MAID KEEPS PEARL
LODGED IN THROAT.
President Of Shore Women vot-
ers' League Disputes Own
ership Of Gem

Special Dispatch to EVenino Public Ledger
Atlantic City. May 23.--When n
maid nearly strangles on pearl con
tanned in an oyster which she samples
while preparing her employers dinner,
is the jewel her property? This ques-
ton is likely to result in long drawn
legal fight between Mrs. c. J. Ham
nell. of Ventnor, president Of the
League of Women Voters. and Lottie
Grey, a colored domestic.
Lottie tried one Of the oysters she
was opening last night and thought a
marble was caught in her throat. Her
choking brought Mrs. Hammell to the
kitchen and after several sharp raps
on Lottie's back. the obstruction was
dislodged. 1t proved to be a giant pearl
rejecting all the colors of the RAINBOW.
Lottie seized the stone and claimed
ownership. Mrs. Hanrmell maintained
that inasmuch that she had paid for the
oysters the jewel was hers. Lottie has
consulted counsel. who declared her
title was clear, and she refused to turn
over the pearl. Mrs. Hammell con
suited her attorneys and threatens tC
bring suit. From descriptions given
jewelers. declare the pearl is of great
value.

felt the occasion should be marked with
proper ceremony. The fact that three
Of their number were arrested in the
general proceedings was only regarded
rs incidental.
The first bonfire was started at
Thirty fourth and Walnut streets
When it was about to fade ont another
was started at Thirty. fourth and Lo.
Gust streets. and still another was put
IN action at Thirty fourth and Spruce
streets. The flames seemed to kindle
the enthusiasm of the students and by
way Of novelty they surrounded sev
eral trolley cars and pulled the poles OF
each off the wires so that passengers
might enjoy the contlagrations The
blaze at Thirty fourth and Spruce
streets reached such stage that q near
by engine company was called out. The
firemen soon put it out of business.
During the fire several hundred SIN
dents surrounded score of patrolmen
and did an Indian dance. The police
tried escape through the Gordon of youth

nun ON THE EGYPT
DIES FOR OTHERS
Refuses Place in lifeboat.
Seen Kneeling in Prayer
as Liner Sinks
ESTIMATE DEATHS At 102
By the Associated Press

Brest. France. May 23.-The British
vice consul here today announced that
102 Of those who were on board the
British steamship Egypt. sunk off the
island of Ushant Saturday night. are
missing. Of whom sixteen were pas
sengers and eighty six members Of the
crew. Twenty. eight Messengers were
saved. together with "0i members of
the crew.
Mrs. NJ. l.. Sbley ami Miss V. NJ
Boyer. American missionaries, are
among those missing and presumably
lost. Many of tho dead brought in by
boats were wearing life belts; they had
evidently died from exhaustion.
A nun. Sister Rhoda, whose name in
private life was Miss r. Il, McN"illc.
refused to take n place offered her in u
boat saving: GIVE II 10 another.
She was last seen kneeling in prayer on
the Egypt's deck.
The body of woman who had oeeh
drowned was found floating near tn"
spot where the Egypt sank. and was
brought in by fishing boat today. II
1t not believed TO be that Of either Of
the American women. as she wore u
gold ring with The initials 'B. NJ.
and earrings made Of Peruvian coins.

The fog was so thick off Tshant
Island at the time of the collision be-
tween the Egypt and the French
freighter Seine that the inhabitants OF
the islands in the region had been living
for three days in almost complete dark
ness. with all outdoor WORK suspended
The sudden ris" in temperature in
Northern France is given as tie reason
for the unusually heavy fog.
Accounts of the disaster given BY sur.
vivorS and the captains reports indicate
that the loss of life would have been
much smaller had not the fog been So
thick as to hamper the rescuers Sailors
on the French steamer declare they OBJ
served several struggles between sur
vivors for places of safety on pieces OF
wreckage.
The survivors accounts indicate tha
