CREW OF POLICEBOAT
DECLARED BLAMELESS
Exonerated by Coroner's Jury
From Charge of Brutality"
at Double Drowning.

Captain Lewis Smith and the crew of
the policeboat Rescue were exonerated
today by the Coroner's jury OF blame In
connection with the drowning of two
boys in the schuylkill River, near Straw
berry Mansion, on Sunday.
This step is expected to affect whatever
action the Falrmount Park Commission
may take following complaint that the
work of the crew was "brutal and ineffi-
cient." The drowned boys were Charles
Muska, AS South 5Oth street. and Otto
Keebler, 1920 North 2sth street. Their two
companions. who were rescued, testified
that the tragedy was caused by n swell
from a launch, and that all haste was
made by the polceboat. Muska died
trying to save Keeber.
Prof. Scott Nearing. of the University
of Pennsylvania, witnessed the drown
ings and the subsequent actions of the
crew of the park guard boat Rescue, and
has written a graphic description Of the
occurrence to the Park Commissioners.
He charges that the guards climbed into
rowboat from their launch and when
their launch started floating down
stream, they rowed after 1t, neglecting
the boys in the water.
When finally the guards recovered one
body, Professor Nearing declares they
sat stupidity still and would make no at
tempt to get the body to land until sew
eral citizens waded out and got It,"

fight with another inmate at the institu-
tion Sunday night. Thomas Joseph Long
of 333 Poplar street, was the victim. The

cocaine heart" 1t is said at the school.
Sunday evening the boys lined UP at bed
time In prescribed manner to march to
lower room and disrobe. Long Is said to

of death. Assistant Superintendent r.

no action has been taken by the Glen
Mills officials. Information regarding the
boys death was first made public last
night.
William Long. the boys father. denied
today that Thomas was addicted to drugs.
He declared that the boy was mis-
chlevous, but not bad. Neighbors of
the Longs, near their Poplar street home
and in the vicinity of 1923 North Lawrence
street, where the family formerly lived,
praised the lad and said he was popular.
He was on probation from the Catholic
Protectory last year, activities of truant
officers resulting in his being sent to the
Glen Mills School. From there he wrote
to his father that he had good time,
playing football last fall and tennis this
spring.

Father Monaghan testified he was ac-
quainted with the Hendricks family when
he was curate of church in Jersey City

"One night" he said. 81 was called
up to the Hendricks home, presumably
on a sick call. DIR. Hendricks opened
the door. and using profane language es-
corted me into the house. He was in
terrible rage and told me he was going
to leave his wife. She had gone out to
a neighbours. but I summoned her and
talked to them both. / asked her what
had caused the trouble and she said:

The olive is the ha- tree "hich SUI

riad his message to Noah it was tribute
to the tree as well as A message OF peace.
The olive branch from time immemorial
has been associated with the dove as
of peace. but as the fruit IS
greater than the branch. the olive should
have its fame linked not only with peace
but with prosperity and abundance
