Speculation as to the Mishap to the Warshp
Columbia
WASHINGTON, July l3.-The navy de-
partment was informed several da"s ago
OF the mishap Co the Columbia while In
the dry dock at Southampton, as reported
in the Associated Press cable dispatches.
but for some reason saw fit to keep the
information from the public. Captain
Sumner sent two cablegrams on the sub
ject. The first reported that the vessel
had been stranea and the second. After ex-
animation had been made, stated that no
serious injury had been sustained by the
vessel. He expected to start homeward
today.
Officials here. basing their views on the
full details contained in the press dis
patches are inclined to tear Captain Sum-
ner has underestimated the real damage.
1t is inconceivable to them how ves-
sci could be under such heavy strain in q
:ary dock without receiving substantial in
Jury and the fact that the heavy stanch-
ions supporting the protected deck were
bent is evidence that she must have been
terribly strained. If her bottom plates
are buokleo and bent as reported it will
interfere greatly with the speed trial
which was looked forward to with SO
much interest by naval officers and which
the damage is not irreparable ana when
the snip returns to New York she will
probably be at once placed in dock and
again examined by the constructors. If
it found that she is badly warped she
will be sent to Cramps to be straightened,
which will involve the removal OF many
OF her plates and frames and will con-
sumo much time. The accident is as
cribed at the navy department to the fact
that the dock people at Southampton are
not used to handling naval vessels.

MISS NUGENT WAS TICKLE
She Changed From Godfrey to Thomas
Treacy
After the First Had Given Up His Money
Then He Was Beaten and Il
Dying

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-The cause
of the mysterious attack recently made
ON James Godfrey by Thomas Treacy and
police, and with the solution of the mys-
terry comes story Of love and jealousy
seldom seen except in novels.
The central figure is Miss Catherine
Nugent, comely young woman who con.
ducts boarding house. Godfrey, who is
now lowering between life and death at a
hospital, became infatuated with Miss
Nugent in Ireland and induced her to
emigrate with him to America. He had
S1400 in bank and at the earnest solicita-
tion of Miss Nugent, who aspired to con-
duct boarding house. he gave her the
money to establish a place In this city.
About this time Godfrey's troubles began.
Thomas Treacy appeared on the scene and
Miss Nugent promptly fell in love with
him. Godfrey, who was eng aged to the
young woman, saw that the tide had
turned against him and attempted to
Treacy urged the same action and was
successful enough to induce Miss Nugent
to 60 with him to secure a marriage Ii
cense. When the couple appeared before

had forgotten the license and had to leave
after the document. While he was gone,
Godfrey, who had heard what was going
on. appeared on the scene. He demanded
that she revoke all her promises to Treacy
and marry him instead. The young
woman consented and the couple retraced
their way to the priests house that Miss
Nugent mad quilted but few minutes
previous.
Arriving there, Miss Nugent requested
the priest to proceed with the marriage
ceremony and at the same time Godfrey
produced his license.
but this is not the man, said the
priest.
cts the man I'm going to marry"
replied the young woman.
But the priest was not to be prevailed
upon. He said there was evidently some-
thing irregular about the proceeding and
he would wash his hands of the whole
matter. He still declined when Miss Nu-
gent offered him $40 to proceed with the
ceremony.
The result of this play at cross pur-
poses was that the young woman and her
two lovers had violent quarrel. A few
day. later Godfrey brought suit in the
superior court for the money he had ad-
vanced to dt up the boarding house and
got judgment for 500. After the settle

turn accused her OF stealing his watch
and had her arrested on charge of petty
larceny.
Godfrey says that at the time of the re-
cent assault made upon him by Treacy
and O'Keefe he was decoyed to the house
by letter from Miss Nugent When he
arrived there the two men attacked him.
He was struck twice on the head with q
hatchet and three ribs broken. was
stabbed in the right side and had the
tendons OF his left arm cut and his eyes
blackened. AS result of his injuries

In speaking of ths matter, Dr.. Clark
told me that the chief reason advanced
BY the co,onists for their dietary restric-
tions Is that such food is conducive to
a state of peace.
sThe Chinese. as my opponent told
me-" said the doctor. ARE a peaceful
race, and it is solely because they live on
vegetables" (This was some years ago
and the Chinese had not yet patronissd
Phil Armour to any great extent.) These
colonists believe that their life is their
religion" he continued, ''and the first
principle of their existence is peace. Ac-
cordiDg to a story that was related to ne
not long ago, they endeavor to obey this
principle of peace outwardly if in no
other way. They had several stands of
bees, SO my informant said, and these
insects in gathering the material from
which to construct their combs pillaged
the gardens of the neighbors. This the
colonists held contrary to their tenets,
and consequently burned the whole
outfit to put an end to the war Of the in

would the Evil One, and the only butter
allowed on the table is cocoa butter.
