Expert Swimmer Who Had Rescued
Many Among Victims.

more victims yesterday Within a few
hours two men we're drowned near
Race street wharf, Philadelphia, and a
third fell into the back channel at the
League Island Navy Yard and failed

Department, attached to police boat
Edwin S. Stuart. fell from the police

McLoon was born and raised. The
two others who met their death by
drowning we're John Cowcill. a paint
er on the armored cruiser Montana OF
the Atlantic reserve feet, and Hugh
Ferguson. who is believed TO have
been a longshoreman.
Mystery surrounds all three drown
ings. McLoon had the reputation OF
being an expert swimmer and on sew
eral OCCASIONS leaped into the Della
ware river and rescued persons who
were about TO sink The Stuart had
just returned from the Pusey and
Jones Company yard, Wilmington,
and had not gone into commission

TECH, JR., BALKED
IN CAPE MAY RACE

Al the regatta held at Cape May
yesterday, the contest between the hy-
droplanes Tech, Jr., OF this city,
owned by General T. Coleman DUPONT,
Chelsea Special and the Elmaja H.,
proved to be disappointing owing TO
the Tech, Jr., becoming balky. This
race was the event OF the day with
Chelsea frst away. She had almost
made the circuit Of the course before
the Elmaja II was ordered TO start
The Tech, Jr. was held two minutes
longer than.the Elmaja IL but she got
a poor start and IN addition her en-
gines refused to work BcNh the
Chelsea Special and the Elmaja II
had q lap on the Tech before she
reached the first stake. In fact she
was forced 10 shut down entirely be-
fore the first turn, her engine missing
so badly that II was impossible to get
up any speed The Tech had warmed
up for the race In splendid shape and
the big crowd anticipated some phe-
nomenal work, but. like a eulky race
horse, the Tech. Jr., refused TO ex-
tend herself when the contest was on.
She lay 10 until after the other niers
had made three laps, then she was
finally sent over the course once al
rate of four minutes for the IL
miles, which showed how easily she
could have overtaken thelChelsea Spe-
cial and Elmaja II had she been right
from the start. But one round was the

MIR. HASTINGS

Thinks MIR. Heald Would be
Unpopular Candidate
This Time
PEOPLE TIRED" HE SAYS
COMMENTING ON SITUATION

City Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings
today was asked about the rumor that
he may be urged as a candidate for
Congress. According TO a report,
Everett c. Johnson. OF Newark. had
withdrawn as candidate for Con-
gress. and Mr.. Hastings was TO be
urged for nomination against Con-
gresham william H. Head Mr.
johnson today denied that he had
withdrawn. When Mr.. Hastings was
asked about his reported candidacy he
said
mo, of course I am not a candi-
date for Congress. This rumor has
been going around for two or three
months past. It Is the suggestion
of Heald's friends. They hope TO
show that my well-known opposition
10 the denomination of Heald is per-
sonal or selfish
IF ! did want the nomination and
could get IL, I should think It was
very foolish politics to nominate me.
The people in this State get tired Of
having one man in office all the time.
They are tired OF me and ! know "
and don't blame them. They are
tired of Heald and he knows it, and
he oughtn't to blame them. II is
time for both OF us neither to seek
nor to accept further honors from our
party
Il am opposed to Mr. Heald only
because I believe he would be an ex-
ceedingly unpopular candidate. A
man may be a good man to have on
the ticket in one campaign and g
very poor one in the next. This is
not the time to nominate Heald.
Everett G. Johnson is my choice
IN New Castle county. He is handi-
capped somewhat because he is not
well known, but in my opinion is as
good as Delaware has ever sent tc
Congress and il nominated would
make a great campaign. Johnson and
his friends agree, however, that II
would be better politics to take the
