BURNING LAUNCH
SIGNALS DISTRESS
Fire Boat Required to Save Yacht
Canaoa in Washington
Harbor.

Thomas V. Ketchum. owner, and a
party OF eight guests aboard the fifty-foot
cabin cruiser Canaoa, sent up distress
signals yesterday afternoon when one OF
the yachtsmen accidentally dropped a
lighted match in bilge that was more
gasoline than water.
Ketchum, who had taken up one Of the
boards forming the floor of the cockpit.
had to move rapidly when the match,
igniting the gasoline mixed with the bilge.
sent flames upward from the space be-
meath the pit.
Anchored in Washington harhor, oppo-
site Regan's boathouse, the men on the
boat had little trouble in hailing per-
sons on shore, and the distress calls
We're transmitted to the police. The po-
lice boat Vigilant and the Firefighter
were steaming toward the burning
cruiser in a few minutes.
The Firefighter drew alongside and
sent a three-inch stream into the cockpit
OF the Canaoa and the flames were
quickly drenched. So were several OF
the party. Ketchum says the fire
caused damage rot exceeding $50. He de-
clared last night his boat would have
been destroyed IL the Firefghter had
not responded so promptly.
Ketchum lives at 1220 Girard Street

.EDICT MAY RBYIYB
DISTRICT ROMANCE
Dame Rumor Says Robert Bacon,
Jr., May Now Wed Miss
Cecilia May.

The edict OF the Pope revoking the
law forbidding the marriage OF Catho-
lies and non-Catholics may bring to
light again the romance of Miss Ce-
| ella May. daughter of Col. and Mrs
Henry May, and Robert Bacon. tr.. son
OF the former Ambassador to France
which ended SO abruptly two years
ago. Miss May and her family are
strict followers Of the Roman faith,
while Mr.. Bacon and his family are
Protestants. Two years ago a special
dispensation was secured through Car
dinal Gibbons to allow the marriage
TO take place. with the one provision
that the children OF the union must be
brought up In the Roman Church. AL
most on the very eve OF the wedding.
an announcement was sent out by Col.
and Mrs. May of the ending of the en-
gagement. Society and clubdom were
busy for days with conjectures as to
the cause OF the ending Of the romance.
Col May finally acknowledged that It
was all on account of the clause as to
the faith Of the possible children.
Shortly afterward Col. May and his
family went abroad. where they have
been travelling until recently. Since
their return to this country Miss May
and her former hance have met fire.
quently and II is said that they show
marked interest In each other. Sew
eral months ago the gossip said that
Mr.. Bacon was to marry his former
sweetheart in spite Of all religious con-
victions, but this report never mate

sister, Miss Isabelle May. Is now at her
parents summer home on Long Island.
and Mr.. Bacon Is with his parents at

Now that the restriction Is wiped away
by the hand Of His Holiness OF Rome. II
may be that Miss May will be one OF
the brides OF the fall.
Miss May, who is the youngest daugh-
ter or Col and Mrs. May, is considered
one Of the most beautiful girls in Wash
ington, and during her travels in Europe
has won a reputation for beauty. She
made her debut in Washington several
years ago, and became one OF the best
liked girls in the younger set. Like her
sister. Miss Isabelle May, she was Al

The romance between Miss May and
Mr.. Bacon began when they were both
very young. After Miss Mays debut,
Mr.. Bacon was always her devoted cava-
ller. The announcement of the engage

friends.

DEAD WIFE'S APPENDIX
LOVE TOKEN, LUCK PIECE
LIKEWISE COSTLY RELIC

Seattle. Wash. July 2s.-Friends of
Sidney c. Love, the millionaire broker,
formerly OF Chicago and New York. are
wondering whether ne wears his latest
addition to his personal adornment as a
mark of affection for his former wife or
simply because of its cost.
The article in question is his former
wife's appendix. Mr.. Love wears it neat
ly incased in a gold tube, which is sus-
pended from his watch chain.
AS the wife Of very rich man. the
cost of the operation was probably great
enough to maSc 1t seem of no little val
ue to even a millionaire. At any rate,
Mr.. Love wears 1t in much the same
way as any one would wear a priceless
piece Of jewelry.

the Democratic candidate has refused to

yesterday following the publication in q

self directly or Indirectly, nor will he.
In letter to Representative Gregg. of
Texas, a no-battleship man, the Governor
refuses to express his desires, or enter
into the controversy in any way. Mr..
Gregg wrote the Governor some time
ago. stating the position taken by the no.
battleship contingent, asking for the
Governors views, and indicating that a
word in favor of the no-battleship pro-
gramme would be greatly appreciated.
To this Gov. Wilson replied that he did
not care TO enter the controversy or ex-
press an opinion; that he had no de-
sire to NEEDLE with matters which con-
cerned the House alone. and that he was
confident the matter would be well han

that they are working against the Gov

That the House will authorize at least

WILL CALM ROUGH
WAVES OF THE AIR
New York Electrical Engineer Has
Plan to Pour Electricity on
Troubled Air.

New York. July &-An attempt TO calm
air waves by wireless transmission OF
! electricity in the same way that mari
ners calm a tempestuous sea by pouring
oil on the waves will be tried to-mor-
row on the aviation field near Mineola
William r. Russell, a young electrical
engineer. has conceived the idea and
will try the experiment from Joseph s.
Stevenson's new biplane. II successful
the experiment will mark an epoch in the
conquest Of the air.
II an aeroplane can travel constantly
in reasonably calm air without the up
ward swirls and the air holes which
have caused so many fatalities the dan
ger will be minimized.
Russell is wee president Of several wire
less organizations, and is chief scout OF
the Signal Corps OF the National Guard
of New York. He is a graduate OF Co.
lumbia University.
The result of Russells study came 10
light yesterday in a demonstration at the
rooms of the Aeronautical Society in West
Fifty-eighth Street. He brought out
small square box in which he had his
coils.
A powerful electric fan was set in mo-
ton. 1t blew a baby gale within a foot
or two OF its position. Russell charged
the wires leading from the box and took
4 piece Of paper and threw it into the
air. The shred OF paper shot away in the
full blast OF the fan, but it had moved
scarcely eleven inches when suddenly II
fioated lazily. 20 the amazement Of the
spectators it acted exactly as II II were
eddylng around in still air, but 1t seemed
TO have an unusual buoyancy.
Russell explained he would operate his
apparatus on the aeroplane almost in he
same way; the complete machine would
increase the weight of the aeroplane only
twenty-seven pounds.
Russell Is also working on a motor
which he hopes will operate an aeroplane
with electricity drawn from the atmos-
phere.
