lBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. ]

Atlantic City, April 6.-The pre- Easter
demonstration on the Boardwalk this af-
ternoon came TO a sudden halt at o'clock,
when thousands participating in the pa

along the Boardwalk and made their way
out to the end of a ietty just above the
Steel Pier, off Virginia avenue.
The parade was at its height when a
scream came from the breakers two hun
pede TO the vicinity from squares around,
when word was relayed that a woman had
attempted suicide by a leap from the pier.
IL was discovered, however, that young
Hirsch had fallen from the jetty and his
companion had plunged 10 the rescue.
They were both drowning and their strug-
giles could be seen from the Boardwalk and
pier.
Walter II. Culprit, attired in overalls. had
been working on the pier. AS soon as he
ascertained what was wrong he darted to
rescue. The boys were then fighting for
life in twenty feet of water and in danger
OF having their skulls crushed against the
rocks of the tetty as the waves tossed
them about.
While excited thousands applauded, Gull
pit got Hirsch and fought his way back
toward the jetty. Waiting hands lifted the
motionless form from his grasp and he
turned about to bring in Raab. With diff
Guilty he accomplished this. The boys were
carried to an automobile and hurried to
the City Hospital. Both were revived after
q half hours work. Hirsch's condition is
serious.

SAY MORGAN BACKS OPPONENTS
Woodrow Wilson'S Managers Prepare
to Send Circulars Broadcast.

The managers of the Woodrow Wilson
campaign for the Democratic nomination
for President are about to send broadcast
circulars in an attempt 10 associate the
banking house Of ]. p. Morgan & Co. with
the opposition to Wilson. This is brought
about in the form OF a letter written BY
Alexander s. Bacon In which he refers TO
ex-senator Richard Francis Pettigrew, of
south Dakota. who has been sending out
much anti Wilson literature in his capacity
as one of the managers of the Champ
Clark boom.
After declaring that Pettgrew had al
ways been a servant of James J. Hill and
the Hill railroads. the letter goes on to say:
The bankers for the Hill lines and the
interests for years identified with the Hill
properties are ]. p. Morgan & Co. The
fact that Pettigrew IL taking the lead in
the crusade against Wilson lends consid.
erable weight TO an impression that is
pretty general as to the real forces nght-
ing Wilson. Wilson is the one man above
ali whom the special interests are deter
mined to defeat.

The charges are all false ,a,d n,
