URGE FREE RIDES
FOR HEALTH COPS
Railway Manager Takes Up
Subject With Company
Directors Today
DR.. BECK PRESENTS
CASE OF OFFICERS

Free transportation for the execu-
tive officers of the Board Of Health
will be considered at a meeting of
the directors of the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company this
afternoon. The Board of Health's re-
quest that these officers be given the
same privileges as city patrolmen will
be presented by William A. Heindle,
manager of the trolley company.
DR. c. Anthony Beck, president Of
the Board of Health, had asked Mr.
Beindle to permit uniformed officers
of the Board OF Health to ride with
out charge, but Mr.. Heindle wrote
him yesterday that he could not act
without the authority of the directors
OF the company.
The executive officers of the Board
of Health we're affected by the gem
eral recall of passes by the traction
company. which excepted uniformed
city patrolmen alone. The execu-
tive officers are still given free trans
portation by the Peoples Railway
Company. In asking for free trans
poration for it's officers the Board of
Health designates them as virtual city
policemen. and emphasized the fact
that they have to cover a much larger
territory than patrolmen. Payment
of car fare for the Health Department
officers would cause a big drain on its
already meagre appropriation, the
board officials say.

full view of their friends and as an
other boat with rescuers from the
shore drew near. The young woman

Paulding and Miss Drake were
members of a camping party at the
east end Of the lake. Shortly after 3

ner, of Clinton Corners, and Lester
Asher. of Rhinebeck.
Miss Mary Larry, the chaperone of
the camping party, was the only one
left on shore.
After sailing about the lake for
more than an hour a stiff wind blew
up and Paulding was observed from
the shore to be having difficulty with
the sails. He attempted a sharp
turn at the south end of the lake. but
the wind, which had suddenly become
a gale, caught the craft with suffi-
cient force to carry away the mast.

boat was overturned.

stricken, but Paulding, who was a
strong swimmer, helped all of them.

all but Miss Drake managed to keep
their heads above water until assist

out to her again. She grabbed him
about the neck, and despite his in
structions to simply hold on, pulled
him under.
When the young man saw the desper-
ate plight, he struggled to free him
self, but was not successful. The
two drowned together. just as Pierre
Cookingham and Worthing Marquette,
members of anothe camping party,
rowed out to give aid.
The other members Of the party
were taken ashore safely, and It was
necessary TO summon a physician to

went to the scene of the drowning,
and, with the assistance Of a number
of campers, dragged the lake for the
bodies Of .Paulding and Miss Drake.
