YOUNG FOREIGNER
IS SLOWLY DYING
M. Gallichio Still Held at the
County Jail Waiting Ac-
ton of u. S. Dept.

The condition of Michele Gallichio, a
young Italian who came to this coun.
try March s to make a fortune, and
who is now confined to the county jail
suffering from pemphigus vulgaris, a
deadly skin disease, is apparently
worse today. Sheriff steen has receiv.
ed no notice from the immigration in
spectors of the department of Com
merce and Labor as to what DISPOSE
ton to make of the case. Thomas
Thomas, the immigrant inspector who
arrested the Italian at Dublin last
week, stated at the time that in all
probability arrangements would be
made Immediately to deport Gallichio
BY this time Gallichio knows that
the days remaining for him to live are
few. The young foreigners case is ex
tremely pitiful. He was informed as
soon as he was placed in the county
institution of the seriousness of his
disease and since that time he has
slept little. He stated that he came to
this country to earn enough money to
pay for the passage of number of his
relatives and that shortly after his ar.
rival here he developed the disease
which is not contagious but which in
brief time claims the life of its vic.
tim.

CHICAGO. May 20.-Six persons.
three men and three women, passeng-
ers in big black touring car that
tore along at a rate OF 30 miles an
hour were carried to death in the Calu-
met river at 92nd street early today
when the driver failed to heed dan
ger signals and warning cries from
police at the bridge, and plunged
through an open draw. Although the
screams of the autoists were heard
by the crew OF two fireboats. the Illi-
nos and Yosemite, standing close by
and boats were put out at once only
one body, that of a woman, was recov-
cred. Later police boats were summon
ed and graphing for the other bodies
began. 1t is the belief they are pinned
beneath the heavy car.
That the sly persons who list their
lives may be Indianians who were on
their way home after an evening in
Chicago, is the belief of the police.
Laughed At Police.
The car was running south at the
time the accident occurred. II was
miles an hour, the police say. when
they first sighted it. The party in the
car were laughing and singing. The
draw was open when the car came in
| sight and a big red danger signal blaz-
! ed directly in its path. The driver
paid no heed and did not check the
speed with which he approached the
| bridge. Seeing this the police tried to
save the automobile party,
They rushed towards the car shout
ing at the top of their voices. The
driver paid no heed, although the oc.
cupants laughed and shouted and the
/ police believe the autoists thought
they were in danger of arrest and were
! jeering at the police who were trying
to stop them. The police believe the
chauffeur put on more speed in order
to escape and drove straight at the
bridge without looking to see whether
| the draw was open.
A police at the bridge entrance in
stantly stretched a heavy chain across
! the pathway of the car in a last ef-
fort to stop the machine. The car
struck it, snapped it as though 1t had
been thread and then plunged over the
| brink into the river.
| When the machine leaped out over
the river, it's occupants for the first
time seemed to realize their danger.
Their laughter changed to screams.
The police and members of the fire
tug crews think that the young woman
whose body was recovered, jumped
from her place as the car plunged
downward. She struggled in the water
for few moments but could make no
fight against the current and went
down before the boats hastily launch
ed could reach her. No mark on her
clothing gave Suy hint as to her identi.
ty. She was richly dressed and appear
ed to be about % years old.
William Ropham. fireman on board
one of the fire tugs, was an eye wit
ness to the affair. He corroborated the
policies statement that there were six
persons in the car.
