AWFUL SUFFERING AT SEA
Frightful Experience of Captain Bad
den and Six Members of the Crew Ot
the NOkOmiS.

Pensacola, Fla, January 4.-Six days
in an open yawl boat, with wave con-
stantly dashing over them, and with
only a few tins of canned beef and
one gallon of water is the experience
of Captain Baden and the six mem
berS OF the crew OF the American
schooner NOkOmis. The men reached
here today, being brought from St An
drews, where they were washed upon
the beach in an almost unconscious
condition with limbs swollen and
benumbed and almost dead from ex-
posture. They were found by a party
from a small settlement near by and
given attention until they were able
to be placed in a boat and brought
down to Pensacola. where the vessel
is owned. The story of the suffering
of the men is a terrible me-. The yes
sci put out from Gulfport about two
weeks G for Club with a cargo of
lumber. Shortly after getting to sea
a leak was discovered and although
the pumps were started. the water
continued to rise in the hold until
there were several feet. A heavy
gale then came up and The men began
70 throw off the deck load. The YES
sci continued to take water and 1t was
soon Afterwards seen that she liste1
heavily. The men then decided to
abandon the ship and gathered food
and nautical instruments, placing them
on the cabin house when a big wave
swept over the vessel, turning it COM
pletely over and throwing everything
into the sea. Almost by a miri2al
one Of the lifeboats, a jug Of water and
a few cans of meats were saved. The
men then set out for shore, and for
six days and nights with the seas
running almost mountain high, they
pulled the open boat, sometimes not
knowing in which direction they were
going. Towards the close of the
sixth day, land was sighted, and al
though an effort was made TO keep the
boat off, the strength of the wear
led crew was not sufficient and a big
wave cast the boat and its crew upon
the beach near st. Andrews. The mel
were unable to move, being almost
dead from cold and hunger.

Annapolis, Md, January 4.-Today's
proceedings before the court martial
which is trying Midshipman Worth w.
Foster, of New Albany, Indiana, for
the alleged hazing of Midshipman
Chester S. Roberts, were of interest,
as not only were some new forms of
hazing explained but the number of
witnesses who sought to be excused
from answering questions on the
ground that they would incriminate
themselves indicates how thoroughly
the practice of hazing has permeated
the institution. The court ruled that
a midshipman did not incriminate
himself by stating that he was present
during haZing il he did not actually
take part in it himself, but even after
this explanation several midShipmen
asked to be excused from answering
questions, saying they would incrimi-
nate themselves if they answered. FOs-
ter was charged with compelling Rob-
erts to stand on his head, to hang
from the clothes locker, and to get I'M
der the table during the progress Of
a meal. Foster pleaded not guilty.
Roberts was the first witness. He ap-
peared most reluctant to testify
against the accused, and parted the
questions of the judge advocate until
Captain Rees, the president of the
court, cautioned him that he was under
oath to tell the whole truth in the
matter.
Roberts then said that in Fosters
he had ben compelled to do mo.
16" and to hang On the locker. He vas
told twice to- get under the table and
on one of these occasions he thought
Foster had told him to do SO. He ex-
planned that by the unwritten law of
the Academy only a first classman
could order a midshipman under the
table and the judge advocate finally
secured admission that Foster was the
only first classman at the table.
Several midshipmen testified that
Foster had ordered Roberts under the
table. Midshipmen MANNER Ingram
and Barker objected to answering
questions on the ground that Cney
would incriminate themselves.
There were few witnesses for the de-
tense. They were mainly INTRODUCED
to show that the sending under the
table might be done at the order OF an
under classman. Mr.. Theall for the
defense argued that the evidence was
no difficult to convict his client.
Foster did not testify in his own be-
half.

New Haven. Conn. January Al
Charles \. Edwards. h New York
man who was shot to death in a mys-
terious manner Tuesday night while
at the home of Charles A. Hitler. an
other brother-in-law. here. was locked
up at police headquarters tonight for
4 short time by order Of Coroner Mix
1t was later explained by this official
that he wanted TO have Mr.. Hitler
handy on the resumption of the in
quest later in the evening. n that
Mr.. Hitler was simply held as a wit
ness. This action was taken at the
end of a sitting of the c%oroner's in
quest of about FIVE hours.
The news of the c~oroner's action
spread like wild fire. and the general
superstition was reached that Mr.. Hill
er had teen placed under arrest. For
this reason Coroner Mix made the def
mite announcements that MaXcy Killers
detention was simply temporary. AT
9 O'CLOCK the inquest wa resumed and
among the witnesses called We're Mrs.
MaXcy Hitler. Charles Hitler and
MaXcy Hitler. 1t was understood hat
admissions were made at the examina-
ton that iiS1greements between MaXcy
Hitler and his sister. Mrs. Edwards.
over MRS. ruler 5 estate were very OIL
ter. n that the alleged enmity Of the
former extended to Mrs. Edwards. II
is understood that the coroner in the
course of his all-day inquiry has found
that Edwards had often told his
friends that Maxcy Hitler had made
threats against him.
Medical Examiner Bartlett. who was
in charge of the autopsy. has prepared
his report. The point whether the pis-
toll was held by Edwards or another
person is not yet made clear. but Il is
understood that an opinion has been
expressed that such q wound might
have been s~elf-inficted but in this
case it was unlikely. The coroner has
not yet found the weapon used in the
made for it, even to overhauling the
old Hitler homestead by aid Of plum
berS and carpenters.
The inquest was adjourned over until
morning at midnight. Naxcv Hitler
left the coroner's office on! entered a
hack and was driven II his home.
Two detectives were in tie carriage
which drove by the way of police
headquarters where a uniformed Of
fcer was obtained as a guard. Coro-
ner Mix said that he would say nOthine
about the inquest. MaXcy Hitler. he
said, was not under surveillance and
there was absolutely no charge against
him.
At the close of the inquest tonight
there seemed to be more mystery at
tached to the case than at any pre-
vious time. It is understood that M
direct evidence bearing upon the actual
shooting has been produced.
