NO NINA WRECKACE
GIVES HOPE TUG
MAY YET Be SAFE
Boat Sighted Off Montauk
Point Not the Missing
Vessel.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The tug
reported to have been spoken off Mon
tauk Point on Sunday by the steamer
Bay View, and which was thought to
be the Nina, was the naval tug Apache.
The fate OF the missing Nina is as
much of mystery as ever.
The gleam of hope for the safety of
the Nina which came with the state
ment late last night from Newport
News, that the captain of the whale
back steamer Bay View, had sighted
the Nina off Montauk Point, l.. l., last
Sunday, faded away with the receipt
this morning of a telegram from the
New York navy yard, making the posi-
tive statement that the vessel sighted
was the tug Apache, one of the search
ers.
Another telegram was received from
the captain of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer. Lamson. who stated that he
had covered the belt between the longi-
tude of the eastern point of Martha's
Vineyard and Block Island, and down
to where the transatlantic steamers
cross the belt but found no trace of the
missing tug.
Naval officers this morning expressed
themselves as of the opinion that the
Nina had gone down at sea with all
on board. While the search will be
continued for some time, it is apparent
that little or no hope is entertained
that the Nina ever again will be heard
from.
BOSTON. Feb. 16.--Although report
ed to have been spoken on Sunday off
Montauk Point proceeding under sail
for this port, the missing naval tug
Nina has not put in an appearance
here. Government boats, including the
revenue cutter Gresham and the gun
boat Castine, which had been recalled
from the search yesterday, were sent
out again today to patrol the coast.
They kept in close touch with the
Charlestown navy yard by wireless,
but did not send the welcome report
that the Nina had been found.
The fact that no wreckage of the
tug was sighted, however helps to sus-
tain the belief that the Nina may yet
turn up safe.

BAFFLEO
IN MYSTERY OF
MURDER ON PIER
Hunt for Alleged Slayer of Jane
Adams Brings No Trace
of Fugitive.

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 16-No prog
today, in solving the mystery of the
tragic death of Miss Jane Adams,
whose body was washed ashore on the
beach Sunday, until William Seyler, d
young married man, for whom war
rant has been issued is caught and put
through the third degree
Every expedient known to the de-
tective force has been employed to solve
the mystery, but without avail. Efforts
are now directed toward the arrest of
Seyler and his brother Aryis, who mys-
teriously disappeared with him. The
surrounding woods and towns have
been Systematically searched for the
young men, but no trace of them has
been found.
The body of the girl is in the under
taking establishment of j. p. Crowley,
at Pacific and Kentucky avenues. The
funeral will be private. The Rev Sid
ney Goodman, head of the Mems
Church movement, will conduct the
services.
After Coroner Sontheimer had con-
ferred with the chief of police today
he said no time would be set for the
inquiry he intended to conduct into the
tragedy until either William Seyler was
founder the police believed it would
be of no advantage to them to conduct
the inquest. The police have some in
formation they do not wish should be-
come public as yet
Tracing the movements of the mur-
dered girl on the. night she attended
the pier dance, it develops that she was
with Seyler between $50 and 10 o'clock
That William Seyler went to the Hotel
Chelsea, as reported by his friends, in
search of position as fireman between
those hours has not been proved. The
engineer there says he could not recall
any person answering Seyler's descrip-
tion having sought the job.
William Seylers absence, his friends
say, was caused by the warrant charg-
ing that he was concerned in the girls
abduction, which was issued after Jane
Adams had failed to return home Why
his brother also should have disap-
peared is one of the puzzling features
Of the case.

EXPOSURE KILLS STORM
VICTIM, FOUND IN HALL,

2 Having been found unconscious from
cold and exposure in a hallway on
johnson street during the storm last
Saturday, John Howard, As years old,
whose last known address was at 341a
,Vesey street, died today at ST. James's
Hospital without regaining conscious
ness. Howard's case proved peculiar
one and puzzled the physicians. AL
though it was known that he had suf-
fered considerably from exposure and
cold. they have not yet been able to de-
termine the exact cause of death. 1t
is likely that an autopsy will be per-
formed later.
Neither the hospital authorities nor
the police know whether Howard has
any. relatives in Newark, although it
is known that he had lived here for
some time. After examination by the
county physician, the body was re-
moved to the morgue.

shall be no hunting Of game in Vermont
from October 24-nezt Sunday--mtil
October 81. The proclamation is, nat
urally, decided disappointment to hun
dreds of people who mad completed their
plans for going into the woods next
week after deer. But over against that
disappointment is the question Of the
public good, which, it seems to The
Times, is Of more consequence. The
absence of rainfall has left the forests
in a tinder-like condition. The fallen
leaves are as dry as the most combusti-
Bile material, and the forests are laid
with this infammable stuff, simply need
ing the dropping Of match or the touch
of spark to set of into a furious
conAagration. The grass, bushes and
trees are in like condition, and should
fires once get started it would be almost
impossible to extinguish them without
the aid Of natures copious showering.
The careful hunter may argue that he
will be watchful that no forest fires
shall be started through his agency di-
rect or indirect; but he must be re-
minded that there are countless other
people who would be careless or indiffer-
ent to the public welfare to the extent
that they wouldn't mind if the forests
did burn, provided they had got their
own personal qualification in the hunt.
At the same time, it is possible that
fires might be started, even though all
the hunters were OF like degree OF dis
erection. Therefore, in view Of those con-
ditions, the action Of Governor Mead
seems to have been wise, and the hunters
should smother their temporary disap-
pointment gracefully.
Further strength to the governors po
sition is given by the agitation in Mas
sachusetts to have Governor Draper de-
clare a closed season on all game hunt
ing. Governor Draper has authority
similar to that of Governor Mead. State
Forester Rane Of that state has called
the executives attention to the danger,
and the governor has already issued a
warning to hunters to be careful lest
they start forest fires In view of the
fact that ere the governors warning
had been issued there had been thirty.
five forest fires started by hunters, it
would seem that such warning would
have little effect Since hunters did
not exert sense enough of their own
accord. it is hardly likely that an execu.
tive plea for more care would change
their tactics to any appreciable effect
Governor Draper is now being urged to
declare closed season, in keeping with
that of Governor Mead, and it ought to
be done. There will be time enough
later to hunt

1t has been left to Vermont to inau-

In this case they knew they were licked
