THE WILHELM, FL0ATED,
RETURNS TO THE CITY
Examination of Government
Launch That Caught on Piles
to Be Made.

The government launch Wilhelm was
hung UP between two partly submerged
piles at Giesboro point last night but was
tioated early this morning and returned
to Washington. \ thorough examination
of the boat will be made. From the
superficial examination made when the
Wilhelm reached the city this morning
the launch appeared TO have suffered no
damage except for the scraped Sides
where the tops OF the piles rub bed the
paint off.
The Wilhelm went on the piles in the
dense fog shortly after o'clock last
night On board the launch was a party
of twenty officers and enlisted men from
Fort Washington and Fort Hunt. the
party also including two women. When
the launch struck the piles she was pro-
ceeding at low speed owing to the fog
that hung over the river. Navigation
was difficult. and the men running the
boat Were not aware of their exact posi-
ton until the launch struck the piles and
came to a sudden stop.
The row of partly submerged timberS
upon which the Wilhelm became wedged
is all that remains of an old wharf that
has not been used for about ten years
The water at the point where the launch
struck is not more than four or five feet
deep. The launch slid in between two of
il could no. go ahead or back out.
Telephones for Help.
Capt. Williams of the launch went
ashore when il was seen the launch
could not be taken off, and telephoned
TO the harbor police precinct, asking that
a launch be sent down to bring the men,
bers of the party back to Washington.
The police launches, however. carry no
compasSeS. and the heavy fog made it
impracticable for them to go TO the aid
of the stranded army party.
Finally. however the Ffrefighter, the
harbor tireboat. went down the river and
brought the members of the party TO the
city, the fireboat reaching it's wharf
about II O'Clock last night
The party included, besides Capt. and
Mrs. Williams, Capt. James Z. Wilson,
Lieuts- Harry Allen, F. NJ. Green and
Rex Chandler. all of the Coast Artillery
Corps, Fort Washington; Engineer Robey
of the launch, Miss Mary Bayly, daugh-
ter of Sergt. Bayly of Fort Hunt, and
twelve enlisted men.
The Wilhelm is one of the finest boats
of her character on the river. The launch
cost $4,000 is about fifty feet long. and
has a commodiOus and comfortably fit
ted-up cabin, inclosed all around. She
is a gasoline launch. and in cold weather
Is heated with hot water from an aux
ilary boiler and coils.

Precautions Are Taken.

Each day the library is furnished with
a statement from the District health de-
partment giving the names and resi-
dences of all persons having contagious
or infectious diseases In this way the
occupants of houses in which there is
sickness are prevented from taking books
from the library.
Where library books are in home
when a contagious or infectious disease
breaks out they are not returned until
they have been disinfected by the health
department When they are received at
the library they are disinfected a second
time, double precaution. Where the
health department believes that diSin-
lection will not kill any germs that
might exist. the books are destroyed
The Public Library of the District of Co
lumbia takes unusually good care of its
books and replaces worn and soiled books
much more frequently than the libraries
of other cities.

SEEKS SANITARY COVER
FOR USE ON MAGAZINES
Librarian George w. Bower
man Is Making Series of
Experiments.

A series of experiments IS to be con-
Quoted by George W. Bowerman. libra
rian of the Public Library. for the pur-
pose of selecting an inexpensive and yet
efficient cover for the magazines in the
reading room which is less liable 10
spread disease than those in use at
present.
Mr.. Bowerman plans to have the covers
made of heavy red rope paper. They
will cost only a few cents, and when they
become soiled will be destroyed. The
covers now being used at the library are
quite expensive, being made of heavy red
leather with a patent fastening clasp.
Because of their cost they cannot be re-
newed as often as Mr.. Bowerman would
like. The covers become badly soiled
and because of their continued use are
liable to spread disease.
The management of the Public Library
takes great pains to see that the circu-
lating books are kept in a sanitary con-
dition, so that there is little danger of
the spreading of disease from this source
A card catalogue is kept of the names
of persons who use the circulating IL
brary and another catalogue gives their
residences.

NORRIS.M|DWAY
REPORT IS 0. X.

That the property of the Norris
Midway Oil Company Is oil-produc-
ing, that it affords an excellent oppor-
tunity, is the report made 10 local
stockholders BY Nelson b. Lansing Of
this city, who was sent to the oil
fields TO make IA report for Hawaiian
investors.
His report has been made public
and is very encouraging to those here
who hold the stock. Mr.. Lansing
finds that the property is in good
shape, operations in well-drilling are
going along with efficiency and econ
omy and that the well should be fin
ished within sixty days. As the re-
port was dated some weeks ago. the
well Is now expected to come in"
within thirty days.
He says that after examination he
would urge the continuation Of opera
tons. Mr.. Clark and the others In
active charge, he finds, are devoting
their entire time to 1t and are careful
about expenses. The well at the time
the report was written was down some
1860 feet, but should now be down
about 1850 feet, and Is expected to he
completed around $500 feet. The
nearest proven well is $500 feet deep
but the oil formation indicates that
the Norris-Midway bore should not he
so deep.
Martin Gruno, agent, said this
morning that the finances to conclude
boring have been arranged Tor and
there Is no reason why work should
