GALLANT EFFORT TO SAVE FRIEND Violent Storm Causes Life
 and Property
 Loss.

Atle entic City, N. J., June 1S.---One life was lost and property damage estimated at several thousand dollars done by a violent electric storm ac- conupanied by hurricane downpour which swept Atlantic county last night
 A picnic was in progress in Lenape Park, at Mays Landing, when the storm suddenly broke, and a canoe containing Irving Schusler and Her. man Guttesman, each aged 16 years, was some distance from the shore. Crowds of pleasure seekers, realizing the grave danger the boys were in, rushed to the lake front and anx- iousIy watched their efforts to make the beach in safety
 Three boats set out to their rescue and had no sooner left the shore than the canoe was overturned In rapid succession the three rescue craft were also upset, but were righted and con- tinued on their way. Then the quick ly gathering darkness, shut out the view of the struggling men to the watchers on shore. A half hour later the boats returned with young Gut tesman. Schus1er was drowned and his body had not been recovered up to a late hour this morning.

FINANCIER
 IS DEADAT
 STAMFORD
'G. w. Perkins Succumbs to Inflammation of
 Brain.

Stamford, Conn.,, June 1S- George w. Perkins, the finan-
 cier, died today at Stamford Hall Sanitarium, Stamford,
 Conn.,, it was announced here.
 It became known week ago that MT. Perkins had suf-
 fered a nervous breakdown but
 members of his family did not intimate at that time that his
 life was in danger.
 He was taken to Stamford about ten days ago and George W. Perkins.
 Jr., announced the change was made
 to afford his father complete rest and seclusion from his friends who sought his counsel during the political
 campaign preceding the Chicago con- vention.
 The affection to which MT. Perkin, succumbed is believed to have been the result of influenza and pneum onia contra cted while serving with the Y. M c. A in France during the war. Death resulted from acute inf1am- nation of the brain, the result of complete nervous exhaustion due ta intense and continuous overwork," it was announced.
 The death of MT. Perkins was un- expected, it was said at his offices because he recently survived a, seri- ous heart attack, after which his family and friends believed his con stitution sufficiently robust to throw off the ma1ady.
 The funeral will take place Sum- day afternoon at the Riverdale Pres byterian church in the Bronx. (Continued On Page Teno
