Rebuilding of Thimble Shoal Light
Station Favored bv Mr.. Nagel

The request of Secretary Nagel of the
Department of Commerce and Labor for
an appropriation by Congress of $39, 600
to complete the rebuilding of the Thimble
Shoal light station. in lower Chesapeake
bay. meets with the heartiest Endorsement
of all engaged in the navigation of Chesa-
peak bay. 1t has now been about four
years since the light was destroyed, and
since that time a small and temporary
structure has stood on the site of the old
lighthouse. Thimble shoal is one Of the
most treacherous spots in Chesapea ;e
bay, and in the past year several coast
ing schooners have come to grief on this
and other shoals of the bay inside of
Cape Henry.
Thimble Shoal light station was de-
stroyed in the winter of 1909 by schoon-
er in tow of the Norfolk tug John Towhy
striking the lighthouse. The blow was
of sufficient force to knock the structure
from it's fastenings on the iron spider
logged base and to capsize it. The stove
in the house set the building on fire, and
il was destroyed The keeper and his
assistants escaped uninjured, but they
had a close escape from being seriously
burned before they were taken away
from the burning structure.

MUGGY WEATHER TO REMAIN.
No Prospects for Relief for at Least
Forty Eight Hours.

The official prognosticators of the wealth
er bureau turned their long-range tele-
scopes on the northwestern skies today,
but failed to find any prospects of bet
ter weather for Washington and vicinity,
at least for several days.
The showery, sticky, humid weather of
yesterday and today will be here for an
other forty-eight hours at least. accord
ing to the forecaster. The disturbance, he
says. is general over the country east of
the Mississippi river. and extends clear
to the Atlantic ocean and over the edge.
Over the great lakes he says, the bad
weather seems to be at it's worst, though
Shreveport. La. had nearly six inches of
rain in the twenty-four hours ending
last midnight. The disturbance Is moving
this way from the northwest, and is be-
ing followed by an area of low tempera-
ture. which means no seasonable weather
for several days, as the rains, when they
pass onward, will give place to another
spell Of un-AugNstlike weather, with cool
days and cooler nights.

SCHOONER MAY BE SAVED.
Preparations for Recovery of Sunken
Vessel From Yeocomic0 River.

The two-masted bay schooner Jennie
limbs, which is lying In the Yeocomico
river. Va, on her beam ends and full Of
water. will probably be raised and re-
stored to service. Several weeks ago.
while the vessel was loading cord wood
for this city. she grounded and filled with
water. Unsuccessful efforts we're made at
the time to get the schooner ahoat.
1t is said it was intended to wait until
the low tides of the fall came, but the
northwest winds that have been prevailing
have caused low water in the river, so
that the effort to get the vessel afioat will
probably be made now.
The limbs is owned by Gasch & Birge
of this city, who purchased the vessel
for the purpose Of bringing wood from
creek to Washington. She
is a vessel Of thirty gross tons register
and is 80 feet long, 16 feet beam and Z
feet deep in the hold. She was built at
county, Va, in 1883, and
has been employed almost exclusively in
the Chesapeake bay trade.

The local police say that William ].
Renk, arrested in Kansas City, under the
name of Arthur H. Frank, to answer a
charge of forgery, and who said he mar
ried a Miss Mary T. Judge in this city
last month, may be a man who recently
passed several worthless checks in this
city.
Inspector Boardman read in The Star
yesterday of the arrest and wired the
Kansas City authorities for photograph
of the prisoner. The inspector said this
morning he thought the man under ar
rest probably is one who passed a
worthless check at the Raleigh Hotel for
$50.
At the hotel the man signed his name
as F. R. Taylor. The check was drawn
on the Western National Bank of Okla

not associate Renk with c. B. Morse,

ANACOSTIA.

At the special meeting Of the execu-
tive committee and members of various
committees Of the Anacostia Citizens
Association last evening at the home of
Charles r. Burr, president, 1914 Valley
place, it was decided that the association
this year use all of it's efforts to raise
sufficient money for improving Nichols
avenue between Good Hope road and the
foot Of what is known as the Asylum
hill, for the Improvement of the approach
to the new bridge and for placing street
railway power underground along this
thoroughfare. 1t was explained that the
money for this latter project already
was available and all that was needed
would be about $4,000 to place the road
way from Good Hope road southwark in
good condition at the same time as the
other work was done.
This was decided on after much dis
cussion, as it was felt that concentrating
all efforts on one subject would accom-
plisn more than asking for number of
minor improvements.
In addition to this the Commissioners
are to be asked to consider the following
desired improvements: Extension Of
Mount View place from its present termi-
nus at Morris road to Talbert street; eX-
tension OIL AnCOin street nOfTh from w
street to the river: placing of grano-
Hthic sidewalk on the east side of Nichols
avenue from w street to Pleasant street
and improvement of conditions at south
