/ Mr.. L. E. Lambert, of Roland
Park, president of the Lambertville
Automobile Co., and DR.. William f.
Pickett, of Irvington, had an expert
fence Sunday morning which they
1 will not forget in hurry. They
were Ell route for Baltimore in the
Virginia IL, 35 foot gasoline boat,
| belonging to Mr.. Lambert, when the
engine pump refused to work, as
the result of which the engine be-
came so hot that il was impossible
to run it.
| The accident occurred off Sharp s
Island, after the two gentlemen had
spent several days in Cambridge,
having made the run from BATH
more on Wednesday in six hours.
Mr.. Lambert. whose Company has
| the State agency for the Hudson
automobile, had completed his bust
ness here and had enjoyed the boat
| inc in the waters of the Choptank
fer day or so, and decided to re-
turn TO Baltimore Sunday. The ac-
cident referred to above left them
completely at the mercy of the
waves and wind, which had risen,
and for quite little while they
drifted around, first on the crest of
the waves and thenlin the trough of
the sea. The United States flag
which they had been flying was re-
yersed, being a signal of distress,
and guns were fired repeatedly in
an effort to attract attention. The
boat was finally sighted by the
steamer Texas, of the Eastern Shore
Development Steamship Co., which
took IL in tow The boat came close
many times to turning over, and
finally the seas became SO rough
that it was necessary to cut the
hawsef and turn the plucky little
boat adrift. A short time afterward,
while endeavoring to keep close to
the drifting boat, the Texas ran
aground. In the meantime, Mr.. Lam
bert and DR.. Pickett hoisted anoth-
er signal of distress raincoat--

rescue, and the boat and its Occur
pants were taken to that place.
DR.. Pickett, in attempting to get
ashore. fell overheard, and Mr.Lam-s
bert, without hesitation, plunged in.
to his rescue.
Mr.. Lambert, who was recently
elected member of the Cambridge
Yacht Club, was in telephone COM
munication with Mr.. James Smitha
of the Club, this morning,and stated
that he was feeling fine, but that
DR.. Pickett was confined to his beds
as the result of his trying expert
ences. The boat, he also stated,
seemed to be in bad condition, as
the engine was completely out of
commission, and he feared that the
null was damaged. He expects, how
ever, to have it fixed up at once,
and will be in Cambridge with it in
about ten days.

6I IOm D HINOHENNS
Is Johnny Kilbane, king of feath-
erweights, to retire from the division
without having had real contest at
the weight for the title?
The feathers are not in so bad
fix as the middle and welterweights,
as the class can at least boast of a
legitimate champion in Kilbane,
whereas the other two are without
recognized holder.
Stories have been circulated that
the little Cleveland wonder has de-
cided to become a full-fedged light
weight
This may be true, but have my
doubts. Recently while dining with
Johnny and his manager, Jim Dunn,
in New York, l put the question to
Kilbane and his answer. almost quail
fies him as a Yankee, for it was a
question.
"Why should l take on 1873 pound
ers when can get good money for
meeting 122-pound boys?" he de-
manded.
Little Johnny is satisfied to go
along WlCn the IeaLneTS, anu uOn I
think l cannot make 122 pounds
ringside. l never weigh more than
LIT and more often .I24. This talk
of me weighing 100 is pure bunk"
Basing my opinion upon Kilbane's
statement, 1 cannot believe he in
tends to risk his title just to get
matches. He may give away weight
to some fighters, but when it comes
to a championship fight you will find
Johnny scaling 122 pounds and he
won't be in a hurry to take on 1873
pound man.
KiIbane never received the credit
he deserved as featherweight cham
pion. He whipped Abe Atten when
many thought Abe was going back.

HIS SPEECH FROM THRONE

Promises Full Religious Liberty for
Church, But Will Not Brook
Interference.

ROME November 27.-Brilliant cere-
mony today attended the opening of the
Italian parliament by King Victor EN-
Helena and the royal princes. droves1n
state carriages from the Quirinal through
streets lined by immense throngs to thu
senate house. When he entered the par
liamentary building the assembled depu-
ties and senators rose and cheered him.
Leonida ati-Bergamaschi, leader
of the reform socialists; Prof. Enrico
Ferri, independent socialist, and Carlo
Dell Acqua, republican, took the oath in
the presence of the king, a form unpre-
cedented in the Italian parliament, where
socialists and republicans hitherto had
always stayed away from the opening.
Speech From the Throne.
The kings speech from the throne was
greeted for the first time by represen-
tatives of all classes of the nation, mad
possible by the introduction in Italy of
universal suffrage.
His majesty recapitulated the events OF
the conquest of Li.ya by the Italian
army and navy. to whom he gave un-
stinted praise, at the same time paying
a touching tribute to those who had
fallen in the fighting. He said the con-
quest had given Italy civilizing mission
which it would accomplish with respect
for the religion, the family life and the
property of the natives. 1t would also
open a field for Italian emigration in the
neighborhood of the mother country and
so prevent Italian subjects from wander
ing away to distant lands.
The king announced that many reforms
were to be introduced in Italy, and al
luded to the intention of the governm> mt
to give Italian women their rightful
place.
Liberty for the Church.
Concerning the church, his majesty said
the most ample religious liberty would
be given to it, but that 1t would be
prevented from interfering in state af-
fairs, as the government regarded itself
as the only representative of Italian sub
jects and could not admit any limitat ton
of its sovereignty.
Speaking Of the Balkans, the king said
the accord between Italy and the other
European powers had prevented graver
conflicts arising than those which had
occurred. Italy, he said, desired the Bal
kans to enjoy peace and prosperity, and
experience had demonstrated that the
groups of powers forming the triple al
lance and the triple entante had ere
ated an equilibrium of forces which was
the best guarantee of peace.
His majesty urged the strengthening of
the army and navy and the placing of
Italian finances on more solid footing.
and appealed to the weather. classes to
show their patriotism by acceding cheer
fully to- the making of greater contribu-
tions to the NATIONAL exchequer.

TURKEY IN ENGLAND.
Priority of Holiday Custom Subject
of Newspaper Discussion.

LONDON, November 27.-The timely
question of whether the European Gus
tom of eating turkey at Christmas is
older than the American custom of eat
Ing turkey at Thanksgiving time is
raised in a two-column article in the
Times today. 1t says that most English
men are inclined to doubt the priority
of the THANKSGIVING bird.
The article does not satisfactorily
settle the question. but comes to the con-
clusion that If Englishmen would make
good their claim that the custom of eat
ing turkey at Christmas IL the older
they must prove that it existed between
1890 when the turkey first came TO
Europe, and 1870. when the colonies in
America first ate the fowl and gave
thanks.
