STUDENTS BODIES
ARE STILL in LAKE
NO TRACE OF GEORGE K. HAMILTON
AND JAMES O. WATKINS HAS
BEEN FOUND.
BODIES IN WATER FOR MONTHS
Medical Men Begin to Scout the idea
That the Lads Drowned While
Canoeing.
NO LIKE CASE IS on RECORD.

MADISON, Wis, July 13.-LSpecial.l
Medical science has either suffered a
reversal, or there are no students bodies
in Lake Mendoza.
Three months ago today John 0. Wat
1ins of Milwaukee and George X Hamil-
ton Of Berlin disappeared and nothing
has been heard Of them since. They
took Il canoe to cross the lake and prom
ised to be back at o'clock. They did
not return and about IL o'clock that
night, following chapter meeting, the
members of the S. A. E. fraternity
started Il search. The following day Il
paddle was found near Governors island
and the canoe was located near there. y
vigorous search was begun for the bod
les. Students with launches secured the
lake, and two divers were brought here
from Milwaukee to continue the search.
No clue could be discovered. One Of
the divers, a friend of Mrs. Watkins, re-
manned in Madison until about two
weeks ago, when he gave up the search
and left town. a reward Of $50 has
now been offered for the bodies.
Students Were Hopeful.
When the bodies did not rise in three
weeks, some of the fishermen and peO-
pie who had lived near the lakes for
years began to scout the idea that the
students had been drowned One theory
developed was that the students wished
to leave the institution and had rowed
across the lake and taken a train at
Mendoza station for Chicago. Other
stories that the boys had left the institu-
ton for cause were quickly denied by
friends
The students claimed that the bodies
would surely rise when the water of the
lake warmed up. Medical men asserted
that bodies could not remain in such
water as Lake Mendoza any length of
time after the temperature rose. Boys
have been in swimming in the lake for
the past month and the temperature in
Madison during the past week has aver
aged nearly so degrees.
May Be Caught.
The suggestion has been now set forth
that the bodies may be caught in the
weeds or between two rocks, but the
geological map of the lake shows no such
Caverns, and men familiar with the
tOpogra ply of the lake claim that it is
scarcely possible that two bodies should
get caught. Parents of the two stu
dents have given up all hope of finding
the bodies. Occasionally Mr. Hamilton,
who is Il travelling salesman, visits Madi-
SOL.
There is no systematic search for the
bodies being made now. 1t all depends
on chance. In case the bodies are discov-
cred the police or the fraternity house
a feeling among many people of Madi-
son that a definite clue to the boys will
soon be found and that they are not
dead.
