Address Causes Mistake.

The mysterious telephone call which
Moline police received yesterday af-
ternoon from some woman who stated
that a man had drowned in the Mis-
sissippi river when his boat capsized,
was not fathomed until about ) o'clock
the same afternoon. At the time of
receiving the call the local police pa
troll rushed to Thirty-eighth street,
where the woman had said the drown
ing occurred. but though the shore was
patrolled for some distance. nothing to
substantiate the information could be
found and the patrol returned to the
station.
At about D o'clock in the afternoon.
however. r. H Avise, 1881 Twenty
ninth avenue, appeared at the police
that William Geest, a molder at the
Root & Van Dervoort plant. had drown
ed in the Mississippi river at the foot
of Fifty-fifth street, instead of Thirty
eighth.
The body was recovered at noon to-
day opposite the foot of Forty-fourth
street. /
Taken to 6etteudorf.
Notification of the report that a man
had been drowned was delayed so long
that the police believed they had been

BRAIN WORK HELD WORSE
THAN PHYSICAL LABOR

Paris. France. June 29.-That brain
workers are more really fatigued than
those engaged in physical toll is the
conclusion reached by Prof. J. NJ. La
haye. who read a report last week be-
fore the Academy of Medicine describ-
ing his researches on the state of
blood pressure In various cases OF IA
tigue. mental and physical.
Not only does the pressure vary ac-
cording TO the quality OF the fatigue so
that Professor Lahaye claims TO be
able TO determine a mans profession
from experiments with his blood at
the conclusion OF the days work but
the pressure even indicates whether
the worker is honestly doing his ut
most or merely idling.
Professor Lahaye finds that the
pressure Increases considerably from
mental fatigue. but is hardly affected
by physical effort. thus. while a new
terror may be introduced int othe lives
OF lazy members OF an office stan. fac
tory employees have no need for appre-
hension.

a wing dam in the middle of the river
and were not rescued from their peril
GUS position for more than an hour.
They were taken off in a skiff which
put out from Bettendorf, and then had
TO take a car from that place back to
Moline, not arriving here until two
hours after the accident. AS a result
no one on the Illinois side of the river
knew of the accident until these men
reached here, with the possible excep-
ton of the woman who telephoned to
the police, and she could not be found.
Confusion as TO the names OF the
streets in the vicinity of the drowning
man was the result of the misleading
information reaching the police.
Waves Upset Boat.
The accident in which Geest lost his
life occurred early in the afternoon,
when he. in company with two other
men heretofore mentioned, went out
for a short motor boat cruise Most
motor boats held close to the shore
as a brisk northern wind was sweep
ing over the river, making il danger
Gus for small craft. Many outing par
ties postponed their trip altogether on
account OF the roughness of the water
but the three men who met with the
accident recklessly kept to the chan
mel
The boat was at distance of about |
200 feet from the Illinois shore when !
1 large wave washed over it, filling il |
and causing the men to think that it |
vas going to sink. Geest leaped into |
he river and started to swim to the !
Illinois shore. He had traversed about |
,nly a third OF the distance when he
seemed to lose strength. and turning
Iround to come back to the boat. which
vas still floating He went down be-
ore he reached it and drowned with

The boat kept afoat. and the other
wo men remained in it until a wing
