DR. Je M. FISCHIER DROWNI3D IN HIARZ BOR SUNDAY A. Me Feul From the Deck of His New Power Boat in Waukegan Harbor Sunday and TWO MEN GO TO HIS RESCUE, BUT FAIL. Atty-W. F. Weiss and Bruce Stephens Try to Save Him-Lungmotor Used Over 2 Hours and for a Time Hope Was Felt. Dr. J. M, Fischer, a dentisi, aad recog- nized as one of the citys most prominent professional muen, was drowned in the wa- ters of the Waukegan harbor about 10 o'clock Sunday morning when he pitched from the dock of his power boat, the Wau- Wau-Tay-See, Physicians worked over the body of the victim for over two hours but *without avail, A heart-rending feature of the tragedy was that Dr. Fischer's wife and son Joe witnessed ail the harrowinig details withcut being able le render assist- ance. The miotorboat, which is a ful-Fabin cruiser, is one that Dr, Fischer purchased less than two weeks ago, and in which ho had taken great pride, On Sunday morning, accompanied' by his family, togethei with Attorney and Mrs. WilliamirF. Weiss and Bruce Stephens, he started outi n the boat for a cruise about the harbor, The rudder was acting badly, especially wlien an effort was mnade te send the boat 10 port. At limes instead of responding as il should, it seemied to send the craft 10 starboard, On one of those occasions the boat headed toward the dock, when it should have gone ie the opposite direction, To prevent a collision with the dock Dr. Fischer leaped te the rail and tried 10 fend off the blow which doubtless would have damaged the boat, In se d'oing ho lest his balance and plunged inie the water withouJt an autcry.
