brit Ristau, agd 81, was drownd
in Rock river near Shady beach,
eight miles northwest of Geneseo, at

parton, Miss Emma Nitz, was res
cued by Max Ahrnet and Will Bolte,
who made an unsuccessful attempt
to save Mr.. Ristau. His body had not
been recovered at noon today.
Ristau and Miss Nitz had canoed
from the main shore to an island
in the middle Of the stream. They
went into the river from the island
shore. Friends warned Ristau not
to 60 out far because of the uneven
river bed. Ristau and Miss Nitz
were wading into the stream and
stepped into hole. Their cries for
help were heard by other members
Of the party who rushed to their
rescue. Effort was made to save
both but Ristau was swept away by
the stream and rescuers were
scarcel yable to reach Miss Nitz.,
Richard Herbert Ristau was born
in Geneseo, July %. 1900. He was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Ris-
tau Of North Chicago street and
had been lifelong resident of the
city. He had teen employed in the

On behalf Of the American people,
President Harding today gave Great
Britain a renewal of friendship.
His message of good will was
read today at the unveiling of a
bust of George Washington in St.
Paul's Cathedral, London. Similar
busts were unveiled in the town
hall at Liverpool and Sulgrave
Manor, the ancestral home OF the
Washington family.
The busts were gifts of the Amer
ican people, and the message call
ed attention to the fact that Wash
ington was a British subject and
that the peoples of the two coun-
tries have common inheritance
and common patriotism"
The unveiling ceremonies were
the principal feature of Britain's
observance of Memorial day.
At Winchester a large wreath
was deposited in the American
cemetery in the name Of the Brit
ish army "as tribute to our gal
liant American comrades"
Lusitania victims were remem-
bered at Queenstown when the
American consulate headed a pro-
cession of British soldiers going to
the cemetery to decorate the VIC
TINS graves.

CASEXPL0SION
WRECKS HOMES
Four. Family Apartment is Demo,-

UnaccOunted For,

Detroit, Mich, May 30.-An ex-
plosion wrecked a four-family
apartment house in the east side OF
the city here early today. Several
hours later it had not been deter
mined whether the building was oc-
cupied. Three of the families had
been accounted for and neighbors
could not say whether the fourth
was at home during the night.
The building was almost COM
pletely wrecked and firemen search
ing the debris expressed the belief
anyone who had been within at the
time Of the blast would have been
killed.
The cause Of the explosion has
not been determined. The condition
of the wreckage indicated it oc-
CURED on the interior of the build
ing and might have been caused by
gas.

COMPANIONS ON SHORE
WITNESSES TO TRAGEDY;
DRAG RIVER FOR BODY
Native of Rock Island
Loses Life While In j.
Swimming.

Fred Meyer, aged -. . truck
gardner residing at 2760 Ninth
street, was drowned at $50 yester-
day morning in Rock river at tho.
foot of Thirty-second avenue. Two
companions on the shore, william
Mckay of Buffalo Prairie and Fred
Richards, at whose camp Meyer
was visiting, saw him wade into
the river and sink from sight. He
was an able swimmer.
The body was recovered at $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon by
David E. Butler, John A. Gardner
and Henry H. Koester, in a yacht
owned by Mr.. Gardner. Pike poles
were used to take it from the river.
Jurors at the inquest conducted
at 9 o'clock this morning by Corr
oner John F. Maberry in the Wheel
an funeral home, gave the verdict
as accidental drowning while in
bathing. vi.
There was no outcry nor any In,
dication of struggle. DR.. Joseph
DeSilva, who was called during the
first hours Of the search, said it was
evident that Meyer had either been
victim Of sudden attack of heart
trouble or had cramps. James
Smith, the fourth man in the party,
was swimming 200 feet away on the
opposite short and by the time he.
had learned Of the fate of his
friend. was unable to give any as
sistance other than to join in an.
unsuccessful search for the body.
Meyer had gone over to the camp
early in the morning. The man
was visiting at the Rickard house
boat and in search of relief from
the heat went to the rivers edge.
Mckay and Rickard did not 60 into
the water but watched Smith plunge
into the river and swim away. A
few minutes later Meyer waded out
en- the beach and went out to wa
ter shoulder deep. His friends saw
lin go in deeper and suddenly he
was out of sight. Knowing his abil-
ity as a swimmer they thought it
was a trick but when Meyer did
not appear became alarmed. They
called to Smith and began a search.
Meyers disappearance had been 90
casual that they scarcely realised
the tragedy enacted before their
eyes.
Fred was a short fellow" Nc
Kay said, land he didn't go far from
the shore when the water reached
his chin. We saw the water 90 up
to his mouth, his eyes and then he
was gone. There wasn't a ripple
nor a sign of struggle. Fred didn't
shout-he just went out, that's all. /"

AMERICAN CASH
WILL BE USED TO
FINANCE WORLD
Harding Holds I'm
portant Meet With
Bankers.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
lSnecial to The ArguS.l

Washington, May 30.-President
Harding has undertaken job un-
paralleled in. American history if
not unprecedented in world econ
omics. He has asked the bankers
Of America who he recognizes will
practically finance the world in the
next ten years to cooperate with
the United States government, not
for governmental purposes, not for
the handling of government obliga-
tions, but for the safeguarding Of
every class Of people-investors
large and small, farmers, business
men, producers, consumers.
Flanked by Secretary Mellon Of
the treasury and Secretary Hoover
Of the department of commerce,
whose vision Of what is ahead of
America, is a controlling influence
in government nowadays, Presi-
dent Harding has called together
first the International bankers of
the east but before many weeks
have elapsed he will have con-
ferred with the bankers and bust
ness men Of every section of the
country.
Obviously Mr.. Harding wants to
bring about a return, to n0rmalcy
and doesn't want the government to
impose any artificial measures that
will impede such a return, but his
| cabinet secretaries have pointed
out certain dangers, certain pit
falls, if every class goes ahead in
dividually without regard to the
interests of other classes in our
economic life. Mr.. Marding calls
1t thesbeginnias of an -srat of rxn...
derstaaoing. What he really wants
is conference and provision before
America takes the big step-giving
of its financial resources to rehabii-
tate the world.
! Big Facts Formed.
Now that Mr.. Harding has out
lined the essentials of his foreign
policy and has delimited the extent
to which the United States govern
ment will cooperate with the allies
in seeing to it that Germany will
pay her war indemnity, the big
facts Of the economic situation
thrust themselves forward with
unmistakable emphasis. Mr.. Har-
ding admits frankly that America
must finance the world. He doesn't
dispute the fact that Germany must

START INQUIRY
INTO DEATH OF
SEVEN ON PLANE
Army Heads Unable
To Understand
Accident.

Washington, May 30.-Army Of
ficials were preparing today for an
investigation Of the crash during
a storm last Saturday, near In
dian Head. Maryland, of the am
bulance airplane in which seven
men, five army officers and two
civilians met death. The fact that
every occupant Of the machine was
killed, making therefore a board
Of inquiry dependent largely on
the observation of distant eye-wit-
nesses in forming its conclusions,
made it appear doubtful that the
exact cause of the disaster could
ever be developed.
The plane, Curtiss-Eagle,
which had been divested of its am
bulance equipment, was making a
return flight from Langley Field,
Virginia, to Washington when it
encountered a severe electrical
storm accompanied by winds esti-
mated to be blowing at a hundred
miles velocity.
Eye-witnesses said the plane, un-
able to make headway in the face
of the wind, descended apparently
in an attempt to make a landing
put after dropping to within about
100 feet of the ground, approached
a clump of trees and swerSed up
ward. The trees were cleared, but
as the plane started for an open
field nearby, it was seen to culver,
turn over and dive vertically to the
earth.
Those who reached the wreck
first found all seven men dead. All
the bodies were closely grouped to-
gether, some Of them badly mutt
lated by the engine which had been
torn from it's bed and thrown back
ward, butting the men down like q
scythe as it plunged through the
narrow passenger compartment Of
the plane. A watch later found had
stopped at 6:25 O'Clock, showing
the exact time of the tragedy
Army officers who later viewed the
wreckage said it was the worst
they had ever seen and were at 9
loss to understand how 1t could
have resulted from such . short
