That he was not killed is probably
due to the quick action of his compan

LIFE LINE SHORT;
3 DEAD IN WAVES
Two Girls and Young Man Who
Attempts Rescue Drown Off
Chicago Lake Shore.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 26. The ropes on
the life preservers were 15 Iec"t too
short.
So three victims of the undertow,
two sisters and a hero who died trying
to save them, were drowned in the
swift currents that whipped off the
north shore yesterday.
The dead are:
CATHERINE RICE. IS years old,
who lived at 1449 North Dearborn
st reet.
ISABEM.E RICE, 13 years old, a sis
ter. ROY JACKSON. 20 years old, who
I lived at Goethe and Dearborn streets.
About "5 bathers were in the lake
off Oak street when screams attracted
their attention to where the two girls
were struggling in the water about
40 feet from shore. Margaret Rice, 16
years old, another sister, was a few
feet nearer shore.
Screaming for help, and their heads
: struggling gins. i ne line was la leet
I too short.

ried the girls and their rescuers al-
most a block along the shore. Curtis
managed to get hold of Margaret and
: swam ashore w ith her and then went
j back for the others. Jackson reac hed
! Catherine, the oldest sister, but as he
tried to support her in the water, s;he
grasped him in a death clutch and they
j went down together.
I Hampered by the preserver. Klebba
was having a desperate tight with the
! undertow and Curtis passed him and
was within 10 feet of Isabelle. the
1 youngest sister, when she became ex
hausted. Rut panic had not seized her.
for she smiled at Curtis as the waves
closed over her head.
The excitement caused a man who
was holding the end of the rope at
tached to the preserver Klebba was
swimming with, to drop the rope and
Klebba had a hard time to get back to
shore.
Charles A. Dupee. 1416 North Dear
born street, nearly lost his life while
trying to rescue the sisters. The girls"
bodies were recovered by Captain Car
land of the government life-saving
station. Jackson's body has not been
found.
"Had the rope on the preserver been
15 feet longer, we could easily have
saved them all," said Louis Klebba
last night.

AUTO RECOVERED
FOR FITZGIBBONS
Sheriff Bruner Returns Car
Which Was Stolen Some
.Weeks Ago in This City.
IS BEATTY IMPLICATED?
Authorities Inclined to Belief Moline
Man Under Indictment at Peoria
Is Guilty.
Sheriff O. L. Bruner returned last
evening from uaiesburg witn tne au
tomobile of Mike Fitzgibbons, Cordova
farmer, which was stolen some six
weeks ago from in front of the rA. Mc
.Mahon saloon on Eighteenth street,
between First and Second avenues.
Local authorities are inclined to the
belief that Herbert Beatty, Moline. w ho
is under indictment at Peoria for the
theft of the automobile of Louts M.
Hines, county treasurer, is implicated
in the robbery and is the 'mysterious
stranger" whom Fitzgibbons left in the
car.
The tip came to Sheriff Bruner that
the missing car was In Galesburg. It
was located in a garage in that city.
The machine had been purchased from
a "stranger" some weeks ago. It was
! sadly in need of tires and other repaiVs
land these had been put on the ma
RAIM 'chine. Sheriff Bruner paid for them
I and the machine was turned over to I
ihim and Mr. Fitzgibbons In turn re
munerated the sheriff.
1 " Beatty Guilty l
i
The authorities have been trying to
get a line on the man whom Fitzgib
bons left in his car when he went into
the McMahon saloon to secure a bonds
man after his arrest for not having
the lights on his auto burning. Al
though it has not yet been clearly es
tablished, it is believed that Beatty Is
the man whom Fitzgibbons gave a ride
from Mollne. It is thought he drove
to Galesburg, sold the car, pulled ofT
another theft there and then went to
Peoria, where he proceeded to get ar
rested for the stealing of an automo
bile from the county treasurer.
Whether fitzgibbons will prosecute
Heatty or not is a question, as the j
farmer seems satisfied to get his ma- j
chine back again.

j pQW UP GOLF COURSES
IS PLAN TO SECURE FOOD
i ixjndon. Aug. 2b. Proposals tnat
golf courses, cricket and football fields
1 plowed
for raising crops during
! war time have been reaching the war
office.
I Sherwood,
; Walton-Heath Golf
secretary of the
i r t-via . iaiia iuii in u, u v uj;owui
j points out that there are at least 2.0U0
j goif courses in the country which could
spare some if not considerable land
for cultivation. The Walton-Heath club
12 acres under cultivation, and ita sec
rptarv believes that if other clubs, in
cludine cricket and football oreanlza-
tions. would do the same, the scheme
would provide employment for thous
ands of unskilled workers, and add
considerably to the nation's food sup
ply. In these days of self-sacrifice no one
appears to be wanting to enjoy him
self on the golf links. They are gen
erally deserted, and probably will be
to the end of the war. Ij. B. Gulllch,
secretary of the Golfers' club, lias sug
gested that the hundreds of the club
houses should be offered to the mili
tary authorities for use as hospitals.
This would provide 25.000 beds, and
I j the clubhouse staff would be availably
v i for enolriner and attendance.
Another of Mr. Gullich's proposalg is
using the 20,000 caddies who are now
idle to help farmers get In the har
vest. The Purple Cross, says a London
cable, is to be organized to supple
ment the services of the Red Cross.
The humane mission of the new or
ganization will be to kill all badly
wounded horses on the various battle
fields so as to save them needless mis
ery and to rescue such as are only
slightly wounded or are. wandering
riderless. Men only are to be engaged
in this work, and the humane society
has asked for funds and volunteers to
the service.
