JEFFERY TELLS OF RESCUE
facturer Had Remarkable Escape
When Lusitania Went Down.

Kenosha, Wis, May 12-CharIes T.
Jeffrey, president of the Thomas B.
Jeffrey company, has told to Kenosha
people in special cable the story of
his remarkable escape from death in
the sea after the sinking of the steam
er Lusitania. He says:
81 was in the smoking room of the
Lusitania when the explosion took
place. 1t shook the whole ship as
train might shake if the locomotive
was suddenly stopped and back into.
"There was no panic then or any
other time / went down to another
deck to see what was happening there.
But there was no commotion.
81 went down to my cabin There
were not many people in the alleyways
with lifebelts. Others were going for
them. l had an air life preserver OF
my own | put on my coat and waist
coat over it.
81 made my way aft, and, seeing no
one on the navigating bridge, scram-
bled up there and could see everything
happening along one side of the ship.
"The ship now heeled over so much
that passengers were clinging to the
deck rail 1t was a terrible sight

steadily going down from under us.
knew there was no place for me in the
boats, so l stayed on the navigating
bridge waiting for the final plunge.
"The steamship was now getting at
an angle of As degrees, when suddenly
there was terrific rumbling, roaring
noise. The huge ship trembling all
over as its tunnels went over, and it
just slid down under the waves by the
head and then it seemed to me sud-
denly checked as though its bow had
struck something. But it was only
momentarily and it disappeared under
the water.
81 went down with it, but came to
the surface again quickly and looked
around for something to keep me up.
Presently there foated near me rect.
angular sheet metal canlike air tank
of a lifeboat, and / clutched it. Two
men came along hanging to barrel
with handles at each end, so l left my
tank and caught on to it. Four hours
later we were picked up by trawler-

The government and people of the

BIG INTEREST IN
UPTOWN BODY
Businessmen Will "Show Peo-
pie What They Can Get
in District

With the new year only little more
than three weeks away men in the up
town district are rapidly forming ten
tative plans for the organization of the
Uptown Merchants Association.
Cooperative advertising during the
christmas season has been adopted by
the temporary organization of the
businessmen now in existence, but a
more extensive campaign is being
| planned for the other winter and
Spring months
Show the people what they can get
uptown" will be the center of all the
work OF the association. Members
are BUSY at present making plans to
conduct forceful campaign to bring
results which will show the oppor-
tumtles OF the uptown residents
The big industrial boom is expected
to help in this and in making a record
year for the mercantile men of the
uptown section as we'll as those in the
downtown districts.
during January more time will be
devoted to the organization move
which will be perfected then, accord
ing to a number of men who are in
terested in the enterprise. Following
TINS plan, community interests will be
discussed together with ways and
means of best suiting the needs of the
people and obtaining for them the
comforts and advantages already
given to residents in other sections of
the city.
Better street lighting and street
car service both ways on Third street
Will be advocated. A cooperating.
businessmen's organization can best
meet these items and settle them
properly is the belief of practically
everyone.
interest in the project is increasing
and is being discussed on all Sides
me uptown men, however, will not
isolate their work to that district
alone. Municipal affairs will be given
Just as serious consideration at the
meetings of the merchants as the in
terests of the community. ADVANTAGES
offered in city improvements, includ-
ing plans i'll view because of the
Capitol Park Extension, are to be in
cluded in the association discussions.
One of the first things to be accom-
plished will be electric light stand
ards from North to Reilly streets, on
Third street. As progress is made ef-
forts Will be made to have the new
system of lighting installed on other
streets of the district
This change in lighting on Third
street, when installed will be a big i'm
provement over the hanging arc light
system now in use. The change will
also be saving for the city because
OF the small cost of maintaining the
standard lights.
Residents as we'll as property own
ers interested in the welfare of the
district north of North street, are be-
ing invited to join the association in
order to bring a united and organ
lied force into play to obtain COM
munity improvements.

Now Chief Burgess Keiser, himself

to work. Accordingly he recently rec
commended the dismissal of Patrolman
Hockenbrach. But his recommenda-
tion was voted down by council by

we intend to permit part of it to loaf,
why not go a step farther and make
things comfortable for our guardian

So, at the meeting of the Sunbury
council, Burgess Keiser formally rec
commended to the borough fathers that
they at once place in city hall for the
use of Patrolman Hockenbrach--a
