Frantic Efforts to Save
Wife Nearly Fatal to Nam
Jersey Resident, Answering
Cries i'm Well, Fails i'm Thrill
ing Rescue Attempt

DOVER, N. J., June 21-Mrs. Frank
F. Gillem. thirty-six years old, was
drowned this afternoon in q we'll 25
feet deep near Mount Fern, N. j., de-
spite the frantic efforts of her hus-
band to save her.
Mr.. Gillem went to the we'll while
the cries of his wife were still echoing
from it, He began to descend by brac-
ing his legs and arms on opposite sides
of the walls. BY the time he reached
q depth of 13 feet and the surface of
the water his wife's cries had ceased.
He took her under his right arm and
started to ascend, gripping the Shiny
stones with his left hand and trying
to shove up himself with his feet. Three
times he lost his hold and fell to the
bottom OF the we'll. Each time he
started up again.
Weak and bruised by his repeated eff
forts, he was unable after the failure
of the third attempt to do more than
keep himself and his wife above water
and shout for help.
Howard Stanton, who drives a bak-
cry wagon, heard him and came to his
assistance Two farm hands joined him.
They lowered a rope. Gillem fastened
it about his wife and she was pulled up.
When Gillem was brought to the top
he was nearly unconscious and re-
quired medical attention. Ills wife
was dead.

Present Shane

The National Republican Club at
slimly attended meeting last night
went on record against an indorsement
of Senator Edges daylight saving law
for the zone including New York. The

that the Federal budget be kept down

Law Spoiled Good
Ball Player, Say
Friends Of O'Brier]
Ex-Judge at Luncheon Gets
Ball Harding Autographed
and Triumph Of SO Years
Ago Over Yale l. Recalled

Morgan j. O'Brien, former judge of
yesterday by some of his long time
friends at a luncheon at the India
House because his father fifty years
ago had spoiled a perfectly good pro-
fessional baseball pitcher to make him
distinguished jurist.
Judge O'Brien, with his years resting
lightly on him, was the proud possessor
last night of baseball autographed
By President Harding and General
Pershing in green and gold case.
1t was fifty years ago on June day
back in 1871 that Morgan J. O'Brien,
the pride of the strong Fordham Col
lege nine, pitched so well against Yale
that Fordham came out winner by
the score of IA to 10.
That is why Judge O'Brien's friends
gathered yesterday at India House to
give him the autographed baseball.
Martin Conboy presided and told every
one of the prowess of the young
O'Brien of long ago. Judge O'Brien is
chairman of the baseball committee of
the American Commission for the Re-
lief of Ireland, and the luncheon yes
terday therefore had a double signii-
cance.
Judge O'Brien told his friends that
he really earned his first money as a
baseball pitcher. Immediately follow
ing his triumph over Yale he was
signed by the old Chicago White Sox,
and he pitched one game for that ag-
gregation. That was his first and last
game as a professional, however, for
his father, although duly proud Of his
strapping son, forthwith yanked him
ont of the professional ranks and set
him to studying law.
Among those present yesterday who
Joined in felicitating Judge O'Brien
were Daniel M. Grady, who played on
the old Montauks in 1866; Nicholas P.
Brady, Joseph P. Grace and James ].

Niagara Resources

Engineer Outlines Scheme

low Falls; Conference Dis
cusses Development Plans

The first sessions Of the two-day
conference Of the Water Power League
of America, Inc, of which Charles H.
Ingersoll is president, and representa-
tives of manufacturers who are large
users of power were held yesterday at
the Waldorf Astoria
Means for unhampered development
of the country's water power resources
by Independent companies and the re
peal of the Federal Water Power Com
mission law are the main objects of
the conference.
"It is our duty to get to work at
once" said Charles T. Root, president
of the league, "to develop our country
and improve its tremendous oppor-
tunity. To do that we must be able to
furnish American manufacturers with
an unending supply of power that will
enable them to compete with the manu-
facturers Of other countries.
Our natural resources exceed those
of any other country on earth, but be-
cause of the very lavishness with which
nature has blessed US we have wasted
them to the point Of approaching ex-
tinction. We can atone ourselves and
our posterity only by immediate devel-
opment and utilization of our water
power"
T. Kennard Thomson, e consulting
engineer, who outlined q plan to util-
ize the power of the Niagara River
without marring its scenic beauty by
damming it four miles below the falls,
said that the notion that the power
development of Niagara is unlimited
is fallacious, as New York State alone
used more electricity than Niagara
could supply.

Edison's Prediction

The requirements of modern indus trial life leave no doubt of this. Throughout all the ages, metaHurgy has not kept pace with the develop rnent of other sciences because known forms of metals were sufficient for our needs. The invention of the in terna1 combustion engine, for in st ance revolutionized transportation but the internal combustion engine was made of iron.
 New forms of metals are now in demand, and in searching for them, no one can tell what moment some one may stumble upon the way to make synthetic gold and make it cheaply. Strange things happen in scinetific experimentation, and expect ed discoveries are often made"
 pr. Miller Reese Hutchinson, for many years an associate of MT Edi- son, said that scientific experim enta- tion had brought him to the point where he would dispute nothing

By ALLAN l.. BENSON.

New York, Dec. 10-Commander William A. Ballantine, one of the greatest metallurgists of England, now in New York, does not believe there is anything impossible Tn Thos. A. Edisons prediction that gold will yet be artificially made at a fraction of it's present price.
 "Gold has already been artifchally made" added the commander. Sir William Ramsey, a number of years ago, converted radium into gold. He made but few grams of the yellow metal, but what he made was identd- cal in every respect, with gold as we know it in nature. But the gold that Sir William made cost about twenty TinDes as much as the gold that comes from the ground.
 '+The question, therefore, is not whether gold can be made from base metals, but whether it can be made for less than the cost Of the gold rthat comes out of the ground. I agree with Mir. Edison that the dis scovery might be made any day.
 "I would add, however. that it may never be made.
 Nothing, however is more cer- s9ain than that enormous discoveries 5dn nnetallurgy ane just ahead of us.
