TWO MEN LOSE LIVES
WHEN ICE GAVE WAY
John KOprski and John SObus Lose
Lives in Marley Creek Both Break
Through and One Tried to Help
Other.

John Koprski and John Sobus,
caretakers of a shore at Point Pleas
ant, Marley Creek, this county, be-
longing to Peter Mach, 729 South
Broadway, Baltimore, were drowned
yesterday as the result of an attempt
to bring q boat to shore that was out
in the channel
The creek was frozen over with
what was thought to be thick ice, and
Koprski started to walk over it in
the direction Of the boat. He was
seen by Sobus to break through the
ice and disappear. sobus started out
to resuce him and he, too. broke
through the ice.
Seeing both men disappear, Alley
Hudson, colored, notified Mr. Mach,
who started for the shore In the
meantime the Brooklyn police and
S. Tracey, a farmer nearby, were noti-
fed At the point where the men
broke through the ice the current is
strong and it is thought that their
bodies were carried some distance
under the heavier ice.
On this account no effort was made
to locate the bodies. but Chief Irwin
and members of his force will go to
the shore today and drag for the
bodies. Both men formerly lived in
Baltimore. Koprslzi's age is given as
80 years and that OF Sobus as ~
years.

WAaa bran Is high, the millers can
afford to dispose Of their -four at a

equalized by adding a few cents

intention was thru this extra two year

Des Moines, April >. The aighth
judge bill is still on the table in the
Iowa house of Iowa representatives
and the general predictions now are
that it will stay there, or at least that
it will be given a solar plexus blow if it
is brought up.
Speaker Pitt has not yet made the
ruling which he announced he would
make on Tuesday of this week on the
bill. He says he will make his ruling
when there are 104 out Of the los house
members present. Thus far he has
been unable to catch that many in the
house at any one time. The enemies of
the bill declare he is waiting until he
can see that there will be a majority of
the friends of the bill on hand to sup
port his ruling.
The temper of the majority of both
the senate and the house in these clos
ing days of the session seems to be to
defeat all legislation which has faction
al support, or any measures which APP
pear to be in the interests of any fac
ton or individuals.
The senate yesterday backed up on
the Coburn bill which provides -four
year terms to county officers ant
which, as passed both by the house and
senate, legislated 297 auditors, sheriffs
and clerks for an extra two years. The
!! backing up, however. was not attained
until after a hard fight.
New Precedent Established.
The senate voted to recall this meas
ure from the senate committee on en-
rolled bills. After taking this action
Senator Arney introduced concurrent
resolution asking the house to return
the bill for amendment. The amend
ment Senator Arney proposes 70 make
is to strike out of the bill that part
which extends the term Of the sheriffs
auditors and clerks for two years. II
further provides that the law shall not
go into effect until the people shall
have elected auditors. clerks and sher-
lifts at the next election. 1t is predicted
that the senate will kill the bill entire
~ If the house refuses to pass the con-
current resolution calling for the re-
turn Of the BILL
