judges of rowing who say that this
young Nova Scotian is the greatest
man of his day and generation. and
that he could have easily given Ten
Eyck and Greer his wash" in their
palmiest days. His time at Detroit
in 1909. when he won the champion
ship---7.1g 2-5--shows that the ex-
perts are not at sea. The distance
was one mile and quarter straight

regatta in Saratoga next month with

warns his eastern friends to be pre-

CLOSED At GARY
Death of Son of John o,
Bowers and Three Other
Cases of Diphtheria.

There is no spread in the diptheria
cases in Gary reports the city health
department. Although one death and
the development of three eases of the
disease caused the closing of the Jeffer
son school Yesterday there is no alarm
felt over the situation
Two of the cases are among pupils at
tending the jefferson school while the
third developed at the Holy Angels
parochial school. The fatality from the
disease was in the family of John O
Bowers whose nine months old son sue
cumbed.
According to Health Commissioner l.
Milestone the city is remarkably free
from contagious diseases. He says that
the Jefferson building will be thorough
~ disinfected and will be ready for &C.
cupancy by next Monday.
The use of antitoxin has robbed
diptheria of it's terrors. In former
years fatalities amounted to 40 per
cent but science has reduced the death
rate to per cent
