Wilmette Boy Drowns At Green Lake, Wis. Davis Roberts Meets Death After a Dive from Sailboat. Girl Com- panion Swims to Safety Funeral services for Davis Rob- erts, who was drowned Saturday morning in Green Lake, Wis., were held at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday after- noon at the First Congregational church of Wilmette. Young Roberts who was 19 years old, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe IL. Roberts, 808 Greenwood avenue. . He lost his life Saturday when he and Miss Marion Frost, also of Wil- mette, attempted to swim from a sail-boat, almost a mile from shore. They set the sail.n the wind before leaving the boat, but the sudden lurch swung it around before the wind and when the pair came to the surface, after their dive, the boat was sailing rapidly away. Miss Frost was able to overtake the craft and climb aboard, but Rob- erts became weakened, and drowned before the girl could bring the boat around to pick him up. He went down for the third time when the boat was almost within reach. The couple were attending a house party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pope at Green Lake, given by their son and daughter for a number of young people. The body of the boy was recov- ered at 8:30 o'clock Saturday night, before the father, Roscoe L. Roberts arrived at Green Lake.

The street there is very narrow, making it dangerous for the heavy traffic at that point. The plan is to make the street several feet wider by securing ground along the side of the road by condemnation. Corpor- ation Counsel Frank T. Murray of Evanston is to start these proceed- ings at once. Plans are also contemplated to extend Sheridan road from Main street to University place, Evanston, thus avoiding the prevalent confus- ion caused by the divergence of traffic tt other parallel streets.
