CHARGES INVESTIGATED.
Policeman Wood Finds That CbiIds Hands
Are Tied Loosely.

Officer Wood visited the home of
Mrs. Metzger, 1876 Hall avenue, to in
vestigate the charges of cruelty as
told in the News yesterday afternoon.
Complaint had been made that Mrs.
Metzger was tieing her child's hands
behind her.
Officer Wood found her hands tied
very loosely simply to break her of
the habit of picking at her face. The
policeman reported that the child had
bruised head and black eye which
the mother said was caused by her
falling down stairs. The officer found
that there was considerable feeling
among the neighbors against the Metz
gers which would probably account
for the complaints. No further action
was taken by the police.

last night at Bodie Island, N. o., and
became total loss. Her crew of
eleven men put off in the two boats,
one of which reached Oregon Inlet
Life Saving Station, and the other.
containing FIVE men, is missing and
may be lost.
The story of this unlucky vessels
escape from being wrecked was print
e exclusively in the Evening News.
The men had their misgivings about
the date of their sailing and they had
hardly reached the Sandy Hook Light
Ship when they found themselves in
one of the worst galesin all their ex-
perience. To proceed meant certain
death so her master. Captain George
Perry, turned back and hoved to
under the protection of Sandy Hook
point. Their staunch little vessel
rode the storm for two days. With
the regular chain anchor and two fish
ing anchors the little smack was toss
ell about like an egg she'll. AS the
gale blew harder the vessel began to
drag, soon, in spite of all efforts
on the part of the crew, she drew
closer to shore. Knowing what would
be the fate of all on board, the cap
tai Immediately raised signals for
assistance and soon the big tug James
J. Lawrence came alongside and,
Slipping her anchors, she was towed
to this port.
The vessel lay here tied to Bunten 8
dock for several days while the cap
tain was in New York making arrange
ments to have his anchors to which q
buoy had been attached. raised again.
This was done by the Merritt Chap
man Wrecking Company.
AS fate would have it the smack
was ready to sail on Friday of the
following week. Knowing that the
thirteenth had nearly proven their
end some of the crew murmured at
starting on FRIDAY but the captain
only laughed and the smack got under
way. She passed out of the hook
with clear weather and good breeze
and everything was lovely all the
way down the coast and the crew had
nearly forgotten the date of sailing
when they were struck by storm off
the North Carolina coast. The vessel
became stranded and lost five of her
crew, Emanuel Jessie, John Baptist,
jackson Cous, John Lodec and Spanish
Joe.

BILL ALLOWING CITY
TO PURCHASE FERRIES.
Borough President Cromwell Said
it Was a Step Toward I'm
pr0vement.

Another step in favor of municipal
ownership was taken by the present
administration yesterday, by accept
ing the Bailey bill allowing the city
to purchase and operate the Staten
Island ferry and the ferry to South
Brooklyn.
In accepting the bill Mayor Low said
that he did not wish to indicate that
he was pledged to the idea of munich
pal ownership of these ferries, but
that, in view of the fact that the bill
was not mandatory he believed the
city should have the power to make
the purchase if it saw fit.
Many residents of Staten Island and
South Brooklyn attended the hearing.
Dock Commissioner Hawkes. made the
principal argument for the bill He
spoke emphatically in favor of the
plan for the purchase and operation
Of both ferries by the city. He point
ed out that under the present arrange
ment the city was powerless to do
anything to force an improvement of
the Staten Island ferry service.
Borough President Cromwell, of
Richmond, said that the first step to-
ward the solution of the traffic prob
lem for Staten Island was the approval
of the bill.

child in his arms and the little one
was nearly overcome with JOY.

his child with him to get something
to eat. He says his money is practic-
ally gone and he has only a mileage
ticket to return to his home in Kent.

THE MOSQUITOES

State Entomologist John B. Smith
is asking the cooperation of local
Boards of Health all over the State in
his war on mosquitoes for the destruc-

tidewater SO that small fish known

These fish live on the larve Of insects,
and, he believes would be effective in
destroying the mosquito. He recon-
