FIREMAN CALLED IN DRAFT
Oscar Nygren of Central Station is
Going to Camp-Taken On Fifth
Call-Deputy Dog Warden Going.

Oscar Nygren, who has been on ac-
tive duty at the Central fire station
for the past four months and a men,
partment since last November has
been drafted for service in the national
army. Fireman Nygren was taken OH
his fifth appearance before army sur
geons. He volunteered for service in
the army and failing he tried the
navy. Two examiners for draft ser
vice rejected him. Nygren will leave
with the next contingent the latter
part of this month.
John Coffey, Jr., is in the next con-
tingent leaving town. He served at
the Mexican border and was rejected
on his return on account of fiat feet.
He tried to enlist with the militia
companies and in the regular army
several different times. He also tried
for the navy, only to be rejected.
Examining surgeons for the draft also
rejected him. Coffey, who is deputy
dog warden, hailed with delight the
receipt of the news that he was
called for service. 'Ill show them
something now, he said.
Probation Officer e. c. Connolly
has a young man on his list who is
anxious to get into the army. He has
urged the officer to use his influence
to get him into the army. He asked
that a cousins birth certificate be
secured and given to him. The cousin
is old enough to enlist but is not going
just now. The Would-be soldier is
too young to get into the army.

CHEROKEE UNFIT;
COMMANDER ERRED
Lost Tug UnseaWorthy;; Proper
Precautions Not Observed

Washington, May S-Secretary
Daniels late yesterday submitted to
the house naval committee and made
public the reports of the board of in
vestigation and the later Court of In
quiry which were appointed to deter
mine the responsibility for the foun-
dering in q gale off Cape Henlopen
on Feb. %, 1918, of the naval tug
Cherokee, with a loss of lives, includ-
ing that of Lieutenant E. D. Newell,
the commanding officer. Both the
board of Investigation and the Court
of Inquiry found that the loss of the
tug was caused by the fact that the
vessel was not in the most seaWorthy
condition and by errors of judgme nt,
if not inferior seamans1ip, in han
ding the vessel.
The Cherokee was form erly the Ed
gar F. Luckebach, and was taken over
by the government in the fall Of 1911
from the Luckenbach Steamship Co.
The opinion Of the Court of Inquiry
follows:
She was q small vessel, twenty
seven years old, in a poor state of re-
pairs, overloaded, and in bad trim.
Upon meeting rough weather she
took seas over the bows and quan-
titles Of water went below through
leaks in decks, doors and bunker
plates. This water gradually accu-
mulated forward until it forced her
down by the head.
considering the condition of the
vessel, the commanding officer failed
to take proper precautions for her
safety when he received notice of an
approaching storm.
I'm view of the evidence the court
is of the opinion that the death of
any individual due to the foundering
of the Cherokee was occasioned by
an act of duty in which he was en-
gagged, when it occurred, and was
not the result of his own miscon-
duct.
I'm the opinion of the court a
measure of responsibility rests upon
the commanding officer of the Che
rokee in that he failed before sailing
from Philadelphia to report to the
proper authorities that. in his opin-
ion, the ship was overloaded, and q
further responsibility in that he did
not turn back or take action to cor
rect her trim when duly informed
from an authentic source of the ap-
preaching bad weather. This respon-
sibility appears to be greatly miti-
gated in view of his youth, lack Of
familiarity with navy methods, and
an undoubted desire to obey his in
structions as soon as possible.
THE history of the Cherokee from
the date of her acceptance by the
government, indicates that she was
not suitable for general service at
sea because of her size. age and
condition. She was in need of very
extensive repairs. The failure to
make all of the major repairs seems
justified by the press of more impor-
tant work at the navy yard and the
urgent need of the services of the
boat. and for these reasons no blame
attaches to any one for such failure.
I'm view of the conditions de-
scrbed above, it is recommended
that no further proceeding be taken
in the NATTER

WATER HEATER WEEK.
A. A. Mills Demonstrating Ruud Sys-
tenn at West Main st. Store

This is Water Heater Week in this
city and a great display of Ruud Wa
ter heaters is being shown at A. A.
Mills store, 80 West Main street. The
convenience of being able to get hot
water at any hour of the day or night
is amply demonstrated during the
week now in progress. Hot water
service as furnished by the Ruud is
possible for your home-you can buy
water exactly as you buy gas-eco-
nomically without trouble or thought.
The Rudd inaugurates a system,
which, while it is not entirely new. is
unique. BY simply turning any hot
water faucet in the house you can
have hot water at any time.
For one week, to introduce this
wonderful convenience, A. A, Mills
will install a limited number of these
heaters at a reasonable price. Be
sure and call at the store this week
and be convinced that you cannot af-
ford to be without a Ruud water
heater in your home.-advt.
