few In the SURF as the water drops below
60 rcgrees at this time of year. The
bathers were leaping about to keep warm.
One woman, was farther out than the
others. II was Miss Anna johnson, a
maid employed by Mrs. George Graham,
of Englewood, y. j. She had the morn
ing of and had gone In bathing
There came a cry from beyond the
breakers. The beach dips down abruptly
The woman had gone beyond her depth
Beck heard her cry and the cries of
the other bathers, none Of whom could
swim well enough, apparently, to at
tempt a rescue. He kicked off his ten
mis- shoes and, throwing off his coat
ran into the water.
When he got beyond the breakers a few
strokes brought him to the spot where
the woman had gone down. As she came
up he grasped her, and held her head
above water. Men came running along
the shore, and one of them dashed over
to the river and, climbing on the ietty,
waved frantically for a motorboat which
was rounding the point. The boat made
full speed for the point, where Beck and
Miss johnson were. He was having
hard time, and she struggled wildly In
her panic and several times she forced
his head under.
As she was dragged aboard the boat,
Beck made no attempt to get aboard
also. He seemed to think he could swim
ashore. The boat made quickly for the
jetty, and all on board gave their entire
attention to the resuscitation of Miss
johnson.
In the excitement Beck was forgotten
except by his sister. Those who heard
her cry out thought II was merely
through the excitement of watching the
rescue. When It was realized that she
was calling for some one to save her
brother, several men rushed out into the
surf but no trace of him could be found
He had gone down from sheer exhaus-
tion.

The report gives this quotation from a
letter from Mr.. Rockefeller TO Mr.. Bow
ers: you are fighting a good fight which
Is not only In the interest of your own
company but of the other companies of
Colorado and Of the business interests of
the entire country" To which Mr.. Bow
ers is said to have replied in letter after
letter picturinC the growth of trade
unionism as menace. Mr., Bowers is
unsparing In criticism OF a president who
would tolerate a former official Of a labor
union in his cabinet.
PRESIDENT DECEIVED.
Discussing the company's rejection of
President Wilson's plan for a settlement
of the strike, the report says.
"Mr. Rockefeller not only rebuffed the
President by denying his earnest request.
but, II the letters OF his agents may be
relied upon, he apparently deceived the
President and the public by means of
the company's letter of rejection" The
report then gives extracts from the let
ter written by President ]. f. Welborn
and Ivy l.. Lee, OF the Rockefeller star.
The report charged that present Colo
rado officials were elected through Rookie
teller political influence. and deals at
length with the defense Of John ID. Rock
efeller, Jr.. by w. L. Mackenzie King.
The abstract given out by West con-
cludes with an exhaustive discussion of
the causes Of the strike. as set forth by
the strikers.
CONVICTION DENOUNCED.
The report also enters into the con-
vietion OF John r. Lawson, member of
the executive board OF the United Mine
Workers of America, as a result of the
strikes In Colorado. The report states
that lawson. an innocent man. was con-
Meted by a suhsldlzed court and jury IN
reprleal for his activities In behalf OF the
miners. Lawson's conviction Is charae-
lerized IN the report as the erowninR In
famy OF all the Infamous record IN Col
orado Of American Institutions perverted
and deoauehed by selfish private inter-
ests."
