The first contest was tug Of war be-
tween the port and starboard watches of

hundred yards and the entire course was
lined with all sorts of BARRIERS such as
wooden horses, rope gridiron, canvas
sails stretched fiat on the ground for
tn. participants TO crawl under, barrels
for them TO crawl through, and at the
end of the course large win sal, which
is 4 funnel-shaped arrangement of can
vas used in the tropics to catch the wind
and force a draft down into the vessel
At the end of the race the runners had to
pass through this win sal entering the
large end and making their exit at the
smaller end The race was close and
when the win sal was reached most of
the men entered it at the same time.
Considerable confusion occurred within
and the spectators had no knowledge of
who the winner would be until he emerged
in the shape of a sailor named Mercier

FATAL CHARCOAL FLAMES.
Peculiar Death of John Il. Jones, ,
Waterman.


John T. Jones, fifty years old. employed
as watchman by the Washington Gas
light Company, was found in an uncon-
scious condition in a Matchbox at F fth
and Washington Streets northwest, at
5:i5 o'clock yesterday afternoon by How
ard DeTenbaugh, foreman for Contractor
Saxton. He was removed at once to the
Emergency Hospital in the ambulance,
but died before he reached the ins tuition
The physicians worked on the body for
some time, employing artificial respira-
tion and all other known means, but to
no purpose. Death, it is thought, was
due TO the inhalation of charcoal fumes.
Coroner Carr was notified. and will ho,d
an autopsy this morning.
The Gas Company is laying a gas main
on Washington Street. near Fifth Street
and Jones, as watchman of tools etc, oc-
cupied small temporary house built for
his shelter. II is supposed that he laid
himself down on the floor of the shed to
sleep. In the shed was small charcoal
stove, such as timers use. II was the
fumes from this which are supposed to
have caused his death.
A communication was sent To the " i'd
ow al 725 Eleventh Street, informing her
Of Jones's death. and. in company with
several children and relatives she ap-
peared at the hospital soon after.

John Martin evidently had too much
Thanksgiving yesterday. as he was found
in a helpless condition lying on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad tracks, near
Brooklyn, at lao o'clock, by Policeman
Stoll, Of the Eighth precinct.
He was aroused and taken to his home,
in Fourth Street, Brookland. When ques-
toned he stated that he did not know
how he came to be on the track. 1t is
probable that had the man not been found
at that time he would have been struck

with some display of heat, he retorted
that the delegate was not a gentleman for

a doubt would be cast upon the patriotism
of Jews in other parts Of the world. He
thought the resolution should not be

DR.. Philipson. chairman Of the commit

adoption Of the report since the discussion
began. Ii was the question of The
hour among the Jews. Ii was at the
doors, and a decided stand must be taken.
Political Zionism must be opposed. y

this matter.
Rev. DR.. Kranskopf said he yielded to
none in loyalty to his country, but he
was not only an American, but also a
Jew, and in the latter capacity was
forced to give his sympathy to those of
his persuasion who were prosecuted. He
spoke of the suffering and wretchedness
of the Jews in Russia and their natural
longing TO better their condition.
