RESENTS CHARGES

Denied by Uncle SANS
Loyal Sailors
CRUISE MARRIED BY
DROWNINGS AT SEA

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Infuriated
at charges made by men who deserted
at Annapolis, the officers and crew of
the monitor Ozark returned today
from the practice cruise of the District
of Columbia naval militia, with a story
Of complete success, marred only by
the drowning of two negro sailors
Wednesday afternoon Off Indian Head.
Members OF the crew we're engaged
in boat races when a boat in which
the two negroes were rowing capsized.
Two white sailors sprang from a COM
peting boat and tried to, save them,
but were exhausted The rescuers
nearly lost their lives and were uncon-
scious when hauled aboard a barge.
The dead:
Cicero Simms, colored, coal passer,
Z. S. N.
Ernest S. Trotter, fireman, naval
militia.
Their bodies weer not recovered.
The charges of overwork, poor food
and mistreatment told by the deserters
were denied by all on board. The citi-
zen sailors apparently we're all de-
lighted with the cruise, and the only
possible ground for complaint, it was
said, was a slight accident to the water
condenser which made. IL necessary to
use brackish water for a short time.
Not a man was in the brig" during
the cruise. The boys I'm the stoke
hole" reported that they had enjoyed
themselves, and a "round robin" origi-
mating in the coal pit was signed by
practically everyone on board denounc-
ing the deserters.
IL was stated that only five men left
the ship and that of these Allen Lloyd
was the only regular member of the
militia, the other four being on proba-
ton. The officers were so bitter IN
their accommodation of the deserters
that there was no prospect Of a recon-
ciliation. They asserted that the five
men had expected a pleasure trip and
were so disappointed when they found
they had to work that they ran away.
II was stated that formal charges
preparatory to a court-martial would
be filed against Lloyd. The others,
being on probation, are not liable to
court-martial.
