The rope holding the boat broke and they were carried out into the stream and down the river. Carried Toward Rapids by Current. Up to the time the boat reached mid- stream it made little progress. After it passed the bridges the current car- ried it swiftly towards the rapids. The bridze men did not see the boat until it was close at hand. When they caugit sight of it they called fire head- quarters and Assistant Chief Miller sent out two companfes of firemen. Boys in Farewell Handclasp. Hundreds swarmed to the river banks in a vain effort to save the boys. The boys. realizing their fate, stood up as | the boat neared the edge of the roar- ing whirlpool and shook hands good- bye.

Neither body has been found. Firemen Powerless to Aid. Never at any time was there a chance to save the boys. The firemen could do nothing.

Washingten, June 22—With the as- sistance in principal of the president’s peace plan of 18 nations, Secretary Bryan has felt encouraged to develop some detalls of the plan which so far have been only generally outlined. To- day he made a Statement touching the composition of the proposed commis- sions to investigate controversies, dé- signed to meet suggested objections that it would be, imposible to provide unbiased bodies of _investigators, whose findings would command respect of the principles. The statement is as follows Mr. Bryan in stating to the news- papermen that eighteen nations had no waccepted the principle of the pres- ent’s peace plan. the last nation be- & Spain, gave one of the details sug- gested for the completion o fthe plan. The plan contemplates a permanent international commission and the president suggests that the commission be composed of five nations, as fol- lows “One member from each of the con- tracting countries to be chasen by the government; one member to be chosen by each of the contracting countries from some other country and the fifth member of the commission to - be agreed upon by the two governments, the commission to be appointed as sgon as comvenlent after the-making the treaty; vacancies to be filled mecording to the original appointment. “This is merely a suggestion.

In 1784 Arthur Lee deseribed the place in language which seems strange to those who know “the smoky city” of today: “Pittsburgh is inhabited al- most entirely by Scots and Irish, who Tive in paltry log houses.

Head of Department of Labor Answers Seneational Charges. ‘Washngton, June 22.—Secretary Wil- son of the départment of labor tonight togk full responsibility for the post- | ponement of the Diges-Caminetti cass, the basis of sensational charges ile- graphed to the president yesterday by Unitend States Attorney John L. Mc- ab of San Francisco, with a request hat his resignation be accepted at once. { In a signed statement Secretary Wilson said that the attorney general postponed the Diggs-Caminetti case solely at his request. Mr. R. Cami- nettl, who recently assumed the du- ties of commissioner general of fmmi- gration, had not had time to fully ac- qaint himself with those duties. The statement continues: “He asked me for leave of absence in order that he might return to Cali- fornia to be"present at the trial of his son. I insisted that he remain here until he was su;clently acquainted with the duties of the position of commis- sioner general to be able properly to inspect the immigration stations at Pacific ports when he returned - to alifornia. I therefore suggested that I would ask the attorney general to post- pone the trial of the case until the Revt term of court.

Senator Woerks Intreduces ' Bill Prohibition Amendment. For Washingten, Jjune 23—Senator John Werks of California has a novel plan for reducing intemperance. He has offered an amendment to the Constitution of the United States pro- hibiting the manufacture, sale or im- portation of distilled aleohslie liquors, exeept for mechanical, seientific and ‘medical purposes. The senator states that in stopping the manufacture of whiskey, brandy, rum, gin and other spirituous liquers ,thus allowing only beers and wines to be made in this country, fewer persons would be thrown out of work than might be im- agined. » 1f the widespread and dlsastrous ef- fects due to the use of strong drink are-taken as the measure, only G487 persons are engaged in distilleries, while 54,579 are engaged in making beers and wines. The amount of cap- ital invested in the distelleries is about $72,000,000 ,0r less-than ten per cent. of the total capital invested in the manufacture of distilled and fermented liquors. The government collects an annual tax of nearly $150,000,000 on whiskey, alcohol and brandy ,and Sen- ator worke would have the deficit made up by Increased tax on fermented Iiquors. The idea Is not his own, but “was conceived by a Calofornia man who has made a study of the statistical side of the question.
