death by drowning in the post swim

tank for a plunge at an hour when the

one or two men in the enclosure and
rushed from the office of the exchange
and plunged in to the aid of the now

was at the bottom of the pool where
the water was some seven or eight
feet in depth and. with the assistance
of Sergeant Bates of NJ company, sue

shallow water and thence up on the
surrounding platform.
The -sergeants Immediately went to
work on the man with first aid prin-

near casualty was the result of a SOL

when in a heated condition and being
seized by a cramp that dragged him
down in water we'll over his depth.

Washington, July 81. - Presi-

much OF the shipping of the world
under the American flag during Eu-
ropean troubles by having congress
pass a law admitting to American reg
istration the vessels OF other nations.
I'D summoned Senator Kern and Rep
re$entative Underwood today to dis
c9ss the advisability of introducing
such bills in congress. Under exist
ing laws it is impossible for foreign
ships to take American registration.
In 1870, Germany and France were
on the eve Of war, and President
Grant took the position that the COM
mercial vessels of the United States
were not adequate to meet the de-
mands which a European war would
impose upon the commerce of the
United States.
