THINKS CREWS SHOULD STICK TO THEIR SHIP Harbor Master Speaks Interest ingly of Schooner Ashore on Diamond Shoals Speaking of the grounding of the big unidentified five-masted schooner upon Diamond Shoals last Sunday night and the possibility of the entire crew of that ship having been lost when they took to the small boats in the rough seas breaking on the shoal, Capt. Edgar D. Williams, harbor master, who has had years of sea experience, declared yesterday thai similar In stances of sailing vessels going ashore with all sails set had proven to him that it was far safer for the crews to remain with their shiD than it was for them to take a chance in the small boats during stormy weather. Harbor Master Williams says that, according to the story told by the of ficers of the Coast Guard cutter Semi nole, upon their return to this port Thursday after having gone to the as sistance of the big sailing vessel in distress near Cape Hatteras, he has little doubt that the crew of the schooner .was drowned. However, he says, there is a possibility of them having been picked up by some ves sel bound to Cuba or South America and that they will not be heard from until they reach the ship's destination. Ten or 12 years ago, he said, the sailing ship. Robert Stevenson, ground ed off Cape Hatteras. Without tak ing the sails down the crew attempted to put off in small, boats, but the boats capsized at the schooner's side and ex cepting one man every member of the ship's crew and several women pas sengers were drowned. The wind changed and with her sails still up the schooner was moved off the shoal and without a living person aboard the Stevenson sailed away in the At lantic until picked up by a ship. Captain Williams said that a short while after the schooner Jennie Sweeney, with all sails up, grounded on Frying Pan shoals, off Cape Fear river bar. He says that the crew took to the boats and after a battle with the seas reached Frying Pan lightship. However, with all her sails up, the Sweeney, aided only by the wind, moved off the shoals and sailed several miles before she was caught by a passing steamer. The fact that the big schooner ashore on Diamond shoals, thought to be the Carroll A. Deerlng, is yet intact, little damage having been done to her by the seas, is another example of crews leaving their vessels, probably In a -moment of excitement, and pos sibly perishing, when if they had re mained with their ship, none would have been lostand all taken off by the cutter Seminole or the Cape Hat teras Life Saving crew, says Captain Williams. NEGRO MINISTER BIGAMIST TAKEN IN PHILADELPHIA Baseball, Pro ject , Local Fund of r i , - Wilmington fans want league base ball and are going to have it this summer if the citizens of the city will rally to the movement that was for mally launched last night at the' mass meeting at the chamber of commerce. After going over the problem thor oughly, . those present at the meeting appointed a ''strong ways and means committee charged with the duty of making the necessary arrangements to raise money to construct and equip an athletic field and to finance the entrance of Wilmington in to the pro posed re-organization of the' old East ern Carolina League. . , The meeting last night, while not so largely attended, did not lack enthu siasm and a" pleasing feature was the presence of many of the older fans of the city" who strongly supported base ball when Wilmington had it and who have at all times strongly advocated the national sport for the city. An other feature of the meeting was the pretence of "Bussey and Kite," Wil mington's crack ' battery during the days of .the old Eastern Carolina League. Joe Fox, who during the same period was this city's Tstar fire base man, was also there. Committee. Named The ways and means committee is composed of W. A. French, Jr., H. M. ; Ware, John w. Bioome. v. Jb. Knight and Eugene E. Graham. They will meet at the chamber of commerce this afternoon at 5 o'clock to make their plans. The mass meeting was called to or der by James H. Cowan, secretary of the chamber of commerce. P. L. Knight was elected temporary chair man and C. G. Vanlandingham tem porary secretary. Mr Cowan in outlining the steps that had been taken, to date toward re-organizing the Eastern Carolina League and providing a baseball park here, paid a high tribute to the work that has been done along these lines during the past several months by John Bloome, Bert Kite and Chester Vanlandingham. He said. that through the efforts of these fans the cities of New Bern, Goldsboro and Kinston have given assurances that they are ready to enter the league, and that Tarboro, Greenville, N. C. and Washington, X. C. have been aroused to a point where all that is necessary to get them in i the league is to call a meeting and ask them to send representatives so that the organization may be per fected. As to the park, Secretary Cowan sa!4 that these three fans have secured an Is , 'Launched; . $10,000 Needed option on an ideally located piece of property at Seventeenth and Ann streets. He said that it -was the plan to provide not only a diamond there, but also to provide for a city athletic field where all out-door sports during the winter and summer, could" be staged. Secretary Cowan declared that assurances have been given the city by several major league teams that they would be glad to come to Wilmington and play exhibition games , in the early spring. Arrangements woul also be made to have big league teams come to Wilmington and train during the spring. . - Others Interested j John Bloome explained that the fans of the mentioned Eastern Carolina towns had assured him they were anxi ous to re-organize the old league for Clasr C ball. He also declared that there would be no doubt about getting big league teams to play here and to trair at the athletic field. He said, however, t that whatever the fans of the city' did towards getting in a league and providing the necessary park would have to be done at once if the city is to have baseball this summer. W. A. French harked back to the old days when ball was played at Hil ton and at League Park at what is now Oleander. He also told of the efforts that have been made by him self and others during the past few years to get ball for Wilmington. Mr. French said he had no doubt that this city wanted ball and that it would be strongly supported by the fans if it was secured for the city. He said that the first step to be taken should be to learn from the citizens if they wanted baseball this summer, and if they did want it, to get out immediately and provide the necessary funds to assura, it. It is estimated that $10,000 will be necessary to provide the athletic field for the city, to build and equip the diamond, to place the necessary "de posit when the league is formed, this to bo returned at the end of the sea son and to lay aside an amount that will provide for the maintenance of the team during the league season. The last would, of course, be returned through gate receipts. 1) secure tlis amount of money, it was agreed stock could be sold to the fans and business men of the city. As soon as a definite decision has been reached, the committee will ask that a league meeting be called at one of the cities which would enter the league and a representative of the citv will be sent there. TRIAL OF PIERCE IS CONTINUED BY RECORDER Absence of Material fitnesses for State Causes Postponement The trial of Bennie Pierce, a young white man of Onslow county, charged with violation of the prohibition laws in this county, was postponed yester day by Recorder George Harriss until Thursday, on account of the absence of material witnesses for the state. .

Major General James I. Metts, of this city, commander of the North Carclina Division, United Confederate Veterans, also commander of Cape Fear camp, U.. D. C, declared yester day that he is highly pleased over the proposal of the North Carolina U. D. C. to have the legislature of this state increase the pensions for dependent old soldiers and the widows of vet erans. General Metts says he is with the daughters in any effort that they make along this line, and will do all in his power to aid them. . Not only does General Metts believe that the state should double the amount given to the old soldiers and widows of soldiers annually, but he is thoroughly convinced that the state should so increase the annual approp riation for the Confederate veterans that the expenses of the veterans' in need of aid could be paid to and from the annual state reunions. General Metts declared that this is done in many other Southern states and there is no reason why North Carolina can not do the same. On Tuesday of this week a delega tion of prominent members of the North Carolina Daughters of the Con federacy appeared before the joint ap propriations committee of the general assembly and made strong pleas for the increased pensions for the old soldiers. Among those who spoke in behalf of the veterans were: Mrs. Henry A. London, of Pittsboro; Mrs. Thomas W. Bickett, of Raleigh; Mrs. Jacksie Daniels Thrash, of. Tarboro; General Julian S. Carr, of Durham; Chief Justice Waiter Clark and State Senator W. H. S. Burgwin. It was shown the appropriations comn ittee that besides South Carolina, this state gave less than any other Southern state to their old veterans. The state buoget commission has rec ommended that only $650,000 be ap propriated by the. general assembly this year, while Virginia appropriated $330,000, $1,350,000 by Alabama; $920. 000 by Tennessee; $1,598,000 by Texas and $1,750,000 by Georgia. E. E. Hunter, division freight and passenger agent for the Seaboard Air Line railway, with' headquarters in this city, said yesterday' that there has been a perceptible increase in t?te amount of freight handled by his sys tem in Eastern North Carolina during the past ten days or two weeks. This, according to Mr. Hunter, is very grati fying to the local S. A. L. officials be cause of the tremendous falling off in the shipment of freight by the Sea board and all other railroads from about December 1. , There has been a noticeable increase in the movement of grain from western points to this section of North Carolina, he said. Much of this has been solid carload shipments. There has also been quite a movement of rice from South Texas to Wilmington and other points on the Seaboard in this territory. The general situation regarding the move ment of freight via the S. A. L. in this part of North Carolina is somewhat better and it is very pleasing to the officials of the system, said Mr. Hun ter. Although the movement of fertilizer, which ordinarily at this time of the season is at its height, is at low ebb at the present time, Mr. Hunter savs that the officials of the local fertilizer plants have notified him that they are expecting this year's movement to be gin within the next few days, and that they are contemplating shipments equal to seventy-five and eighty-five per cent of last year's business. At the present time the Seaboard is mov ing out of Wilmington on an average of five carloads of fertilizer each day. In anticipation of the movement of fertilizer beginning within the next few weeks, Mr. Hunter is having ac cumulated at the Wilmington terminals of the Seaboard a larere number of j freight cars. This is being done so j that there will not be any delay due to the lack of shipping facilities when the movement does start.'
