TAFT GIVES YACHT TROPHY.
To Be Raced for Annually by Cat
boats Of Great Lakes.

TOLEDO. Ohio, January 9.iMr. Taft
has given a trophy to the Toledo Yacht
Club to be raced for annually by the cat
boats Of the great lakes. The trophy will
be received by the club shortly.
Announcement of the gift was made
public at the regular meeting of the yacht
club last night and was received with a
storm of cheers from the yachtsmen in
attendance.
1t was complete surprise to the rank
and file Of the club, as the facts had been
guarded very carefully by Commodore
Richardson and the regatta committee
The trophy will be the property of the
Toledo Yacht Club. but will be raced for
by all Of the catboats on the great
lakes belonging to the yachting asso-
citation. The winner will retain the
trophy throughout the season and then
1t will be returned to the Toledo Yacht
Club to be raced for the following year.
Chairman Galleher of the regatta COM
mittee announced that the exact nature
of the trophy had not been determined,
although 1t would probably be a silver
loving cup, and it would be known as the
President Taft Perpetual Trophy, to be
sailed for in open races each season.
The regatta committee has selected the
catboats as the most popular class and
it is expected the existence of the Taft
trophy will stimulate rapid increase In
the size Of the local fleet.

warrant charging him with the larceny

involved in the case.
Shoe Firm Is Wrecked.
ELMIRA. n. r., January 9.-After hav-
ing squandered the fortune left him by
his father, jackson Richardson. some years
ago, Frederick Richardson became in
volved in financial difficulties which led,
January II. 1907, to his personal bank
ruptcy and that of the shoe manufac-
turing firm OF J. Richardson & Co.. OF
which he was president. The liabilities
were $685., 900, with assets not more than
100000
The bankruptcy proceedings brought
out the fact that Richardson obtained &C.
commodation at BIZ nks on the representa-
ton that his affairs were in f1rst-class
condition. The arrest today is the re-
suit Of this revelation. Richardson left
Elmira Immediately after the bankruptcy
proceedings were instituted.
The property of the firm was sold by
the trustee Wednesday of this week for
about $4,000, and the handsome Richard
son residence and his personal property
automobile, horses, etc, will be sold next
month.
Marital difficulties developed as the re-
suit Of certain revelations in the bank
ruptcy proceedings. The Richardson's
have been for years one of the leading
families of Elmira.

GAS FITTING TO Be REGULATED
CARBON MoNoXIDE MENACE TO
BE GUARDED AGAINST.
Plumbing Inspector to Draft Rules.
Investigation of Explosion in
Reed Apartment.

AS the result Of the recent accidents as
cribed to carbon monoxide in illuminat-
ing gas supplied in the District OF Colum-
bia the District inspector of plumbing, III
B. Davis. Is considering regulations to
control the installation Of gas fixtures
and setting a standard requirement which
they must meet.
Investigating the accident in the Reed
apartment at 1909 LIST street northwest
yesterday morning, the plumbing inspector
sent one of his deputies to the scene
The inspector made no report as to
whether carbon monoxide produced the
dizziness which nearly overcame Mrs.
Reed and her daughter after the ex-
plosion. He advanced the opinion merely
that the explosion was due to leaky con-
nections of gas pipes leading to the gas
water heater.
In an informal report to Commissioner
Macfarland yesterday afternoon Plumbing
Inspector Davis said
1.-THE inspectors were informed by Mrs.
Reed that the gas water heater had not
been used or lighted since it had been
reinstalled.' nor was 1t necessary, as am
pie hot water was furnished the apart
ment from a water back located in the
heating furnace in the cellar.
'"rhere is probability that a leak OK
listed on the outside Of the water heater
at the connection Of the supply cock with
the gas-service pipe. This cock supplies
gas directly into an air-mixing valve on
the water heater.
Owing to the proximity OF the leaky
connection on the gas water heater to the
gas cooking range. it is probable that the
escaping gas accumulated in the jacket
of the gas water heater and. when the
gas cooking range was lighted-which is
located only fourteen inches from the cen
ter of the water heater-thus bringing
the leaky connection supplying the gas
to the gas water heater In close proxim-
have caused the explosion which took
place.
mo damage was done to either the
water heater or the gas range, nor was
any one injured, but there was a slight
disarrangement of the pipe connection due
to the exploSion.I'

BUOY ORIFTED OVER 8 YEARS
SET ADRIFT JULY "a, 1900,
NEAR CAPE BATHURST.
Driven Ashore November 8 Last at
Soeroe, Finmarken - Supports
Amundsen's Drifting Plan.

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, January o.
The meteorological institute has received a
letter from Soeroe. Finmarken, stating that
a buoy which was driven ashore Novem-
Der last contained notice to the effect
that the buoy was set adrift on July "a
1900. near Cape Bathurst, and about soc
kilometers (2S4 miles) northeast of the
Mackenzie river.
Cape Bathurst is in British America on
the Arctic ocean. lying in latitude &c
degrees SO minutes north, longitude 127
degrees 80 minutes west.
1t is believed here that the buoy which
had drifted more than eight years was
carried through the polar seas between
Greenland and Spitzbergen. If this is so
it would seem to support the conclusions
on which Capt. Road Amundsen has
based his future expedition on the Fran.
Capt Amundsen's expedition on the
Fran will start from San Francisco early
In 1910. He plans drifting voyage
similar to that undertaken by hansen.
He intends to fasten his ship in the ice
to the northwest Of Point Barrow. Alaska,
and hopes TO- drift near the pole.

SHOOTING FOLLOWS SCUFFLE
TONY SKEDAR SUSTAINS SERI.
Gus WOUND IN SHOULDER.
George Flora, Placed in Arrest, Says
He Was Trying to Disarm
Other Man.

Declaring that he was resenting ar
insult offered to a girl of his acQuaint
ance early yesterday morning in the build
ing 1853 Pennsylvania avenue, George
Flora, eighteen years old, of WOODBURY.. D
c., and Tony Skedar, employed as &
clerk at the number mentioned. haG
trouble During the scuffle which followed
the latter was shot in the right shoulder
Flora was arrested and is being hello
at the sixth precinct police station on q
charge of assault with dangerous
weapon.
Immediately after the shooting SkedaI
was removed to the Emergency Hospital
weber it was said the wound is serious,
although no serious consequences are an
tieipated.
Flora asserted last night that the shoot
ing was the result of his effort to dis
arm Skedar.
He pulled a gun on me-" Flora declared.
while we were fighting. / grabbed his
arm 'and while bending it back over his
shoulder the weapon was discharged. j
didn't even have my hand on it. The
fight started because he insulted me and
my companion.
According to the police. Flora called
at the place. accompanied by a young
woman, shortly after midnight. They tried
to get something to drink, but failed.
Finally, after considerable discussion.
they were ordered to leave by Skedar.
Says He Was Insulted.
This caused another row, it is alleged.
in which number of men in the place
participated, some siding with Skedar and
others with Flora, the latter claiming
that Skedar had insulted his companion
by his actions and his language.
At last Flora took the girl from the
place and, according to the police, re-
turned to thrash the clerk. While the
two were struggling a shot was heard
and Skedar staggered away, calling out
that he had been shot. A revolver drop
ped to the floor and Flora was seen
STOPPING to pick it up. when it was seized
and held for the police.
The disturbance attracted the attention
of Policeman Boswell, who was across
the street. He Immediately arrested
Flora and sent Skedar to the Emergency
Hospital. Flora was taken to the sixth
precinct station house.
Flora will probably be taken to the
Police Court tomorrow morning for pre-
liminary hearing
