w. NJ. Harvey, a former merchant
of Poplar Bluff, while resisting the
attack of two robbers was thrown
bodily into the river this morning at
about / o'clock, and narrowly escaped
drowning.
He formed an acquaintance with
his assailants at restaurant .yester-
day morning, and the trio stayed to-
gether throughout the day, visiting
various sections of the city.
l., One of his. newly ., formed -aequain-
tanees stated that he was expecting Il
friend to come on the train from st.
Louis, due. in this city at about 1:2O
a. M, and they all agreed to sit up
and wait for its arrival.
They grew tired waiting around the
depot and it was finally suggested by
one of the two pretended friends that
they walk down to the waters edge
and sit on the river bank.
Without the slightest suspicion,
Harvey accompanied them down the
levee, where they secured comforta-
BILE seat on the rock wall. While they
were discussing general topics, with
out word of warning, the unsuspect-
ing Harvey was suddenly seized by
each arm and thrown backward onto
the rocks.
They attempted to choke him into
submission, but being a powerful man
they were unable to hold him down
long enough to deprive him of his
money.
Finally realizing the futility of
their efforts, and probably wishing to
avoid being reported to the police, it
was suggested by one of them that
they drown him, and with powerful
effort they succeeded in throwing him
over the rocks and into the river.
After a desperate struggle, Mr.
Harvey, who is a poor swimmer, sue
ceeded in getting ashore in a greatly
exhausted condition.
The first man he met after his
thrilling experience was John Harris,
one Of the proprietors Of the Terminal
Hotel. Mr.. Harris was standing in
The Cape weekly tribune. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1914, 1914-08-28

frontof his place of business when
Harvey came up the river bank and
related the story Of his misfortune.
Mr. Harris stated that he complain
ed of having received hard blow on
the back of his head in the struggle
preceding the attempt.to drown him.
Harvey tSeT sought Policeman Fred
kain, who later in an interview with
a. Tribune representative, made the
statement that he did not know the
mans name, and that he had such lit
,s.ie faith in the story as told, that he
did not think it worth while to learn
his name.
When asked if he knew the names
of the men guilty Of .the assault, the
officer stated that he did not even
ask him whether he was assaulted or
not. He said that he didn't ask for
any of the particulars and did not care
to know them. When questioned as to
whether the mans clothing was wet
or dry, he said that they were wet
and that he told the man to go to a
hotel somewhere and go to bed and
get warm.
Mr.. Harris stated that the man
was wringing wet and that he was
shivering so violently from the chill
that he could scarcely speak.
After leaving the policeman, Mr.
Harvey went to the Prescott Hotel
and procured a room and some dry
clothing and it was there that he re-
lated his story.
This is the second time within three
weeks that robbers have thrown their
victims into the river, and on both oc-
casions the watchman has excused his
failure to capture the criminals by re-
fusing to place any credence in the
stories related to him by the ag-
grieved parties.
The robbers failed to get any money
from Mr.. Harvey, although they l,new
hat he carried considerable amount
about his person.
No attempt has been made toward
the apprehension of the ,Murderous
thieves, and in all probability the mat
ter will be dropped.

With and Recalls War
Of 1912.

London, Aug. 27-The Daily Chron-
Lcle in long article warns the Eng
lish Government OF the danger of
England becoming embroiled with the
United States over questions of con-
traband of war and argues that any
estrangement between the two coun-
tries would be the extreme OF bad
management.
at must be the guiding principle of
the British Government" the article
says, "to direct its naval policy so
that we may not become embroiled
with any neutral power. In nearly ev-
cry war of the last two centuries we
incurred this danger.
"The only really powerful neutral
of the present time is the United
States. If there is a wise statesman
ship we shall remain in perfect amity
with the power, as well as with the
Ntherlands, which possesses the
great gateway leading to the heart OF
Germany.
"The United States possess the
right to send cargoes to Rotterdam
and will exercise that right. We must
be prepared to see neutral American
vessels discharging cargoes in Hol-
land ports. Many questions are likely
to arise regarding the exclusion OF
absolute or conditional contraband-
| that is, things that may be used by
the German naval and military forces
ut has been the British practice tC
regard as liable to capture any con
traband cargoes concerning which il
would be proved they had an ulteriol
hostile destination. 1t is evident thai
this provision presents a very rea
danger, as the character of a cargo
can only be ascertained by excisinG
the right of search, which the United
States has strongly resisted anC
which was the cause Of the war Of
1912. sat-.

Judgment will be needed in such a cast
to avoid dispute and a misunder

at has been suggested that we al
low food ships to enter Dutch ports
on the mere declaration that theil
cargoes are not in transit to the enc
my. Whether such declaration would
be sufficient it is difficult to say, bu'
it is evident that the officers of the
fleet should have very definite in
structions on these points to avoit
any estrangement."
