Shipwrecked Captain
Fled Heat and Sugar
Glad to Return to New York.
With Its Dearth of Sweets
and Fuel

After playing Robinson Clusoe with
the Swiss Family Robinson and seven
Fridays on a desoate beach along the
south coast of the Isle OF Pines for
ten days Captain George Fleming of
the three -masted American schooner
Bessie Whiting. came back to civiliza-
ton Yesterday on the Ward liner
MORO Castle.
1t wasn't cheerful experience, he
said, but he thought it was a lot better
than hanging around New York with
out coal, for he and his family and his
crew Of seven Portuguese sailormen
were warm at least and had all the
sugar they wanted.
I'VE piled up hard and fast on Jan
uary H. said the skipper "The
weather was calm for two days and we
stayed aboard hoping some Steamship
would come along and nelp us off, but
concluded that nothing would come
along perhaps for weeks.
Bad weather set in and we All wen
ashore in dory. We took alonp
enough food to last US few weeks
and by the time the storm had blowr
itself out the schooner broke in two
| guess We would have been there vet if
schooner had not observed our sig.
mails and come in close enough for US
to go out to her in our dory."

1t was for her that all this formid

Dick Mckcnna. in command Of the
Fourth Branch Detective Bureau and
directing the search. tried to keep him

Nevertheless his men and those

BALTIM ORE, Jan. 30.-Former Attor-

had spent enough money to satisfy the
most captious, "but," he added, Gin

American is content with our achieve

"If the subject were of less mo-
mentous and less tragic import two
features of the worldwide war might
we'll seem ludicrous," Mr.. Bonaparte
said. "The first is the persistent and
oft-rcpeated demand that We and our
allies should state our war aims and
then restate them, and then state them
again. and then state them with more
particularly, and then state them in
the form of terms Of peace.

Senator Hughes,
Of New Jersey,
Dies in Trenton

TRENTON, n. j., Jan. 3O.-united
States Senator William Hughes. Of Pat
crson, y. j., died here this morning.
Senator Hughes had been i'll for sew
cral weeks. suffering first from septic
poisoning resulting from an affection
of the teeth and followed later by
bronchial pneumonia
The death of Senator Hughes re-
moves one of the most popular men in
American politics. He will be mourncd
by thousands who knew him only bv
name. This message came to Mrs.
Hughes this afternoon from President
Wilson:
Wilson Wires sympathy
"My heart goes ont to you in
warmest and sincerest sympathy. In
the death Of your husband have lost
Il friend for whom had the deepest
affection and very genuine admira-
tion"
With the Presidents telegram of
coincidence came messages from Sen
ators, Congressman, politicians-b -botl
Democrats and epublicans-and hun
dreds OF private individuals. Mrs
Hughes. who has been here with he,
husband since his removal to the hos.
pital. bore up wonderfully we'll unde,
the strain.
Senator Hughes was the senior Sen
ator from New Jersey, having been
elected in 1912. He was a Democrat
and was active in party councils for
almost quarter OF century.
Senator Hughes was born in ireland
IN 1872 and when elected to the Senate
was one of the youngest men ever
chosen to take a seat in that body. HI
came to this country with his parents
when a young boy. He lived in Pater.
son for more than thirty years.
His progress carried him all the wa,
from real boy in silk mill to the
United States Senate. He was Tho
former at ten years of age and the
latter at forty. IN between he has
round time to acquire more than al
average education and to carve ar
enviable niche for himself in the his
tory of his country.
Enlisted for War
Just before the Spanish American
War, Senator Hughes entered a law
office as an apprentice The opening
Of the war and President McKinley't
call for volunteers caused him to la,
aside his law books and enlist in the
I'd New Jersey Volunteers. with which
organization he served until the end OF
the war.
Senator Hughes leaves a widow and
TWO daughters, sixteen and eight years
OLD. His wife was Margaret Hughes
OF bethlehem, Penn. They We're mar
ried in 1898.

Trenton. ~ j., Jan. 30.All the mem
bcrs Of the New Jersey Legislature who
arc lawyers and some Of the best law
yers of New jersey who are not men,
bcrs Of the Legislature spent many
hours tonight examining New Jersey
statutes and the Constitution of the
United States in an attempt to deter
mine definitely just what are the pow
crs and duties Of Governor Walter E.
Edge in the situation created by the
death Of Senator Hughes.
1t is upon the decision that Will be
reached by those upon whom Governor
Edge has called for aid that will rest
the action Of the Executive.
l.. S. and State Laws Conflict
There is a conflict between state
statutes and the Constitution as TO
what the powers of the Governor really
arc. The Federal Constitution provides
that the Executive may either appoint
to fiji thc unexprcd term or call spe-
cial election. The definite power to
appoint is given in an act passed by the
Legislature in 1914, but in 1915 an ad-
dtional act was passed which seems TO
leave the impression that the Governor
can appoint only until the election is
l.old.
Governor Edge has not yet deter
mined whether he wants to go to the
United States Senate If he can name
the successor to Senator Hughes only
to the next general election day and he
decided 10 be candidate for Senator,
he would have to resign as Governor
nearly year and a half before the cH-
piration of his term. II. on the other
hand. he can name a successor for the
full ad interim term. he can run for
United States Senator. and if success

Dual Authority Clashed


Under the Woods administration. IN
rate stats and in many cases. most
notably during the ripper murders on
the East Side two years ago. there was
an obviou, conflict Of authority.
Inspector Faurot. under Yesterdays
order, is relieved Of the supervision Of
the bureau. He will devote himself to
the work of the Criminal Identification
Bureau, the handling of which has
earned him an international reputation,
and other detective cases requiring a
technical training. He will also look
after the clerical work Of the bureau.
Inspector Cray has an experience of
twenty-five years as a detective, during
which he handled many of the city's
most important cases. He is Of the
type that makes a painstaking investi-
cation and is slow to make arrests, but
he has never been known to lose q big
case after charging a man with a
crime.
Despite the fact that Inspector Cray's
brother, Captain Patrick j. Cray, of
the East Eighty eighth Street station,
is brother-inlaw Of Charles f. Muir
ply, leader of Tammany Hall, the po-
lice believe that there is no politics in
the inspectors promotion.
Three Captains Transferred
Commissioner Enright yesterday also
shifted three police captains-C Captain
John Barnes, from the Fifth Avenue
station, Brooklyn, to the Richmond Hill
citation; Captain Frank J. Conboy. from
the Richmond Hill station to the Haml-
ten Avenue station, Brooklyn, and Cap
tain William Kenny, from the Hamilton
Avenue station to the Fifth Avenue sta
tion, Brooklyn. The Commissioner said
he made the shifts SO that the captains
could be in precincts near their homes
Captain Conboy, who has been in
command OF the Hamilton Avenue sta
ton for several years, was transferred
from there during :he last city cam
palgn after Mayor Mitchell had been
heckled in hall in that precinct. The
Mayor complained to Commissioner
Woods that the police had made no
