Disclaiming all responsibility for
the city in the drowning of the four
school children in the Riverview
park lagoon May %, Commissioner
Falconer. yesterday. nearly a
month after the tragedy which
aroused public indignation to a
white heat, read a statement at the
council meeting. y
Despite the accusations of scores
of persons, Commissioner Falconer
asserts that the boats were not
leaking.
Mr.. Falconer makes no attempt
to explain the absence of lung mo-
tor, which, according to the state
ment of one of the city policemen
who assisted in the rescue work,
would have saved the life of at
least one of the victims.
No Reference to- Physician.
Neither does Mr.. Falconer make
any reference to the late arrival of
the city physician on the scene.
According to witnesses, the city
physician did not arrive until three
quarters of an hour after the acct
dent occurred.
Mr.. Falconer also fails to give his
reason for ordering the boats taken
off. of the lagoon if they were not
leaky.
Police Commissioner Ringer sat
at his desk while Commissioner Fal-
coner read his report. Mr.. klnger
made no attempt to explain shy
there was no physician at the police
station to respond to the emergency
call. Mr.. Ringer offered no explana-
ton of why the pulmotor was not
in working order.
Mr.. Falconer's statement contains
no reference to the fact that his
park guards failed to report the acct
dent until after the children had
been floundering the water for near
ly quarter of an hour.
Falconer Charges Carelessness.
"The boat was rented to a ~.
year-old girl by James Connolly"
said Mr.. Falconer. "Connelly has

concessions in the park. Two sis
tiers of the St. Agnes church assist
ed the younger girls into the boat.
"The boat was in the water for
over an hour, which discredits the
report that it was leaking. Another
boat filled with boys also was in the
water at the same time. By, rock
ing their boat they nearly filled it
with water. They then attempted
to get into the girls boat with the
result that both boats were capsized.
Joseph Lark, park attendant,
heard the girls scream, rushed to
the scene, and rescue work was be-
gun several minutes after the acct
dent occurred"
Mrs, c. A. Wertz, who witnessed
the tragedy, and who assisted in re-
viving the victims after they were
rescued from the water, declared
that park attendants and policemen
stood on the banks of the lagoon
while boys, IS and Is years old,
plunged into the water to assist the
drowning children.
Policemen Wasaed Time.
"The rescue work was not begun
a few minutes after the accident &C.
Cured" said Mrs. Wertz. 1T
seemed an age before any one vol
unteered to help the children who
screamed for help while grown men
stood on the banks and simply
looked. Most of the rescue. work
was done by boys and one police
man. Several policemen fooled
around for 10 or IS minutes, re-
fusing to go into the water until
they were given bathing suits"
p Mrs. Wertz made a statement of
the facts of the catastrophe Several
weeks ago, which wa, published in
The Bee. She declares that since
she has been annoyed by city hall
officials, who have tried to get her
to repudiate her published state
ment

said Mrs. Wertz. 'If I were to make
