ELUDES POLICE SENT TO
PREVENT HER SUICIDE
Chicago, Aug. Eluding a patrol
' of police who were guarding the Jack
son park lagoon to prevent her from
committing suicide, Miss Maud Pettes,
24 years old, a stenographer, leaped
from the bridge into the lagoon late
yesterday afternoon and was drowned.
Miss Pettes left her office at noon and
mailed two special delivery letters to
her mother, and a girl friend, telling
them that she was going to drown her
self in the park. Mrs. Pettes advised
the police at once on receipt of the
letter and a detail of twenty police
men was sent to patrol the lagoon.
Miss Pettes slipped through the
guard, it is thought, shortly before
dusk. The guard near the stone bridge
heard a splash under the arch. No
one was in sight when they ran up but
Miss Pettes gloves and purse were
found on the bridge rail. Her body was
recovered a short time later. Her
mother Is unable to give any reason
for her act.
When Officer Berry attempted to
arrest four revelers at 2 o'clock this
morning, one of the men, William I
Lueth, resisted arrest, and only the
arrival of a curious auto driver pre
vented the prisoners from making a
getaway. The three men were load
ed into the car and Lueth was subdued
after a fierce battle.
This morning in police court the
ring leader of the gang was given a 10
day sentence in the county jail, John
Schroeder was fined $1 and costs, and
the last two, Pat Cavanaugh and Rob
ert Bristo, were diamissed.
The men, well armed with alcoholic
stimulants, were carousing and yelling
at the rear of the Billburg place on
of North America, a nation wide simul
taneous, every member, campaign will
be inaugurated during which each
member of the Evangelical Protestant
church will be reached and given the
opportunity to make his or her gifti to
missions. A comprehensive and de
railed program was mapped out at the
above conference and intense enthu
siasm was displayed among those
present. Picked men are already be
ing secured who will go in teams
between Sept. 15, 1913, and Feb. 15,
1914 to at least 600 cities in the United
States where large conferences will
be held. Detailed information of
what promises to be the greatest work
of its kind ever attempted by a re
