its nine-days' wonder displayed for it
in inch-type headlines when the Daily
Wahaskan, rehearsing the story of the
New Orleans bank robbery. told of the
voluntary surrender of the robber, and
of his deportation to the southern city

Some few there were who took ex-
ceptions to Editor Randolph's editorial

surrender. and pleading for a suspen-
sion of judgment on the ground that
much might still be hoped for from a
man who had retraced a broad step

These papers reveal, it is said, that

II was stated here that Mr.. Riley or
dered these trips of convcts to cease.
He, it is said, has proof that this order
was violated more than once.
Other prisoners that the records
show received similar liberties were
Daniel O'Day, Ike" Sonnenberg and
George Stahl. ODay, who was convict

to not less than six years, rewarded the
warden for his kindness by trying TO

Just how far the investigation Of the

1t was stated here that most of the
stories concerning Sing Sing which
Warden Osborne has been denying have

KNOCKS NEGRO OUT,
THEN RESCUES HIN
Coney Island Waiter Battles
Ten Minutes with Drowning
Man in Surf.

The few persons who braved the rain
yesterday afternoon on the beach at
COney Island saw one of the most
thrilling rescues of the season. John
Collins. captain of the walters at the
Hotel Shelburne. battled for fifteen
minutes with John Pierce, q negro, be-
fore he could mock out the drowning
man and bring him to shore.
Pierce was 200 feet of the Ocean
Concourse using waterwings when &
wave dislodged them. Collins, an anna
teur wrestler and member of the ANA
teur Athletic Union and the Greek
American Athletic Club, was on the
beach. He heard the negro yell and
went 10 his assistance.
Collins was dragged down by the
drowning man. Those on the beach saw
the wrestler's arm fash in the air
several times when he reappeared, but
the blows with which he was attempting
to knock out the negro seemed to have
no effect at first.
Collins finally dragged Pierce to the
beach and a policeman applied the first
aid measures. The negro was taken
to the Coney Island Hospital in criti-
cal condition.
