T JOINED the crowd gathered on
the bridge watching the crew
dragging the lake above the dam.
“Who are they searching for this
time?” I asked as I pushed closer
to the rail.
“Young Doc Warren,” several an
swered at once.
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

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
