Prince Michael Of the electorate Of

Around and about the enchanted

spat and mewed and the stilted trains
roared like tigers and lions prowIing

trees shone the great. round. shining
face Of an Illuminated clock In the
tower Of an antique public building.
Prince Michael's shoes were wrecked
far beyond the skill Of the carefulest
cobbler. The ragman would have de-
clined any negotiations concerning bis
clothes. The two weeks stubble on
his face was gray and brown and red
and greenish yellow. as II it had been
made up from individual contributions
from the chorus Of musical comedy.
No man existed who had money enough
to wear 80 bad a hat as was Prince
Michael's.

was to sit In rags and dinginess on a
bench in Il park. for he had tasted OF
the fruit Of the tree Of life and. finding
1t bitter In his mouth. had stepped out
Of Eden for time to seek distraction
close to the unarmored. beating heart
Of the world.
These thoughts strayed dreamily
through the mind Of Prince Michael

bench to the ground. The young man

Washington, Sept. s.-The ofhcial
investigation into the fatal accident
on board the battleship North Dakota
in which three men We're killed out
right and ten others injured, got I'M
der way today. 1t is in the hands of
the following officers of the feet. ap-
pointed by Rear Admiral Schroeder:
Captain c. A. Core of the Delaware;
Lieut. Commander C. v. Price OF the
Delaware and Lieut.. Commander A,
NJ. Proctor Of the Connecticut.
1t was stated simultaneously with
the beginning of the probing, that
the cause of the explosion in the fuel
oil system would not be made public
officially until the investigation is
completed.
Unofiicially it is reported that care.
lessness on the part of some one in
the stock room will tse shown and the
explosion may have far reaching eff.
feet on account of the fact that oil
was being tried out with view to
making it a supplemental fuel for
naval use in the future.
Whether the navy department will
continue to use oil will be made
known. it is believed, at the same time
that the report on the North Dakota g
accident is given to the public.
Engineer officers, although instruct
ed not to talk, said that the accident
was undoubtedly the result of leak
in the supply pipes and that fire was
communicated to the oil during test
to the apparatus under boiler No. /.
The wounded are on board the hos
pital ship Solace and the North Da
kota now lies at Hampton Roads
which point she reached early today
In this situation the possibility II
presented that the naval authorities
will attempt to fix the charge of care
lessness upon some one in the stoke
room.
AS a result of the accident the NORTH
Dakota will hardly be able to sail from
Hampton Roads on Saturday with the
first division of the fleet to take par1
in battle practice of the, virginia
coast.
Additional reports, some of a sensa
tional nature, were circulated at Fori
Monroe and elsewhere today. One Of
them said that fire. ragged in the OF
room of the North Dakota for an hour

were quenced.
Rear Admiral Schroeder in com
mand of the fleet of which the NORTH
Dakota Is a part, gave orders that OH
