Young Wite Dies In Husbands Arms
 Over Niagara Falls
Lewis Cohen Has Narrowing Experience in Hours Struggle to Save Desperate Wife From Death-Despaired Because She Was Unable to Suckle Her Babe-Body Is Recov-
 ered-Cohen Is Saved From Cataract.

Niagara Falls, June 6.--Lewis Cohen of Buffalo saw his young wife leap into the swirling river between Second and Third Sisters Islands at o'clock this afternoon, only 150 feet above the brink of the cataract. Without a mo- ment's hesitation, he followed her, caught her hand and struggled desper- ately to save her
 Mrs. Cohen probably died in her husbands arms. Before it was possi- ble to bring efficient help an hour had passed during all of which Cohen was making frantic attempts to reach the shore. But the struggle against the current-at this point it Is about 20 miles an hour-was beyond his power.
 Fortune aided him. With his wife tightly clasped to him, he felt him self bump into a tree stump, and on this he got grip with his one free hand. He lnstily shouted for help and word was carried to the reservation police, but it was nearly an hour after Mrs. Coh en jumped into the river that Officer James Martin arrived with Rep resentative James S. Simonds and three other men, carrying ropes. Three times they threw the rope before it fell with in Cohen's grasp. When he did catch 1t he was too weak to tie it about his own or his wifes waist The two were 20 feet away from shore and 1t was extremely difficult, owing to the pre- carious nature of the footing, to make a good cast

REPORT IS DENIED.
Victims In Asiatic Turkey Will Not
 Exceed 4000.

Washington, June 6.-Emphatic de- nial was entered today at the Turkish embassy to the reports that 10000 or 80000 persons had been killed during the recent troubles in Asiatic Turkey, and the statement was made that un- usual efforts are being made to punish those responsible for the disorders
 Deep repret was expressed that ex- aggerated reports have been printed in certain newspapers concerning the dis order. The opinion was advanced that the articles have been inspired by per sons who find 1t to their interest to accuse the constitutional government at Constantinople with being responsible for what has happened and that the papers have been imposed upon. In contradiction to the newspaper reports it was stated that the last official news was that the number of victims would not exceed 4000.

keep his wife's face above water
 Once Cohen had hold of the rope the men on short began to pull and of ficer Martin. who was in the front, slipped and fell into the stream, but quickly regained his feet. When with in 15 feet of the shore Cohen lost his grip on his wifes body and 1t was car ried off down stream and was lost to view.
 Cohen was so far gone when his resouers got him on shore that he could not speak for 10 minutes. His first words were: "She is out tn ere. Go and get her. She is dead; she died in my arms
 Meanwhile a crowd had gathered, Superintendent Perry and Chief Shoe bridge skirted the Goat Island shore looking for the body. but could see nothing of 1t. Cohen joined them. a1- ways insisting that the body must have stopped sh ort of the Cataract and might be rescued by men daring enough.
 William Barnet and Hugh Brown. who had joined the search hers, finally spied the body just before o'clock. It was held fast by rock about 100 feet above the brink. Without ropes, Brown and Barnet waded into the stream and moving carefully over the slippery rocks, reached the body. Just as Brown touched the body the cur rent caught 1t again and whirIed it around an eddy. It was with the greatest difficulty that the men brought the body to land. Life was eX- tinct
 Cohen says that worry over the fact that she was unable to suckle Ter in fant depressed his wife greatly and probably caused her desire for death.
 He, robust man, quickly recovered from the shock of his experience.
