Account OF Sea Sickness

Acting Secretary of the Navy Win
throp has accepted the resignation Of
Midshipmen Julius Hatcher. of Virgin

Hatcher was compelled to give UP
the navy because of seasickness. He
was graduated from the Naval Acad-
emy in 1905 and was at sea before be
ing ordered to the Delaware a few
months ago. While at the academy he
took the summer practice cruise twice.
and after each cruise he was inclined
to resign, but friends urged him TO re
main. hoping that he might overcome
his susceptibility to the malady. As
his present cruise showed no improve
ment he has been allowed to quit the

Hatcher was nominated for appoint
ment by Representative James Hay, p

BACKWARD, BUT BRAVE
Midshipman Thomas Courage
May Win Him Promotion
FAILED TO PASS WITH CLASS
Averted Probable Destruction OF Powder
VI N'ssel--COmmended And Likely To
Be Made Ensign

Midshipman Raymond G. Thomas.
U. S. N, is not rated very high in
navigation, and so he is a year be-
hind his class, which reached the
ensign's grade year ago last June.
But what he lacks in knowledge con-
corning how to drive a man-o'-war
through the seas he has made up in
courage, and so he will probably be
given his promotion.
Midshipman Thomas is the hero of
the powder fire accident to the supply
ship Culgoa and lighter alongside
at the New York navy yard on July
26, when can of powder exploded
and theatened the ships cargo. Risk
ing his life, Midshipman Thomas
fought back the fire and rescued one
powder chest while the wooden strips
upon it were ablaze His hands were
adly burned.
Thomas is held to have saved the
ship from destruction, and Act ng Sec
retary of The Navy Winthrop issued
to him yesterday letter Of strong
commentator. Mr.. Winthl lp took
under consideration the recor menda-
tion that Thomas should be q zen his
promotion.
The letter was issued on the recon-
mendation of Commander Harry
Phelps, of the Culgoa, which was
strongly indorsed by Rear Admiral
Seaton Schroeder, ,commander-in-ch {
of the Atlantic feet. Commander
Phelps, in bis letter detailing the
heroism of the midshipman, gives the
first details as to the cause, nature
and extent of the accident to be made
public from official reports. Comman-
der Phelps in his letter says:
I'm the upper between-deck of No. 2
hold were 2,100 tanks of S-inch S.
p. charges, which were being trans
ferred to lighter alongside. After
about 200 charges had been passed
out one charge ignited and set fire to
the lighte and other charges, causing
a fierce flame. At the first alarm the
men working at the powder on this
ship left the compartment, which
besides the remaining powder, con-
tained l, 900 gallons of gasoline.
Realizing the need of closing the
cargo port door. Midshipman Thomas
entered the compartment to do so
and found a tank of powder lying just
inside the cargo port, which was just
alongide the burning powder on the
lighter, and already the wooden
strips On it were smoking. This tank
he seized and removed to a place of
safety and, being unable to close the
heavy door because of the intense
heat, returned on deck and assisted in
extinguishing the fire. After opening
the tank for examination the muslin
bag was found to be slightly charred,
and ] feel sure that it would soon
have ignted and caused a fire in the
hold compartment which might have
had very serious results"
While the policy of the Navy De-
partment is to freely commend en-.
listed men who have performed SER
wees of unusual bravery, it holds that
officers should not expect anything of
this sort, and accordingly praise
is rarely granted. Midshipman Thomas
is the first member of his sclass to
gain such recognition. He graduated
with the class of 1908. He is said to
be engaged to a daughter of FIX.
Mayor Timanus, of Baltimore.

ON NEW YORK PAPER
Prof. Royal J. Davis OF ST, Johns VIII
Now Write Editorials


Having resigned from the faculty
of st. Johns College, Prof. Royal J.
Davis will next month assume the
duties on the editorial department Of
the New York Evening Post.
Professor Davis has been at st.
Johns for four years, and has held
the chair of the Department of Eng
lish, which he has filled most capably.
The students have made marked i'm
provement under the instruction and
tutelage of Professor Davis.
In his new position he will write
editorials for the Post and also foI
the Nation. He will review the mag
azines and some books for the Post
and has been invited to give a course
in Editorial writing the coming win
ter at the New York University,
which he will probably accept.
The Post gives Professor Davis more
than twice the salary he received
at St. Johns College He has recent
ly been entertained a great deal by
the Century Club, the great literary
club of New York, and the Howard
Club, both of which he will probably
join.
The appointment on the Post staff
of Professor Davis is a deserved recog
milton of his ability. He has the pen
of ready writer, and his writings
are beautifully embellished although
terse and often epigrammatic. He
uses the choicest English and his man
nerism is most attractive.
Both Professor and Mrs. Davis have
made many warm friends here, who
will sincerely regret their leave-tak-
ing. They have been valued acqui
sition to Annapolis society.

Boil Your Drinking Water

This is the season of the year wheE
typhoid germs are lurking around. and
we advise the boiling of all drinking
water both in town and county. as a
preventive from that soucre. 1t woul
be wise if all the dairymen made fre-
quent analysis OF their milk. and s44
housekeepers to keep their houses a
free of the dangerous house-hy as pos
sible. To our minds it is the houSe-fly
that is more to be feared than anything
else in the spread of disease. and w
a dvise everybody to be careful as pos
sible in these extremely warm days.

FRANCHISE HELD UP BY
LONG BEACH COUNCIL

LONG BEACH, July 2S.-The city
council last night tabled the application
of the Pacific Electric railroad for a
franchise in the vicinity of the muni-
cipal docks at the harbor. The board
of public works had submitted a letter
suggesting the granting Of a franchise
in that vicinity now would perhaps be
dangerous to the city's interests.
The city will take a new tack in at
tempting to secure a reduction of the
rate charged by the Pacific Electric In
the east end of town. An ordinance
providing that not more than cents
fare shall be charged between the main
part of town and the newly annexed
territory In the east section is under
consideration by the council.
The council last night voted to in
struct the street railway company to
bring all cars to a full stop at the
Anaheim street crossing of the Four
teenth street line. A proposed alarm
bell contrivance was declared unsatis-
factory.

cattle ranches take part in the break.
ing of wild horses, which takes place
every spring, not because they are eX-
pected to, but because they enjoy the
lark"
Nearly every young woman born on a
western cattle ranch is able to do fin
ished work as a bronco buster if she
cares to, but she is becoming less and
less fond of the job every year. Now
the bronco buster is a specialist who
travels from one ranch to another and
breaks in the green animals as they
are needed.
Before long we will have to be con-
tent with descriptions of the cowgirl
as given by the travelling exhibitions
that depict early western life and Gus
toms. Like the cowboy and the Indian
she is fading into the past.
Five young women now filling profes-
sional engagements with exhibitors
that describe the life of the cowgirl of
the past are Eileen Anderson Pearl
King, Alice Lee, Hazel Moran and Lulu
Parr. All of these girls are crack
shots. and have given evidence Of their
prowess in all the civilized countries

RAILWAY PRESIDENTS
TAKE CHEERFUL VIEW


NEW YORK, July 23,-Railroad
presidents are beginning to take a
more cheerful view OF the crop situa-
tion. This change comes by a stronge
coincidence at a time when Wall street
hears that the big interests have
been buying stocks. For two months
the fnanciers who control the great
railroad systems of the country have
been bearish on the stock market. All
the crop news has been extremely dis
couragng during this period. The rail-
roads of the west are the biggest col
lectors of crop news in the country.
Every railroad has a crop bureau. 1t
was impossible to get any hopeful
news out OF these crop experts up to
three or four days ago. Now they
are all beginning to see the bright side
of things. President W. c. Brown
came back to town on Wednesday,. He
found conditions along the Big Four
to be particularly roseate. Mr.. Brown
was one of the gloomiest of the gloomy
railroad officials two weeks ago
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. paul

crops throughout the northwest.
After the directors of the Chicago

kee and st. Paul declared that he con-
sidered the crop outlook in the north
west somewhat brighter than during

PICKETING ORDINANCE is
CONSIDERED BY COUNCIL

LONG BEACH, July 23.-After an
extended discussion, participated in by
both councilmen, union men and others,
the city council last night passed on
its first and second readings an ordi-
nance prohibiting picketing. The ordi-
nance, If passed upon it's third reading,
will make the act of picketing pun
ishable by a fine of not more than $100,
fifty days in Jail, or both.
Councyilman Brown stated to the
Craig shipyard strikers present that If
they would withdraw their pickets the
ordinance would not be passed. This
was objected to by other councilmen,
who said Brown could speak only for
himself One of the union men said:
I'VE are not organized especially for
the purpose of picketing at this plant.
1t is all voluntary on our part. We feel
in our hearts we are doing right. We
think we have the same right to use
the methods we are using as candidates
have in asking for votes.
Talks faVoring the ordinance were
made by Henry p. Barbour, DR.. L. A.
Perce and others. L. c. Obi, real
estate owner, urged that the wishes of
the strikers be respected and that the
action be postponed for a week, until
they could lrave an attorney present to
represent their side of the question.

! HORSESHOE PIER At
LONG BEACH FAVORED
City Council InstruCtS Attorney
to Condemn American Ave-
nue. Frontage

LONG BEACH, July 23.-That the
proposition to build a horseshoe pier
from American avenue to Pine avenue
is already receiving favorable consid-
Grafton by the city council was shown
last night when the city attorney was
instructed to prepare condemnation
proceedings for the vacation of Amer
lean avenue at the ocean front.
Even those most in favor of the big
pier proposition were not expecting
action at such an early stage. The sur
prise was a pleasant one, as since S.
, ]. Abrams, a local business man, be-
gan agitating the project week ago
: 1t has received only favorable COM
ment.
The action taken last night was at
the instance of Councilman G.. A. Moh-
renstecher, with whom public improve
ments always are popular Councilmen
Brown and Humphrey voted against
the motion, believing the action was
too hurried. City Attorney Long stated
however, that 1t would take about
eight months for the condemnation pro-
ceedings to be carried out, intimating
that the people would have plenty OF
time to ponder the plan.
American avenue at the ocean front
is 124 feet wide. The pier, as sug-
gested by Abrams, would be built of
solid concrete, with two decks. 1t
would contain a broad driveway and
also promenades along the sides. The
upper deck would be a broad promen-
ade, with ornamental lamp posts and
numerous benches. A sun parlor would
be at the outermost point of the horse
shoe.
A principal gain by reason of the
proposed Improvement would be in the
still water bathing facilities which
would be given inside the horseshoe
through the building of a rock wall
under the pier. Places for docking
small pleasure craft also would be a
feature.
