DROWNED AS FRIENDS
LOOK ON FROM SHORE
Charles Flynn Seized With Cramps
While Companions Believe He
Is Holding Breath.

While his companions looked on
under the impression he was holding
his breath" under water, Charles
Flynn, 16-year-old Gonzaga College
student, was drowned yesterday at
Arlington Beach, the victim of cramps.
Although the youth was rescued by
a Hfeguard before he had been under
the water more than about minute,
resuscitation efforts Of beach guards
and application of pulmotor failed to
save him, despite the fact that
Emergency Hospital physicians found
his pulse beating family on arrival.
According to William Hamilton.
lifeguard, who dived and pulled the
boy from the water, the first notice
he had Of the lads predicament came
with the announcement to him by one
Of FIynn's companions that that fell
low certainly can hold his breath a
long time"
Hamilton says he Immediately swan
out to the spot, near the large diving
float off the shore, to satisfy himself
that there was nothing amiss, and
located the stricken swimmer on the
first dive.
Flynn was said to have been an
excellent swimmer. He is reported
to have eaten a large. meal just before
entering the water and this is thought
to have been a contributing factor in
rendering him helpless.
Flynn resided at 1906 North Capitol
street.

bus which carried the announcement
Of legion officials there that the Mary

cause of his implied desire to speak
on prohibition, Adjt. O'Connel said
the matter would be fully decided be
fore the State department committee

IT advised the speakers committee
that in my opinion Mr.. Hill was not
entirely satisfactory because he was

I was afraid he would make con
troversial speech" Mr.. OConnell said
I'VE will decide Monday night"

to talk If l could talk against the

PROBE Of CHARGES
BY BRYAN PLANNED
Nebraska Attorney General
Also to Study Accusations
Against Ex-Governor.
By tho Associated Press.

LINCOLN. Nebr., June 20.-Attor-
ney General Spillman today started
out to determine the extent of the
charges and countercharges Of ''cor.
ruption and connivance' which have
been filed by former Gov. Charles w
Bryan, Democrat, and George E.
Johnson. former secretary of the
State department of public works
under the former Republican admins.
tration of Gov. Samuel McKelvie.
In District Court here Mr.. Spillman
filed two civil suits demanding return
to the State of $84,155.38, which he
claims to represent excess money paid
road contractors through alleged
Justification of records and corrupt
connivance by Johnson and E. H
Morey, chief of the roads bureau
under Johnson.
One suit names johnson, Edward
Peterson, Omaha contractor, and the
Fidelity Deposit Co. of Maryland
which was Johnson's surety. The
State asks $81 900 Judgment in this
to recover $3,155.5S from the Phelan
Shirley Co. of Omaha, surety house
for Morey.
Hints at Criminal Action.
Mr.. Spfllman said that today's suits
were merely preliminary steps" to
others carrying probable criminal
charges. He would not clarity this
statement further. He said they were
the outcome Of a long investigation
which was spurred last January by
Mr.. Bryan's farewell address to the
Legislature, In which he charged ir
regularities in the road fund under
Morey and Johnson.
In a letter to the Attorney Gen
erals Office Friday, Johnson urged
the action. saying that he desired to
have the matter settled as he planned
to start proceedings against Bryan
on charges Of violation of the cor
rupt practices act. fraudulent use OF
the mails in connection with his pri
vate coal company, violation of the
State budget law and fraudulent use
Of the State revolving fund"
Both johnson and Bryan belittle the
charges and class them as politics >
Attorney General Spillman. how
ever, said that his office would make
an impartial investigation Of the
charges and would not be used as a
foot ball to further the political am

NEBRASKA LEGION
SCORED BY HILL
Withdrawal of Bid to Speak
Brings Statement From
Representative.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, June 20.-Represent-
ative John Phillip Hill of Maryland,
in comment today anent the with
drawal yesterday Of an invitation to
deliver the chief address before the
annual convention of the American
Legion, Department of Nebraska, be-
cause OF his expressed desire to speak
that "the Nebraska branch of the
American Legion must be dominated
by the Anti-Saloon League"
Apparently the legion in Nebraska
does not believe in States rights and
the principles for which I stand" he
said. ''They objected to me talking
about the Dawes plan to throttle the
Senate and other attempts to do away
with the Constitution for which we
fought"
Mr.. Hill was the center Of the IA
nous hard cider party" staged here
recently in an attempt to force a test
prohibition case. He was invited to
speak at Columbus, Nebr., by Repre-
sentative Edgar Howard of Nebraska.
The legion officials withdrew the invi-
tation, they announced yesterday,
when Mr.. Hill wired he would be glad
to speak ''if I could talk against the
Dawes plan to throttle the Senate and
against attempts to do away with the
old Constitution"
Warren S. Lloyd, State adjutant Of
the American Legion and commander
Of Baltimore Post, No. 6, said ''the
action of the Nebraska Department
in recalling their invitation to Col.
Hill Is purely local"
Knowing the members as I do"
he continued, II believe there Will be
general resentment expressed all over
the country, possibly to the extent of
influencing the attendance at the ma
tional convention, which meets this
year in Omaha"

RECOVERED STOLEN CAR

Henry Hanson left Monday night
or Lake Forest, ILL.,, having that day
received a message stating that his
FORD sedan which was stolen from
Main street last August, had been
coated there. AS it was a brand new
rig at the time and fitted up with a
arge amount of accessories, he was
naturally quite pleased to learn of it's
recovery.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-01-22

he is willing to travel far to observe
for the few minutes during which the
sun is totally eclipsed, because it is
at this time alone that the corona can
be seen.
On the inner coronal ring, close to
the dark moon, one or more solar
prominences may appear, as brilliant
red wisps of light which look like
flames blown into all sorts of shapes
by the wind. They look small to the
eye, but often, they are tens and
even hundreds of thousands of miles
high, big enough to surround the
earth completely if it were anywhere
in the neighborhood. At the coming
eclipse-this being year of few sun
spots-it is not probable that the
prominences will be large. Possibly
some may be visible through an OPP
era glass
All too soon the short etotality-
lasting hardly more than two min
utes at the most-will come to an
end: and now is the time to watch
for things which are better left un-
looked at as the sun goes into the
shadow, lest the observers eyes be
dazzled Just before the end of total
ity the inner corona brightens per-
ceptibly, then something far brighter
shining with a white, steely light, ap-
pears This is not the sun itself, but
it's hot lower atmosphere be-
comes clear a second or two later,
when the suns surface, incomparably
more brilliant, bursts forth. The air
fills with light, drowning out the out
er corona at once and the inner cor
ona after minute or so. The great
spectacle is over!
The amateur astronomer, while he
will not willingly miss a single one
of the things that the man in the
street" may see, will have his eyes
open for more. He will have, of
course, a good binocular, with which
to see the details of the corona and
Of any prominences which may be
present. If he is at all interested in
the spectroscOpe, he may well bring
with him one of the little replica
gratings' (celluloid casts from the
costly originals,) which are trans
parent and which enable the obser-
yer to see, at the same time, a
source of light and, at one side, its
spectrum.
With such a replica in front of one
of the lenses of his field-glass, one
may see the continuous spectrum of
the corona, the bright lines due to
the prominences, and if he looks
sharp, the bright-line flash spectrum
of the suns lower atmosphere as it
comes out.
But many amateurs and many per
sons not ordinarily interested in as
tronomy at all will want to do more
than merely gaze. They will desire
to make some observations which
will have scientific value. Several
things are open for them to do.
They may make observations on
the audibility of radio signals, as has
been arranged for the collaborators
in the Scientific Americans Eclipse
Investigation described here. Or they
may assist in locating the exact path
of the eclipse, as is being arranged
by the American Astronomical So
