Had it not been for the watchful
eye and quick action of Max Hanen,
of this city, Thomas Dougherty, of
Montclair, would probably have been
drowned yesterday afternoon at
Boynton Beach. He was rescued
Just in time and was brought ashore
more dead than alive.
DR.. B. w. Hoagland, of Wood
bridge, was summoned and employees
of the beach worked over Dougherty
for fully a half-hour. He finally re-
gained consciousness and was later
able to walk to trolley car.
The accident happened about 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon while
several excursionists were enjoying
plunge. Dougherty, who is troll
ley conductor at Montclair and a man
OF tall and robust figure had hired
a bathing suit and was walking in
the water at depth of probably four

The EVENING NEWS vacation
trip contest opens with just three
contestants in this city. The contest
In the other places is being conduct
ed In their respective columns.
Should no other persons enter In this
city these three persons will go to
Niagara Falls as the guests of the
EVENING NEWS with very little
effort. But the young women of this
city are not going to let such an OPP
portunity for an outing slip through
their fingers so easily.
1t will take only few coupons to
catch up to any Of the three already
in the race. A subscription or two
will put a starter far in the lead.
The race is young yet and 1t Is de-
cidedly an open one. Three persons
are surely going from this city and
with only three entered should no
others enter the contest 1t would make
them sure winners. 1t Is readily
seen how easy 1t would be to get In
the race now and stand with the
leaders. Even with five or six entered
the race would be an easy one for all.
If you have never been to Niagara
Falls you don't know the real attrac-
tions there. This trip Is going to last
for several days at that place so as
to give all a chance to see every
thing. A responsible person will ac-
company the party and the trip will
be the best In every particular. All
expenses will be met by this news
paper. Do you not think 1t is worth
striving fort 1t looks as II 1t was
going TO be easy for three young
ladies of this city.
The party does not start until the
latter part of August SO that there is
lots of time for work. Any young
woman can soon take the lead In the
race. But 1t must be remembered
that three are going and all are on
an equal footing. Surely If you are
mot the leader you can at least be
SECOND or third. More names are
bound to come in soon. The race Is
open. Get busy.

WORK
PROVES FATAL
Four Persons Dead as Result
of a New York Fire in
Which Heroic Work by
Rescuers Was Dramatic
Failure.
BY Associated Press.

New York, May Heroic reScueS

in Harrison street. Williamsburg,

while firemen played streams OF wa

the body loose, but in doing so tore
off a leg which had been wedged IN

That the loss OF life from the in
