LEARN DETAILS OF DROWNING OF

MISS CONVERSE

Details of tbe drowning of Miss

Maurine Converse, a former Richmond

lrl, and a daughter of the late Judge Converse, at Mendota Beach, Madison,

Wis., one week ago today, have been received by Mrs. Roscoe Kirkman of

this city, who is a cousin of Mrs. Con verse.

The report shows that the accident

happened at a beach which was con sldered dangerous, where many prev

lous accidents had occurred, but where there were apparently no precautions

taken to safeguard bathers.

Mrs. Kirkman ulso learned for the first time that Mary, the - younger

Bister of the family, who was also bathing at the same time, had a very

narrow escape from drowning. Steps Off Ledge.

The accident occurred on Thursday, the afternoon of August 24, one day after the Converse family had moved from Baraboo to Madison, Wis. Mau

rine, Mary, and Blair Converse, with Grant Hyde, an instructor in journal

ism in the university, had gone bath

ing. They had waded out about one

hundred feet from the shore, when

they suddenly stepped off a ledge into

forty feet of water. Maurine disappeared and did not come to the surface again. Her lungs were probably filled with water al

most immediately. Mary, the young

er sister, was seized by her brother

Blair, after she had come to the sur

face of the water twice. In throwing up his arm hs he stepped off into the deep hole, Grant Hyde, the other member of the party, dislocated his shoulder and was unable to dive after Maurine. Her body was not recovered from the water until half an hour later, when all attempts to resuscitate her failed.

SOCIAL SERVICE BUREAU CLOSES SECOND YEAR

Today ends the second year's work

of the social service bureau.

Since it was organized two years

ago with John Melpolder as secretary,

several important things have been

accomplished. The exact condition of over one thousand families which ap

ply for the aid of charity may be

found readily through a system of records which has been organized.

Through teaching the people how to

save money during the summer and

prosperous times the amount of char

ity work has been materially reduced.

This year an important addition was

made to the bureau. The work of the

city visiting nurse was put under the supervision of the bureau. Special at

tention has been given to fcabios during the hot weather, and the mortality rate has been decreased. Hold Baby Contest. The first Richmond better baby contest, which will be held next week, is one of the largest things which has ever beA conducted by the social service bureau. Last week the county commissioners

opened a new field of work for the social service bureau for next year. All poor relief done In Wayne township next year by the trustee will be upon the recommendation of the social service bureau. The cost of running the charity bureau this year has been much less than last. Last year the budget was $7,000, and thi3 year the total expenditures will not exceed $5,000.

the Chautauqua, on Republican day, criticized Democratic pork barrel legislation and answered the statements made on the previous day from the same platform by Hon. John A. M. Adair, Democratic for governor -"Keeping the United States out of

war has not been a difficult thing," said Judge Comstock. ' "No nation wanted war wth the United States, as is clearly shown by the concessions which' they have made to us. Escape Other Wars.

"We were not involved In the Franco

Prussian ' war, nor the Crimean war,

and one Theodore Roosevelt Kept us out of war and was active and demonstrative in establishing peace between

Russia and Japan

"The Democrats talk of prosperity and ask why the nation should change administrations. The prosperity which

we are now enjoying has grown out of

the war. and the Democratic admlnis tration is in no way responsible for it,

"We are exporting horses, mules, grain, automobiles, ammunition and barbed wire. These are not the usual and ordinary usages of our intercourse

with Europe. It is not ar legitimate prosperity." Recalls Good Work. "The Republican party bases Us ap

by the railroad brotherhoods and the'

other by the railway executives. This latter amendment, it is expected, will be passed by the house under a special rule tomorrow. Rush Amended Bill. After the president's return to the white house it was said that it had

been agreed that attention would be

concentrated on the amended bill, Increasing the interstate commerce commission. It is said that the president and Secretary Lane would seek to incorporate in the increase measure the eight-hour plan, the plan for the commission to investigate the workings of such a plan and the military necessity plan which would permit the president to take over the railroads

and to draft men to operate trains if needed for military purposes only. It was said that the house would pass such an omnibus bill tomorrow, sure. In order to get a postponement of the strike order, should there be difficulty encountered in tne senate, whose rules prevent cloture methods, it is the intention of the president and Democratic leaders to pledge the pass

age of the eight-hour law and insist that the strike be called off. So far, the brotherhood chiefs have refused to say whether they will do this.

Unsigned letters gain no recognition with the postoffice authorities. Postmaster Beck said today. During th--last few weeks a flood of unsigned letters have been received by the post-; master. They have concerned every- i thing imaginable. No action can be i taken on ihem unless the grievance; can be investigated, ar.d the only way j that this can be done in most instances ' is through the assistance of the writers. Many threatening letters all cf which . are unsigned have been received by local people lately. These letters are brought to the attention of the postmaster, and in case the writers can be found, they will be prosecuted.
