A delegation of hundred officials

The entire population was at the

to Be Investigated, =.

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 5.-The
escape of William Holden and
Buck" Speaker from the New Jer
sey State prison two weeks ago has
decided the Board of Prison In
spectors to make an Investigation
Of the management Of that institu-
tion, and they held secret session.
1t is the belief that the escaped
convicts received assistance from
inside and Deputy Keeper James
Waddick and James o. Kane, who
were on guard in the wing at the
time the prisoners disappeared,
were summoned before the Board
and closely questioned regarding
their whereabouts at time of the
escape. The inspectors are reti-
cent concerning the investigation.
but admit that it is not at an end
yet. They will continue it to-mor-
row.
1t is understood that they will
take up other alleged Irregularities
in the prison, including the snug
CLING of dainties into the prison o
lac Colonel Cooper and Thomas

| A strange fatality seems to at
tend the three.masted schooner
William 7. Park. She has twice
capsized almost within a week in
these waters. and yesterday after.
noon went completely to the bot
tom off Timber creek while COM
ing up the river in tow of the big
wrecking tug North America.
This last disaster is the sequel to
a long train OF misfortunes that
have befalen this craft. She be.
gan her voyage more than two
weeks ago at pogue Inlet, loaded
cargo Of lumber for New York.
off the Delaware Capes, on Sun.
day, August ~, her troubles be-
gan, when she stranded on Round
Shoal.
The vessel was got off after three
days of hard work on the part Of
the most powerful tug on the coast.
Before this could be done it be-
came necessary to lighter almost
her entire cargo. Scarcely had she
been towed within the Harbor Of
Refuge at the Breakwater when she
capsized. Again the North Ameri-
ca went to work and after vigor-
Gus pumping the William 7. Park
was again rightcd. !
In order that the claims for SAL
wage might be satisfactorily adjus-
ted twas decided that the schoon-
er be towed to Philadelphia. She
left the Capes for this port on Mon
day afternoon. Ff
1t is said that the Park towed as
hard as an ocean steamer. She be-
gan TO leak and the North Ameri-
ca had her hands full for fear that
she wonld lose her prize. The
crew of the former were well satis-
led when League Island came
abeam and saw a satisfactory ter
ninatlon to their ten days work.
Unfortunately this assumption
vas premature. When almost off
Washington Park and without the
slightest warning, the apparently
loodo el schooner turned turtle.
Two men. salvage crew, were on
Ter deck at the time, and in view
If the sudden nature Of the catas-
rophe their escape from death was
lmost miraculous. Both were
brown ioto the water. They were
escued by the North America.
