THREE RESCUED BY GIRL
Man and Two Boys Owe Lives
to Swimming instructor.
OVERHEARD IN THE HUDSON
Man Taken Ashore First, Then
Young Woman Returns for
Drowning Lads.

Miss Mamie Ramsperger, twenty-five
years old, Of No. $50 Fox street, an in
structor In swimming in floating pubic
bath which was tied to dock near l3lst
street and the East River. rescued three
persons who were in the river yesterday
afternoon. Two Of those she brought
ashore, Albert Message. eight years DID,
OF No. 603 East 18th street. and Henry
Eichenberg, twenty-nine years old, OF No
536 Southern Boulevard, were removed 70
Lincoln Hospital in a serious condition.
The rescue was seen by hundreds Of per-
sons, who gathered on the shore ana
cheered the plucky young woman.
Young Message and William Elliott,
eleven years old, of No. 63l East
l35th street, the third person saved, had
gone to the public bath. but were kept
waiting in line, with several others to
take their turn to get into the bathhouse
While waiting the boys wandered over TO
the adjoining dock where several men
were at work on floats building an ad-
dition to the dock The lads got float
that was not In use and unfastened the
rope which held it. The float swung out
from the dock, and, carried by the tide,
went rapidly down the stream. When 1t
was about one hundred feet from the
shore Message fell overheard.
Elliott, who had been on the opposite
side of the float. jumped after his COM
panion. and Message seized him about
the neck. The two boys struggling in the
water attracted the attention of the men
working on the dock. and Eichenberg
jumped after them. Eichenberg got the
boys, one on each shoulder and started
for the shore. He had made about half
the distance when his strength gave out
and he sank.
A cry went up from those on shore who
I had been watching and Miss Ramsperger
ran TO the end OF the public bath. she
was dressed In black tights. Miss Ram
sperger leaped overheard and swan rap
idly to the aid OF the three persons
Eichenberg had gone down twice, but the
two boys were splashing about in the
water The girl dived after the man and
got him. bringing him TO the surface
Then calling to the boys that she would
be back. she turned and swan TO the
float.
Miss Ramsperger waited only 10 see
that Eichenberg was all right and thsn
leaped back after the boys. Elliott had
gone down and Message was trying TO save
him. Miss Ramsperger seized Message
and then when Elliott reappeared on me

turned toward shore, and started TO swim
slowly, the small waves time and again
breaking in her face and choking her
Frank Castner, OF No Brown Place,

Alexander avenue station, started to Miss
Ramsperger's assistance with rowboats',
and the young woman and the boys were
taken ashore. The hundreds who had
been watching cheered and waved their
handkerchiefs at her. Many shook her
hand.

Thus spoke George Sylvester Viereck.
poet when confronted with the remarks
OF DR.. William +. Waugh. the Chicago
neurologist. who was quoted in yester-
days Tribune as saying that there is
never a manor prUte-so brutal but a
woman clings 10 him." and that under
meath men and women of to-day are
Identical with the cave men and women
Mr.. Viereck seemed the right person to
go TO about all this because poets have
the reputation OF knowing women's souls,
and besides Mr.. Viereck has just written
a history of woman, a poem called THE
Plant OF Eve" in which he traces her
history from the time of the first mother
to the present day, including character
sketches Of Queen Elizabeth and Maude
Adams
1T is true" went on Mr. Niereck, that
women are nearer to earth and more
primitive than men and may therefore

the new type of woman who transcends
the limits of her sex is far more spiritual.
What that man says about women liking
to be beaten may have been true hum
dred years ago or fifty years ago, or OF
some ant-sunragists to-day. but II Is
not true of the real modern woman.
Women haven't so acute a moral sense
as man. but they can't ever become moral
until they have equal rights"
There is one anti-suffragist who refuses
to fall under Mr. Viereck's classification,
and that is Mrs. William Forse Scott.
Good heavens no." was Mrs. Scott's
reply when asked whether women still
adored the cave man. She characterized

GETTING ELECTION RETURNS

There Is a wonderful difference now
a-days In the matter of collecting cleo
tion returns from York county as COM
pared with say twenty-five years ago.
Then 1t was feat that involved labor,
expense, and more or less skill; but
nowadays 1t Is such an easy matter
that individuals can do 1t for their per-
sonal satisfaction.
In the old days, and the experience of
The Enquirer goes back even before
the coming Of the telegraph wires to
this section, the custom was to arrange
with reliable men at each precinct to
bring or send the returns to Yorkville
by private conveyance. There were
only ten or a dozen precincts then: but
the collection of returns during the
night following the election was quite
an undertaking. Some twenty or more
years ago, after the building of a tele-
graph line from Blacksburg to Rock
Hill, preliminary to the collection of
election returns was an arrangement to
have the telegraph offices kept open
after o'clock p. m. on the day Of the
election as far in the night as neces-
sary, and the people who undertook the
work Of getting in the returns would
telegraph the figures Of their respec-
tive precincts from the nearest tele-
ment of the telephone service, the re-
turns from some precincts would be
telegraphed, others would be telephon-
ed. and still others would be brought in
by special messenger.
In the case Of every election where
there was considerable interest dur
ing the past fifty years or more, 1t has
been the custom of The Enquirer to
collect the returns the night following
the voting. And in all that time there
has never been a single failure. Sew
eral times for one reason or another,
one or two boxes were omitted; but
the trouble was generally due to heavy
rains making the streams impossible or
some other unforeseen occurrence
against which 1t was impossible to
guard. One Of the most troublesome
boxes OF the old days was Buffalo, now
In Cherokee county. There were plenty
Of good reliable men there to bring or
send the news. and they made no hesi-
tation in taking the returns to Blacks
burg or even bringing them to York.
vile, distance Of twenty-five miles.
but on several occasions Buffalo creek
was up, and as there were no bridges
In those days. there was no other way
for 1t than to wait until the creek went
down. More than once the Fort Mill
returns have been brought to Yorkville
during the night following the election,
the messengers having to cross Ca
tawba river by way Of the ferry.
But as stated, the collection of the
returns nowadays Is an easy matter
so easy that 1t makes but little call
for enterprise. There Is nothing to do
but arrange with reliable men at each
precinct to telephone the figures into
the Office, where the returns may be
assembled and put in comprehensive
shape.
