during the afternoon and returned
from the river about 3.l5 p. m. 1t
seems that on the way home he met
Miss Christine Vaughn, WHO said she
would like TO go skating. Nickcrson
was apparently fond of the sport and
he told her he would procure some
skates for her, which he accordingly
did going to his home to get his sis
ter's. His sister also accompanied
him back and the three young people
started for the ice about $40.
Nickerson and Miss Vaughn start
ted to 20 across the river and had not
gone more than 80 feet from the shore
when the ice began to crack, letting
them both into the icy water. Nick
erson could not swim but he managed
to keep his companion near the edge
of the ice so that she could support
herself The sister ran for home and
was seen by ". Oliver. who fearing
trouble, rushed out OF the house to-
sether with his brother George Their
house faced the river and they hasten
ed to its banks but just as they reach
ed there they saw Nickerson disappear
rom sight With some considerable
difficulty, the brothers succeeded in
pulling Miss Vaughn from her danger
Gus position but the body of the IN
fortunate young man was not found
until the river was dragged for about
a half an hour When located, it vas
not far from the spot where it Went
down.
The deceased Was the som Of James
Nickerson, Sr, of Fairfield. and was
popular amous his acquaintance in
that town. He was employed on the
electric car at the Fairfield Pulp mill

Old STORY

There comes time in the history of
every village when the demand for mod
ern public utilities far exceeds the
equipment. Sometimes it is the ques-
ton of sewage, sometimes of water sup
ply. but in every case it takes an awak-
ening to get the desired improvement:
When the death rate increases to an
alarming extent, when the local school,
college. or manufacturing PLAINTIFF
pride Of the community left in ashes,
then the people awake and demand
adequate protection.
Tuesdays loss of the Clio Manufac-
turing Co. was loss to the entire COM
munity and demonstrated the inadeqacy
of our fire fighting apparatus.
At the start the line of hose was
strung from the cistern near the S. & F.
waiting room and reached half way to
the scene of the fire when the supply
was exhausted. Then, it being ascer-
tanned that there was a cistern nearer
the conflagration, it was changed to the
one at the corner of Center and Bluff
streets. After again connecting up 1T
was found that the necessary nozzle
was missing and man was dispatched
to the fire station for it.
Finally. upon application of the neces-
:sary amount of muscle to the pump, a
stream of water was produced flor a
time] that would put out a match al
right but had very little effect on larger
timbers. Then the pump became ex-
hausted and the water necessary to pro-
tect ncighboring property was supplied
by the bucketfuL
From figures obtained from influen-
tial business men of this place it ap-
pears that the Clio Manufacturing Co
gave employment to about one tenth of
the laboring population Of the village.
Now compare these figures with those
OF the larger cities and what have we?
An industry that. according to popu-
iation, exceeds the average of the larg-
est concerns in the country.
This is the crisis which arises in all
places in every age and should be met
with serious thought and consideration.
Who bears the greatest expense of
public Improvement?
The business men and the property
owners!
Who loses the greatest amount
through casualties on-preventable by
Inadequate public utilities?
The business men and the property
ownersl
We have an electric power plant which
would supply power for pumping at 4
minimum cost. WHY not have an up
to-date water system in Clio?

INSULTING THE FLAG.

1t is about time to take in hand the hoodlums
who, either as socialists or Industrial Workers
OF the World, insult the American flag. Plainly
they are anarchists and such aggravated disre-
spect for the national emblem as that reported
from New York and Seattle should be regarded
as an offense meriting severe punishment
Every agtator whose sneers at the fac lead
more irresponsible ruffians to trample it and raise
the red ensign in its place should be arrested
and given job on chain gang If for no other
cause, he could be taken into custody as a dis
turber of the peace and given SIX months SEN
tenee that might teach him that the colors stand
for law and order whatever his hair-brained no
tons may be-
All the protests one hears about denial of the
right of free speech is arrant nonsense Most
of those who rally to the emblem of anarchy
and participate in demonstrations such as that
which recently occurred in San Diego are worth
less lOafers who think the world owes them
living and wouldn't do an honest days work if
it were offered them.
1t makes no difference what sort of organi-
cation a man belongs to or what propaganda has
caught his fancy and turned his head. If he de-
sires to live under the American flag he must
respect it and there are plenty of laws that
can be invoked to make him do so.

RESULTS OF TITANIC INQUEST.

Much criticism Of the senate inquiry into the
loss of the Titanic has come from England While
the committee might have improved its methods in
some respects, the inquest justified and much
valuable information was obtained at the right
time 1t remains for the British authorizes
to do their part They have unlimited power
TO probe the matter to the bottom, and in some
respects they viii have better chance to get the
whole truth out of the witnesses than our senate
committee enjoyed.
One point remains to be cleared up, the
question of what cable, telegraph or wireless mes
sages were received in London other than the
false reports that the Titanic was being towed
TO Halifax and all on board were safe. The New
York Commercial was the first paper to call at
tentlon to the possibility of a reinsurance coup
by those who knew what had actually happened.
As the British government has control over the
telegraph wires and parliament can order any
thing under the sun to be done because no consti-
tuition limits ITS powers, this point should be clear
ed up more easily by them than it can be ON this
side of the ocean.
One OF the results of all this publicity is the
exposure of the fact that many boats which Div
IN waters adjacent to New York do not carry
boats capable of holding one-tenth of the passet
gers they are licensed to carry; and everyone
knows that their maximum capacity is taxed
every fine Sunday and holiday throughout the
summer. Their only safeguards are the life belts
and these are under suspicion. On English yes
sells the life belts are filled with solid cork which
Is much more reliable than the ground cork per-
mitted under American rules
Recent disclosures prove that more remains
to be done to safeguard life on vessels in New
York bay than on the transatlantic liners The
latter are well supplied with good life belts and
are adding boats and life RATS as fast as possible
An International conference will probably results
IN standardizing lfe-saving equipments, and some
arrangement may possibly be made for running
IN pairs across the Atlantic. But the authorities
here must move quickly if our local boats are to
be made secure. The Slocum disaster seems to
have been forgotten.
