I had never seen young William Warren, but I knew about him—the whole town knew about him. He had joined the army with our Na tional Guard. The boys were still singing his praises. He had been through a lot at the front and had won the complete devotion of his men by his untiring efforts and unceasing good humor. He had re turned to his father’s clinic almost immediately upon his return to the States. I had heard little about him in recent months. “What about the woman they were dragging for yesterday?” I asked. “They found her earlier this morning. Plain case of suicide. But when the boats were coming in to the dock over there by those willows they found a man’s hat. It had his name inside—William Warren.” “And about the same time,” an other put in, “the police find this car on the bridge, out of gas and nobody around.” He pointed to a green sedan that several officers were shaking down. “They find a driver’s license on the steering post in the name of young Doc Warren. They figure something has hap pened to the Doc, so while they radio headquarters for a check the boats lower the grab hooks and start working again.” I edged my way over near a couple patrolmen who had arrived from headquarters. Calls to Doc Warren’s home, his office, the two hospitals, all brought the same re sponse: he wasn’t there. His wife had told the officers that he had left home early, before she and the children were up. He had come home late after an emergency operation, seemed unable to relax, and had spent a restless night. She had awakened while he was dress ing and asked if he had a call. He explained that he was just going out to clear the cobwebs from his mind. He had kissed her goodby. She had thought no more about it until the police called. I moved back to the rail to watch the boats as they trolled slowly toward us, the grappling hooka searching the lake bottom in the lane between them. The water was plenty choppy, a cold raw wind had been blowing out of the north since yesterday. Nothing about the scene seemed urgent. The boats moved slowly. The crowd just stood and watched, coat collars turned up against the wind. A young boy had crawled under my arms to press himself against the rail, excited by his first-hand experience with tragedy. “They got somethin’,” he shouted, and the crowd came to life. All turned toward the men in the boats, watch ing with a strange fascination, wait ing to see what was being dragged out. Someone said, “That’s him!” when che men pulled the thingjloose from the hooks. “They put him in a gunny sack!” We saw the men in one of the boats peering into the sack. Then one of them, looking up at us, pulled out and held up a decoy some hunter had lost. There was a mur mur of relief, of restrained amuse ment, and the crowd settled back again into their coat collars. Someone commented, “This jump ing off bridges is getting to be an epidemic.” Another one questioned, “How do you know he jumped ? Maybe he was pushed.” Another said, seriously, “That’s right. My boy knew him. He wasn’t a coward. If he’s in that lake he was murdered.” A siren wailed and the crowd fell back to make room for another pa trol car which drew up alongside the green sedan. “There’s Old Doc Warren,” someone in the crowd said as an elderly man stepped out of the car. I worked my way toward the cars. I could hear Old Doc Warren talk ing. “Yes, this is his car. He has been working hard—too hard, but what doctor hasn’t these days? So far as I know he has no enemies, but I don’t believe my son would commit suicide!” There was another stir of excite ment. I threaded my way back to the rail to see if this time they had really found him. The boys in the boats were hav ing difficulty hauling in the lines, but when the catch broke water we could see it was just a log. As they dropped it back the shrill whistle of the interurban reminded Once again Pittsburgh is em broiled in a controversy over Stephen A. Foster, one of its most famous sons, as the result of a decision by the city council to abandon the Stephen Foster Mem orial home. Rather than spend $10,000 to re habilitate the memorial home, the city is giving up the 14-room man sion which some biographers term the “authentic site” of Foster’s birth. The once stately place has become dilapidated, with plaster falling, porches collapsing and romping school children peppering its windows with stones. Three direct descendants of ^the noted composer may be left home less as a result of the abandonment. The three, a grandson, granddaugh ter and great-granddaughter, have lived in the building for more than 30 years. The granddaughter, Mrs. Jessie Ross, 72, has been acting as caretaker for the city. In its 'decision not to repair the roe that I was already late for work. I reluctantly pulled myself away and headed toward town. Down the road I stopped at Phil’s Phil-Er-Up. I liked Phil and I could save the city gasoline tax. “Where’s the boss?” I asked the young attendant who dashed out to wait on me, “up at the lake watch ing them drag for the body?” “Gosh, no!” exclaimed the boy as he fumbled with the hose. “Has he been having a time! His wife had a baby this morning, a week before she was expecting it!” Just then Phil came out of the living quarters in the back with an other young man. Phil was beaming like the traditional proud father as he pulled his hat down firmly. The other man didn’t seem excited. I heard Phil say, “Hey, Doc, you forgot your hat.” He turned to go back. But the other man laughed. “You were too excited to notice that I didn’t have one when I walked in here for gas. The wind blew it off as I stepped out of my car on the bridge.” building, the city council declared that the rambling brick homestead has “ceased to have any value as a memorial.” The council therefore is deeding the property back to heirs of James H. Park, wealthy steelmaster who bought it in 1914 and gave it to the city with the stipulation that it be maintained as a museum containing a collection of Stephen Foster mementoes. Music-lovers of the city later raised $500,000 to build an elaborate Gothic memorial to Foster on Uni versity of Pittsburgh campus. This memorial contains the largest col lection of Foster’s manuscripts and other belongings. It now is the mecca for thousands of visitors who formerly called at the Stephen Foster Memorial home. Another controversy over Foster raged in 1934 when Henry Ford bought what was claimed to be Foster’s “real birthplace” and moved it to his outdoor museum in Dear born, Mich. William McNair, Pitts burgh’s mayor at the time, claimed the millionaire car manufacturer bought “the wrong house.” Mrs. Evelyn Foster Bomeweck of Detroit, a niece and biographer of Foster, said the composer was bom in a white frame cottage which was tom down and replaced in 1865 with the brick mansion which became the Stephen Foster Memorial home. Foster died in 1863. Playing Child Termed Human Caution Sign A playing child should be a Hu man Caution sign to motorists, of ficials emphasize in connection with a nationwide plea for highway safety. One of every three children who die is killed in a traffic accident, according to the 1947 edition of Accident Facts, a publication devot ed to safety promotion. One-third of the accidental deaths of children 5 to 14 years of age are the result of motor vehicle accidents. Motorists are cautioned to observe the following rules: 1. Always “Watch Out for Kids.” 2. Keep clear of bicycles—right or wrong—as they are defenseless against a motor vehicle. 3. Be on the lookout for children darting out between parked cars. Reduce speed and increase watch fulness in school zones and resi dential areas. 4. Always remember that children have not reached the age of discre tion and judgment—drivers must think for them. 5. Children play in driveways and | around parked vehicles — always j make sure children are out of th# i way before starting a parked vehicle, I 6.
