WATCHING THE WADERS
Samuel, Guardian of Play
ground Pool, Has His Troubles.
WlCKEDNESS AND WATER
Girls Who Persist in Rolling
Give Disciplinarian the
Greatest Trouble.

The job OF disciplinng the children VINO
frequent the playground at Hudson and
Leroy streets is no cinch; neither is Z a
sinecure. Take the word Of Samuel Roth,
New York's first and only wading master,
for that.
Samuel docs not have TO burden himself
with the disciplining business. What The
Park Department stationed him there for
was TO see that the children did not
drown in the six inches of water In the
wading pool that William J. Lee. super
visor of recreation. opened In that play
ground last week as an experiment, to be
followed in other Fairgrounds. II II sue
ceeded
Such is Samuels conscientious nature
that he is making IL a success, not only
az a joy producer, but as a means of tam
ing the youth of Greenwich Village.
See that red-halred kid over there"
said Samuel yesterday. lie stood on the
brink OF the pool, as he stands every day
from o'clock until 8, and shouted In tho
reporters ear to make himself heard
above the Joyous din Of some hfty-odd
youngsters splashing and yelling In the
water below. In his hand was a long,
supple lath with which he does a lot Of
threatening, but it is his boast that he
has never hit boy yet.
81 manage EN- without" he said. Now,
that red-halred kid. he was sure a tough
one when he came here tn day tn pool
was opened. He's pretty decent now, an
in two weeks time I'll have him as
smooth as silk. All YOU have to do is
be firm right from the start, an'-Ughi
Spio-o-sh! G-r-r-r! Who-o-sh-ee!
Samuel Hit Unawares.
The red-haired kid, ambling through the
pond, had encountered the pipe that sup
plies the water, and artlessly turned on
the same full blast. 1t struck Samuel's
face when his mouth was open. When he
recovered the red-haired kid was cutting
capers on the other side OF Leroy street.
Samuel glared after him, but apparently
concluded that as a Splinter he was no
match for a wiry gamin with nothing on
but bathing tights.
They're full OF the old Nick, but what
en- you expect when the mothers don't
look after EN-" he philosophical.
iii, there He fourlshed his lath at
a knot of boys who had stormed the girls
side. Though the Park Department gave
no instructions In the matter, Samucrs
sense Of what is proper led him to FIX on
imaginary dividing line for the sexes. The
boys imagination, not acting the same
as Samuel's. waders in abbreviated tights
are continually getting mixed, 10 his dis
tress. with waders in dripping calico
dresses.

RESCUED UNDER
A MOVING GAR
0ren f. Browning jr. Saved
by Friends Actien.

Prompt action and presence of
mind Of Rufus B. Allen, of Market
street, saved Oren Fogle Browning,
Jr., of 81 Water street, from serious
injury and perhape, the loss of his
leg. Browning was hit by Jersey
Central trolley car, going towards
the ferry at Smith and King streets
Saturday night at $50 O'Clock. Mo
torman yelling, who drove the car,
reported the accident to the police.
Browning's shoe was torn off and his
foot was lacerated, but no bones
were broken.
While with a number Of boys,
among whom was Rufus Allen.
Browning, who is member Of the
class of IA. Rutgers, forged ahead
and was leading the crowd of fell
lows, who started to cross Smith
street near King street. Henry
Roster, of Smith street, who was
in the party, saw the car coming and
yelled to Browning as he was near
the track. Oren says that before
he could turn to see the trolley, he
had been knocked down. 1t Is be-
lieved he was hit by the sand pipe
Oh Lu0 car, WHICH huOChtu nm uH
der 1t. Allen, Immediately grabbed
Browning by the collar and instead
of drawing him directly towards him
self, at right angle, he wisely drew
Browning along in the direction OF
the car for several yards and then by
a sudden jerk, brought Oren from
under the car. Another fortunate
thing for Oren was that he wore low
shoes, which were slightly too bic
for his feet. If Bunk" as Allen is
popularity known, would have drawn
Browning at right angle from un-
der the car, Browning would prob.
ably be minus lag. Allen was given
a rousing cheer after the accident
Browning's foot Is lacerated, but
no bones are broken. He is about
today on crutches, but expects tC
have the use of his injured foot be
fore the week end.

Chicago, Aug. 5:-Changing It's
early decision to give the contesting
delegates from Florida and Mississip-
pi seats in the National Progressive
convention without vote, the national
provision committee at noon today
voted to throw out both delegations
from Florida. That state will be
without representation in the con-
vention, according to the latest de-
cision.
In the case of the Mississippi con-
tests the committee voted to seo.t~the
lily-white delegates, but passed d
resolution saying that B. F. Bridge,
of Mississippi, did wrong in calling
convention for only white men. 1t
was understood that the white dele
gates from Georgia would be seated.
The final action of the committee
gives the negro neither seats nor
votes.
Francis Heney, of California, pre-
sented a resolution which was adopt
ed by the committee, providing that
in the future each state shall decide
qualification of contests upon its own
delegates. The committee approved
the letter written by Roosevelt to
Julian Harris upon the subject of
white leadership in the south.
