SEARCHERSFAIL TO
RECOVER BODY OF
RIVERS VICTIM
Harvey Roland browns in St.
Joseph When Boat CapSizeS
Near 0SCeOIa-TWO Com
paniOnS Are Rescued.

After day and a half devoted TO
the dragging of the St. Joseph river
IN the vicinity Of OsceOla in an effort
TO recover the body Of Harvey a. Ro-
land. who was drowned when the boat
IN which he and Frank Johnson and
Walter bartholomew were seated, was
capsized. officers from Elkhart and
Osceola reported that no trace Of the
body had been found.
That Johnson and Bartholomew es-
capped IS due 10 the heroic work OF
craft Siegerfuss. a farmer. who heard
the drowning mems cries and rushed
TO their aid.
Siege fuss was a short distance from
the river when he heard the first
cries for help from the men after
their boat capsized. He ran to the
rivers edge and saw the men strug-
Cling IN the water. Throwing off his
shOes he plunged in and swan to
their side. BY this time, II appears.
Roland had gone down for the last
time
Fights with Couple
Siegerfuss then busted himself with
the other two men who were fighting
desperately I'm the water. Neither
could swim well and only managed TO
keep their heads above the water.
When Siegerfuss neared them. each
frantically clutched at his throat.
between Siegerfuss and the two men.
Time and again he managed TO shake
them of by almost superhuman
strength. only TO have them sieze him
again. After many minutes OF fight
ing with the men and when he was
nearly exhausted himself. Siegerfuss
finally managed 20 keep them from
his throat and start them shorewards
by buoying them with his hands.
FTharr FaphIyy assisted with their little
remaining strength while Siegerfuss
padded with his feet.
BY this time Elliot who had also
heard the cries Of the men in the
water, reached the river bank after
a quarter OF a mile run and plunged
in to assist. He took Johnson in tow
while SiegeTfuss helped Bartholomew.
When the quartet reached shore all
fell 10 the ground barely able to move.
Search for Body.
Elliot left the three on the bank
and hurried for aid. The town Of
OsceOla and surrounding country soon
learned Of the accident and rushed
10 the river Boats were manned and
sent out 10 search for the body Of
Roland. Word was telephOned to
Elkhart which brought police from
that city I'm automobiles and several
boats and graphing hooks. The river
was dragged for over a mile in the
vicinity where the boat capsized all
during the afternoon and late into
the night, but the body could not be
located.
Johnson and Bartholomew were put
aboard an interurban car and taken
to Elkhart.
The three men left Elkhart early
in the morning and hired a boat near
Osceola to go fishing. According to
Johnson and Bartholomew the men
suddenly found themselves in a spot
where the water was choppy and
waves leaped into their boat While
maneuvering TO get out OF the treach-
erOus place the craft suddenly cap
sized and ali were hurled into the
water.
Roland was an ex-carpenter Of the
Lake Shore railway. He was As
years old.

FINANCE PLAN FOR
HOTEL IS COMPLETED
Bonds Aggregating 100000
Are Put on Market BY S.
w. StrauS & Co.

The financing Of the Oliver hotel
under it's new management has been
completed by the purchase of the first
mortgage six per cent bonds of the
Oliver hotel Co. by the mortgage and
bond banking house of S. w. Straus &
Co, Chicago and New York
The bonds. amounting TO 100000,
are being offered by S. w. Straus & Co.
at par and accrued interest, netting
the investor six per cent and are in
denominations of $10O, $500 and
$1,000. The bonds will mature Sc
rally in one 10 five years, from June
/. 1915, TO June 1, 1919, $4,000 being
paid off each year. The issue is Sc
cured by a closed first mortgage on all
the property of the company. both
real and personal, including the hotel
building its equipment and furnish
ings, power house, and SO year lease
hold estate, covering the site of the
hotel and the lot adjoining across the
alley.
The ground rent is $4,000 a year
for five years and $12, 500 for "a years.
The lease contains the provision that
If the adjoining lot in front Of the
power house is improved by the hotel
company within the next five years.
the ground rental shall at once in
crease to S12,500.
S. w. Straus & Co. state that they
have appraised the hotel building on
a very conservative basis at $350,00O,
which is three and a half times the
total amount of the bonds. The hotel
cost $640,20S TO construct and equip,
and has been kept in first class condi-
ton through an expenditure annually
of large amounts for repairs and
maintenance. The new owners of the
hotel anticipate net earnings of at
Vvh &c
than eight times the interest charge
on the bonds
Will Pay Income Tax.
A novel feature of the issue is the
fact that the Oliver Hotel Co. agrees
to pay the normal federal income tax
on the interest coupons. When the
income tax law went into effect It
contained a provision that any such
agreement after Nov 1, 1913, should
not be valid. The company, however
has agreed to reimburse any bond
holders for payment of the income
tax actually made on these coupons,
which attorneys state solves this diff
Guilty in a way satisfactory to in
yestOrs.
The Oliver hotel is one of the best
hotel properties in the United States"
said S. j. T. Straus, vice president of
=. w. Straus & Co, who is trustee of
the bond issue. There are few hotels
in New York or Chicago which main
tain such a high standard Of equip
ment and service as the Oliver. In
addition, South Bend is probably the
most prosperous city OF its size in the
middles west, and is bound TO con-
tinue to increase in population, activ-
ity and wealth in years to come. The
opening of the Lincoln highway will
be a great boom to South Bend. Ii
undoubtedly will bring thousands OF
tourists TO the city every year. For
this reason the owners of the Oliver
are planning to open large number
OF new rooms greatly increasing the
capacity and earning power of this
house"
