Hundreds of Men Present and
None Attempt To Save Her
CHICAGO—WhiIe 200 men and
boys sat or stood within a compara
tively few feet of her, and in sight of
nearly 1,000 others, an unidentified
woman fell, or rolled purposely from
the north pier at the mouth of the
Chicago river yesterday afternoon,
and drowned. Although she scream
ed repeatedly for assistance, not a
hand in the crowd that watched her
struggles in the water was lifted to
save her. Instead, one of the gazers
stole the woman’s purse and hat,
which she had placed on the pier
beside her, and fled.
A half hour later the body was
taken from the water by Captain Car
land and his men from the life sav
ing station.
Statements of witnesses differ as
to whether the wo.nah intentionally
hurled herself into the lake or wheth
er she fell over on her side and then
rolled into the water as if stricken hj
the heat.
Captain Garland says the men could
have saved the woman and further
says that they "acted like a pack of
dogs.”

J. F. Curran of Washington, Pa.,
seated together at one side of the
car, were cut by flying glass, but es
caped the stones and bullets.

heat. At Sedalia, Mo., the train was

Desertions Will Become Wholesale Unless
Navy Adds Lemon Pie To Daily Menu
CHICAGO.—Unless the United
States navy adds lemon pie to its
menu, there is danger of wholesale
desertions. Two deserters from the
training ship Constellation were ar
rested yesterday in Chicago and both
declared that the reason they ran
away was because of a lack of pastry
containing lemon custard.
They were foundering themselves
on their favorite food in Pittsburg
Joe's Clark street restaurant when
Detective Frank Reick. wtv> overheard
them talking, suspected them of be
ing naval deserters.
"If we’d have had some of 'his,”
said one to the other, "we would still
be on the ship, eh, Steve? This
makes three pieces for me. How
many hav e you got away with?”
Detective Reick stopped them as
they were leaving the restaurant and
charged them with being deserters
from the navy.
“Don’t deny it,” said the officer,
"for I’ve got the goods on you. While
you were eating your fill you dropped
a remark about running away from
the ship. Come with me to the sta
tion.’’
Before the station was reached both
confessed that they were deserters
from the Constellation.

In other words, under the innocent

"Of interest above all others to
Americans was that intrigue which
completely smashed up the splendid

MURDER OF YOUNG
WOMAN SHROUDED
IN MYSTERY
TROY, N. Y. —The murder of a
boHutlkul young girl in a mysterious
automobile by two men and a woman,
who flung her body into Teal Pond,
a lonely spot off the main road in
the country near here, was dlsclosod
today when the authorities learnod
of the finding of the body. It was
identified as that of Miss Hazel I.
Drew, a governess in the family of
Prof. E. R. Cary, head of the Rensse
laer Polytechnic Institute of Troy.
The body was found by Gilbert Mil
ler, a farmer, who, in driving to the
city each day, passes the pond. He
noticed the body several days last
week, but thought it was merely a
bundle of clothes.
Finally It had floated near the shore
and then he discovered the seeming
bundle of clothes was a human body.
He Investigated and notified the au
thorites of Kenssalear college here.
An investigation by the district at
torney led to the identification of the
body by the girl’s father, John Drew,
of No. 400 Fourth avenue, and the
discovery that she had been rdlsslng
since Friday, July 3.
On that day the girl had gone to
her sister and had taken some clothes
with her In a grip. She told her sis
ter that she was going to see some
friends at WatervlOit, near here, and
that was the last seen of her alive.
SKULL FRACTURED
BY HEAVY WEAPON.
Detective Kaye learned that a
mysterious automobile with lights
out, had been seen taking the road
past Teal Pond at terrific speed on
the night Mlhs Drew disappeared.
This automobile was seen by an Inn
keeper whose place Is along the main
road and near a fork leading past
the pond. The automobile passed
the inn with apparently four people
In R. It returned shortly afterward
/with only three people In it. When
the body was found in the pond, the
girl's hat. and gloves were found on
the bank placed In such a position by
the slayers as to give the impression
that the girl had placed them there
herself and committed suicide. When
the district attorney and county de
tective examined the body there was
found a heavy bruise at the base of
the skull. This had plainly resulted
from a blow with a heavy metal In
strument. An autopsy was ordered
and the coroner found that the girl’s
skull had been fractured. The autopsy
also showed that death was not due
to drowning.
