plotted Into the Chicago ilvei bt
the east approach of the Jackaon
boulevard bridge Sunday hlghT wax
resumed Monday by members of the
police force at the city Are boats.
They were aided in their efforts by
a diver in the employ of the city.
The Identity of the victims, and the
number of persons who lost thelr
livea, however, are atill uniat own.
It was at first thought that the
automobile belonged to James E
Coegriff. of Salt Lake City. Utah,
who loft 4he Congress hotel with a
party of friends a short time before
the accident ocurred, on the way to
the Union station, but it was later
learned that the Cosgrlff party was
safe and that the machine belonged
to J. W. Schreffler. It Is said to be
one of two machines he has for hire
and was in charge of Ernest Camp
Mr. Schreffler was unable to locate
tha car today, and feared that the
machine belonged to him.
The car, it is claimed, was hired
from the saloon of William Krae-
mer, on Van Buren street, but it
waa impossible to learn who were the
occupants. The car was traced by
Its number, 4250 lllfliois—which was
discovered by a driver during the
night.
The moat plausible theory regard
ing the accident now is that Camp
whose aland was at Van Buren street
and Michigan avenue, had been en
gaged by a party to make a sight
seeing trip of the city and that
while on the way to the west side
of the city had driven the car into
the river. Camp's home was in the
•outh aide and It was learned that
his mother was expected here next
week to live with him.
The aocident ia similar to two pre-
vioua ones which have occurred here
within the last few years and which
resulted in the loss of four lives.
On August 17, 1904, a car contain
ing a woman and three men plunged
over the south abutment of the Rush
atreet bridge. AH were rescued, but
on# of the victims subsequently died
Tha following year a car containing
,J|ve Persona went into the river at
the same bridge from the north side
Three of the party were drowned.
.The louring car plunged Into the
river at Jackson boulevard from the
east approach of the bridge shortly
after 10 o'clock Sunday night while
the bridge waa turned. A man and
a woman were seen to come to the
surface and float down-stream, the
* man endeavoring to save the woman
by carrying her on hia back. After
drifting more than a block both sank
with last despairing cries for help.
That three others, perhaps four
went down with the automobile is
the belief of the bridge tenders at
the bridge at Jackaon and at Van
buren street and of other witnesses
of the tragedy. The other victims,
It ia believed, are under the ma
chine at the bottom of the river.
11 waa speeding at 25 miles an hour
and when It strpek the water, dove
into the mud on the river bed.
The screams most clearly distin

he turned it over and saw the brass
exploding cap. but then he precipi
tately vacated the premises.
Later he told a carpenter about it,
Mr. J. E. Oryder by name, and Mr.
Gryder thought it would make a
nice mantelpiece ornament for his
Httla home but after poking it over,
he decided he would "pass it up.”.
The contracting engineers refused
to let the thing lie around where
they were working, so it was pre
sented as a previous gift to Mr. J.
P. Hunter, proprietor of a near-beer
saloon, at No. 11 North Forsyth
street. Mr. Hunter bravely kept it
in an iron safe, behind the bar for
two whole days, but the weight of
Its 10 pounds began to weigh heavi
ly upon his conscience, and he com
menced to feel that he owed a cer
tain duty to his wife and family,
despite the fact that his life is heavi
ly insured.
So he tried to give it to a friend
who is a collector of curios. The
friend looked it over, and begged
to be excused.
Then somebody from the saloon
sent a message to The Journal of
fice, “You can have it if you come
and get it,” he said, "and welcome.
The derned old thing belongs to you,
anyway.”
So a reporter was sent to take it
in charge and write a “story" about
it. When the reporter got there and
looked it over he wished he had been
given some other assignment, but as
he hugged the 19 pounds of anni
hilation tightly, tenderly to his
bosom, with his finger nails dug into
its rusty metallic sides, and stagger
ed back toward The Journal office,
he could not help thinking how much
better a "story" it would make If
he should happen to drop it ou the
hard brick pavement.
The city editor didn't take kindly
to the idea, however, the lady re
porter shivered, and the staff pho
tographer refused |>ointhlank to snap
his camera at it. Even the joke-
writer who had first offered to take
it and use it for a sinker the next
time he went fishing for perch, back
ed out when he saw it and pleaded
that the piscatorial season had clos

At Sommerville, N. J., Robert
Simpson, a young mafi Of Newark,
was hypnotized before a large audi

by Prof. Arthur Everton, a profes

was pronounced dead by the staff
doctors of the Somerset Hospital
After being placed In a cataleptic
state the youth did not regain con

Prof. Everton was arrested, but
was released in the custody of two
policy.officers, who accompanied him
to the hospital where he remained
all night In an effort to restore life
to his helpless subject, which the
physicians said would be impossl
ble.
Simpson had been employed by
the hypnotist as a professional sub

when the performance, which was
the first at Sommerville, began he
seemed in normal health. Everton
passed his hands over Simpson's
face a number of times while the
young man was lying on the floor,

rigid.
Everton then raised it and placed
it between the chairs so that the
neck rested on the back of one
chair and the ankles on the back of
the other. The hypnotist then stood
upon the rigid body of bis subject
and performed other feats to show
that Simpson was In a complete cat-

When Everton had bowed hit ac

body erect, leaning it against a back

the subject. The audience soon rea

THE NEW FERTILIZER.
POISON VALUABLE HORSES.
A discovery of far-reaching impor

the new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the islands near
Charleston, . It has .loug been
known that lime is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
cannot live when it has been exhaust
ed from the soil. It has also been
known that old worn-out lands are
extremely deficient in lime, and that
sour, badly-drained lands have their
lime is a for mthat is not usable by
growing crops.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 12 4, U. S.
Dept, of Agriculture, says: “All
the applications of lime Increased the
yields * * The best yields were
obtained with the lime in the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oys
ter shells standing first * * Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertilizer
alone.”
This new fertilizer whir'll presents
lime in its most usable form is mad*
by a new process of burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash. The result is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consum
er only 17.00 per tovi. It reclaims
worn-out lands in a marvelous man
