Ei(jhteenyear-oid Boy Loses
Gallant Battle.
BRAVES WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS.
Before He Succumbs to Terrible
Current He Swims 100 Yards
Farther Than Bid the Fa
mous Captain Webb.
Niagara Falls, X. Y., Auk. 1 7.--August
Spore r. an eighteen-year-old hoy
or this city, went to his death hi the
whirlpool rapids alter a gallant battle
with the giant waves between tin low
er bridges and the pool.
With three companions Sporer went
for a swim in the river at the old
Maid of the Mist landing. He struck
out at once for the middle of the
stream and then turned toward the
bridges.
His companions called to him to turn
back, for the current is very swift at
that point, but he kept on downstream
and Avas caught in the great sweep,
the first break from the smoother Ava
ters to the rapids.
The boy battled for n time against
the current, but to no wall. Then,
evidently realizing that he Avas be
yond human help and Avas to he car
ried through the rapids, Avhlch took
the life of Captain Webb and Avhidi
have resisted every unaided human
effort at passage, lie deliberately turn
ed doAvnstream and began a grim light
for life.
Not in all the history of the river
has such, a brave battle been Avltness
ed. Although but a frail boy, Sporer
Avent into the rapids SAvlinmhig strong
ly and heldt his own until he struck
the giant AvaA'e Avlileli curls up oppo
site the old battery elevator. Then he
went under and for a second Avas lost
to sight of the score of people Avho
stood on the lower anchorage.
Again and again he disappeared,
only to reappear, each time lighting
desperately against the terrible cur
rent, but Avhen Avlthln 300 yards of
the Avhlrlpool his strength gave out,
he sank and Avns lost to vIoav.
E'-en then he had swum perhaps 100
yards farther than did the great Eng
lishman, Captain Webb.

Grand Jury Continues Probe
of Meinze Conspiracy.
BOSTON MAN ALSO ACCUSED.
Powerful Moneyed Interests Be
lieved to Be Behind the Men
Who Made Loans on
Copper Stock.
New York. Aug. 17. Two Indict
ments Avere voted by the grand Jury
in connection with the theft of $110,-i
(Hid worth of Ileinze Copper stock
while it was being held by the Wind-!
f.or Trust company.
The Indictments, which are against I
Donald L. Persch nnd A. D. F. Adams, j
u wealthy stockbroker of Roston, j
charge grand larceny In the llrst do-1
Itree. j
John 1'. Melntyre, attorney for
i 'el sell, stated that If his client could
ret out of the Tombs he would be able
u regain most of the missing securi
ties or the money realized on those
sold.
"This young man can go to those as
sociated with hiin In this nffair," said
Mr. Melntyre, "and get hack cash or
i-ocurlties, as no one else can do. As I
have before asserted, lie Aas a tool In
the hands of more poA;erful, more ex
perienced men."
Information has come into the pos
session of the district attorney thnt in
not a foAV banking institutions of high
standing In the community loans have
been made for rich bonuses on securi
ties which Avere thereupon used for
speculation. How far tills system of
tlnance is Avithin the hnv Is a question
which it is knoAvn that thu present
grand Jury Is very eager to learn.
The grand jury also purposes to in
quire if hi other loans from Avhlch
rich commissions Avere charged subor
dinate employees got tips for helping
put the deals .through. In the Helnze
loan It avus discovered thnt Sterling
Rirmlnghani got a fee of $2."0, for
Avhlch after exposure he was dismiss
ed. The grand Jury wants to knoAV
Iioav provident this "tipping" system
extends in the trust company's past
business.
The district attorney's ollice has
learned that in addition to the so
ailed man higher up" there must
ha-o been lanverful moneyed interests
behind the transactions. It has been
admitted by several Avltnesses that the
$00,000 advanced to Joyce for his Cop
per stock Avas put up by Leonard J.
Field, a young curb broker and son ot
Jacob Field, a Stock Exchange broker.
That young Field was Avllllng to ad
vance the money without receiving
any security for it has puzzled the dis
trict attorney and has given rise to the
belief that some one else, with plenty
of means at his disposal, AA-as the real
lender.
Up to date the folloAVIng men have
been mentioned as connected with the
stock loan puzzle:
F. Augustus Helnze, Avho admits
that he oAvned almost all of the Davis-
Daly and Ohio copper stock, valued at
$110,000, placed as collateral In the
Windsor Trust company for a loan of
$50,000.
M. M. Joyce, broker of Helnze, who
put up the collateral Avlth the trust
company,
John Alvln Young, president of the
Windsor, avIio says It acted merely as
an agent In the transaction.
Sterling Rlrmingham, loan clerk of
thu Windsor, avIio Is said to have re
ceived $250 for his services.
W. L. Clark, the broker avIio orig
inally approached Joyce Avlth the prop
osition to raise money and introduced
Jojco to the Windsor Trust people.
Donald L. Persch, the broker, avIio
shares ollice room with Clark.
A. I). F. Adams, stockbroker, of Ros
ton, avIio Is said to havo turned over
Kiojioo shares of stock to Leonard J.
Field.
John S. SherAVOod, broker, avIio, act
ing, ho says, as Persch's broker, got
Joyce's collateral Immediately after it
had been left Avlth the Windsor Trust
compauy.
Leonard J. Field, Jacob Field's son,
avIio advanced $30,000 with Avhlch tho
collateral Avas bought. Field's com
mission Is said to have been $300.
Richard Kaufman, notebrokcr, Avho
introduced Sherwood to tho Windsor
Trust company, but snys ho was act
ing simply as a clenrlng ngeut for tho
loan.
Charles Katz, president of tho East
ern RrcAvlng company of Rrooklyn, de
scribed by some of thu Avltnesses ns
principal In thu loan niadu through
Kunfimui as clearing agent.

"It Is eminently proper that for

Avltli the Scriptural doctrine, peace
and good will to all.
"Wayne county is named after
the grand old Revolutionary Avar

"It Is customary to literally and
verbally give the president of the
