that some
means should be taken 90 make the boys
swim where the danger Is not 80 great A
novice at swimming In that locality has
little chance OF success. as the water Is
too deep TO allow for the frequent rests
that aa unprohcient swimmer needs.

new and probably most effective tack
is to be taken in dealing with Sunday
liquor selling in this city.
The police commissioners are expected
to inaugurate the plan soon: and the
liquor dealers. wholesale and retail. will
have 10 sit up and take notice.
The idea is 10 force any OF the whole
salers who may now be in league with
the retailers I'm defying or evading the
laws. to be law-abiding themselves lest
their own licenses be revoked.
There is provision OF the state law
under which wholesalers who sell liquors
knowingly 10 unlicensed places or 20 per-
sons who are not doing legitimate bust
ness. may have their licenses revoked.

within the past three months that GER
