MISS KEAN IS MODEST
AFTER RECORD SWIM
Lansdowno Girl Who Did 26
Milc3 in Delaware River
Says "It's Nothing"
tA'!8!8 Anna,c- Kan, twenty years old. of
liSSfaii0, S "? Ulnic concratula
veriniT' i,er wny.lx.mlie swim
t i !n the Ielwre ler. She made
n L ..f0r, n .'meflcan women swim
mers. both for distance and for tlmo In
iii'l1 tJidnt Jra.ln harrt for thls wlm," said
Miss Kean today. "All I did was swim a
fille each day for the last week, sleep nine
r?,VI'M l"1 ea.1 whtever I felt like eatlnp.
This Idea of training for months and
months for a swim 1 dont think is entirely
practical or really necessary. I had neer
sn.am, ""y Brat distance before, but lately
I dec ded to try tho Delaware nier swim.
J reel fine with the exception of my ees
and they stlne terribly from that dirty old
Delaware Illxcr water. It certainly is the
dirtiest water I hare ecr been In."
"Swlmmlnir. I think. I th ii.oi nn,i ne
all. and t hae enJo)ed It for the last eight
years: i:ery girl who wishes to enjoy per
fect health should swim, for It's Just the
nri way in tne woild for a girl to de-
clop physically, and you certainly do feel
line after a good, long swim."
Miss Kean does not think or hardly
realize Just what she nccoinDllshed yester
day when, after a battle against wind, tide
unu a cnoppy river, she coered a distance
of twenty-six mlle3, establishing a record
ror women swimmers In this country, and
tins without having trained.
Miss Kean used the double-overarm
stroke during the entire swim, only stop
ping for a few minutes to take a cup of
chocolate ind a slice of eating chocolate.
"I did not surfer from the cold," she said,
"as the water was ery warm. Only my
shoulders felt chilled, for they were con
stantly exposed to the wind, which, ns'you
know, was chilly, but after 1 had been
In the water a short time I became acus
tomed to ex en this. Itcally, I thoroughly
enjoyed the swim, but I will not do any
moro long-distance swimming this year."
Miss Kean Is an accomplished musician
and cares more about that and exercise
than anything else.
Her swimming ability is due to the ex
cellent instruction she received from her
father, Andrew II. Kean, who many years
ago was one of the best-known swimmers
In America and Instrumental, with George
Klssler, In forming the old I'hlladelphla
Swimmers' Association, which was the first
swimming club to be formed In this city.

"dope" scourge.
For two years, according to the police.

teries In her left wrist with a penknife and
swallowed a large quantity of morphine. A
brnkeman on the train saw her act and
brought medical aid. When she recovers
Mrs. Samson will be sent to the Philadelphia
Hospital for drug treatment.
Edna Koch, twenty-one years old, H06
Louden street. Logan, was arrested by Con
stable Kdward Abrami nt Eighth and Baln

purchase a small package from . man who
had the appearance of being a "dope" ped
dler. The police say tho packago contained
cocaine. Abrams took the. girl Into Magis
trate Imbcr's ofllcc, where she telephoned
to her mother.
Mrs. Koch appeared at the Magistrate's
ortice, and she and her daughter went Into
a rear room to talk. A minute later
shrieks were heard In the room. The door
swung open and tho girl dashed out. She
ran to the roof. Constable Abrams fol
