RIPPED PETTICOATS
TO RESCUE MAN
Nine Young Women Saved a New
Yorker Who Faced 3OO-Foot Fall
Into the River.

CALDWELL, n. j., Feb. 23.-Har-
ry Reiter of East 117th street, Now
York, owes his life to the fact that
nine young women of New York tore
their petticoats into strips and made
a lifeline for him when he fell from
the top Of Hook mountain yesterday
afternoon.
Reiter, who is stopping at the Sun
rise Mountain House at Pine Brook,
came here a few days ago for rest.
He is fond of moun"ain climbing and
the mere fact that large delegation
of young women arrived Saturday to
spend the holidays at the house did
not deter him from taking his usual
afternoon stroll alone.
In the party of young women who
came to the MOTEL were Miss Ruth
Levy, Miss Hannah Goldberg, Miss
Seller. Miss Maude Lewis, Miss Min
ME and Dorothy Shrea, Miss Rose
Lascovitz, Miss Dorothy Warner, Miss
Edith Singer, all of Manhattan. and
Miss Rosetta Davis of San Francisco
Reiter struck the trail for Indian
Rock, which is about a mile from the
house. 1t is a dangerous spot. Three
hundred feet below flows the Passaic
river, almost a straight drop from the
edge of the rock Reiter was alone.
At least he thought so. until he turned
and discovered that the young WON
en- he thought he had left behind him,
were climbing up only q short dis
! tance away.
| Perhaps it was this that made hin,
| start. perhaps it was just hard luck
| that made small rock give way un.
! der his feet. Anyway, he and the
partvo + Young women had hardly ex
! changed chances when they saw Reitel
| drop out OF sight below the rock. The
Young women screamed and then, led
bv Miss Levy. they hurried tt the
top of the cliff and looked down.
Instead of seeing something splash
into the Passaic. they got view Of
| Reiter clinging to = segment of Hool
mountain that projected just fa-
enough to keep him from continuing
his downward journey He had drop
ped only 30 feet, but there was n
telling how soon he would loose hi
grip and 20 the rest of the way.
s'Get rope. - one of the youn}
women suggested, but Miss Levy We
toed that 1t was a mile to the Noun
tain House and Reiter would be los
before the swiftest runner in tn
party could get back with a rope.

She said. and in an instant what wa
once perfectly good petticoat wa

ample, while Miss Levy bent over til
cliff and called words of encourage
ment to Reiter.
1t was the work of = few minute
to get the lifeline finished. Then a
end was paid out until Reiter coul

Chapman Concert

People who attended the Portland or
gan concerts last winter will remember
the wonderful violinist who vas one OF
the soloists. Valentino Crespi is not a
player one soon forgets, and coming as
she did almost unknown. she made an
indelible impression One recalls a very
young. girlish appearing person, modest
and unassuming in her manner, ard with
no attempt at showiness In her playing
Surely Miss Crespi must have a musical
and poetcal temperament to play a. she
does. There is in her tones something
OF the warmth and color OF her own
country, for she is an italian by birth.
Her technique indicates that notwi.h-
standing her youth, she has put much
time into the study of her instrument
be a privilege for Augusta people to hear
this rare little musician when Director
Chapman brings her here the evening
OF March for his annual concert She
would be a great drawing card II there
were no greater attraction. but this con-
cert will also have a prima donna, Nina
Aorgana. whom some OF the biggest op-
cratic managers have deemed worth
making strenuous efforts to head their
companies. It is a piece Of good for
tune for Mr.. Chapman and Maine people
that he was able TO secure her for these
concerts. Charles Floyd. the popular
New York tenor, for the third artists,
was wise choice. Surely Mr.. Chapman
and Augusta will have concert this
year Of which to be proud.-Advt.

age shall be determined by the inspector

in case the owner OF such building shall
be dissatisfied with the decision OF the

ing is damaged to greater extent than
half OF Its value, exclusive Of the value
of the foundation thereof, then the
amount ard extent OF such damage shall
upon the request OF said owner in writ
ing filed with the city clerk. be forthwith
