Both started to swim to the doek. Thomas, when within a few feet of the dock, turned.to see if his brother was following him. As the younger brother bhad made little progress, Thomas realiged that his brother was in danger and he turned about and started to his aid. The expres-- sion on the face of the youth was that of pain, which it is believed was due to a cramp. When within ten feet of bim, Thomas saw--kis brother sink.

SIX the meantime Alfred Lowengrund of the Genesee hotel swam out to the scene of the drowning and began diving for the boy, while Nick lar-- son, former harbor master, with & helper, began dragging for the body. Sayles, however, selected a spot nearer to the dock and after diving several times, found the body at a depth of about 25 feet. The body was removed to the dock where artificial respiration _ w a s started immediately in an attempt to revive the youth. This work was directed by Sayles and Francis Farnley, another life guard, until the arrival of Dr. George C. Callahan. Others who assisted in the attempts at resuscitation included W.C. Rus-- sell, Ciklev. Peterson, Martin Soren-- son and Hiram Holland of the Wau-- kegan Yacht club, and Adam Det-- loff. harbor master. Work for Two Hours °_ Artificia}l respiration was followed for more than two hours before the group of men decided that their ef-- forts were hopeless.

STATE PROBING CLAIM FOX RIVER BEING POLLUTED Springtfield, TIl., July 11.--(AP) --| Pollution@t the Fox river will prob-- ably be the first study by the newly authorized State Sanitary Water board. ' ! A 'survey of the stream has been started by the state department of public bealth, and as soon as the commission is formed, the survey will probably be unified with the commission's work, Harry Fergu; son, chiet sanitary engineer, said to-- FORMING NEW _ BOARD The Fox river. Ferguson pointed out, is perbaps . the stream . most widely used in lllinois for reerea tional pwaour--nshing, awimming an. boating--and as such forms an admirable subject for the first work oft the board. The new water board will consist of the director of public health, the director of conservation, the direc tor of purchases and constructions and several persons to be named by the governor. The director of health is' the logical choice for chairman, since the work of commission comes within the scope of his department. The board is empowered to exam-- ine and investigate the source and degree of pollution of any stream or body of water in the state, mak-- ing bacterial studies to determine whether the water is fit for recrea-- tional purposes. After determining the source of pollutien the board lhu the authority to abate the pol-- lutton. Investigation of the Fox river val-- ley is a project that Kane and Ken-- dall county have. been work: ing for several years. Several at-- tempts have been made to form con-- servancy districts but without suc-- cess. Governor Emmerson is expected to name appointiee members of the commission upon hbis return to Springfield. Meanwhile a corps of engineers has established headquarters at Ge-- neva and will study the stream dur-- ing the summer months, working out of Geneva. This period was chosen because'the river is usually at its lowest stage, and the poliution be-- comes more noticeable. = ILLINOIS LEADS IN EXPENDITURES ON PLAYGROUNDS STILL ON AN INCREASE Spent Sum of $6,413,000 Last Year for Recreation Center, It is Stated.
