vender carried on his back.
The crowd Of visitors to Staten Island
yesterday was the largest Of the season.
Every ferry was crowded and the trolley
cars to the beaches and Silver Lake were
damned, many passengers hanging to the
running boards.
When the crowds were returning in the
evening the congestion at the ferry ter

witnessed and it was almost miracle that
no accident happened,
1t is estimated that 5000 eScursionists
visited South and Midland beaches.

HOLMES MAY BE PROSECUTED
II Conspiracy Can BE shown In the jug.
Cling OF Cotton Reports.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Despite the as
sertion OF Secretary Wilson, in his report
on the cotton scandal, that nited States
Attorney Morgan H. Beach had informed
him that prosecution Of Holmes was not
possible under the law, there appears to
be a difference between the two officers
on this point. Mr.. Cheatham had a long
conference with Mr.. Beach tonight, and
MIR. Beach Is understood to have said that
the disclosures as published did not afford
sufficient grounds for charge OF con-
spiracy, but at the same time he pointed
out that If the inquiry was extended and
positive evidence as to conspiracy OBJ
tanned Holmes and his associates might
be criminally prosecuted.
Only half the story was told In Secre-
tary Wilson'S report. His statement was
based upon the report of the Secret Service
agents; but the really interesting features
of that report were withheld for reasons
that are not explained by Secretary Wilson.
This action on the part of the Secretary
is understood to have been a decided dis
appointment to the representatives Of the
Gouthern Cotton Growers Association.

Amateur skipper Of stranded sappho

Old baymen at East Moriches. l.. J.,

Sappho. that went ashore Saturday on
Bills bar with a cargo Of two summer girls
and foxy amateur sailor Of Brooklyn.
Yachtsmen down that way have been
bothered the past week with fogs that drift
out of nowhere and spoil their reckoning.
Saturday, Stanley Tower Of Brooklyn,
who ia staying at Centre MoHches. took
out Miss Nellie Cullen. daughter OF Thomas
Cullen Of Brooklyn, and Miss Eleanor
Green. also Of Brooklyn. in his sailboat
Sappho for spin 1t was bright and sum
shiny when they started. On their way
back the fog came and spread grayly over
the water.
The girls made light Of It and warbled
THE Isles OF Greece, where burning Sappho
loved and sang in compliment to the
boat. Tower WAS bit worried, but he
didn't show 1t to the girls. He steered
toward the noise Of the surf, hoping to
strike the beach somewhere, when bar
doomed out Of the fog.
SITS all right, girls, called Tower. 'That's
Reeves Island, and It's only mile from
here to the Center Moriohes Beach.
The Sappho bumped and stuck on Bills
bar There she stayed fast and hard.
Here follows the tale Of an old bayman,
told with great glee,
And do ye know, Bill, that young Teller
said nothin', He jest kept still and waited
a bit. Pretty soon the gyurh got skeered
and he shook his head and looked bit
serious. He joked EN- about their weight,
and when he found that one weighed ITO
and the other %, he looked kind OF pleased
like.
az think I can save YOU said he, very
grave like.
oh, how?' said the gyurls.
"'1'll have to carry you through the stormy
waters says he.
"They drew straws to see which should
go first, and ITO pounds got the short one.
He PICKED her up and waded ashore on
Centre Moriches beach. Then he waded
back and got the other one and carried
her to land
He told me that he guessed they gave
their city weight; said their country weight
must be a lot more; grinned like all pos
sessed. oh, he's smart one
