Peters] , Fla, may be a clue in the 29-year-old mystery as to the fate of the crew of the Commodore of Phila- delphia. Ths message, contained in a rusted ‘¢am, which fell apart when handled, rch 21, 1899, “Send help at once. Our ship, the Commodore, was wrecked two weeks , send help at once. Longitude 83, latitude 91. GEORGE. EVERETT.” Longitude 83 is directly off the Flor- ida coast. Latitude 91 evidently was misread, or blurred from water, for the Poles are at 90, both North and South. However, latitude 31 would place the ship off the Florida coast, and the up- per.‘loop of the figure 3 might have taken the appearance of a 9.

Classed Among Foremost —_— Struck 10 Months Ago, Chicagoan Loses Mind From Paralysis. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 8.—Charlie Adams is dead. He was getting along toward 60 years of age. He was a poor man, a fellow who had worked 1hlrd Io\‘l mod;s}"lgfil. who lived normally, sanely and happily. That is, up to last Thanksgiving. Then he was struck down by a motorist. ‘Witnesses ran to his ald as he lay there in the street. The driver of the car stopped and ran back to where Charlie lay groaning. He picked him up and started away. “He’s taking him to the hospital” said the people who had seen the acci- dent. “That was the right thing for him to do. Maybe by getting to the hospital quickly the old man can be patched up.” But it wasn’t to & hospital the motor- ist took Charlie Adams last Thanksgiv- ing day. It was to an alley, a dark, dirty alley. And he dumped Charlie out on the bricks. And he drove away, leaving him there—in the alley—with broken legs—and a fractured skull. Hours later he was found. He was taken to a hospital. It was too late to do much. He was paralyzed. Time passed. Charlle Adams lost his mind. Went crazy. Yesterday he died. Police would like to get their hands on the man who—last Thanksgiving day—ran - down Charlie Adams and dumped him in an alley—with broken legs—and fractured skull—helpless, paralyzed—and dying.

STAMFORD, Conn., September 8 (). —Rhoda Holmes Nicholls, noted artist and inventor of many implements used | Cammerano and Ventunni in Rom by water color painters, , died at her home yesterday. She was 76 years old. She was regarded as one of the fore- most painters of Venetian subjects in this country and was one of the first artists to paint colors into shadows, which gave her work as far back as 1880 the depth and brilliance of mod- ern painting. Born in Coventry, England, daughter of the uglmh vicar in Littlehampton, she attended the Bloomsbury School of | Art in London and later studied with e. She married the late Burrh H.
