was asked TO break the news to the
young mans mother.
Young Brewer graduated from the
South Orange High School three years
ago, and planned to enter Harvard
University that fall, but the sudden
death of his father Graham H
Brewer, a village trustee, caused a
change of plans, The father died
from complications following the rup4
ture of an eardrum while trying TO
burst a bubble which had lodged In
his ear while bathing at Amagansett,
Long Island.
Last Monday young Brewer went to
the lake for a two weeks vacation.

nangements, will arrive in South Or
ange about . o'clock Wednesday aft
ernoon and will be taken to the un-
dertaking establishment of Frederick
Ardrey, in Prospect street The
funeral services will later be held at
the Brewer residence

Greatest War Fired Year
Ago Today.

VIENNA, June 2S.-The first ami
versary of the assassination at Sara
jevo of the Austrian Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, the crime that touched off
the worlds greatest war, was OBJ
served throughout Austria and Ger
many today.
The Austrian newspapers devoted
columns to eulogies of the late heir
to the Austrian throne. They recalled
his effective work i'm the preparation
of the Austrian war machine, declar-
ing that the recent victory at Lem
berg was especially fitting at this
time because it honored the memory
of the archduke.
Emperor Franz Josef drove today
to the cathedral, where special SER
vices were held. A silent throng of
100,0 900 persons stood uncovered and
chanted softly the Austrian national
hymns.
Commanding officers at the front
lectured their troops upon the ''mur-
der" at Sarajevo and called upon
them to avenge the death of Ferdi-

Clara MacCool, the two-and a helf-
year-old daughter of Charles Mac
Cool, chauffeur, living at q Stan
ton street, fell three stories from a
window in her home on the third
floor to an asphalt sidewalk yester-
day afternoon about 8 o'clock and
escaped without a scratch. The only
medicine prescribed by DR.. l.. w.
Bagg. of 712 Clinton avenue, and the
physician from the City Hospital,
both OF whom were summoned was
a plate of ice cream. Today the
child was none the worse for the ac-
cident apparently, although she
thought she ought to have more ice
cream, just to be sure.
Mrs MacCool and Clara We're sit
ting near the window In the parlor Of
their home talking things over in d
general way, when Mrs. MacCool
arose to fix some flowers in a vase
She made a remark or two about the
perversity of flowers in vase stand
ing with her back to the window
and Clara was contributing some
comments. when suddenly the young
ster's chatter ceased and Mrs. Mac
Cool turned TO find the screen pushed
out and the child gone.
Pushes Screen Loose, Loses Balance.
The screen fastened at the bottom
with a hook and Clara evidently had
been working II loose all the time
she was talking about the flowers
and finally lost her balance. when
with final effort she pushed the
hook free.
George b. Greves, who lives on the
first floor, was in the parlor of his
home entertaining some callers, when
all We're startled as the child's body
shot past the window. Greyes and
Raymond e. Stout ran out fearing the
worst. only To find Clara sitting on
the sidewalk blinking and trying to
make up her mind just what had
happened They brought her into the
Greves home just as the mother and
several neighbors came running in
in an excited frame of mind.
None could believe the child had es-
capped unhurt and their anxiety soon
was communicated to Clara and she
commenced to cry. Then they were
certain she was hurt and the little
one seemed quite upset until the first
mention of ice cream as the most ap-
propriate remedy. Long before the
medicine could be brought Clara was
ready to follow the Doctors advice
and was certain she would get well,
although she felt she might need a
lot of medicine.
