Stranded While on Way to the
Naval Academy.

The submarine torpedo boats Moccasin
and Adder while on their way to tn
Naval Academy in tow of the tug Peoria
were reported in distress off Little Island
Life Saving Station, Newport. r. /.
They were to be used by the naval cadets
in training for submarine warfare.
The cruiser Yankton left the Norfolk
navy yard yesterday afternoon on a call
Of distress from Little Island. N. 9. The
call came through the Weather Bureau
from the lite saving station there, and
states that the submarine torpedo boats

ging their anchors and the Government
tug Peoria was lying by. rendering all
the aud possible 10 the distressed little
boats Both of the boats we're awash
early yesterday morning but the Peoria

She was making little headway at that
time and the Yankton was hurried to
relief.
The tug Peoria succeeded in getting
q line to one Of the torpedo boats and
headed toward Norfolk at 4. 30 p. IN.
yesterday. The Yankton arrived upon
the scene at about the same time, and
after making several unsuccessful at
tenpts to pick uIMthe other boats, fol-
lowed in the same direction, leaving
the topedo boat drifting slowly south
ward. The wind was from the north
west and was blowing at the rate of
thirty-six miles an hour. There was

Registration CLOSED.
The Annapolis Emergency Hos
pital Has Large Member
ship Enrolled.

The registration books for mem
bership to the Emergecy Hospital As
sociation, which have been open at
the Hospital for several weeks, closed
today. Several hundred persons have
registered during the present week
alone, and the membership fees have
amounted TO q neat sum, many con-
tributing from one to ten dollars to-
the Association fund.
The exact number registered is not
known. but il promises to be a fair
representation If all who have regis
tered are present at Monday nights
annual meeting Of the Hospital Asso-
ciaion, when the vote will be cast to
elect the Board of Managers. The
Board consists Of eleven members, the
constitutional quota. Of this number
three of the old board will be retain
cd. having been elected for period OF
two and three years.
Those who will be retained by vir-
tue of their term of Office are Mrs.
hewitt Steele, Mrs. George I. Field
meyer and Miss Katherine Andrews.
Some of the ladies who have contend
ed to allow their names to be used for
members of the new board are Mrs.
Elizrabeth Murray. wife Of Pay Direc-
tor Murray, u. S. N, retired, Mrs.
Merriam, wife Of Commander Mer-
riam, Miss Kate Randall, Mrs. Burns,
wife Of Mr.. w. II. Burns, Of Burn
side, Eastport. Mrs. George E. Mer-
rill, and Mrs. Miller, wife of DIR. w.
A. Miller, pastor of the First M. +.
Church, who were elected to fill unex-
pired terms of members who resigned,
are candidtes for reelection, as is also
Mrs. John w. Martin and Mrs. James
Q. Cresap.
All these ladies are representative
women OF the city, many OF them prop
erty owners and taxpayers in their
own names, and they have each and
every one the best interests Of the
Hospitals welfare at heart 1t has
been suggested that a board of men
be appointed, but it hardly seems
probable that eleven men can be found
in the city who are at leisure to give
their time and attention, as it should
be given, to the work of the Hospital,
and its needs. A mixed board of men
and women meets with popular ap-
proval ora n auxiliary board Of either
would not be bad plan.

that he had procured 20 be recorded
another deed which did not convey

conveyed. The land in question is
situated in the Third election district
