Come On Kids Its Swimming
Time at Leeper Park Pool

bathing suit and several others wore
bathing caps. but there seemed to be
an inclination to regard those things
as ostentatious
Fine Clothes a Handicap.
Two little girls, starched, rufhed
and superlatively fine, stood upon the
edge OF the pool. They looked long
and enviously at the half grown mer-
maids sprawling in the water.
do they rent bathing suits here ?"
inquired one of the girls. Her ques-
ton was directed at a veritable little
white Topsy who was cutting frenzied
capers in the water.
do dey rent bathin' suits here ?"
yelled Topsy in derision. "Ah gee,
of course dey does. But it amt every
one what can afford suit like
mine" She pointed to a rag OF a
petticoat that covered her lanky form.
Topsy was having her first lesson in
swimming. Her teacher was a little
curly-headed girl perhaps a year
younger than herself.
She can't never learn TO swim,
small boy standing near me on the
edge. remarked contemptuously,
Then he looked at me and inquired
apologetically. rs she your kid?"
Topsy responded TO his compliment
with a Scat, you get out Of here:
you're mOre'n eight years old" Boys
above eight are under a ban at the
pool.
Between Two Fires.
Topsy Was without doubt the
noisiest and most aggressive of the
swimmers. The most timid was
little tow-headed girl Of four sum-
mers. Either she was pulling up her
little wisp of a dress TO keep il from
touching the water or she was re-
treating into the shadows 10 keep the
water from coming up to her skirt.
When a youngsters teeth began to
chatter she lodged out Of the water
and rolled herself in the warm sand
by the pool. Heads and all, they bur
rowed into il and piled il over their
bodies and limbs. Then when they
were coated thick they dashed back
into the water to begin all over again.
A few grown people watched the
children curiously and enviously.
I'D like TO try it myself" said one
woman. with a sigh for the days that
are gone.

SAYS FARMS SHE
BOUGHT NO GOOD
Woman Sues to Have Deeds to
Land Set ASide-EIkhart
Man Handled Deal.

Charging that she has been the vic
tim of a gross fraud in a real estate
transaction. Albertina Keck has filed
suit in the circuit court TO have a deed
to property in South Bend worth $1O,-
600 executed to Rosa Adamek through
Miles Reid. set aside and declared
void.
Reid is a real estate dealer in Elk
hart, and Mrs. Adamek lives in North
Star, Mich. According to the COM
plant Mrs. Keck was to receive deeds
to four farms in exchange for her
city property. The property included
a farm in Elkhart of 70 acres, one in
Newago county, Michigan, of 100
acres, Jackson county. TVS, 200 acres
beside a tract in Georgia. There are
mortgages on two of the properties
for a total Of 1854 according to
Reds representations, the complaint
says.
Mrs. Keck alleges that the land was
supposed to be tillable, but that she
found it worthless, that it was en-
numbered for more than it was worth
and that the tract in Georgia in fact,
did not exist. She says she was sup
posed to get deeds to the property but
in fact only received contracts inn
posing conditions.
Mrs Keck alleges she was damaged
in the sum Of $4,000 by the trans
action and demands that the deed she
executed be set aside.
The suit Of Margaret Fischer
against William and Frederick
Fischer demanding a deed be set
aside on the ground of fraud, which
was filed in the superior court some
time ago, has been transferred to the
circuit court.

Detectives Say Inquest Was a
Farce and Verdict UniuSti-
fied-WiII be Tried Anew.
ASK THAT GIRLS BODY
BE TAKEN FROM GRAVE
Hot Quarrel Follows Jury AC-
ton and Sensational De-
veIopments May be Forth
coming.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, July IL
The mystery surrounding the death
of Alice Crispell, whose body was
found in Harveys lake Monday, was
complicated Friday by a bitter fight
between the district attorneys office
and the coroner, which promises to
lead to sensational developments.
1.-The coroner and his jury acted
illegally in bringing a verdict, and
it was what l expected" said Detec-
tive McKelvey of the district attor-
ney's force. THE coroner's jury is
to determine the cause of death and
who committed the crime, if possible,
but not who is innocent of the crime.
When L saw three of the coroner's
deputies on the jury 1 didn't try to
get a verdict"
McKelvey says he has enough evil
dence to hold Johns at the court
hearing Friday night and promises TO
spring a few sensations.
William Crispell. father of the girl,
is being closely watched. Crispell
claims that he was in his home at the
time OF the affair.
McKelvey declared Friday he
would ask for a disinterment of the
body Of the dead girl. He says many
important matters were overlooked
when the body was first examined.
II believe Alice Crispell was muir
dered but the failure of the detectives
to produce any tangible evidence at
the inquest Justices the verdict" was
Coroner Marleys reply TO McKelvey.
The section OF the verdict that the
crime may never be solved, is 2 slap
at the inefficiency of the detectives,
says Marley.
Johns was present at the inquest and
was identified by several of the wit
nesses who saw him with the girl on
the night of July 4. He was not al
lowed to testify by his counsel and
was returned TO the Jail although he
will probably be released Friday.
After declaring their belief that the
girl had been murdered the jury in
it's finding said: THE evidence in this
case fails to show any motive for
crime on the part of Herbert Johns,
and we feel certain that when we con-
slider the evidence. which showed the
deceased to have always had a cheer
full nature and therefore not subject to
morose. spells and therefore not liable
TO take her own life, that a crime has
been committe. However, we feel
that this. as other crimes of its kind,
will never be discovered. but some evil
dence of guilt may subsequently be
brought TO light resulting in just pun
ishment for the culprit."

Mother, may / go out to swim?

Mother, may / go out to swim?
oh, yes, my darling daughter"
The famous advisory clause which
mother attached TO her consent is
omitted in these days of modern con-
trivances in South Bend.
Swimming has become safe and
sane and mother merely gives daugh-
ter her Oldest apron and pair of
boomers and tells her TO be home by
o'clock. Daughter, with hop, skip
and a jump, is off for the swimming
pool in Leeper park.
On the way she meets three or four
little girl pals bound for the same
place. 1t takes but a minute in the
seclusion of the little bath house, TO
done the miscellaneous garments that
do duty as swimming attire.
With a bound they are balancing
themselves on the stone rim Of the
pool Then there is a jump, a splash.
and a giggle, and the girls are Hound
ering like so many little water
spaniels in the middle of the pool.
Age Limit Is Fixed.
The shallowness of the pool estab-
fishes an age limit. but girl of
twelve. if she isn't so very large, can
swim a little if she stays in the very
middle.
The pool was a tsngle of sprawling
arms and legs when 1 strayed there
thursday dllC lOAl NllC COn-
fusion bobbing heads arose every
once in a while. Water splashed back
and forth and there was an intermit-
tent chorus of squeals and giggles.
A fringe of very little boys and
girls around the edge Of the pool
padded and splashed in the shallow
water the older ones scorned.
Newport has nothing TO say as to
the style Of bathing suit that may be
worn at the pool. An apron and
pair of boomers are the accepted
fashion. And the apron may be
faded and almost torn in twain with
out impairing it's suitableness. In lieu
of an apron some of the girls are
wearing a petticoat with sleeveless
waist
Among the very tiny folks rompers
or a little cotton slip is considered
adequate. One of the larger girls in
the pool on Thursday had regular
