RESCUED FROM DEATH
At CATARACT'S BRINK
Woman Saved From Going
Over Niagara Falls by
Courageous Constable.

NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, May IL
Fighting with grim determination to end
her life. Mrs. Elizabeth Hartley Of Buff
falo, sixty years old. was rescued from
death at the very brink of the cataract
yesterday by Constable Thomas Harring-
ton. who faced constant danger of being
carried over the falls with the strug-
Cling woman.
Mrs. Hartley. who came here yester-
day, entered the water about sixty feet
above the fallsif Her dress caught on a
jagged rock fifteen feet from the brink
OF the falls. There she was held until
Harrington reached the bank with a pike
pole and hooked it into her Dress
Her. arms, pinioned by the terrific cur
rent, Mrs. Hartley tried to get free from
the pole. but finally, weakened by her
struggles, she became quiet and was drag
ged ashore. At the hospital, where she
was taken, it is said she cannot live.
On the river bank was found a letter
and a bunch of flowers. The letter read:
mo longer to be treated as a thing de-
mented."
Word received later from Buffalo said
that Mrs. Hartley was an inmate of the
State Hospital there. She had been on
parole for several weeks and left the in
stitution yesterday to take position In
a private family. She had shown no signs
of her mental trouble for three months.

siderable debate, although it was adopted
by large majority. Chaplin Brown de-
clared that in his opinion it would be a
mistake to try to force this plan upon
members of Congress when the whole
tendency at the Capitol was toward con-
centration of appropriation bills in the
hands OF one great appropriation COM
mittee In the Senate and in the House.
F Charles w. Clagett, on the other hand,
favored the resolution in an amended
form, saying he thought it should be re-
ferred to the committee on law and legis-
lation Of the chamber before IL was
adopted. Mr.. Brown asked that 1t be re-
ferred to the board Of directors OF the
chamber. saying that 1t was q matter of
policy rather than law. President James
F. Oyster Of the chamber was OF the
same opinion, but when the vote was
taken on the resolution 1t was adopted
by a good majority. The resolution calls
for the appointment of q committee OF
five to lay the matter before the presid-
ing officers of the Senate and House.

William E. Shannon made the motion for
the appropriation.
George Y. Worthington addressed the
chamber in opposition to the recent ac-
ton of the board of directors appropriat-
ing $500 for the use Of the Retail Mer-
chants Association of the chamber dur
ing the coming fiscal year. Mr.. Worth
ington declared that he believed this was
a bad precedent and that similar calls
would be made on the treasury of the
chamber by other auxiliary organizations
which would be hard to deny, in view of
the appropriation for the retail mer-
chants.
There was no discussion of the pro-
posed merger of the Board of Trade and
the Chamber of Commerce, but announce
ment was made of the special meeting
which has been called for next Tuesday

as follows: Notice is hereby given

1t will be seen that neither the

unfair, filed an additional abstract as
authorized by Rule Z of the supreme
court, Sc Or. GIG. 1t appears, how
ever, that an index to appellants alb.
stract was omitted and her counsel
insisting that the oversight in this
particular was occasiohed by mad
vertence, asks leave to supply the de-
fciency. The failure to attach to an
abstract a table of it's contents as re.
quired by rule of court, is not mat.
ter of Jurisdiction and where the non.
observance of such command is moi
wilful and a reasonable excuse Is
made for the omission, the party
should be relieved of his default.
Permission will therefor be grant
ed to correct the error which may be
rectified by pasting into the abstract
a typewriter index of its contents al
any time prior to the hearing of the
cause on its merits.
The motion should be denied and II

Carried the Body Down.


Both ran then, she said, into the
house and up to the garret, where
Lewis, trying the child's heart and
pulse, carried the body down stairs.
Mrs. Rumball swore that when she
found the girl dead the body was ly-
ing with the head at the foot Of the
scantling and the feet under the door
on some trestles a few inches away.
The child's hands were over her head
and the rope loose, was about her
neck at the bottom of the upright
scantling
Testimony Clears Lewis.
The point of the woman's testimony
came when she swore that Lewis,
her brother, had not gone back to the
garret after he made the visit when
he finished supper. She swore she saw
the girl after Lewis did. and that she
was alive. She said the rope was
about the girls neck when she saw
Helen, but said nothing about bruis-
es on the body, which the autopsy re-
revealed. In brief. the woman main
tained that Lewis, who is specifically
charged, had nothing to do with the
child's death.
The woman's story is being gone
over at length in cross-examination
this afternoon.
