HAULED OUT AT NORFOLK DRY
DOCK FOR NECESSARY REPAIRS,
The torpedoboat destroyer String
ham, which is preparing for her off,
cial speed trial in the Chesapeake bay.
has sustained another accident. This
is the third mishap the Stringham has
had during her construction. The first
was caused by a cylinder head cracking
and the second was caused by a piston
screw breaking. Both Of these acci-
dents occurred in the Delaware river
while on trial trips. It Is not exactly
known what is the matter now, but her
builders, the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company. are under the impress
sion that one Of her propeller blades is
broken
The Navy Department has granted
permission for the boat to use the NoT-
folk drydock to make necessary exami-
nations and repairs. Captain Thomas
Benson, assistant superintendent OF
the Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany, left here last night for Norfolk,
where he will supervise the hauling

PROPERTY WAS TWICE SOLD
LAWYERS DIFFER ON STATE LAW.
SO FEENEY PROPERTY WAS RE-
SOLD,

The property at No. 926 French
street, seized by Sheriff Tay-
Tor as that of Elizabeth NJ. Feeney,
was twice sold at the Court House yes
terday afternoon, and, although pur-
chase money has been paid by Harry
Whiteman, the purchaser, the owner
ship of the property may have to be
settled by the courts.
The property was first sold for $1,000
to Mr.. Whiteman. counsel for the
Guarantee Building and Loan Associa-
tion, but as there arose a difference OF
opinion concerning the terms of the
sale it was declared off. Then the
property was offered a second time, and
was again purchased by Mr. Whiteman
for $40.
The sale was made on the second
mortgage Of $500 held by the loan as
sociation. There was a first mortgage
of 81, 700 held by Levi c. Bird as ad-
ministrator OF Catherine NJ. Feeney, be-
sides several judgments. 1t was held
that under the law of the state the
money derived from a sale under a
second mortgage could not be taken to
pay a first mortgage, but would go to-
ward paying whatever judgments are
against the estate. For this reason the
second sale was made. but this does
not satisfy some of the parties concern
ed, hence the threatened law suit.
