Cumberland Center, Me-, June L.
But for the bravery of Earle Porter,
16. Edison Mitchell would have lost
his life at Rose Pond Thursday fore
noon. A number of students from
Greeley Institute went to Rose Pond
for a swim, running the entire dis
lance. about three quarters of a mile.
They went directly into the water, al
though cautioned to wait until less
heated. When Mitchell reached the
middle of the pond, he was taken with
cramps and went down.
He went down for the third time be-
fore the boys missed him. Porter at once
began diving for him and succeeded IN
crashing him. Mitchell made desperate
struggles and as a result Porter is badly
scratched about the face and sides. He
succeeded in taking the boy, who had
lost consciousness 10 the shore, where
the bovs worked over him until he was
restored. Edison Mitchell is the son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Mitchell of Wal
nue. Hill and is a member of the gradual

Resolution Commit
tee Believed to Be
In Favor of the
Principle
Three Sessions Of Federation
: Now in Chicago Held Friday

=. Chicago, June 12.-Unless all signs
fail. a convention of the General Fed
Grafton of women's Clubs tomorrow,
for the first time, will face the ques-
ton of woman's suffrage for adoption
Z or rejection.
In the numerous conferences of this
: convention, the great strides made by
the Suffragettes in recent years were
recognized and it was agreed that en-
H1.ghtment on the subject might come
properly under the heading of educa-
( ton 1t is further ruled that the reso-
lutions shall deal only with those sub
-jects which have been discussed on
the floor. For this reason, Miss Helen
yarick Boswell of New York referred
in the briefest possible manner to the
subject at the educational conference
this afternoon. Although she scarcely
more than mentioned its existence, the
reference was sufficient to form the
entering wedge.
1t is believed that the resolutions
committee tomorrow will report in ia
! yor of the principle of equal suffrage.
This, it is said, will throw the fight
onto the floor.
Three convention sessions today cul-
minated in an address by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait of New York, president
: of the International Woman's Suffrage
Alliance The Suffragettes were pres
.ent In force and applauded the pres
entation of their views.
