SERGEANT FITCH SPRAINS
WRIST EXPLAINING SELF

Sergeant James D. Fitch, of the
Second precinct, had a hard time to
convince a disturber that he was an
officer of the law, and in driving home
his argument sprained his wrist. The
sergeant was walking on Bloomfield
avenue near Fourth street Saturday
night when he heard a young couple
demonstrating with two men who
blocked their path. James Reid, of
264 Broome street, and Thomas Foun-
tain, of 1890 Clinton avenue, Irving
ton, were the young men who
were causing the disturbance. Fitch
approached them and informed them
that he was an officer. He warned
them that unless they ceased inter-
ferfng with pedestrians he would
place them under arrest. Fountain
did not believe Fitch was an officer
and struck Fitch.
In the tussle which followed Reid
went to the assistance of his friend,
but Sergeant Fitch managed to hold
both men until the arrival of the po-
lice reserves in the Second precinct
auto patrol. During the scrimmage
Fitch sprained his wrist.
When arraigned today in the Sec
ond Precinct Court Judge Herr fined
Reid and Fountain $25 each.

"A father and his two sons, q young
woman prominent in social circles
and a young man, all of whom had
been made victims of an unusually
strong undertow. furnished series
of thrills within an hour yesterday
while the many thousands of men
and women were thronging the
Boardwalk In the largest Sunday
parade the famous esplanade has

The first of the rescues was that
of Charles Steen and his sons,
George and Frank, IA and IL years
old, respectively, New York vaca-
tionists, who were brought to shore
more dead than alive, after a thrill
ing battle that lasted for twenty
minutes.
The cheers of the crowd after this
rescue had scarcely died away when
the swirling currents caught Miss
Nettie Gill, about 20 years old, who
had entered the surf off South Caro-
lima avenue. The young woman
shouted loudly for help before she
disappeared beneath the surface of
the water for the second time, and
O'Toole and Wall, life guards, dived

place terminal of the short line, Ru-

sey City, a guard in the employ of
the railroad.

offender and should have been placed
under arrest. Gula also produced
several witnesses who corroborated
his story. Judge Herr dismissed the
complaint against Gula, who left the

for Coney Trip.

Following a severe reprimand from
her father for having spent yester-
day afternoon and evening at Coney

to kill herself by swallowing one-half
of bichloride of mercury tablet.
When Aaron Walters, the woman's
father, saw what his daughter had
done, he summoned the City Hospital
ambulance, but she refused to go 10
the hospital.
The ambulance surgeon admins
tered an antidote Immediately, and
this probably saved the woman's life.

of the Fourth precinct say the woman
took the mercury tablet in mistake
or another medicine, Mrs. Tott adj
mitted to an Evening Star reporter
tempt to end her life.
When asked about the quarrel with

WHEN A ROBBERY is NOT
A ROBBERY PUZZLES BREX

When is a robbery not a robbery
That is a question that Is bother
ing Detective Brex today. He is in
vestigating what on the surface
looks like a triple robbery, but which
according to the men supposed to
be the victims is no robbery at all.
A woman is said to have stolen
from two men, who in turn are be-
lieved to have robbed a saloonkeep-
er who, according to the police,
stole from a brewery.
Patrolman Dougherty saw a wom-
an taking a bottle from woodpile
in the rear Of 100 Chapel street. In
another moment he saw two men
taking bottles from the saloon of
John Galinskas at 100 Chapel
street. He thought the woman was
stealing from the men and the men
from the saloonkeeper, He locked
up the men, Stephen Krachin and
John Schraonz, of 1o2 Chapel street,
but was unable to locate the
woman
This was at 2 o'clock this morning.
At o'clock what looked like an
other robbery in the same place was
discovered. Galinskas, the proprie-
tor. had a wagon backed up and was
removing the goods. 1t developed,
according to the police. that Calm
skas was afraid the brewer who
owned some of the goods would see
him moving to new place in Long
Island.
In court, Galinskas said the two
men had bought seven bottles of
whiskey at o'clock today. How
they bought the goods when they
were in cells at the station house
he could not explain. but he denied
he had been robbed. The two pris-
oners in turn denied that they had
been robbed of the supposed loot;
they claimed that 1t was a friend
who had taken the whiskey with
their permission.
Judge Hahn, in view of the broken
door by which the men had got into
the saloon and the conflicting story
and suspicious moving done by the
saloonkeeper, ordered all three held
until Brex can unravel their stories
and find the brewer. who may be the
chief victim of the pulling rob-
berries.

TO PASS INTACT
So President Wilson Believes
After Hearing Measure Is
Still as Framed.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-President
Wilson believes the administration
currency bill will be reported by the
House banking committee substan-
TALLY as 1t was framed.
In discussing the situation with
callers today he made 1t clear that
the bill would not be materially al
tered and that the differences in the
committee would be reconciled. 1t Is
now practically certain that the adj
bill will be carried to the

measure. That is. the impression
gained at the White House from
those who have talked over the situa-
ton with the President.
Representative Wingo. of Arkansas
who previously had been classed
among the insurgent Democrats In
the House committee, was a White
House caller today. He predicted
that the administration bill without
any important changes would be re-
ported this week from the committee
and would be taken up next MONDAY
by the caucus and adopted In much
the same form.
Senator owen and Representative
Glass, chairmen of the congressional
committee on banking and currency,
had short conferences with the Presr
dent regarding the currency situation
Chairman Glass announced at the
White House that the program in his
committee would e to vote on the va
rious amendments to the administra-
ton bill. He counted on a vote of at
least ten to four for the administra-
ton measure.
