tured audience in the theater at thS
Nat onal Soldiers Home last night,
when he gave his lecture en- INC
Stars and Stripes" General Loud Is
a spea ker of rare eloquence and the
audience that listened TO him was
sorry when he took his seat at the
conclusion of his address. Taking up
the history of the American flag from

made the occasion of a mingling to-
gether of the Confederate and Union

ing the lecture by illness.
General Loud prefaced his remarks
by expressing his pleasure at having
the Confederate soldiers present. He
delivered the address at first joint

great deal to cement a better feeling
. Between the north and south.

brariau at the Home, who was respon-
sible for bringing the lecturers TO this

A Suspicious Silence.

Howard was only 20 months older
than the baby. He had somehow
come to realize that Elwood, who

in mischief when quiet. One day he
called to his mother with a great deal
of anxiety in his little voice: NAM

a debatable question as to just how
many of these checks he left behind
him. He also bought all the goods
he could from the merchants Of the
city on credit or at least from those
who would give him credit. His clev-
er tongue and neat appearance, with
the claim that he had purchased a
fine Victoria avenue residence, served
him nicely in securing credit.
Sometime during Sunday, Il seems,
Mr.. Post decided that Hampton was
not to his liking and since that time
! his whereabouts have not been di-
vulged. Ii is said that several let
| ters were received from him. He had
promised to return here on Thurs
1 day. then on Friday and finally Mrs.
Post admitted that she had been de-
serted by her husband. ,Neighbors
took care of her and finally 1t was
arranged to have a benefit game of
baseball to assist her in getting back
to Philadelphia.
A few days after coming to Hamp-
Iton- Post began taking an active part
in baseball. RE said he had been a
player on the Cornell nine and asked
to be given a try-out on the Hampton
Peninsula league team. He as
sociated with the players and soon be-
came favorite with most of them.
Several of the players then went to
his home to board
| Decided to Establish Newspaper.
| Post had been in Hampton but a
few days when he decided to estab-
fish daily newspaper in this city. He
approached business men with the
proposition. He told of the great
money to he made by newspaper
here and finally had one or two men
interested in the movement. Mr..
Claude Vernon Cpratiey. young at
itorney, was engaged to draw a charter
fer the paper and had all the plans
ready for presentation to the State
Corporation Commission, when Post
failed 10 put up the money necessary
for the charter fee. He had ''capitaliz-
ed the company at $4,000. The
names of the officers and the directors
of the new concern could not be learn
ed.
Failing in his newspaper scheme,
Post decided 10 organize another com
ipany. which would engage in the bust
ness Of importing mahogany lumber
from Cuba TO the United States. tie
told those he approached on this
scheme that vast amounts cf ma
hoganv was wasting in Cuba and tina,
the lumber could be brought into the
states free OF duty in the rough. while
there Is heavy duty on dressed ma

Finally il leaked out around the
city that Post was to give up his
position with the afternoon paper. RE
then announced tia; he was a real
estate promoter. He gave out sew
cral stories concerning his intentions
in the real estate business and ran
several large Advertisements announc.
ing that the concern would build
houses and purchase lots for persons
on TIE insialment plan.
u Is estimated that Post picked M
between $500 and $500 from the bust

DENY WRECK DUE
TO MAN AT WHEEL
Report That Florida's Quar-
termaster Deserted Post
Branded as False.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-Among the
passengers brought to port by the Baltic
was Quartermaster Serafino Romolo, of
the Florida. He had a much bruised
head, which was wrapped in bandages.
He and. a steward were the only mem
bers of the FlOTida's crew on the Baltic,
the others sticking to their ship
There was a published report that this
quartermaster was at the wheel when
the collision occurred and had been
struck on the head by Captain Ruspini
for making . blUnder in steering the
ship.
Vigorous denial il made of this report
by the Italian Royal Emigrant Com
missioner, who was on duty on the
Florida He said that Serafino was not
by the captain. This particular quar-
termaster had been in his bunk at the
time. The shock of the collision threw
him out, batterlng his head. Hence the
Dandages. The man had been put on
board the Baltic to reach New York
earlier for treatment. The puTser OF
the Florida when questioned, made sim
liar answer, declaring that there had
been no error Of steering TO cause the
collision.
It was impossible, however. to obtain
from officers of the Florida or repre-
sentatives of the company any state
ment Of the ships course at the time
Of the accident, or details of how the
two vessels CHANGED to meet at right
angles instead Of head on. They were
supposed TO be on directly opposite
courses. and if each was IN the proper
path they would have met bow to bow.
