CINE. had gone about eight miles
toward Fox Island when the boat
burst into flames. I was alone.
tried to put out the fire with an ex
tinguisher and then tried to smother
it with towels, but was unsuccessful.
All the time the wind was blowing
the flames toward me.
81 got boat hook and an oar and
tried to move the boat into shallow
water, but, as the fire grew worse,
I feared the gas tank would explode.
In my overcoat, I slipped over the
side with life preserver. / landed
in about five feet of water and waded
to the island, where I saw some duck
blinds.
81 called several times, thinking
somebody might be in the blinds, but
the small island was uninhabited.
About the same time Capt. Ed Payne,
caretaker at the club and Senator
Die saw the boat aflame. They
came out in their boats. AS Cap
tain Payne tried to save my boat by
towing it into shallow water, Sen
ator Die piloted his boat toward me
on shore. Captain Payne finally
gave up. He couldn't save my boat.
II waded out to Senator Dies boat
and was pulled aboard. He gave me
a change of clothing and did every
thing he could to make me comfort
able and then brought me to Girls
field. I am pretty well shaken up,
and consulted my doctor as a matter
of precaution."
Senator Die, with Honiss Tull
and r. Brice Wilmington, of Marion
Station, Somerset County, went to
Fox Island for duck shooting, Sun
day night. He was lettering on
shore when he noticed the burning
boat several miles out in the water.
Neither he nor Captain Payne knew
the boat was Mr.. Tawes' until they
came close to it.
The Tawes boat was the same
cruiser which caught fire in the sum-
mer of 1888 when it was taking for
mer Governor Emerson C. Harring-
ton and a group of State officials to
Smith Island. That fire, caused by
a short circuit, was extinguished be-
fore any major damage.

The bank shortage amounts to a
trifle over $4,000, and is, of course
safely taken care of by bondsmen.
Letters left by Mrs. Booth deny that
she was implicated in the matter and
there seems to be some intimation
that another person is involved.

"No charges have been brought a
gainst any persons. However, all in
formation revealed by the investiga-
ton will be placed in the hands Of the
proper authorities for their action.

All rubbish should be gathered
up and burned, particularly ac-

Trees
Auoid Heavy Feeding
Types in Planting

Since tree is an object of per-
manence il should be carefully
considered when used 10 improve
the appearance of a home.
Shade trees should be placed 10
provide shade from the hon after
noon sun and frame the house.
Such trees need room TO grow
and should never be planted too
close to the house.
Rapidly growing. heavy feeding
shade trees such as poplars and
willows should be avoided, as the
roots are apt 10 clog sewer and
drain lines. and they quickly ex-
tract all the nutrient from the
soil. This makes il difficult to grow
either a lawn or other planting
material near them.
A few fruit trees are always de-
sirable for their fruit and flower.

In Home Building

a definite trend on the part Of
builders to absorb vacant property
in areas of one. two and even

the desire of builders and realty
men TO coordinate their efforts in

swing in the sale of Dearborn lots.
