1881 Cup Defender,
Mischief, Is Sunk
Amid Ceremonies
Former Champion Dies
Hard as Explosives Out
side Harbor Twice Fail.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 27.-The hulk of the
sloop-yacht Mischief, successful Ameri-
can defender Of the Americas cup in
1881, was sent I'd the bottom of the
Atlantic outside Boston Harbor yester-
day with obsequies befitting a former
champion of the seas. The sinking
was the finals of a ceremony in which
a fleet of pleasure craft participated.
The Mischief died hard. Two at
tempts by party Of Coast Guardsmen
from the cutter Mojave to sink her with
explosives were futile. Three shots from
three-inch gun aboard the Mojave
were then fired into her before she
sank as buglar of the United States
Marines sounded TAPS"
The Mischief was towed from the
Boston Navy Yard to a point about one
mile east of the Graves Light. En- route
to the scene power craft and sailboats
Joined her, forming a picturesque pro-
cession in her wake.
After her victory over the Canadian
challenger, ATLANTA, in 1881, off Sandy
Hook, the Mischief had varied career.
She had several owners and was used
for both pleasure and mercantile pur-
poses. Her last race was off Marble
head In 1906. She was purchased re-
Gently by Rear Commodore William U.

He recalled past jokes played on him
and felt the body. 1t was cold.
Some one said he'd better leave, that
he couldn't prove his innocence. A
freight train carried badly frightened
Tom through the night. At Weyburn
the train came to a stop. People
around the station laughed-it was just
another joke. Tom laughed, too-a
laugh of relief.
He caught the next freight bound for
Culpeper. Perhaps, he was tired of
Jokes anyway he accidentally
slipped beneath the wheels of the train.
Now In this community hundreds of
children, who loved his pranks and re-
call the games he plnaned for them,
and mothers who appreciated the way
he ushered their offspring across dan
gerous railroad crossing and city streets,
mourn his death. .-,u,,-..

MARYLAND NOW HAS NEW
FOREST FIRE SYSTEM
Graphing System of Map LOca-
tiOns Inaugurated by Mr.. Klein

The first move of its kind to be in
augurated in Maryland forestry su-
pervision has been announced by City
Forester c. Cyril Klein, of Frederick,
in the graphing and arranging of
plots through which the exact loca-
ItiOn of a forest fire may be found as
soon as it is detected from two or
more stations within the Catoctin and
South Mountain areas. The apparatus
has been set up in the forester's of
fee at Frederick, and is ready for use
whenever it is needed.
The city forester also acts as as
sistant district forester in charge of
fire protection in the Catoctin and
South Mountain area, which COM
prises approximately 100000 acres of
timber land extending through Fred
erick county and embracing the bor-
ders of the adjoining county of Wash
ington. He also has charge of all
city forest land, comprising about
1000 acres. Two rangers and three
towermen with some fifty forest
wardens compose the remainder of the
areas forest organization.
The new equipment in the Freder.
lex forester's office consists Of a map
of the forest area, with the three look.
out stations at Hamburg, Foxville
and Quirauk as centers. The map is
designed jointly with separate maps
at each of the three lookout towers
with reference to the area Of each
| Each lookout map is equipped with ;
protractor sheet which divides the
rim Of the chart into $50 degrees o.
parts. In all these diagrams, zero O.
true north is located as the center O
the map, coincident with the tower it
self. As fire is reported, the approx
innate location is given by the tow
err keeper, with the reading in de
grees. AS these readings are tele
phoned into the office Of the Fredericl
forester, they are plotted on his cen
trail chart of the same scale, by mean
of cord running from the center o
another protractor circle, the cente
of which is the exact location Of tn
tower. As the reports from two o
more towers are received and plotted
the intersection of the cords is taken
as very accurate location Of the fire
While this method is an innovation
in Maryland forestry supervision, i
has been very successfully used TO
some years in the national forests o
the west. Each of the fifty warden
in the Western Maryland area /
numbered and located on the maps il
use, with the aid of key which i
supplied to each tower station. Il
this way the lookout may call tn
proper warden or ranger to the seen
of fire as soon as it is sighted.

 Wa"goner kept the court and United States Attorney Charles II. Futile waiting an hour while, in the custody Of the deputy marshals who brought him east, he visited a news paper office. He arrived shortl,. after Mr. Futile had dispatched a deputy marshal with instructions to use force if necessary in bringing him into court.

 At the marshal's office he met hiy wife and son. Charles D. Waggoncr, Jr.
