DOUBLE FUNERAL FOR BOYHOOD COMP AN|ONS Services Tomorrow for Yale Juniors Drowned in
 HOusatOnic

New Haven, May 19.--Chums since boyhood, schoolmates, then college classmates, happy in the enjoyment of the same diversions and out for q Sunday canoe trip, Harls '- juniors of Torripp,on C9 'au0, death together yesten a, '' Housatonic river at Dcfpsf"SIS lna, were regarded as almost inscparap [ companions, according To the college mates. ISe two students occupied the same canoe and went 10 the res cue of Watel Janesky and Stanley Flood, two Ansonia youths, who had been upset while canoeing and were struggling in the water. The students drowned while the pair they tried to rescue reached shore in safety.
 Both Franklin and Bouillon were members of the Yale Dramatic asso- citation being considered to have con- siderable ability as college actors.
 With Bouillon and Franklin in an other canoe were Albert h. Swazey of Buoksport. Me, and Francis K. Squire of Westfeld, Mass, also Yale junior They also started for the rescue of the Ansonia boys and were themselves upset, but reached shore by swim ming. They expressed belief that lSouillon and Franklin were upset in trying to tow Janetyy and Flood ashore going down before it was pos sible for anyone on shore to reach them.
 Referring to the death of Franklin and Bouillon today the Yale News says editorially:
 The time of sorrow is not the time for many words, Far more eloquent than silver. tongues is the hushed si- lenee which follows the realization that llayner August Bouillon and Harlan Clarke Franklin have walked their last meath the elms Of Yale. Their lives sacrificed in highest deyo- ton 10 duty. the attempted rescue Of mon in danger of death by drowning, have gone to enhance the glorious traditions Of America and Of Yale. Families and friends of fhese two heroes will long mourn yesterdays tragedy on the Housatonic, but they must needs feel pride in the inspira- ton which survives to shine with the memories Of Nathan Hale. Allen Keith and the rest In years to come these splendid examples of courage will al- ways be cherished as Ncritable victor. ies OCT the grave"
