thrown into the water and Mrs. Valerie
Petit, 20,. OF Pawtucket, was drowned
when a small sailboat overturned at the
India Point railroad bridge over the
Seekonk River late this afternoon.
In the party were Mr. and Mrs Robert
and their child and Mr.. and Mrs. Edmond
Petit. They had sailed up the bay from
Crescent Park and had turned up the
Seekonk to continue their sail TO Paw
tucket. The railroad bridge is only a
few feet above the water and the current
runs beneath 1t like millrace. The boat
was 10 foot rowboat in which n mast
had been stepped. and as the craft ap-
proached the bridge Petit threw over
the anchor. wishing to bring the boat
to a standstill until the mast could be taken
down.
Tho anchor failed to reach bottom, as
the water is about so feet deep at that
point. Carried by the incoming tide the
boat swept against the bridge. The
mast caught and turned the boat bottom
up. Robert was the only one in the
party who could swim. He tried to aid
his wife. but found himself helpless.
Petit was pulled into the bridge by rope.
Mrs, Petit went down when the boat
turned and was seen no more. Mrs.
Robert, clutching her baby with one
hand. kept hersslf above the surface
with the other, floating rapidly up stream.
More than 100 yards above the bridge a
boat sent from shore caught aher4 just as
she was about TO give up. The baby was
unconscious but later revived.

CHICAGO. June 1s,-If tentative plans
now forming 60 through an avalanche o,
women will fall upon Washington some
day soon that will make Congress take
notice that there is decided opposition
to the proposed glove and hosiery tariff
Feeling that perhaps Senators and
Representatives thought the long petition
sent by the Federation OF Cook County
Women's Clubs carried to Washington q
few months ago represented only local
feeling. the women propose to descend
upon Washington with delegations from
the declarations OF women's clubs In
many States.
Since the agitation was started there
has been much correspondence between
the officers Of the Cook County Federation
and officials OF other women's clubs, not
only praising the work done in Chicago
but pledging support il further action is
necessary.
Now the time has come. the women say
when ii would seem that Congress is not
sufficiently impressed with the volume OF
the protest nor the widespread interest
that women in all parts Of the country are
taking in the proposed tariff schedule on
these necessary articles Of wearing APP
parel, therefore it is the purpose Of the
women OF Cook county. who from the first
have been the aggressors in the fight,
to show the members of both houses and
even President Taft that this Is not a
local protest
From Michigan, Indiana, Ohio. Wiscon-
sin and Kansas have come letters indor-
sing the work done by the Chicago women
and declaring that the clubwomsn Of
these States are a unit in earnest protest
against any advance in the tariff on these
articles. With the cooperation Of the
women Of these other States the women OF
Cook county believe that they can get up

women OF the middle West who will
