WAVEDROWNSTWO ~ CRIPPLED KIDDIES Ni;w Yorkers Meet Death Playing 0n Beach New York, Aug. 7.—A high rolling wave swelled out of the surf at Rock- ! away Park, Queens, yesterday and broke on the beach. It had come wholly unexpectedly, No such wave had preceded it and no high wave followed it. But that one was enough to-engulf five little crippled children, patients at the Convalescent home for ! Hebrew children -at the foot of beach 110 street, and two of them . were drowned. Had their limbs been nor- mal they would have escaped with ease, Had their lung resistance not been that of invalids they would have laughed at the experience. The drowned were Pauline Higgins, 9 years old, of 631 Forty-eighth street, Manhattan, and Marian Levin, 9 years old, of 8311 Boulevard, Rock- away Beach, Queens. Three others, | Anthony Roustella, 9 years old; Oscar Blyman, 8 and Harold Stempner, 8, | were rescued by attendants. The Higgins girl had been an inmate of the home for four years, Marian Levin for three .years. Twenty-two crippled children, in all, were taking their morning “‘water cure,” prescribed by Dr. Leo Mayer, physician in charge of the institution. They were placed on the sands where only little rippling waves could reach them. They were shouting gleefully while the Misses Anna Quain, Olga Eck and Theodora Woodward, nurses, stood by and watched. It is custom- ary for the children to leave their crutches at the home while taking the morning surf bath. Then came the wave, unnoticed by the three nurses until it broke on the shore. Five of the twenty-two chil- dren were swept from their feet, Three of them grasped a rope leading to a float, Miss Quain and Miss Eck dashed into the water and got An- thony Riustella and Oscar Blyman. Miss Woodward rescued the Stemp- ner boy. S. R. Bonds, a schoolteach- er voluntarily serving at the home, carried the Higgins girl to the beach and Joseph Jochin, a kitchen em- ploye, carried Marion Levin ashore. Both the Higgins girl and the Levin girl were unconscious. Pulmotor crews tried artificial respiration Whi]el physicians worked hard to revive the two girls. They fafled, however, to respond to the treatment. Miss Gwendolina Grattan, superin- tendent of the home, was prostrated by the accident. Leonard 1. Stein, vice-president of the home, in a state- ment later said that the drownings were entirely the result of an accident. He said that had the children been normal the arrival of the wave would have been but an incident of bathing. CHEATED, HOWLS, HE NOW IS IN LOCKUP Rum Agent Complains of Getting $2,000 Fake Check New York, Aug. 7.—The warfare between the amateur and professional buotlemrs of Newark, claimed an- other bunch of victims yesterday. David :Geltzeller of 45 Kerr avenue, Newark, in'a highly overwrought state walked into Newark. police headquar- ters and said to Lieut. Kuhn: “I have here in my hand a certi- fied check for $2,000 which is not like other certified checks, as it has been returned marked ng’good. And 1 want to find the goniff that tricked me."” Lieut. Kuhn took Geltzeiler in to see Capt. Frank Brex of the detective bureau. He explained that on Friday night he met one Abie Green, who offered to get him a customer who would buy fifty-seven cases of whis-| key for $2,280. Green wanted a com- mission of $114. Geltzeiler said he agreed, and late that night took a truck of liquor to a point in Branford place, Newark, where Green, with a “Mr. Emery,” appeared in another truck and took charge of the cargo of liquor. Emery, he said, gave him $280 in cash and a certified check for $2,000 and departed with the load of whisky. The next day, Geltzeiler said, re- turned the check over to Mannie Rowicz, who tried to cash it and wound it was a fake. Now, he said, he wanted Captain Brex to use the power of the police to find the men who had swindled him. “I think,” said Captain Brex, ‘that I should punch your nose. However, I'l!' see what we can do. First, you are under arrest, and now I'll send out for Mr. Able Green.” A little later- detectives brought in Mr. Green and Mr. Rowicz. The lat- ter was held as.a material witness, and Green and Geltzefler were held with- out ball on charges of conspiracy and transporting liquor illegally. They will be turned over to the federal au- thorities today. And in the meantime Mr. Emery and his load of liquor are missing. WHen Green was taken into police headquarters he pointed to Gelt- zeller and said to Captain Brex: “This bird didn’t pay me my com- mission of $114. I want that you should make him pay me.” CHILDREN’S ALL WOOL BATHING SUITS Navy only, one-piece, shoulder fastening, sizes 22 to 27.. .
