That tho 30,000 members would throw
their strength to Director Goorgo D. Por

port ever since the organization camo
Into existence. This was emphatically
denied.
Tho II. C. Stone Men's Club Is not
exactly a new organization, Tho head
quarters of the organization Is now at 2216
Spruco street, which Is next door to tbe
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church Memorial
Chapel. The Ilcv. II. C. Stone, assistant

as outlined today, are:
1. To assist in the moral uplift of
tho community.
1 To Increase the membership of
Protestant churches.
3. To encourage young men to be
come Interested In. charity.
To become a full-lledged member, ac

50,000 members so far have received only
two degrees. The third will be adminis

Kmphatlo denials were made today that
a fund of (2.000.000 has been contributed
by a New Yorker for tho campaign of

the Canstatter Volkstest yesterday, and
Imbibed rather freely in the favorite Ger

as a boomerang against Garmany and
divers other nations, corporations and In

trolley car between Lehigh avenue and
Diamond street. Throwing a fl bill on
the floor, lie dolled anyone to put him off,
snslng that the bill belonged to the per
son who could do It. 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. Then the conductor, Michael Iloth
(tine, took a hand In the fracas.
At this point rollcemsn Harford, called
by an excited passenger, entered the car.
"I defy the Rapid Transit Company,'
shouted Mahoney, "and I defy the police."
"Cut this out," sternly commander Dar

'I'm Nell Hahonsy, of the J7th Ward,"

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.

ALLENTOWN COUPLE
DYING FROM WOUNDS
Detectives Seek Motive That
Led Man to Shoot Wife
and Himself
ALLENTOWN, Pa,, Sept. 7The con
dltlon ot Mrs. Milton W. 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. Society women, who talked
last r,lht in the Hush ot the first ex
oltement, are silent this morning.

SLEEP AFTER DAYBREAK
passed tho llttlo Dora II not more than
20 feet clearance was noticed. 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.

STORM-TOSSED SHIP DOCKS
Battered for Four Days by Atlantic
Galea Food Soaked by Salt Water.
Bound for Genoa
Splintered decks and torn rigging told a
story of the raging ocean today when
the Italian tramp steamer Alba, a hurri
cane victim, crawled up the river and
docked at Kalghn's Point.
Tho Bailors, exhausted by their four
days' battle with the tempeBt, which
damaged their food supply, made all
haBte to get ashore for the meal which
they sorely needed. Not only had tho
waves soaked their bread with salt, but
also damaged th water tanks.
It wan on last Krlday, September 3, an
unlucky day for mariners, that tho storm
came up. The ship, 18 days out from
Pensacola, Fla,, wbb In latitude SS, longl

Captain G. B, Valle at first tried to face
the gale head on, but the high seas,
whloh smashed the decks, prevented that
move. The vessel was driven before the
wind. For four days she was buffeted
toy the shifting storm. Fearing that she
mlBht spring a leak and unable to fight
against starvation, Captain Valle decided
to put Into port.
The ship, loaded with turpentine, rosin

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.
Mrs. Van Winkle said tho women of
New Jersey had found that Senator Mar
tine was not a man of his word, and this,
she declared, was leading a large num
ber of them to lay plans for aggressive
opposition to his renomlnatlon. Letters
to the Senator, reminding him of his
promises to send out pro-suffrage, as well
tie the literature of tho nntls, have been
unanswered,
Tho address, which Is being distributed
under tho Senator's postal frank, was
never delivered on the floors of Congress,
Mrs, Van Winklo declared, but was writ
ten by an antl-suffraglst of New York
Stnte, and has no right going through the
malls under a frank.

Six Buildings Lost When Blaze
Sweops Farm
Six buildings filled with crops, valued In
all at $12,000, were destroyed In a fire
that swept the farm of II. Milton Duffield,
one mile north of Glcnslde, last night, and
for a time endangered his homo. Nine
suburban fire companies fought the
flames, assisted by several hundred men
who hurried to the scene in automobiles.
A tramp Is thought to have started the
fire, 'When the blaze was discovered It
was raging fiercely insldo a largo barn.
Mr. Duflleld, helped by neighbors, rescued
40 homes and cows, but was unable to get
out any of the rolling stock.
Beforo any of tho Jlre companies ar
rived the flames spread to an adjoining
barn, and from thero to four other build
ings, two ot which were filled with corn
and two with hay. Flames from theso
structures shot high Into the air, lighting
up the countryside for miles.
