Despite a narrow escape from dea'h in the water at Freeport on Sundav morning. Miss Oertle Jackson, one of the cliarming members of "Nick.-* Ttoller Skating (Jirls." a company of vuudeviUians owned and managed uy Frank Kaufmann, of Rayvlew avenue h(»re, appeared al Ithe Brlgbtoa Reaoh .Music Hali on Monday evenins; .'tiul will <onlinu»' lo do so for the re; l of Ihe week from present indication^.

Mi.ss Jackson is twenty-four, dark, aud very pretty. She returned to the east after a trip over tiie Orphum Cir¬ cuit on last .Saturday with five other members of the Kaufmann company and came to FYeeport. On Sunday morninK about ten o'clock, four of tliem went bathing at Kegel's bathing pavillion at the foot of Front streel. They had been cavorting in the waves very near to the beach for nearly an hour wlien suddenly the idea struck "liertie" that she would like to learii to .swim.
ru teach you," offered her sister Amy, who was one of the group of bathers, '('ome on out her tlie water'., tine."
The two girls were togetlier but a I ft'W momentH w''hen there came a cry from Amy. Her arms were extended above her iiead; she had apparently lost her footing. She tloundeied, but <'iiiiu' H) Uie surface almost immedi- aiely. Iiut "Gertie" was not in sight. There is a deep hole near the place where the girls were bathing, and it is presumed that Amy, who was guid¬ ing her sister, stepped into it. At any rate slie lost her hold on "Gertie" and tiie latter sank beneath the surface.
She had been under the waler for possibly a minute when Oeorge E. Wheeler, a Freeport real estate brok- ei-, went down for her. He made sev¬ eral attempts before he finally caught hold of her bathing suit. They came lo the surface together. A crowd oil bathers cheered mightily as Wheeler put out for the shore.
Miss Jackson was in a semi-con¬ scious condition when she was laid out on the beach and "flrst aid" was applied'in an effort to resuscitate her. But tlie attempts of the bathers avail¬ ed nothing and Dr. William H. Run¬ cie, who has been one of the central figures in the Carmanllailey murder mystery, was summoned. He worked over Miss Jacksou for possibly an hour before she finally regained her senses. She was taken to tlio Kaufmann home where for a time her condition was considered serious.
liut "Gertie," who hails from Lon¬ don where until last year she was well known in the music halls, "came back.' She was just as spry ou skates on Monday and Tuesday as she has ever been. In fact she waa a lit lie moru spry than she had t>een ai any time since she returned from thi- Wild and wooley.
liesides Miss Jackson In the famous troupe is Miss "Jlmmic" Wogg. Miss Doring, Miss Elfrieda and Miss Anna Mathews. The flrst named three were in the water with "Gertie" at the time of her narrow escape.

The magnitude of the Carman Hail¬ ey murder mystery as a nfwspap* r s'ory can hardly be conceived by thP lay miud. Tbe volume of matier thut daily—nightly was talked or ili.k<-U over the telephone and telegraph wiit-? from Freepori to the offices of metro¬ politan chronicles and then by oihfi- wires from syndicates to every pan of ihe civili/ed world compared favo! ably with the greatest stories of the decade excepting one—the Titanic dis¬ aster.
For twenty days Freepori was on'j There was on an average some 13,000 of the centers of the world's news, additional telephone calls from the vil¬ lage during the flrst ten days ot the story (they were not all newspape"- calls) and for a like period more than 20,000 words a night were "sent" by telegraph from the Western Union of¬ fice in the l-'^eeport railroad station by sometimes flve and sometimes more operators asisgned especially to 'han¬ dle" it.
The scene in Freepori when this startling murder mystery was at its height is one thai the village ha.s never known before. From July 1 to the tenth there were at times sixty reporters in the village, representing every newspaper In Manhattan and
. that night the telegraph win.'s ws/e : wigbled with 16,101 words to nine ; newspapers and nr-ws ai-sof ial ions i across the East RIm-i. ! During Ihe entire ijuio that llic .-.to I ry was on Grove street between ih<f ¦ I'reeport ("lub and Fine siretn became i "correspondent's row." The oflice ni j Th Nassau Post quite naturally was j converted into an eilitoilnl room for ' from ten to fifteen, the C'oniiucrcijl ' oflice of Ihe New York Telepiione Company threw open its doors ana welcomed the "boys" with open anus. Ils staff assisted quite niaieriaily in the handling of the news. Oihers along the streel supplied offices and typewriters for the reporters' use. James Campion, turned over his elec¬ trical store to llie use of the men who "pounded out" the "stufl" at night.
The story itself developed with re¬ markable rapidity a.s is shown by the accompanying tabic. l'"or the first lei days there were 274,223 words sent OTer the ticker at a cost of 11130.14, while tbe telephoue costs ran over $2,000. But even these flgures do not tell the story, for there were taxicab bills that ran heaven knows how high which city editors were comiielled to O. K. with llie space bills on each au¬ diting day.
