SEMINOLE SANK SCHOONER DUNN WITH A- MINE Lumber Schooner T. W. Dunn, of New York Encountered Off Cape Hatteras. RESPONDED TO DISTRESS CALL The Coast Guard Cutter Left Wilmington a Week Ago to Aid Clyde Line Steamer Aropohoe-in Distress. The coast guard cutter Seminole returned to Wilmington this morning shortly before noon after having com pleted a quite eventful voyage from here to Hampton ROads, Va., and re uini. - The Seminole on the return trip met with heavy-northeast winds and rain on practically the entire voyage, the weather not clearing until this morning while coming into port. On the return trip theSemnole fell in with derelict lumBer laden schoon er, the T. V. Dunn, of New York, which was waterlogged, 20 miles southwest? of Cape Hatteras Light Ship. A hawser was passed by the Semin ole and the tow to Lookout Bight was started, part of the cutter's crew manning the lumber schooner. About 2 p. m. -55" the afternoon of October 24, the schooner broke - in half, the Seminole's crew that was aboard having prior to this returned to the cutter. The stern sank in 25 fathoms of water, but part of the main deck load ed with lumber remained afloat. This happened yesterday and the Seminole's crew proceeded to destroy the main deck with the aid of a gun cotton mine, the entire part of the phip that remained afloat being blown to atoms. The Seminole left Wilmington on t'n- ISth of this month in response to a call issued by the Charleston Navy Yard, reporting that the Clyde Line steamer Arapahoe was in distress 20 miles northeast of Cape Lookout Light Ship. The cutter Jeft porj; at once and on the morning of the 20th hove in sight of the distressed vessel. Captain Uberroth was requested by the commander of the Arapahoe to stand by, which course he was already pusuing. The Mallory Line steamer was in the vicinity standing by as was the Coast Guard Cutter Tampa, from Charleston. The weather was severe all that day and no action was taken by any of the ships. The Comal was bound for New York and expressed a willingness to tow the Arapahoa if the Seminole would take hold astern and guide the ves sel, as she had lost her rudder. This was done and the tow up the coast started. - After 18 miles had been traversed in this manner the towing bits of the Comal gaveT way and the cutter Tampa was called. The tow then continued, the Tampa taking the place of the Comal. The vessel arrived at Hampton Roads, Va., on Sunday night at 7 o'clock, where the 83 passengers aboard were sent to their destinations by rail. The Arapatoe went into dry docks at Newport News to have her rudder repaired "and undergo a gen eral overhauling. THE WILMINGTON DISPATCH; FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 27, 1916. PACE FIVR ARE INDIGNANT LOCATION Residents of Orange Street Re sent Nearness of Infantile Paralysis Victim. Much indignation is 'being man ifested by people living on Orange street and in the 'immediate vic inity of .the house, of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Dewey is under quaran tine with a mild case of infantile par alysis. A lot Of thft npnnlp Hirino- near the residence, No. 208 Orange street, that is being, occupied by Mrs. Dewey and her afflicted baby girl can't understand why that particular house was selected as the habitation of the mother and child during the latter's illness and when spoken to about. the matter this morning Dr. Charles T. Nesbitt, county health of ficer, Stated that the baby and her mother had to be placed in a home and that no greater number of people were inconvenienced by the leasing of the Orange street residence than would have been had a house been taken in any other residential section of the cityr He added that there was absolutely no danger of infection, as the baby is almost fully recovered, having passed the contagion stage long ago if sucTi ,a stage really ex ists. Dr. Nesbitt stated that the baby and its mother were moved from Mrs. Kelly's boarding house, Fourth street, because a number of people were liv ing there, and had the Kelly house beeij quarantined all these people would have been put to considerable inconvenience. Because none of the people living at the Kelly house had come in contact with the child it was practicable to. remove it to other quarters. Following the child's evacu ation of the house it was thoroughly fumigated and the health authorities are not anticipating any spread of the disease. Dr. Nesbitt stated this morning that he understood a num- ber of people resented the quaran tining of the child in their midst, but added that it was the only thing to be done under the circumstances. The residence, No. 208 Orange street, was for rent, and was leased by Mr. Dewey because his baby and wife had to have a place to stay. Mrs. Dewey and child, accompan ied by husband and father, returned to the city yesterday morning from Chapel Hill and went to Mrs. Kelly's boarding house on North Fourth street, where they had rooms. As the child appeared1 to have grown worse Dr. J. W. Hooper was later called in. As there appeared to be symptoms of infantile paralysis. Dr. Hooper called in Drs. Wood and Sidbury and the three of them pronounced it infan tile paralysis, but added that in their opinion it was of a very mild nature and had passed Ueyond the stage of contagion. The case was immediate ly reported to the Health Department in accordance with the regulations. RECORDER'S COURT. Lucy Goodall Drew Four Months for Larceny of Money. I-ucy Goodall, colored, drew four months on- the county , farm in the Recorder's court today after being convicted of having stolen $11 from Mrs. P. T. Dixie, on October 13. Viola Southerland and Mattie Merritt, col ored, were charged with receiving thp cash. According to Lucy Good fll's statement Mattie Southerland forcibly took the cash from her after she had admitted it was stolen mon ey. Viola Southerland therefore was convicted of having " received stolen goods and was sentenced to. two months on the county farm. No di rect evidence pointed to Mattie Mer ritt and she was adjudged not guilty. R. G. Gray, white, charged with vio lating the driving ordinance, was fin ed $2.50. Alonzo Davis, colored, charged with an assault with a deadly Wf,apon, had judgment suspended on Payment of costs, as did Tom McMil-lan- colored, who was charged with disorderly conduct. Hiarlie Brown, a 13-year-old negro, was up for the alleged riding of a '''cycle on the sidewalk. His case was dismissed, owing to the extreme youth of the defendant, and the fact that the violation occurred in a sparsely settled port of the city. - CONVENES TOMORROW. Baptists are looking forward with ni"ch pleasure to the convening of Baptist Union Meeting at the 'ngbAsboro Baptist church tompr 'ow morning at 10 o'clock, and indi cations are that the attendance will unusually heavy during the two session of the convention. Elab ate plans have been perfected to msure the success of the meeting an-d all connected with the event are confident that the efforts put for ward will meet with more than ordi nary success. PEANUT SHORTAGE f EARED BY MANY SPARKLING OPERA ESTI COM MORROW Big Musical Treat For Theatre goers of Wilmington and Section. The advance sale of tickets, for "The. Lilac Domino," which comes to the Academy of Music tomorrow, matinee and night, continues very heavy and it is certain that the pro duction will be witnessed by 'two large audiences. And the theater goers are assured by Manager Geo. W. Bailey, of the Academy, that this i one of the really big theatrical at tractions. The production was seen in Char lotte on Saturday night, October 7, and The Observer had the following criticism of it: "The three-act comic opera, with music, entitled, 'The Lilac Domino, by Charles Cuvillier, which was pro duced at the Academy of Music, Sat urday, matinee and night, before two large audiences, proved to be one of the most acceptable offerings of the year, the lines being bright and sparkling, the music catchy and tune ful, the action brisk and inspiring and the ensemble effect decidedly wholesome. The cast' was well se lected and trained, and the piece moved (off in bright and snappy style, a factor so essential in the success ful production of any comic opera. It was a typical Andreas Dippel sftqw, which, to those who know, is saying enough. "Charlotte's interest was augment ed by reason of the presence of Miss Marie Hamilton, who took the im portant part ofLeonie O'Andorcet,' and proved to be one of the real stars of the piece. Gifted with charm and personality and more than ordinary grace and style, she commanded at tention so long as she was on the stage. She shared with Yvonne Darle, the stellar honors. Bradford Kirkbride as 'Count Andrea de St. Amand,' was splendidly aided and abetted by the two comedians, Joseph Carey and Edward Crawford, as Prosper' and 'Casimir,' respectively, his friends. The dancing was splen did, the-f- achievement of Louis L. Fitcher as 'Pierrot' in this respect be ing great.. 1 "The' voices in the cast were or Defective Flues Must be Rem edied or Buildings Will be Condemned. The annual inspection of the houses in the fire districts is now being made by the Wilmington Fire Department and this year the members of the in spection committee will make a much more' thorough inspection than has been done heretofore. The inspection is being made ac cording to the State law, but the Wil mington forces are going even further than is required by the statutes and' will compel everyone who has a defec tive flue, or any other fire menace, to repair same at once or else the build ing in which the fire menace is situ ated will at once be condemned. According to local inspectors the inspection will be finished in about another week, a greater length of time being taken this year because of the more thoroughness of the inspection. Piles of trash that have accumulat ed in different buildings in parts that are used for no regular work must be moved and any matter that could in any possible way .cause spontaneous combustion must be so arranged that all danger from fires originating there will be done away with. About eight members of the local fire department are his year engaged in the inspection work and they are going from house to house as they come to them in order to insure that no place will be missed by the rigid Lingpection that is being given all premises thi". year. TOMORROW IS LAST DAY Voters Are Asked to See That Names Are on Books. Tomorrow is absolutely the last day on which one can register for the coming election and there is no Wholesale Peanut Dealers Be ing Asked For Quotations by Outof-Town Concerns Whether the peanut crop this year will be smaller in this section than usual is still a matter of conjecture,' but the wholesale men of the city are daily receiving inquiries from north ern buyers for? quotations that would indiate that the crop in some sections is especially short. Local farmers state that in the whole the crop in these parts is a9 large and as good as usual, but it is thought that further south in Geor gia, Alabama and Florida that the es tablishment of packing houses is tak ing a goodly supply of peanuts off the markets as the farmers in those sections are using them to fatten their porkers before selling to the newly established packing houses. Last year northern Florida and Georgia shipped quantities of peanuts to Petersburg; but this year, indica tions are that the major portion of the crop will be used at home. It is believed that this section will have its usual amount of peanuts on the market, but as threshing has as yet hardly begun the local farmers are unable to state positively whether the crop will be good or not. In Southern Alabama, on account of the boll weevils' depredations made there last year on the cotton crop, 'arge quantities of peanuts were plant ed, but these, according to local buy ers, it is thought, will be fed to stock instead of being shipped. While at this time of year it is no unusual thing for wholesaje men to be asked for quotations-., on peanuts, the large number of inquiries and the fact that the North Carolina Spanish peanut is considered ''the best seed peanut points to the fact that the Tar. Heel nut this year will bring excep tionally fancy prices.
