Mr.. Weber yesterday told the result

Had the surf not been SO high be

Il was two hours on board the Tere-

would payto take her off, and that the
work can be accomplished.
Captain Bowman IL. McCalla and his
board of experts. who were sent to
examine the wreck. reported to the
Navy Department. after a careful in
spection of the stranded cruiser, that it
was inadvisable to attempt to get the
wreck afloat.
The chief difficulty lay in the fact
that the Teresa had been washed by
heavy surges over coral reef before
her final stranding and that the shall
lowness of this reef prevented assist
ance from wrecking craft. The cur
sorry inspection of the wreck by the
officers of the Antilia probably did not
disclose the presence of the reef.
Mr. Weber remarked that the gun
ports of the Teresa were left open
when she was abandoned and from
this he argued that The crew intended
that the vessel should sink without
more ado. Navy officers familiar with
the construction of the cruiser said
that this matter of ports beng left
open or closed could in no way affect
the floating of the ship, provided the
matches were closed as seas washing
in at one port would wash ont ut the
others.

TRAMP AID NOT A SUCCESS
Collapse of tho TorradeII Scheme at

Trenton, Nov. 25.-Vice- Chancellor
Reed has appointed Walter Meredith
Dickinson receiver of the Torradell
Industrial building, pending foreclos-
ure proceedings brought by the Penn
sylvania Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of Philadelphia, which holds
mortgage for $4,000 on the building
connected with thee enterprise. The
TOrradell experiment has received con
siderable attention from students of
sociology. Thomas NJ Torradell was
twelve years ago railroad conductor.
He Is uneducated. He received the
notion that kind treatment of tramps
and unfortunates would give good re-
suits to the community, and a few
years ago, with little capital, he pur-
chased a lot of small houses in the
most disreputable part of Trenton.
Here he erected a large building to
be used as n lodging house and manu-
featuring establishment where trades
requiring little training were to be pur-
sued. The locality was transformed
into respectable ncighbOrhood and
the twcnty-four small houses were all
occupied. The TOrradell building soon
became the home of trampS and the
city authorities were relieved of their
care and the expenses of it. Many per
Sons believe that it drew tramps here
and is responsible in a large degree
for their presence here and the many
recent outrages by tramps in this vi
