CLYDE LINER STILL ASHORE
REVENUE CUTTER GRESHAM
 FAILS TO PULL HER OFE
Scarcely Moves Foot in Her Bed of Sand O@ Chathnm--Efforts to be Re- newed To-day When Tugs Will Assist --onondaga Largest vessel Stranded on Cape Cod Beach in Many Years.

Chatham, Mass, Jan. 14.-An inef- fectual attempt was made to-day by the revenue cutter Gresham to drag the stranded Clyde line freight steam CT onondaga from Orleans beach, on which she grounded early yeserday morning. lAt high tide the Gresham { sent one of her heaviest hawsers on board the Onondaga and tugged at if for nearly an hour. The steamer scarcely moved foot in her bed of sand. The weather conditions to-day were favorable and the surf was con- siderably less violent than yesterday. The Onondaga remained in the same position as yesterday and there was no further heaping up of the sand on the offshore side of the vessel.
 Port Captain c. O Rockwell of New York reached the beach about noon and at half tide this afternoon clam bered o nboard. No orders were giv- en for the removal of the vessels car go, but it is expected that work in that direction will commence to-mor- row. The vessel has on board a con siderable quantity of boots and shoes, potatoes and miscellaneous freight as we'll as three racing automobiles for the coming contesta at Ormond, Fla. The Gresham hauled off shore as soon as the time began to ebb and tonight ran back into Nantucket sound. She will make another attempt on the Onondaga tomorrow. The three tugs which were on the scene to-day assist ed in sending the Gresham's line on board the steamer, but tonight they also sought shelter under Monomoy Point.
 It is planned tomorrow to send a big anchor off from the steamer and if possible warp the vessel off with the assistance of another line from the Gresham.
 The Onondaga is the largest vessel that has stranded on Cape Cod beach for many years. It is feared that she has become so far imbedded in the sand that a dozen tugs and cutters will not be able to float her

Handsomely Gowned Woman Found
 Unconscious in Vacant Lot.

New York, Jan 14.-With her ears lacerated as if rings had been snatch ed from them, and her hands cut and bruised, a handsomely gowned woman about twenty-seven years of age was found unconscious in a vacant lot off New Utrecht avenue, Brooklyn, to-day. All around her were the footprints of men, and other evidences which made it appear she had been assaulted and robbed. At the hospital efforts to re- vive her proved futile, she is in seri- ous condition.
 The physicians believe the woman was drugged before being robbed. There were no marks upon her cloth- ing by which her identity could be eS- tablished,

ANNUAL MEETING OFY. MICA.
THREE NEW NAMES ON BOARD
 OF DIRECTORS,

Three of Old Board Re-eIected--No Fi-
 nanciaI Report Made--Ames Is
 Elected General Secretary--Report of
 Latter Shows Recent Improvements---
 Outlook for New Year Hopeful.
 The annual meeting of the board of directors of the Y. M. c. A. was held in the association's building on Temple street last night. An election was held to chose the successors of the six off, cials whose terms expired last night. Three were elected. These are Walter R, Downs Levi T. Snow and Prot. William Lyon Phelps. The new ,nera- bers of the board are Sidney Butler, Judge "A, Mcclellan Mathewson and Lucien sanderson. The board will meet at a later date to organize.
 Owing to the sickness of, Edward E. Mix, the treasurer, the financial re- port was omitted. It was learned that some of the efforts to obtain money during the past year were not conspic- uously successful and that the debt of $171 000 still rests upon the building.
 The many friends of J. Q. Ames, who has officially acted as secretary since the resignation of w. G, Lotze on sep- tember last will be glad to know that he was chosen as general secretary and that his earnest assistant, A. Francis Kottcamp, was chosen assistant sec retary. The administration of these men has given general satisfaction, and it is confidently expected that under their management the associa- tion is entering upon d new era of prosperity They are earnest workers.
 The report of the acting general sec- retary while not of the most enthus- astic nature was full of hope. He treated comprehensively of the many changes that have taken place in the management and working force since the last annual meeting, which have been mentioned in the press as they occurred. The financial situation was alluded to as of highly satisfactory nature, all of which went to show that the work of the association would be maintained without a doubt, The total income from the building will be about $1S,0O0 and this includes an in come from the Edwin Bancroft Foote addition of $6,OOO. The income for the general work is estimated at $10,000 and this would leave about $26,O0O in come to effect probable $2S,0O0 ex- pense account
 Thus it will be seen that the situa- tion is very hopeful. The immediate need to-day is property free from debt, leaving the association free and unfettered for work among young men in this city.
 Departmental reports were made by L. T. Snow, religious; educational, Judge L. w. Cleaveland; physical, w. R. Downs; membership, G. F. Bur- gess.

In the house Senator Bailey's friends had the floor to-day under the joint agreement Saturday to give both sides four hours before the final vote upon the resolution.
