FIVE DEATHS AND LOSS
OF MILLION REPORTED.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Five dead
five persons missing and a property
loss Of nearly 81 1000, 900, is the result OF
a twoldays' storm, which has ragged
internationally in New York and envi-
rons. Weather predictions indicat
that the storm may continue today.
The t~orrential downpour has been a
boon to the depleted reservoirs, ten
days supply having been accumulated
in the Croton watershed.
The lightning played o strange prank
at CIason Point, on the sound, last
night, striking a revolving Ferris
wheel. The big wheel, which carried
several passengers, vas thrown from
its axis and stuck fast. The lightning
blinded the passengers and there was
a panic. Several women attempted to
leap from the wheel but were re-
strained. The passengers were taken
down on ladders rugged together.

POLES DRAG POND FOR BOY
WHO HAD BEEN RESCUED.
Much Excitement in Harrison
Until Youth Appears.

Three hundred frenzied Poles yester-
day dragged McAneny's pond at the
foot of Manor avenue, Harrison, when
they heard that ~5-year-old Willie Odocq,
of 3I2 Manor avenue, Harrison. had
fallen from a raft and was drowned.
Garden rakes and hose We're pressed in
to service md graphing irons were
used. Councilman Thomas II. O'Con-
nor, from the gatehouse of the Interna-
tional Steam Pump Works, saw the
crowd and he thought a riot was in
progress. He flashed a message to the
Harrison police and several bluecoats
responded.
Before the police arrived Willie had
been found, but not in the pond, how
ever. william Brady and William
Simpson both 10 years old, rescued the
lad from a watery grave many minutes
bofre word that he had been drowned
had spread around. 1t appears that the
odocq boy had climbed aboard a raft
that had been left in the pond. When
he began to drift toward the centre he
became frightened and screamd for
help.
His father, Stanislaus Odocq. heard
the cries of tie lad. and with William
Putzi ran to the pond. The pair, with
their clothes on, started out for the
boy. They had only taken a few steps
when they began to sink in the miro.
Both waded back and ran to the house
to procure some clothesline. While
they were gone Brady and SINH son

dicament of the boy on the half up

PRINCETON HEAD
MAY Be NAMED
THIS AFTERNOON
Popular Rumor Says That Pro.
lessor Hibben Will Be
Choice of Trustees.

PRINCETON, June 12.-Princeton
men the country over are now turning
their attention to the meeting of the
board of trustees of Princeton Univer-
sity.
The great problem that will be
threshed out by the trustees will be
the selection of a new president to sue
coed Governor Woodrow Wilson. 70.
There is a very general opinion that a
new president will be chosen at this
meeting, but the trustees have steadily
refused to discuss the situation.
From the start there have been sew
eral names which have generally been
regarded as probable candidates for the
position. Chief among these are Pro-
fessor John Grier Hibben. 80; Henry d.
Fine, 80, dean of the faculty and de-
partment of science, and Professor
Henry Fairfield Osborn, II, of New
York city. These three names have
weathered the storm of practically nine
months of discussion.
According to popular campus gossip
Professor Hibben will be elected presi-
dent, but there are many who believe
that no member of the Princeton
faculty will be chosen.

BOY WHO KILLED

Tainted by Adversary, Forced

NEW YORK, June 12.-Young Frank
Burke awoke this morning at police
headquarters to the realization of the
fact that he had taken a human life.
All during the night he had moaned
and tossed on the cot in his cell. where
he had beer locked up since the after
noon, charged with homicide, after
James Wesley Smith, jr., had died at
his feet following a fist fight,

boy. living at 9S2 Amsterdam avenue
with his mother and grandmother. He,
young Smith, and eight other boys had
been playing Tip cat during the after
noon in the open space at Seventy
ninth street and Riverside drive. They
quarreled and Smith dared Burke to
fight it out.
The other boys who had crowded
around cheered and led h way TO a
feneed-in lot at Eighty-first street and
Broadway.
The two lads stripped off their coats,
while the others formed a ring about
them. Charles Sulzer, of 22e West
Eighty-third street, was made referee.
Burke went after Smith, his two fists
going like t~rip-hammers. Under this
assault Smith began to give ground.
Burke saw an opening and sent in an
uppercut which dropped Smith uncon-
scious.
It took DIR. Smith. who came with
the ambulance, just about a minute to
realize that Jimmy had been dead for
some time, and when he told the boys
father so, young Burke, who was
standing close by, began to weep as
though his heart would break.

provides $4,000 for establishing and
maintaining the baths. Present plans
are to place them in West Side Park,
which borders the river. A life-saving

POPULARITY OF
POSTAL BANKS IS
GROWING APACE
Trustees Find Venture Success
full and Tending to Engender
Nation-W Wide Thrift.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-THE
trustees of the postal savings system
have come to the conclusion that the
experimental stage in United States
postal savings banks has been passed.
The plan has proved it's merit. From
now on it will be easy sailing.
Beginning this month the department
will increase the number of postal saw
ings repositories throughout the coun-
try at the rate of one hundred a month.
There are ninety-three now. A year
from this date there will be 1900 or
more. Within a few years the country
will be a vast network of these institu-
tions, into which the poorest can put
his savings and sleep on the knowledge
that the wealth OF the nation is behind
them.
Tho Banks Crash, Nest Eggs Are Safe.
1t makes no difference to the deposit
tor whether panic sweeps across the
country and banks topple to destruc-
ton all around him; the financial re-
sources of the nation are committed
to the protection of the nest egg which
he has in the postal savings depository.
Contrary to expectation, the estab-
llSlnGnI OF DOSLal bdNllSS uepOsiloi iCe
does not cut into the business of trust
companies, savings. State and national
banks, and herein is one of the signih-
cant features of the system. II does
not mean thai depositors do not well
come the advent Of the postal savings
repositories and their guarantee of pro-
lection. In one way 1t Is a tribute to
the stability of the general banking
system of the country, but, above all,
1t indicates that national thrift has re-
ceived an impetus.
People Are Becoming Saving.
The people of the nation are taking
up the saving habit. Under the rules
any person ten years old or over may
have an account in his or her name
A married woman's account is free
from interference by her husband
| Nearly every account opened in a
postal savings depository is a new VEN
| ture, not the transference of a banh
deposit. Consequently the advent OF
the postal savings depository has
brought to many persons the benefit OF
a savings account and an incentive to
| save against the rainy day"
