Lieutenant r. II Mccain and Ensign
G. s, Hodges, both of the naval re-
serve force, last Monday, when an
American naval airplanc fell in the
river Humber Aboard her were En-
sign Benjamin Lee. pilot: Ensign Gar
rison, second pilot; and machinist's
mate r. G. Fisher. AS she struck the
water she caught fire and burning
gasoline from her tanks spread In a
great circle around her
Mccain and Hodges were in Il
launch that hurried to the rescue, and,
diving overheard. they swan under
the water, beneath the burning spirit
and came up near the wreck. Hodges
caught hold OF Garrison, and, plung-
ing him from time to time under tn.
water managed to bring him safe to
the launch. He was almost suffocated
by the fumes If the burning gasoline,
but protected Garrison as well as he
could from the flames with his own
body. He was severely burned in do
ing so.
Mccain dived repeatedly into the
water in an endeavor to save the
others in entire disregard of his own
peril He was unsuccessful. but only
desisted when it was quite clear that
further efforts we're useless. Lee and
Fisher are both missing, presumably
drowned.
The efficiency Of the measures
adopted by the navy authorities to
check the ravases of influenza aboard
crowded transports is proved by the
record of hg liner which recently
arrived at British port. She carried
5000 troops and before leaving the
United States had to land 100 influen-
"a cases. Sanitary masks were then
served out and all aboard had to wear
them day and night. with the result
that only one death and fewer than
fifty cases occurred on the trip over.

new YEAR MEANS
LITTLE TO NEGRO
Carter, Convicted Murderer, Has
Darkest Outlook Of Any Person
As 1918 Arrives.
TO BUILD GALLONS If HE HANGS
Many Seek Job Of Springing Trap
Execution to Be Decent Affair,
Sheriff Says.

Undoubtedly no person in Rock Is
land county starts on the New Year
today with fate so certainly against
him as does Will Carter, convicted
Negro murderer of Peter Jelvek.
Carter, like some ninety other pris-
oners, started the new year of 1918 IL
the county Jail. unlike the other in
mates, his chances of seeing another
New Years day are slim. John A.
Holmes is the other prisoner in the
jail charged with taking human life
and his trial for the murder of Mrs.
Emma Ghys is to be held at the next
session of the circuit court, which
convenes Jan. Z. At the same session
hearing will be given Carter's motion
for new trial, It having been con-
tinued from the last term Of court to
Jan. IS.
1t is said that should Carter be de-
MED a new trial, when his motion is
heard, that his case may be appealed
to the supreme court, although there
is considerable doubt of this. Should
Carter be denied new trial, and his
case not be appealed, sentence would
then be passed on his recent convic-
ton by jury, which means the death
penalty.
AS the death penalty in this state is
hanging, gallows would necessarily
have to be erected here for the pur-
pose. Shortly after the conviction Of
! Carter, Sheriff George H. Richmond
received a. communication from Cook
county offering the services of gal
lows, which had been used to hang
several persons there However, the
sheriff is not expected to accept the
offer, but, instead, it is said, if there
is to be a hanging, he intends to have
gallows erected here, if the date of
execution is set far enough in advance
to allow time for the building Of it. AS
the law provides that g person can not
be executed until 10 days after the SUI
preme court sits Carter's execution
could not possibly occur until after
/ Feb. Is.
Plenty Of Substitutes.
! That there will be little trouble ex-
perienced in securing an executioner,
| should Carter finally be ordered put
| to death, seems evident According to
law, the sheriff is the official execu-
| toner, but he is permitted, where he
, so desires, to secure substitute for
the job. That is probably what will
be done here, and Sheriff George H
Richmond believes he will have nc
difficulty in getting such q substitute
In fact, he says, they are too plentiful
The sheriff states that the next day
after Carter was convicted six per.
sons applied for the Job Of "springins
the trap" and since then there have
been in the neighborhood of half Z
hundred others who have offered theil
services.
Should it come to pass that Carter
