TO SAVE DESPARING
FROM NIAGARA FALLS

NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y. Omitted
Press) Suicides have become so
numerous here that authorities have
placed pike poles and ropes at fire.
quent intervals along the shores OF
the American Falls. TO enhance the
facilities for saving persons who
throw themselves or fall into the
Niagara River rapids above the
Falls.
The pike poles have been painted
green and white and the ropes
placed in green boxes. The rescue
equipment is placed in conspicuous
places at intervals OF 100 yards.
Life-saving implements have long
been maintained at strategic points
along the reservation shore. but
some were carried away for SOU
venirs and others that remained.
were not displayed conspicuously.
The extra precautions for saving
suicides resulted from a recent cat
aract tragedy in which a woman
went to her death over the Ameri-
can Falls after her body had float
ed down the river rapids a shor
distance from the shore for more
than 100 yards until it was carried
over the brink

BINDER DIDN'T
ISSUE WARRANT
Had Nothing TO Do With
Jones Arrest, Elsmere
Squire Says
EXPECT CROWD AT
MONDAY HEARING

Magistrate George r. Binder, Of
Elsmere. last night denied that he
had caused the arrest OF Frank r.
Jones, a member OF the Levy Court
on charge Of violating traffic laws
at Elsmere and branded the state
ment that he had as a malicious
lie" Squire Binder said the war
rant for the arrest OF Mr.. Jones had
been issued by ]. oakley Grimth,
town alderman. and that the case
would be heard by Mr.. Grifith.
Magistrate Binder said he had
never urged the Levy Court to ap-
point George Ingram. the rural po-
lice officer Of Elsmere as a constable
but had objected to George Whiting
ton. rural police officer doing other
than police work in that town,
Wilmington was not a constable. As
a result OF this objection he said,
Mr. Wilmington had been elected 4
constable by the Levy Court
1t was intimated last night that
the arrest OF Mr.. Jones is the out
come OF the Levy Courts informing
the town commissioners of Ensmere
that inasmuch as fines collected for
highway violations were retained by
the commissioners OF Elsmere, the
Court had no right to maintain the
Lincoln highway, which runs
through the town. The Town Com
missioners some time ago sent a ret
ter to the Levy Court requesting that
portion OF gutter along the high
way be repaired by the county.
II is expected that the hearing OF
the charges against Commissioners
Jones on Monday night win be
largely attended.
The warrant for Mr.. Jones alleges
that he ran past a trafiic officer at
Elsmere during the week OF the
State Fair.
