VICTIMS IN THE WHIRLPOOL
BORNE AWAY ON THE FLoEs

NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, February o
Although watchers Were stationed at
the Whirlpool rapids early today. it was
not expected that the ice-churning
waters would soon, if ever, release the
bodies Of the man, woman and boy who
were swept down the gorge with foes
from yesterdays sudden disintegration
of the ice bridge. The appearance Of the
Whirlpool was ugly and the grinding Of
the ice jam racing within it echoed
through the gorge. Great cakes of ice
were being hurled down stream under
the bridges. where still dangled the ends
of the ropes which had proved useless in
the endeavoring to rescue the trio as
they were being swept down stream.
Nothing developed today to make more
certain the identity Of the man and
woman supposed to be Mr.. and Mrs
Eldridge Stanton Of Toronto, Ont, ex-
cepting that those persons had not re-
turned to their hotel. 1t is known that
they started for the ice bridge about an
hour before the sudden release of tons
Of ice below the falls swept 1t away.
The father of Burrell Heacock Of Cleve-
land, the third victim, arrived today.
After a look at the ice-piled gorge he
said he had no hope Of ever seeing the
body Of his son, who, after being drawn
by a rope part way up to the cantilever
bridge slipped back exhausted into the
river

Ice Bridge Breaks.

1t was 1910 pm. yesterday when Will
liam Lablond, a river man who was on the
bridge, heard the grinding and crashing
of the ice and warned his companions that
the way to safety was in the direction of
the Canadian shore, to which he ran.
The man and woman started first
toward the American shore. A lane of
open water stopped them. Then they ran
toward the Canadian side, turned about
and made for the American side. When
hardly more than 15O feet from the rocky
shore the woman fell on her face, utterly
exhausted. Thousands of people lined the
shore and she was hard to cry out:
II can't go on; can't go on. Let us
die here"
AS the woman fell the man strove to
get her to her feet again and tried to
drag her along the ice, calling for assist
ance. Heacock turned back to the couple
and helped support the woman. The act
cost him his life

Trying to Save Wife.

AS the couple swung under the canti-
lever bridge, the man grasped rope
and tried to put it about the woman's
waist. The force of the current was
too much for the rope. 1t parted. and
the man waved the torn end toward the
crowd
There was still another chance-the
rope that was dropped from the lower
steel arch bridge. AS the foe went into
Swift Drift the man caught it and grim
~ hung on. He was given slack and he
tried to wind the rope about the wom-
ans waist. He fumbied in his agony OF
effort as If his hands were numb. The
rush of the ice in the stream was over
towering. When he could not tie the
rope about the woman he let 1t go.

Watching Doomed Trio.

Word that the ice bridge had gone
out flashed through the city and within
a short time the American shore of the
river was lined by thousands Of people,
who stood watching the moving foe
with the three helpless beings pass
slowly down the river.
Just above the old Maid of the Mist
landing, quarter Of a mile from the
whirlpool rapids, the foe on which the
three were borne broke into two Sec
tions, the man and woman on one, Hea-
cock on the. other. Heacock waved his
hand to- his companions In distress as
his foe moved clear Of the other and.
caught in a current, raced down the
river

Bow Falls Into the Rapids.

Kelly and his men pulled steadily. Ten
feet, twenty. twenty five, thirty feet, up
he came The great crowd on the bridges
cheered-those that were not weeping.
Grimly the boy hung on. trying always
to get his legs wound about the rope.
Then his hands began to slip: He sought
to get hold Of the rope with his teeth.
but could not. Finally. just as he was
about sixty feet clear Of the water, his
head fell back. He was utterly spent.
He lost his grip and plunged far down
into the stream.
When Heacock came UP his face turned
toward the great wave, and he feeDiy
moved his arms In the breast stroke.
But the mighty rush of water was too
much for him. He was caught like a
cork and sent racing on to the midst OF
the seething water For perhaps hall a
minute he was In view, and then he was
swallowed up in the spume.
Heacock's death was witnessed by the
man on the other foe. The woman ap-
parently dared not look. The man APP
peared calm as he in turn prepared to
make a play against death. as. caught
by q down-river current, the foe moved
into the course Heacock had gone.

Effort to Save Heacock.

Meanwhile firemen had hurried to the
cantilever bridge and had dropped
down two ropes to the ice. Heacock
saw the ropes dangling from the bridge
and made ready to catch one. He took
off his overcoat and posed himself on
the tossing foe. In his course there
dangled one rope, and second was
moved toward him. He caught one and
jumped free OIL the ice.
The sag of the rope at that great
drop, 200 feet, let him into the chilly
water up to his waist, and before he
was clear of 1t he was frightfully bat
tered by three successive foes OF 5utting
ice.
Not content with the efforts Of the
men above to draw him up, he tried to
assist himself hand over hand. The
time was 10 o'clock, and the hour
that the boy had been on the Ice and
effects of the Icy duckinE had Slapped
his strength He stopped trying to pull
himself up and hung limp on the rope,
whic.. spun him around like top.

1t is reported that persons catch
fish below the legal requirements and
instead of throwing them back into the
water take tn EN- home to eat. This
is wrong and should be stopped and
steps are being made through the
state fishing commission to get after
these yioIators of the law. This is
RIGHT and should be pushed 70 the
limit. Our streams are planted with
fish fry so that people can have the
pleasure of catching them. There is
a limit to the size for people making
use of them for eating purposes and
this law should be rigidly enforced. 1t
ia hoped that the authorities will be
able TO run down the violators and make
an example of them. If people want
to eat minnows let them buy sardines.

corporations attorney, Mr.. Brazeau,
asked that the question as to whe-
ther or not the defendant corpora

not go to the jury and said that it
was a question for the court to de-
eide. The jury was given a recess
until Saturday morning and the at

whether or not the question should
go to the jury. The argument was
continued Friday night and the prop
osition was finally taken under ad-

decided Saturday morning that there
was no grounds for action and the
case was dismissed. Goggins & Bra

SUBSTITUTES FOR THE
PNEUMATIC TIRE

1t is safe to say that no subject
has rec we'd more careful thought
and attention from inventors within
the last year than the tire problem.
But one of the scores of recently pa
tented devices is quite equal to the
plain artillery wheel fitted with pneu-
matte tire Most of the devices en-
plOy springs to take up the jar be-
tween the tire and the axle and use
solid rubber or similar material for
the actual tread of the tire. Ingen-
ious as many of these schemes are
they are bound to be less serYiceable
than the pneumatic tire due to the
number of moving parts which, are
subject to wear and breakage Further
more, there is a great tendency to ra
tie and jar whenever a small obstru-
ctiOn is met by the tire. So, although
the problem of substitution for pneu-
matte tires has not been entirely
solved, much work is being done and
it is apparently. only a matter OF time
until we may expect something even
better than the present pneumatic
tire. Scientific American.
