WILL STOP THE. PRACTICE
SHANGHAIING oE, ENLISTED
MAN OF THE NAVY.
Investigation Of a Flagrant Case,
Alleged Offending shipmaster
Held for Grand Jury Action.

Officials Of the Navy Department have
determined to stop, if+ possible. the plac-
tice Of certain oystermen in Chesapeake
bay OF "shanghaiing' enlisted men Of the
United States Navy and compelling them
to work on their boats. A fragrant case
Of that kind has just been investigated by
the naval authorities. 1t developed during
the recent trial by court-martial of
Charles F. Hammond, a seaman appren-
tice attached to the receiving ship Frank
lin, at the Norfolk navy yard, who was
charged with being absent without leave.
The evidence adduced showed that Ham
mond while in Norfolk on shore leave was
drugged and carried aboard the schooner
Marion of Chestertown, Md, Marion R.
Coleman, master, engaged in the oyster
business between Baltimore and Norfolk.
1t was further shown that Capt. Coleman
took the blueJackets uniform away and
gave him other clothing to wear, pre-
vented his leaving the ship at any time
and would not allow any other members
Of the crew to help him in any way.
Whenever the vessel was in port Ham
nnond was locked UP In the hold, but not
withstanding this he finally managed to
escape one night at Baltimore and made
his way back to the Franklin at Norfolk.
He had been forcibly detained on the oys-
ter schooner for more than three months.
and alleged that he had been harahly
treated by the officers of the ship.
At the instance Of the Navy Depart
ment. United States revenue cutter was
sent after the Marion and arrested the
master who was taken to Baltimore and
held for the action of the grand jury Of
the eastern district of Virginia, in which
district the alleged offense was commit
ted. Shanghaiing is an offense against the
laws of the United States, and the Navy
Department has determined to secure its
enforcement in every case where an en-
listed man Of the navy Is affected.

COFFEE FINALLY HAD TO GO,

The way some persons cling to coffee even

with nervous headaches for seven weary years,
but kept drinking coffee.
'One day l asked her why she c. not give
up coffee q cousin OF mine had done who had
taken to Postum. But mother was such q slave
to coffee she thought 1t would be terrible to
give 1t up.
FINALLY. one day, she made the change to
Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared.
One morning while she drinking Postum 30

taste.
That started me on Postum and I now drink
II more freely than I did coffee, which never
comes into our house now.
"A girl friend of mine, day. saw me
drinking Postum aud asked IL Il was coffee. I
told her 1t was Postum and gave her some
to take home. but forgot to tell her how to
make II.
THE next day she said she did not how
could drink Postum. / found she had made
1t like ordinary coffee. So 1 told her how to
make 1t right and gave her a cupful I made.
