the fleets now on Atlantic stations. be
sent to the Pacific TO maintain American

QUAKER ALDERMEN WINNERS
Father KnickerbOcker's Lawmakers
Ignominiously Cast to Earth.
After Fourth Inning, Cissy LOTUS
Carnations Give Out and Battle
Becomes Rout

Philadelphia, June 19.-If Miss Cissv
LOTUS supply Of carnations had only
held out throughout the game here to-
day between the New York aldermen and
the Philadelphia city council, perhaps the
first annual high-ball game between the
two teams Of statesmen wouldn't have
been so disastrous to the New Workers.
The New York aldermen died in the
fifth inning. and the death rattle began
70 set in the very minute that Miss Lotus
and all the rest Of the girls now touring
the provinces stopped pinning flowers on
Little Tim and his team.
After extending a number Of courtesies
TO the visitors, the Quakers tipped the
visitors out 70 the National League ball
park for the great game. The ball park
was crowded with spectators.
Little Tim led the parade Of New York
players across the diamond. Both teams
started out like real bali players and kept
it up for as much as four innings.
When the fifth inning was reached the
score was New York, 3, Philadelphia, g.
Then it was that all the Lotus carna-
tions gave out. Opinions differ as to
what happened in that inning. but at the
end the Philadelphans were stretched
out on the bleachers, exhausted from
cheering. Somebody figured It up that
the Quakers had tailed fifteen runs, and
the score was Is to g.
At the end Of the tremendous inning
the players from New York walked slow
" back to the bench. while the band
played Chopin's funeral march. which is
now one Of the twO-step hits of Phila-
delphia. There was another full inning
played after this, but It did not amount
to a great deal.
The Quakers made some more runs
while it was going on, and then, with the
score standing 20 TO the wrong way.
Little Tim called upon Director Of Public
Safety Clay to place the New York team
under arrest.
After the game the Aldermen and their
hosts went TO the Bellevue-Stratford for

LAUNCH MAY HAVE HIT BUOY.
Report of Investigating Committee
Net Accepted as FinnI.

Rear Admiral Emory. the senior officer
at Hampton Roads just now, yesterday
brought to the Navy Department the re-
port of the board Of inquiry which in
yestigated the recent deplorable acci-
dent to the steam launch Of the battle
ship Minnesota, which resulted in the
drowning Of six young naval officers and
five seamen.
1t is the opinion Of the board that the
launch was struck by the steel hawser
OF the tug boat Crisfeld. which was tow
ing float OF railroad cars from Cape
Charles to Norfolk at just about the
time the accident occurred. The report
Of the board places no blame upon the
crew Of the tug. none of whom was
aware that any accident had occurred
until the next day.
Secretary Metcalf is not altogether
satisfied with this report and he has or
dered a further investigation Photo
graphs Of the launch taken since il has
been raised show a big hole near the
storm and nearer the keel than the gun
wales.
Il is the opinion Of Gen. Uhler, chief
supervisor Of steamboats,. who has made
critical inspection that In the heavy
seas which were running on the night Of
the accident, the launch was thrown upon
one Of the acetylene gas buoys which
light the Roads at night. These buoys
are big affairs Of iron. and weigh several
tons. If the light launch was brought
down by the force Of heavy sea on the
framework Of such a structure il would
result in just such an injury as has been
discovered This theory Is further sup
ported by the fact that the launch was
found 200 feet away from this buoy
Secretary MetCalf has directed that an
other inspection shall be made of the
launch and of the buoy 10 see whether
the black and red paint of the latter has
been rubbed of, or if ii shows any other
evidence Of having been in collision.

SON OFFERS $4,000 REWARD
Will Pay Big Sum for Arrest and
Conviction Of Fathers Slayers.
Search for Murderer Of y. +. Rosen-
hCimer at Pelham Continues, hut
No Clews Are Secured.

New York. June 19-The police of Pei
ham now believe that Julius T. Rosen-
heimer, the needle manufacture. who
was murdered in the garden OF his c1un-
try place The Roses. al Pelham, last
night. was murdered by two tramps who
were seen about the ne.ghbo-h0od. The
police have about abandoned the theory
that italian workmen committed the
crime
II is believed that while Mr Rosen-
heimer was walking in the garden with
his wife the two ramps appeared ON the
wall surrounding the grounds. and that
Mr.. R0senheimer left his wife % go and
warn them away, and that seeing an
opportunity for spoils the tramps sprang
upon the old man, delivered the fatal
blow. rIhed their victims pockets. and
fed with what vsluables they could find
in their hasty search.
Edward Rosenheimer, son Of the mur-
dered man. to-day offered a reward OF
5000 for the arrest and conviction Of his
fathers slayers. Chief of Police Marks,
Of Pelham. and Acting Chief Of police Ap-
pell were out all night with bloodhounds
hunting for the murderers.
Two men answering the description of
the murderers were chased toward Mount
Vernon and escaped from the officers by
jumping into Hutchinson River, which
divides Pelham from Mount Vernon. When
last seen they were going in the direction
Of Wilson's woods at East Mount Vernon.
Robbery appears 20 have been the mo-
tive for the crime. When Mr.. R0sen-
heimer's son-in-law heard Mrs. Roseu-
heimer scream he hurried 10 the scene
from the house and found Mr.. ROsen-
heimer lying unconscious on the ground
and his wife not far away in q faint Mr.
Rosenheimer's pockets were turned inside
ont and his gold watch and chain We're
missing 1t is not known how much
money he had with him.
When Mr. RosenheimeT was examined
It was found that he had received
three blows on the head, evidently made
with a garden spade. The fracture Of the
skull was on the right side at the back
Of the head There was also bruise
on the face, as if inflicted by a mans
fist. Both wrists were black and blue.
indicating that the victim had been tight
ly held by one of the murderers while the
other rihed his pockets.

Sought In Waters,

Norfolk, Va, June 19-Two bodies Of
the eleven men who perished when the
launch Of the battle ship Minnesota went
down In Hampton Roads in the early
hours Tuesday morning, June Il, were to-
day still uncovered.
These We're the bodies Of Midshipman
Henry Clay Murfn. jr., Of Jackson. Ohio.
and Seaman Frank r. Plumber, Of Nab
ton Wash
Though it was reported from Newport
News last night that a launch from one
Of the battle ships had picked up the
body of Seaman Plumber, it was to-day
officially announced from the Office of
the admiral commanding the Norfolk
Navy Yard that the bodies Of Murfn and
Plumber were still missing. Ii was like
wise said al the naval hospital, where
several Of the recovered bodies are still
held. that the bodies Of neither Plumber
nor Mgrfn had arrived there and that
both remain unrecoyered.
