TWO OIL BARGES IN PORT.
Brought Through Ice From Balti-
more by Two Tugs.

Two big tank barges belonging to the
Standard Oil Company. laden with gaso-
line and other oils, we're brought into
port yesterday by the Standard Oil Com
pany- tug No. IL and the M. Mitchell
Davis of this city. The barges carried
over half million gallons Of oil. Both
will be unloaded and the tugs will start
back to Baltimore with them early to-
morrow morning.
The tugs and barges left Baltimore early
Friday morning, and had clear water in
the bay, but Capt. Frank Taylor Of the
tug Davis reports having struck ice at
Point Lookout, at the mouth of the river,
and having run through 1t to this city.
From Point Lookout to above Glymont
the ice Is drifting, and heavy gorges were
struck at Glymont and at the White
House. Between these two points the
tow line connecting the tugs and the
barges parted twice. and considerable
trouble was had in getting other lines to
them, and this delayed the arrival Of the
vessels here about two hours.
This is the first tow of barges to come
up the river since the oil barges were
here in the middle of January. Repairs
had to be made to both tug and barge
after that trip.

ADRIFT IN THE ICE.
Schooner Edna B. Reported as Dere-
lict in Chesapeake Bay,

The little bay schooner Edna B. is re-
ported adrift in the ice and abandoned
in Chesapeake bay, having been passed
early in the week about a mile south OF
Tangier Island buoy by the steamer
Newton, which reported the derelict
when she arrived at Baltimore from
Boston. The vessel is supposed to have
been lying at anchor in one Of the har-
bors on the eastern shore of Chesapeake
bay and to have been carried out of the
marbor by the ice.
The Edna B. is a vessel of 3 tons regis
ter and rs feet long, Is feet beam and
% feet deep in the hold. She was built
at Elliott, Nd, in 1895, and halls from
Crisfield. Owing to the heavy ice in the
bay the work sof breaking the vessel out
of the foes would be . difficult task to
all except big tug or icebreaking boat

APACHE IS KEPTb BUSY
Engaged in Aiding Craft in
Chesapeake Bay.
OYSTER BOATS RESCUED
Much Loss Saved Those Who Would
Feel It Seriously-Work Of
Other Cutters.
OYSTER BOATS REscu

The vessels of the revenue cutter serv-
ice fleet, with the exception Of the cutter
Apache, Capt. Carmine, in service on
Chesapeake bay, have had but few calls
upon them for assistance in the past
week, though they have been kept con-
stantly cruising over their stations ready
to give aid to the mariner or Snip in dis
tress. The officers and men of the serv-
ice are now having an opportunity to
rest from their strenuous WORK in the
early part Of this month, when wrecks
were being reported almost hourly, but
they do not know what minute a mes
sage may come to them by wireless tell
ing them their services are needed. and
at once they will hasten to the rescue of
the unfortunate ship and its crew.
The ice in Chesapeake bay has been
keeping the cutter Apache on a constant
move since she left Baltimore, after TAX
ing on coal and stores, in the early part
of last week. In addition to assisting
the fleet of oyster boats adrift in the
ice in Tangier sound, as mentioned in
The Star, the cutter went under orders
from the department here to Leonard
town to open a way for the steamers
from Baltimore to get into that town
with stores of all kinds, but the Balti-
more icebOat had arrived in Bretons
bay first and the services of the Apache
were not needed. Capt Carmine reports
having in the latter part of last week
broken the soop Ocean Queen from the
ice near Crisfield, Nd, and in compliance
with the request of the master of the
vessel having lowed her out of the ice in
Tangier sound to clear water. The ves-
sci then proceeded to her destination
under sail.
The Apache also found the schooner
Harriet Howarth, laden with oysters in
the shell. abandoned in Chesapeake bay
and adrift in the ice. The vessel was
leaking badly, and to carry her into Girls
field the pumps of the Apache had to be
used. The vessel had drifted out of Girls
field in the ice and her crew had esca ed
from her over the foes. She was taken
back to Crisfield and turned over to her
owner and master. Wednesday last the
Apache found the tWo-masted bay
schooner William Thomas Moore, Capt
Jones, helpless in the ice in the bay, and
after freeing her towed her into the
Patuxtent river for harbOr.
While the work of the cutter has only
been among small craft and does not
represent large money value, the vessels
saved belonged to Oystermen and fiSner-
men whose entire worldly wealth is in
vested in their vessels, the loss of which
would be more to them than would the
loss of big steamship be to the wealthy
corporations owning them. The Apache
is also taking part in the efforts beng
made to float the Norwegian freighter
Sf, ashore near Seven Foot Knoll, in
Chesapeake bay.

FIRE DRILLS IN STORES
Movement Inaugurated by
Women's Welfare Depart
iment, Civic Federation.

A movement has been started by a
committee of the District of Columbia
branch Of the women's welfare depart
ment of the National Civic Federation, to
encourage the adoption of fire drill at
stated intervals for employees in every
shop and Office building in Washington.
The plan Of the committee is to have a
drill SO simple in character that there can
be no opposition to its use. The drill is
intended to give employees accurate
knowledge of all exits, the quickest
routes to them and to promote gen.
eral feeling of security in case Of an
alarm of fire. 1t would tranquillize the
customers, also. to find the clerks well
drilled and calm enough to direct them,
if necessary.
Plan Adopted by Merchants.
A. Lisner proprietor of the Palais
Royal, consented to be the first Of the
Washington merchants to try the drill.
getting out 600 employees in four minutes.
S. Kann, Sons & Co. emptied their store
of more than 900 employees in two and a
half minutes. w. B. Moses & Sons have
had an effective fire drill in operation for
several years. Goldenberg's adopted the
welfare's suggestion, and is having its
employees trained under the supervision
Of an official of the city fire department
The committee, owing to lack of time,
has not been able to visit as many pro-
prietors as it desired, but all those seen
have been willing to adopt the plan.
Among those who have consented to in
stall the drill about the first of February,
it is announced, are Saks e. Co., Lans-
burgh & Bro, julius Garfinkle & Co.,
Dulin & Martin Co., Hecht Company,
Woodward & Lothrop and F. w. Wool
worth & Co.

IS REBUKED
FOR HIS ATTACK ON BOYS
He Claims They Refused to
Leave His Home When
Told to Go.

Christian humility afforded a theme for
, a sermon from the bench yesterday to
rebuke the militancy Of vestryman who
| beat a boy Of the same church parish.
The sermon was handed down by Judge
Pugh in Police Court. The vestryman
was James Berry of Christ Episcopal
Church. g street southeast. whose per-
| sonal bonds were accepted on conviction
Of the assault. The boy complainant was
Frederick M. Kirby, commander Of the
parish boys brigade company.
Commander Kirby, according to his
verified story. with a written request for
the surrender of the property of the
company, seized when the boys were
elected from the parish hall, applied to
the home Of Vestryman Berry. The
vestryman read the request, said Kirby
and his boy companions, then proceeded
to push, kick and hit indiscriininately.
Blood flowed, and the boys were knocked
OF the stOop, some of them with barked
shins.
Church people should not fight" child
ed Judge Pugh. 'They are the visible
messengers to humanity of the peace and
good will toward all men propaganda that
is so consistently ignored in these modern
days of society
1T is distasteful for me to act as ar
pltcI III SUCH matters dS THESE, dUueu
Judge Pugh. But he at the same time
adjudged Vestryman Berry guilty.
The boys companys use of the parish
hall as an armory was the bone of con-
tention. Thursday night they were put
out, and their equipment was removed.
Went to Demand Equipment.
Supported by five other boys, Com
mander Kirby went to the home of
Vestryman Berry at IA Third street He
carried with him written demand for
the surrender of their arms and equip
ment.
Mr.. Berry was a member Of the vestry
church property committee and had been
leading the fight against us. We were
told he was the person to see. and we
went to him with our written request for
the equipment" Kirby testified.
The moment after he read the request,
Kirby and his associates testified, the
defendant attacked the boys
He bloodied my nose kicked my
brother in the side and knocked two
other boys off his porch" Kirby added.
Then we went to the fifth precinct and
complained"
Berry admitted the assault, qualifying
his admission by declaring previous acts
of the boys had made him fearful they
intended to attack him. He said the boys
refused to depart when he asked them,
Then he sailed into them.
They were forbidden further use of the
parish hall, he said, because of disorderly
conduct. The youths declared later they
proposed to get their equipment, but were
undecided as to how to proceed further.

KALAKAUA AVENUE
PARK REPORT

A report from the special commit,
ton of the Kalakaua avenue parking
tion Of the aKlakaua avenue parking
scheme is expected to be made at the
meeting of the Central Improvement
Committee, which President Won Damn
has called for next Friday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. The meeting will be
held in the rooms of the Merchants
Association, Young Hotel building
The report has been practically de
cided upon, its most important fea-
ture, aside from the fact that it
strongly favors the general idea, being
that it would cut down the central
parked area to 12 instead of 20 feet
as proposed by the road committee
OF the board of supervisors
An interesting feature in connection
with this proposition is that the Kai.
muki Improvement Club, at its meet.
ing a week ago, fatty repudiated the
action of its delegates to the central
body in supporting the park strip
plan. The Kaimukiites took the view
