The challenge was not accepted and Nell continued to argue until Diamond street was reached. There he dlstuvered that he waa a square be yond where he wanted to go. "Back this car up," he shouted to the motorman, "I want to get off " Of coursu the motorman, Edward Callahan, did not comply Mahoney started for him.

LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SBPTEMBEB A MAN TRYING TO YACHT RACE THAT NEVER ENDED, FULL OF THRILLS AND THRILLERS Fogs and Angry Seas, Passing Ships and Breakers, Fur nished All the Joy and Uneasiness Possible in the Bridesburg to Ocean City Run It will bo many a day beforo the mem bers of the crews of the seven power yachts which finished tho 131-nnutlcaI mile race Saturday from Hrldcsburg to Ocean City, under the sanction of the American Poworboat Association, forget the run down tho Delaware and up tho Atlantic coast. A persual of the logs of tho various vessels will eho'v that thero were somo very exciting moments nboard. Between tho dvnso fog and mountnlnous seas thero was no time for anything save eternal vigilance. Tho vessels pnt llnrlnr wnv frntn Ttrlrlrtn. burg on Friday with Ideal conditions pre- vnmng. THe Naomi, owned by Captain McNamee and handled by CommodorA Charles Walber, of the Rlvorsldo Yacht Club, the winner ot Ocean City, and tho Hattle Ilert, Captain (Doctor) Street at tho holm, were tho first to start, Their run down to the sea wns a pleasure Jaunt. They missed tho denso fog which onveloped the Delaware Day section later, but had other exciting reports to make before they had finished their run up tho coast. Tho Naomi wallowed In the Heavy Beau for flvo minutes while a brokon spark plug was repaired. The Hattlo Sort members had lots to keep them bUBy, for the Atlantic was not In Its best mood, In fact, the weath er at sea was heavier than It lias been all summer. The surf was for moro dan gerous than It has been for ears, nnd attempts to run the gauntlet to the smooth harbors at the coast Inlets was hazardous. Tho Hattle Ilert landed the second prize. Eugenia, Doctor Swayne, was third; Dora II, Captain Bruno Alr Ishoff, wns fourth; Isabella III, Captain Hayes, fifth; Eva Dor, Captain Wcn zinger, sixth, and the Darby Ram, Cap tain Yarnall, seventh. Doctor Swayne on the Eugenia had an hour's run In the fog, and there were many anxious momenta before clear weather wns encountered. The Eugenia passed Overfalls LlghtBhlp at. 5:26 a. m. Friday morning, and her skipper chose a course far to sea that netted big Je suits, as he made fast, tlmo up tho coast to the finish at Ocean City, nosing out Jho DOra II by four minutes. At Over falls the Dora II was headed up the coast on a near-shore course and a strong ebb tide played havoc with her speed. Thero was an Interesting raco for third honors between the Eugenia and Dora II, and for 20 miles the vessels raced along In sight of each other, t'p to within Ave miles of the finish It was anybody's victory. Here the Eu genia was headed Inshore, and soon the vessels were abeam. Eugenia forged ahead In the last three miles. This bat tle for theso places was aa exciting as the struggle for the first honors. Dora ll'a log furnished much Interest ing information. The Dora II ran Into the fog at Ship John and ho dense was tho fall that those aboard could not ce a boat's length ahead. When running on dead reckoning for 15 minutes fog signals on port and starboard wero heard. Sud denly two hugo hulks appeared, and at the same Instant the three skippers lo cate their marks. Foghorn and bell sig nals were excitedly made and there was little time to devlato from any course.

Morrow, who Was shot by her husband before he turned his pistol on himself, and that of Morrow Is described as desperate by the hospital surgeons this morning-. With a, bullet wound through his head Morrow's condition Is worse than that of his wife, who was shot twice. It Is believed, how ever, both will die. Before lapsing into unconsciousness last night Mrs. Morrow moaned; "Oh, save me, I do not want to die" That both husband and wlfa did not die Instantly Is regarded as extraordinary, as ono bullet plowed through Mrs, Morrow's face and the other through her neck, coming oUt above the heart. Morrow, It is said, would ba unable to talk, were he to recover, as part of his mouth was shot away. The Morrows lived in a fashionable home section, bavin as neighbors per sons included among the leading residents bC Allentevwn.

It was the most exciting moment for tho Dora IPs crew, save on the run down from tho finish lino after the raco when the boat was taken through the surf at Angleseo Inlet. The Isabella III Is a new boat In the ranks hnd her captain, Hays, deserves credit for his nerve nnd daring. This boat finished fifth, Just 18 minutes after tho Dora II. Sho encountered tho fog, but did not have to reckon with passing vessels An amusing Incident Impressed ltBelf on the members of tho crew. A'hen tho heavy wenther settled down on Delawnro Ray and made compass work necessary tho card was found flying around at an alarming rate. Six hundred revolutions per minutes was the cstimato Upon in vestigation It was found that the flywheel of the engine was affecting the compasB and It had to be boxed away from tho ottractlvo metal before the vessel could be satisfactorily navigated. Eva Dor did not report any unusual Incidents of the trip, nor did the Darby Horn have any remarkablo records to make. Tho race was not officially timed at tho finish, as the Ocean City Yacht Club officials though experienced surfmon would not venture through the riafrpw channel of tho Inlet. B"aB Is to-20 feet high wero breaking oVcr- th'e Inlet bar with a roar to bo heard miles at sea. The Nnomt and Hattlo Bert raced to tho Mulsh line almost together, and they acted In nn official capacity, recording the times of the various vessels as they hovo In sight and crossed tho Imaginary line at the bell buoy off Ocean City. Ofllclally the raco will never end. When all the boats' had reached the finish they circled around the bell buoy for a few minutes like bees about to swarm. Then tho skippers, aftor ex changing yarns about interesting things on tho trip, decided it was far too dan gerous to attempt to run through the Ocean City Inlet. Tho run down the Atlantic In tho hope of reaching quiet wnters was then undertaken. Twenty miles from Ocean City the offi cers ot the Isabella III and IDra II de cided to chanco o run through tho surf at Anglesca Inlet. Isabella III led tho way, and the two made the quiet waters after five of the most exciting minutes of tho crews' lives. As the giant waves caught up tho vessols they were tossed ahead at' express-train speed. Dora II was caught by a quick stern follow sen and was tossed over on her starboard aide. The crew ex pected a ducking before the helmsman could ease her. Only expert work at the wheel saved the vessel. The five other craft continued on down the const, and put In through Cold Spring Inlet Darby Rom, Eugenia and the Naomi wero tied up at Holly Beach. Eva Dora ran aground on the Inside course. The Isabella III mado the Insldo run from Anglesa to Ocean City, while the Dora II was tied up at Anglesea nler. The Mildred D, with Cantaln Davis at the wheel, decided not to take any chances outsldo when Delaware Bay was found rough. The party had the time of their lives fishing, The Caprice, the scratch boat owned by Commodore Johnson, of the Falrmount Yacht Club, blew out a cylinder head and had to return to the starting point.

His SUFFRAGIST REBUKES U.S. SENATOR MARTINE Declares He Has Used Frank ing Privilege to Spread Literature of Antis SPRING LAKE BEACH, Sept. 7. United States Senator James Martlne, of New Jersey, was given a stinging rcblko here today by Mrs. Mlna Van Winkle, president of the Women's Political Union of New Jersey, who attacked tho Senator for sending out at public expense, under his postal franking privilege, literature 01 the antl-surfraglsts and for fnlllng to keep alleged promises made to the suf fragists to mall to his New Jersey con stituents addrcjscn delivered on the floors of Congress and which "legally" could be distributed under hla postal frank.
