80 YACHTS LOST
in STUBBORN FIRE
Blaze at Port Washington
Also Destroys Ship

Thirty yachts. chiefly Of the motor
driven type, were destroyed at Port
WaShingtC1. Long Island, yesterday
morning in A fire that wiped out the
buildings and marine railway plant Of
the Manhasset Shipbuilding Company,
formerly known as the Stationary Ma

estimated loss is S25O,O00
one of the first yachts reached by
the blaze was the 60-foot twin-screw
power boat Mystery owned by Ralph
Pulitzer, a member of the Manhasset
Bay Yacht Club. The boat, which wss
designed by Tams. Lemoine & Crane
and built by Lawley & 500, in 1910,
is credited with a speed of thirty-hve
miles an hour.
So quickly did the fire spead, owing
to the inf1ammable nature Of the mate
rials stored about the place, that be-
fore the fremen were able 10 get a
stream on it saving the buildings was
out Of the question. and their attention
was turned 10 the boats stored outside
the buildings. BY pumping water from
the bay they were able to save much
Of the yacht club property.
There was great excitement in the
village when the alarm sounded at $50
O'Clock, and yachtsmen and others from
the various clubs in the neighborhood
rendered all possible assistance to the
local Fire Department.
Virtually all the speed boats hailing
from Port Washington were lost in the
fire The three boats belonging to the
flag officers Of the Port Washington
Yacht CLUB were destroyed. The COM
modore, c. c. Gould, lost his flagship,
the Bessie. A 37-foot twin screw speed
boat. the Pandora. owned by Vice

Of the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club
saved his $4,000 twin-screw power
yacht. the Leda. which was hauled out
for the winter near the plant, but his
small launch. which he carried on the
Leda's davits, and a dingy which
were in the building, were lost. Sew

ROBERTS TO GO ON
RESERVE BOARD
Appointment of Mint Di-
rector Decided on by
President.

Washington, Jan. 25.-George E.
Roberts. Director OF the Mint, has
practically been settled upon by the
President as a member Of the Federal
Reserve Board, which will have charge
Of the administration Of the new cur
rency system.
The appointment will go far toward
confirming the prediction that the
President will not be actuated by par
tisan motives in making his selections
for the board. Mr. Roberts is a Re-
publican. but his achievements In the
political field are of little importance
compared TO the record he has madc
for himself. not only as A practical
banker. but as a student and authority
on financial questions.
As Director Of the Mint he mas
come to be recognized as probably the
greatest authority in the United states
on the production, distribution ana
n,,,,.eneni on gold, tho reserve basis
upon which banking and credit are es-
tablished. In this capacity he "oulu

Senator Hollis told the bankers that
he was almost on the point Of breaking

violating the spirit Of il by suggesting
10 the President that he appoint to the

Test OF Comparison.

Meanwhile all the great powers ex-
cent France are adopting either 10 or
Il inch guns. while all are building
hattleships of vastly greater tonnage
than the new British ships. Germany
and Italy will have 15-inch guns on
sbins Of 10000 and 10000 tons. Russia
14-inch guns on ships of 32,2O0 tons
ranan 14-inch guns on ships of 10000
tons .1e United States 14-inch guns
on ships Of 81 400 and $500 tons, and
France 13.5-inch guns on ships OF ~
800 tons.
Naval critics say that the heavy
ships and guns are sufficiently power
full to blow smaller vessels out OF the
water. and that England, with It's
lightweight fleet, would be swept of
the sea in case Of war by an adversary
having numerically a smaller fleet but
preponderance in tonnage armament
and speed. Nevertheless, since Lord
Nurray's failure the Admiralty IS

PENN STATE.

State College, Oct. S.-To remedy the
Penn. States weakness in opsn field
tackling, Bill Hollenback spent more
than an hour today drilling the lines
men and backs in two squads Coaches
Harlow and HoIlenback did the punt
ing, sending the tacklers down in relays.
The Improvement was marked. 1t was
the first attempt to develop open field
tackling this season. The wet field re-
suited in many fumbles and handi-
capped fast starting. In the scrimmage
between the varsity and first string OF
substitutes two scores were Tailed by
Clarke. One touchdown was registered
by skirting the scrubs right wing and
the other by a plunge through right
tackle Lamb kicked two placement
goals from tine twenty-five and thirty
five yard lines. Wood. the varsity CEN
ter. was used at half-back for a short
time, Painter succeeding him at center.

PRINCETON.

Princeton, n. J., Oct S-There was lots
Of dash and fight in the Tiger scrimmage
today, but the results were not satisfac-
tory when viewed from the stand Of
scoring. The second-st. ,ng men scored
two touchdowns in a fifteen-minute
melee. while the freshmen eleven held
the regulars to one touchdown In forty
five minutes. The field and ball were
slippery, but there was not as much
fumbling as might have been expected.
The edge was taken on the varsity in
the hard drill they had in covering and
receiving punts from scrimmage. Before
the usual Wednesday game. the first and
second teams were lined up against each
other. with Law doing the kicking for
the second and briggs and Boland for
the first There was lots of individual
coaching by the small army Of graduates
during this practice.

VIILANOVA,

ViIlanova, Pa, Oct. S-Yesterday after
noon Coach Summer gave the Villanova
squad the FIRST hard workout since last
Saturday. The varsity and scrubs scrim-
mayed against each other for almost an
hour. The scrubs showed unexpected
form and held the regular team to two
touchdovns. besides scoring one them
selves. Dave Ward was again the star
with his spectacular open field running.
Kiley, the big guard, who was injured
last week in practice. watched the game
from the side lines. His leg Is still in bad
shape, however, and he win probably be
out Of the game for another week at
least In the meantime Romano or Cor
bett will take his place.

CORNELL.

ithaca, n. Y, Oct S-Cornell's football
woes multiplied this afternoon. when, at
the end of q scrimmage that lasted until
darkness, Charles Lahr, substitute full
back on the varsity, was so seriously
hurt that 1t was stated after the prac-
tice that he would not be able to play
for the balance of the year. Lahr was
playing full back on the second team at
the time. The injury, which was to his
leg. brought the practice to a close.
Lahr was rated as one Of the best backs
on the squad, and DR.. Sharpe has nc
substitute Of equal strength to take his
place. There Is slight chance that
O'Hearn viii be able to play against the
Indians, but the coaches hope to have
Barrett and Munsick in the lineup later
in the week.
