Butler of the Rhode Island Is
Sucked Under Vessel by

New York, Oct 14.-EnsIgn andes

In the Hudson river yesterday while
returning with three fellow officers
to his post on the battleship Rhode Is
land, in the line of the great Atlantic

tial review.
In another accident on the river six
sailors from the battIeship Maine rae.
cued IL persons from drowning.
1t is estimated that 100000 sight
seers, many attracted from remote
sections or the country, boarded the
larger ships of the fleet and that more
than 100000 persons viewed the feet
from shore during the day and last
evening. when the ships were again

lie and his party had passed the night
IN the city and were on the way back
TO the ship In a small private launch.
The little boat was making headway
with difficulty against the strong
tide, and when still 80 feet from the
battleship young Butler was seen to
step out from beneath the canopy
and walk into the water.
1t is believed he thought mistakenly
that the launch had sort OF running
board outside the canopy, as naval
launches have, and that he intended
TO step on this to make preparations
for the landing
The strong tide carried him down
and under the battIeship. One OF his
companions dived for him, but was
unable to reach him and was rescued
with difficulty.
Butler was % years old. He was
appointed TO Annapolis from Louisi-
ana and was graduated last year
The rescue in which the sailors
from the battleship Maine figured as
heroes occurred when a small launch
in which Bernard Bauer and his fam
lily and friends were visiting the ship
was cut squarely in two by the sharp
bow Of the bigger steam launch Vixen,
and the occupants of the small craft,
including seven men and four women,
were thrown into the river. The lit,
tie launch fOundered almost immedi-
ately.
Six sailors from the Maine were on
the Vixen, and they were the first to
plunge over the side to the rescue of
the women. All hands were taken
aboard safely.

Albert Hanna Starts Battle

in for a Visit.
TIRED OF BEING A HOST
Claims Too Much of Good Thina and
Starts to Clean Out Place
In jail Now.

Albert Hanna, 514 Michigan ave-
nue., South Rock Island, does not
cherish any never dying or perpetual
affection for his wife's relations. In
fact, every time any representatives
from his wife's branch of the family
tree ring the front door bell and smiI-
ingly announce that they have decid.
ed to board and room there for the
day, Albert begins to see red and his
angry passions are aroused. Saturday
night, Albert dabbled to excess with
the grape and on the Sabbath day
was still feeling care free and exub-
Grant.
IRE IS AROUSED,
About o'clock in the afternoon
Mrs. Hanna's brother and wife de-
scended upon the manor house for
another visit. At that time, Al was
reclining upon the sole, but no soon
er did he hear the familiar voices OF
the dear relatives, than he leaped from
the sofa, so angry that he was breath
ing through his nose. Employing no
tact or diplomacy, the irate husband
harshly announced his intentions of
forcibly ejecting the intruders and be-
gan TO smash up the furniture to loos-
en- up the kinks in his muscles. The
relatives complained to the police and
Hanna was incarcerated in the county
bastile. This morning he was given
10 days for disorderly conduct.
DRINK THE CAUSE.
According to Mrs. Hanna's story.
her husband has worked but four DAYS
in the past two weeks. When he is
drinking, he becomes abusive and has
repeatedly threatened the lives Of
his wife and five babies. When he is
sober, he is a changed man, but when
drink gets the best of him he becomes
q demon.
With tears in his eyes, Hanna plead
for chance this morning and promis-
ed never to touch liquor again. The
judge told him he had a punishment
coming and 10 days would give him a
chance to frame up some good reso.
buttons.

The board of education met Satur-

ing plant in the new Manual Arst

reference to installing a new engine
