After a thrilling struggle in a gale
on the storm-lashed Schuylkill river
at Norristown, Pa, four young women
in skiff were upset and three of
them drowned, while the fourth was
able to cling to the overturned boat
and kept afloat until rescuers came.
Helen, daughter of Rev. G. Wesley
Green, pastor of the Chestnut Hill
Methodist church; Mary, daughter OF
William Livergood, of Norristown, and
Emma, daughter of John M. Rex, OF
Norristown, were drowned, and 1t was
Margaret Green, sister of one of those
drowned, who saved herself by cling
ing to the boat.
The four, whose ages range under
thirty years, had been picnicking and
bathing at the head of Barbados
Island, a popular pleasure park in the
middle of the river, opposite the up
per end of Norristown. When the ter
rife storm approached they started
for the Swartley boathouse, where
they had hired the boat, a round-bot-
tom steel craft
They had gone several hundred
yards from the island boat landing,
when the storm broke in all its fury.
In their excitement, as Miss Margaret
Green and Miss Livergood were row.
ing, Miss Livergood's oar came out
of the lock. Either this dipped the
boat or the high wind caused the
waves to wash over the sides, and the
girls, panic-stricken, stood up in the
boat, and this caused the craft to go
down

HANDS OFF IN
MEXICO, WILSON IDEA
Recognition TO Wait on Peace
and Elections.

Consideration of the Mexican situa-
tion took much of the time of Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet at the
regular session.
Secretary Bryan had long confer
ence with the president before the
other members arrived. Although re-
ports are coming in from various
sources the administration is looking
forward to frst-hand information from
Ambassador Wilson, on his way from
Mevico City. 1t was again authorita-
lively said that the attitude the ad-
ministra.ion sill was unchanged.
It was reiterated that the cabinet
unanimously was n acco' d with the
president in waiting return to stable
conditions beore extending recognition.
Several officials said the cabinet had
from the beginning been of the opin-
ion that TIE changing conditions OF
Mexican politics warranted the hands
off" policy for some time to come,
Secretary Bryan authorized the as
sertion that he would cancel any lee
ture engagement which would conflict
with the conferences next week he and
the president will have with Ambassa-
dor Wilson.
Some of the members of the cabinet
were not inclined to think any action
would be taken following Ambassador
Wilson's conference, and reiterated
the belief that until elections were
held in Mexico and an appearance OF
peace was in sight formal recognition
probably would be withheld.

on the work.
The commissioner and his assistant
will devote all of their time to their
new duties, but the other two mem
bers of the board will retain their
present federal positions and act as
mediators only when called upon.
The Newlands bill, revising the Erd'
man law to provide arbitration OF wage
disputes in a manner satisfactory 10
railroads and their employees, passed
the house without.a roll call.
The bill was then hurried to the
senate, which was waiting to pass II
for President Wilson's signature. The
senate passed the bill without a roll
call and it was hurriedly prepared for
transmission to the White House.
Later the bill reached the White
House and soon afterward this state
ment was issued:
"The president signed the Newlands
act as soon as it reached the White
House and announced through his sec
retary, Mr.. Tumulty, that he would
proceed as soon as possible, consist
ent with the Importance of the ap-
pointments, to the selection OF the
commissioners of mediation as proyid-
ed in the act"
The new act would establish the
United States board of mediation and
Cancellation to consist of federal
commissioner of mediation and con:
ciliation and two other officials of the
government, to be designated by the
president.
This board would be appealed to to
intervene on a railroad labor dispute
by either party and would first use its
best efforts by media ation and concilia-
ton to hiring the disputants TO an
agreement. Failure would be TO lowed
by an attempt on the part of the board
to induce the parties to submit their
controversy to arbitration" and in
case arbitration was agreed to spe'
cial boards of either three or SIX me-
diators would be chosen by the rail
roads and the employees.
Arbitration under the new law would
be undertaken only after definite
agreement had been made by both
parties to abide by the decision of the
arbitration board for fixed period

BRYAN'S PAY AS LECTURER
Receives $3.50 For Each Speech and
Half Rcceipts Over $500.

On the eve of his departure fer his
summer speaking tour, Secretary Bry-
an took occasion to deny published
insinuations that he was using con-
nection with the Winona Conference
and Assembly of Winona to further
his own business of lecturing.
Mr.. Bryan denied that he is pres-
dent of this association, under the
auspices Of which he is to deliver on
Sunday afternoon his first speech Of
the summer mid-western series.
Mr. Bryan told the newspaper men
that by his speech at Mountain Lake
park on Thursday he made $3.50 and
expenses. Last summer he said his
Chautauqua receipts averaged $3.50 for
each speech delivered. The usual ar
rangement, according to Mr.. Bryan, is
that he takes the first $3.50 brought
in at the gate, the Chautauqua asso-
citation takes the next $3.50 paid in
and then he and the association split
even all the rest.

The civil court upheld the testator's

department will suffer because Mr..

sion arose." retorted Bristow, That
the state department is better off with
the secretary away than with him
here. But l believe If the secretary
would give to the problems before him
the powers of his great intellect, he
could perform a great service to the
country. Whether subordinates in his
department are better fitted to attend
