Moreland, believed to be insane. is be-
ing held at the Mansfield police sta
tion pending a further investigation of
his case, says the Shield. He was
picked up on Miller street Tuesday ev-

pie living on that street.
Early in the evening call was re-
ceived at police headquarters stating
that a crazy man was roaming around
in the country, about three miles from
the city, and asking that the police
come out and get him. The person
reporting the case was informed that
the sheriff was the proper authority
to notify in case of this kind. A
short time afterward a complaint was
received about Moreland, who was
then on Miller street, and it was learn
ed that he had been brought in from
the country in rig and left out at
Miller street.
When taken to the station Moreland
would not state where he was from
but told the police that he is a con-
tractor and was worth several hun
dred thousand dollars.
Whenever anyone approached him
he would tell them about his contract
ing business and how much money he
was worth.

San Francisco Aground on a
ShOal Near Nantucket
Several Hours
EIGHT MEN REPORTED
TO HAVE LOSTLIVES
Many Vessels Prepared to Answer
Wireless Calls for Help, But Cruiser
Floated Without Assistance-St Stormy
Conditions at the Time.

BOSTON, May Il. - The United
States cruiser San Francisco, now serv-
ing as mine laying ship, was aground
on a shoal in Nantucket sound for
several hours early today in a gale
and heavy rain, during which it was
reported she lost whale boat CON
tanning eight members of ler crew.
She foated later without assistance
and was not greatly damaged.
Observations of the cruiser were i'm
possible because of the gale and the
fate of the eight men reported miss
ing could not be learned. Advices re-
garding the whaleboat and its crew
were uncertain. Messages stating they
were lost were received at two sta
tions, while officials of the Charles
town navy ward, wlich was in touch
with the cruiser most of the time she
was on the shoals, said they had no
word that am men were missing.
The San Francisco, which was bound
from this port to Newport, r. l., was
IN command of Commodore Reginald r.
Belknap. She ran aground early this
morning and brought up so hard on
tne shoal that her commander sent
out wireless calls for immediate as
sistanee.
The wind was blowing Il gale, he
reported. and heavy curtain of rain
shut off all observation. 1t is believed
these conditions contributed to cause
the San Francisco's difficulties.
The call of the San Francisco was
answered almost Immediately. The
battlcship New Hampshire, bound
down the coast, received the word and
sent reply she would proceed cat the
l.
