DROWNING IN POOL
Miss Stella Wiseman is Taken
From Water After Sinking
Twice.

Stella Wiseman, a i6-year-old girl,
whose home is in Haarig, was seized
with cramps while bsthing in the Hely
pool yesterday afternoon, and was in
a drowning condition when rescued by
Arthur Metz.
A party of young people had mo-
tored down to the bathing pool, where
they entered the water. Miss Wise
man, who cannot swim, did not VEN
ture into the center OF the pool with
her companions, but remained in the
shallow water near the edge.
The attention of her companions
was suddenly directed to her when
they heard her scream, and when they
looked they could see her struggling
in the water
Mr.. Metz hurried to her rescue, and
before his arrival she ceased strug-
Cling, and for few seconds appeared
to be floating on the surface of the
water, after which she sank, but arose
to the surface just as Mr.. Metz ar
rived.
He seized the girl and carried her to
the bank of the pool where the water
was pumped from her lungs by res
piratory movements, after which she
revived sufficiently to be removed to
her home where medical attention was
given her.
Homer Perkey, a young man living
in Haarig, and employed in the local
shoe factory, walked down to the pool
after returning from his work yester-
day afternoon. When he arrived at
the swimming hole he entered box
car and changed his street attire for
his bathing suit.
He left his clothing in the car when
he took his plunge. While he was en-
ioying his swim, switch engine cOu-
pied onto the box car and moved it to
town before he realized that he had
been deprived of his dry garments.
One of the colored labOrers at the
rock crusher loaned Mr.. Perkey rain
coat to wear to town.
Ben White, a switchman IN the
yards, recovered the missing clothing
and delivered it to Mr.. Perkey last
night

DR.. Patton And

Real Boil Fight
Tinsley Offers to Bet He
Could Milk Male Bovine
and Moving Picture Men
Take His Picture.

DR.. w. C. Patton and A. NJ. Tinsley,
who are in California as Cape Girar-
deau exhibits to the Worlds Fair, have
broken into the moving picture stage,
according to message from DR.. Pat
ton to Charles H. Overstolz yesterday.
While in San Diego, Calf, a few
days ago, DR.. Patton stated, they
"tOok in" bull fight. Four male bo-
vines of Spanish ancestry were pitted
against several matadores. "Of course
all was tension" Whole the physician,
land extreme excitement. They were
wild, furious untamable bulls.
'Tinsley became so excited over the
battle that he got completely out from
under my control. And while in this
unmanageable state, he leaped out in
the middle of the grandstand and of
fered to bet money that he could milk
any bull in the ring in just four min
utes.
Everybody knew he was in earnest
and consequently his offer was not
accepted. But moving picture man
snapped him while in action and l got
into the screen as Tinsley's manager.
Our pictures will now be shown to the
visitors at the fair"
The bull fight was the only exciting
event they have witnessed since leav-
ing Missouri. Saturday, July 10, they
motored from Los Angeles to San
Diego, a distance of 1870 miles. The
major part Of this trip followed the
coast or ocean.
Mr.. Overstolz gave DIR. Patton and
Mr.. Tinsley letter of introduction to
Nathan Cole, a former Missourian
who is now the National Republican
committeeman from California. They
met him in San Francisco and also
were entertained by Capt. Tom Fris-
sell, of the United States Army, who
is stationed in Los Angeles.
Both DIR. Patton and Mr. Tinsley are
enjoying good health. They claim to
have already Missourized the Worlds
Fair, and are now attending the Elks
convention which is meeting in Los
| Angeles.

TORPEDO TO BE GUIDED
BY WIRELESS, L. S. PLANS
One of First Devices to Be Called to
Attention of New Advisory
Board.

Glouchester, Mass, July 16-One of
the first new scientific devices to be
considered by the Advisory Board
headed by Thomas A. Edison, it is be-
lieved, will be a wireless-cOntrOlled
torpedo, an invention of John Hays
Hammond Jr., son of the noted mining
engineer
Young Hammond announced yester-
day that Secretary of War Garrison,
following tie recommendations of
United States naval experts, had de-
cided to buy his invention. Foreign
governments, including all those at
war, have asked for options on the de-
vice, but Hammond gave the United
States Government first choice.
Four Years ago summer residents of
GlOuchester were amazed at the freak
ish actions Of an old housebOat, 40
feet long by II feet wide, which, with
out apparent human direction, without
a human being on board to guide her,
speeded about the harhor in all direc-
tions, always keeping clear of other
craft Then it was found that young
Hammond, sitting on the piazza of his
fathers bungalow, was directing all
the old boats movements by pressing
a wireless key. He could make the old
boat go to right or left, cut circles and
even hit a spar target.
Col. r. P. Davis, Capt. Francis J.
Behr and Lieut.. S. NJ. Decker of the
United States army have been making
exhaustive tests of the invention for
some time. Many boats have been
used. Hammond's last boat, the Ma
ala, was completely responsive to his
wireless key when eight miles off
shore, and once, the claim is made,
Hammond was able to direct the Ma
tala perfectly by his wireless inven-
ton when she was off Graves Light,
Is miles from shore.
Ire proposition is that with this de-
vice, fleet after fleet of accurately
torpedoes could be sent out
from shore against invading warships,
to the utter destruction of the enemy.
While the full details of the invention
are held secret, it is known that by the
pressure of his wireless key Hammond
sends forth light waves, which, strik-
ing upon silenium plate on boat or
controls its movements.

MAN ASLEEP ALMOST
STRUCK BY A TRAIN
Removed From Under Wheels As
Frisco Passenger Comes to
Standstll.

Monroe Dunning of Advance was
found this morning by officers White
ner and Talley, lying across the rail
road track Just east of the depot, I'M
der the wheels Of the express car that
had been set out on the arrival of pas
senger train No. sos.
The officers were attracted by
groans coming from under the car and
when they investigated they found the
young man stretched out, unconscious.
His hat was lying in the center of the
track, one of his arms was against
the wheel and his head was resting on
the rail.
1t was thought that he had been
struck and killed when the car was
relied up against him, and Conductor
Brownfield expressed the belief that
the car had struck him. He was Ic-
moved from his perilous position by
the officers, and when an examination
was made, there were no discernablc
marks of injury upon his body.
He was found to be in stupor and
was not conscious of his narrow es-
cape. He was identified by Night OPP
orator Smith, as Monroe Dunning, of
Advance. Smith informed the officers
that there were two others in the par
ty. A search was made by the off
GERS and the other two, John Dunning
and Henry Coots, were found sleep
ing on the river bank near the depot.
The three were placed in the bus
and delivered to the city Jail.
