U. s. MAY PURCHASE
BATTLESHTP MORENO
Rumors Current That Govern
ment Will Buy Argentine Su-
perdreadnought.

Rumors to the effect that the United
States was negotiating for the purchase
of the new Argentine battleship Moreno.
recently completed at the New York
Shipyard. were revived today when the
big sea fighter tied up at a dock at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. This Is the
first time a foreign war craft has ever
been permitted to warp inside the waters
of the yard, and this, together with a
visit of inspection made by President
Wilson and Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels when the vessel was in Hampton
Roads, lends credence to persistent re-
ports that the ship will never be deliv-
cred to the Argentine Republic.
The Moreno returned to this port after
1t had been announced that she would
leave Hampton Roads for Buenos Aires.
She has been tied up at the navy yard
for five days, and the sailors have been
given full liberty in the yard. The
delivery of the ship was held up here
owing to a misunderstanding between
the Argentine naval officials and the Of
fcers of the company which built her.
Final payment of Sl,S0O,OOO was made by
the South American Government, but
the ship still remains in American waters.
With the exception of the new Pennsyl-
vania, launched short time ago, the
Moreno is larger than any vessel owned
by the United States Navy.

GIRL TAKES POISON
TOAVOD MARRIAGE
Sisters of Prospective Bride
Think She Wanted to Escape
Match.

Rose Moskowitz, a pretty 1s-year-old
prospective bride, was disappointed today
when the doctors at Mt Sinai Hospital
! Informed her that she would recover from
the effects of swallowing a quantity OF
| poison in the hope of killing herself Ac-
cording to the police the young woman
went to her room at the home OF her
parents, 526 Morris street, last night and
drank the poison rather than marry
Harry Snyder of 1900 South 9th street,
although a marriage license was issued
to the couple at City Hall on Wednesday.
Through lips charred with the poison
she took the girl said she was sorry she
had not been successful in forestallng an
event IN which she had little interest.
Her sisters told the police they believed
Rose had become engaged TO Snyder out
of pique. but that when the time came to
procure the license for the ceremony she
underwent a. change of heart Unwilling
either to break her promise TO Snyder or
try to effect a reconciliation with
former admirer they are inclined to think
she decided to die.
The girls family was seated at the din
ner table last night and Rose suddenly
left the room. short time later groans
were heard IN her room. When her sister
and brother rushed to the second floor
they found the young woman writhing In
pain on the floor. Nearby lay a bottle
that had contained poison. A patrol
which was hastily summoned, brought her
to the operating table in time to Offset

Or. Leon Davis. chief resident physi-
clan. and others on the stafr of the
Howard Hospital are anxious to locate
a patient who stepped off the operating
table and disappeared after every medi-

cording to Doctor Davis, the man was
brought TO the receiving ward after he
had collapsed last Monday night in the

The doctors applied irst-aid methods
for 40 minutes without results. The
patients pulse had ceased, his limbs were
rigid and no heart action could be de-
tected by the stethoscope. Suddenly the
stranger straightened to a sitting posi-
tion, color came back into his face and
he demanded TO know where he was.
When informed that he was supposed 10

TO the mortuary, the man was Mortified
and left without waiting for his hat. The
doctors believe the man was dead, but
that artificial respiration brought him

1t isn't necessary to use water in order

with which he won many aquatic events
in the Antipodes.
Ottinger was making great speed, when
he received a resounding whack with a

Two other nurses who were stricken
with the disease are convalescing, accord
ing to Dr. C. f. Raue, chief resident ply
slclan of the hospital They are Miss
Harriet Wesley, 10 years old, and Miss
Verna Harvey, 10 years old,
Hospital officials said today 1t is i'm.
possible to get typhoid fever other than
through things that are taken into the
stomach They say the girls frequently
ate at their homes or at restaurants,
and It is thought the four went to din
ner together somewhere and ate greens
that had not been washed carefully.
So far the health officials have not
been able to trace the disease to its
source. but the investigation is still under
way. The hospital had but one previous
case of typhoid this winter. In that in
stance the patient was n baby, who died.
Doctor Raue said today he believes
there will be no more cases, as none has
