Girl Who Was Drowned
With Ida Schwartz Near
Hegewisch Brave.
TRIES TO SAVE FRIEND
Mother Sees Daughter Give Older
Girl the Death Grip; Then
Both Sank.

AS more and more of the facts of the
drowning of Ida Schwartz and Elsie
Holl at the Chittenden bridge near
Hegewisch become known it appears
that the little HoH girl died a heroine
while trying to save her chum and girl
hood playmate Ida Schwartz.
Two hours after the tragedy the
bodies were recovered from the Calu-
met river and the little girls were
found to have died in each others
arms.
What makes the drowning all the
sadder is the fact that the mother of
Ida Schwartz whose husband is the
bridge tender at the Chittenden bridge
stood at the doorway of her home
watching the children disporting them
selves in the water and turned her head
away for a moment only to have her
attention attracted to them again when
she heard them scream and realiz ed
that her daughter was drowning.
"Death Grip Ended ALL
She saw that Ida was in beyond her
depth and she saw Elsie struggling to
get out to her. In a moment her
daughter had grasped the HoH girl
with a death grip and they both went
down together.
The mother was unable to do any
thing to save either of the children
However. some fishermen were in a
boat near by and hearing the cries OF
the girls rowed to their assistance. but
they were too late to be of any assist
ance.
The bodies had disappeared. under the
water and could not be found until all
hope of saving the lives had passed and
the mother had abandoned the hope OF
ever seeing her daughter alive.
Mrs Edward Hon the mother of the
girl who sacrificed her life in an effort
to save her chum learned of her death
soon after it occurred and started for
South Chicago. The father who is q
band master and music teacher did
not know of the tragedy until he came
home In the evening.
Both bodies will be taken to Chi
eago where there will be a double fun
eraI.
The victims of this tragedy as in the
cases of that which cost the lives ot
Frank Kalaman and Peter Ponka, were
the only children of their parents. Fol
lowing, as it did so closely upon that
of the Kalaman and Ponka boys, ha.
shocked both the towns of Hegewiscf
| and Burnham and the sympathy of the
entire community is being poured ou
/ to the bereaved parents.

any member break the serenity in the
rooms. Then one of the members stroll

missing, and after waiting. around for
half an honr far his return. took a-Ipok

open and as things seemed to be in
confusion he called up several of the
officers on the phone and a council of

the contents Of the cash box were miss

The police of Dolton and RiverdaIe
were notified first and afterwards the
authorities in surrounding cities and
towns, and a description of the man
furnished. It is thought, however. that
the man either jumped a passing train
and went into Chicago or took an
electric car. He probably had an hour
or two start on the police and as little
is known as to what direction he took,
he will probably make getaway.

Brown has been in the employ of the

nights. Little is known as to his
antecedents except that he had a

While the cleaning up crusade is
on this week there are other things
that need attention aside from rubbish
heaps, according to DIR. w. G. Cole,
city physician. Among other things
Easements, cesspools, closets and old
wells require attention where any ex-
ist Under the ordinance regarding
sewer connections the use of cess
pools in the sewer district is forbid
den, and wherever any still exist they
should be securely closed, says DR..
Cole.
Also, the doctor declares that the
Easements especially those in the
business section of town, afford a
source of infection during the sum-
mer time. Accordingly he urges that
merchants, saloonmen and others hav-
ing Easements commence at once to-
wards cleaning them up so that they
will not be offensive during the warm
weather.
For several days past householders
all over the city have been busy
cleaning yards. and from appearances
the cleaning-up crusade will be pro-
ductive of much good. On Saturday
the atty will send garbage teams to
all parts of town for the purpose of
hauling off the rubbish that has been
piled in the streets. However, 1t Is
the desire to have all that is COM
bustible burned on the ground so as to
save carriage.

COAL SITUATION RELIEVED.
Plenty of Fuel From Now On and at
Reduced Prices.

The w. & C. r, has brought in 10
cars of coal for the Potlatch Lumber
company, whose ad appears elsewhere
in this paper which have been at
Hunts Junction for the last two
months. These cars were deliveries
on last falls orders anG this will al
low them to be sold at last falls
prices.
In order to get coal in Pendleton
during the coal famine, last winter,
the Potlatch company bought 80 cars
of coal, paying 50 premium above the
regular wholesale list for them. The
coal situation was relieved, but the
price had to be advanced accordingly.
From this time on coal may be Sc
cured at the regular wholesale price
from the Potlatch company, and the
people of Pendleton profiting by last
winters experience, will be wise If
they put in a supply during the sum-
mer months to carry them through
next winter.

mAHo's NEW LICENSE LAW.
Won Out Over Local Option After a
Hard Fight.

House bill No. 90, by Ballantyne,
the liquor license bill that is In the
governors hands for his signature,
was one of the hardest fought meas
ures of the session, says the Roise
statesman. 1t was the subject of
several public hearings-it and its
antithesis, II. b. No. IA. by Nc
Cracken, the straight local option
bill. Numbers of people came In
from out of town, to work for both
sides of the bill. The bill was BAN
died back and forth from the open
house to the committee of the whole,
and then travel up and down the
halls between the house and senate,
seeking rest. At last it has been
passed, and will becoem a law after
the signature of the governor.
The principal provision of the bill,
Is straight license Of $3.50 for every
saloon, of whatever grade, in the
state. Heretofore there has been
graduated system, from 800 to $500,
and then to $500. The bill was at
one time passed with graduated
scale, providing $500 license for
precincts or subdivisions under $50
voters: $500 up to 500 voters, and
$3.50 above 400 voters. At the time
this amendment was agreed to
which was after the bill had been
recommended to the house from the
committee of the whole, with n
straight license fee of S750-another
amendment was made requiring the
county commissioners to refuse to
grant a license in precincts where a
majority Of the voters petitioned
against 1t. Later. this amendment
bill was returned to the committee
of the whole, the petition provision
was stricken out, and the straight IL
cense fee restored. Some amending
was done in the senate, but nothing
affecting the general provisions Of the
bill.
Besides the license fee. the meas
ure requires a bond of $4,000 before
a license may be Issued. This bond
may be collected In case Of prosecu-
tlons arising out of misconduct or IL
legal selling of liquor. The commits
sioners may refuse to grant a license

laborers, bankers and others in at
tendance. The lecture was a plain,
homely statement of the foundation
principles of socialism and there was
nothing of the revolutionary in 1t.
Mr.. Goebel is a pleasing speaker,
while not making any pretentions Of
being an orator. He has studied his
subject thoroughly and is familiar
with conditions throughout the coun-
his assertions upon solid foundations
which cannot be disputed.
He said in part:
\ few years ago even an educated
man could be excused If compelled
to plead ignorance as to what was
meant by an arc light or the tele-
phone, but today even a child is ex-
pected to at least understand what
IL meant by the term. Just so with
socialism, it having reached that
strength and influence that a man
to be considered intelligent, will
seek 10 at least understand its mean
ing and purpose. .-
In Europe SO,O00,060 people, In
Guiding a large proportion of the
students, thinkers and historians, be-

number being voters. In this country
socialism is of course newer and hence
not as far advanced as in Europe.

soil proper for developing a rose, and
Just so with socialism; 1t appearing
and becoming inevitable only as the
economic conditions develop, which

to become practically slaves to a few

In the last five years a wonderful
increase in socialist vote and sentiment
has taken place, despite the lack
of daily papers or great campaign
funds by the organization. The vote
for president has increased to almost

SHEEP LAW APRIL |
REQUIRES ALL SHEEP TO
BE DIPPED "WHETHERNO"
Between Sl,earing and Starting for
the Summer Range-Those With
Scab Must Be Dipped Twice-Bin
Did Not Carry the Emergency
Clause-NIust BE Done Under In
Spection by the Federal Authori-
ties-2,50O,OOO Sheep in Oregon.

On April the recently enacted
sheep law will go into effect and as
a result every sheep in the state,
whether afflicted with scab or not
will have to be dipped.
Those found affected will require
dipping twice. The dipping must be
done between shearing time and the
time when the sheep are started for
the summer ranges in the noun
tains.
AS the Slusher bill contained the
emergency clause it will not have to
wait 80 days before going into effect
as was supposed by many.
Under the terms of the new law
all dipping is to be carried on under
spectors who will work in co-opera-
ton with the state sheep commits
sion. DR.. Mcclure in charge of the
federal work in the northwest, has
just returned from a trip to Boise
and is now preparing plans for the
dipping work.
In this state there are about g.
100000 sheep and in order to prop
erly superintendent the dipping DR..
Mcclure states that he will require
the services of about 90 deputies In
addition to those now under him. In
dipping the stockmen must use one
of the 16 dips officially recognized
by the bureau Of animal industry. 1t
is probable that Messrs. Pinkerton,
Archer and Mcdonald will supervise
the work in this county.
The bill requiring dipping was
passed in hopes that a thorough dip
ping of all the sheep in the state will
so obliteratc the scab that the pres
ent federal quarantine may be raised
Since this is the case, it is desired
to have the work done effectively
and according to DR.. Mcclure, the
dipping will be done as near a per
feet manner as possible. After tht
dipping in the spring the sheep viii
be- carefully inspected before their re-
turn from the summer ranges and al
found infected must he dipped agar
