SAILOR DIES I FROM SCALDS ' OVERTURNED CRANE IMPRISONS NAVAL AIR MAN IN U>COMOTIVE CAB — ESCAPING STEAM CAUSES DEATH. Joseph A. Callahan, Machinist's ! Mate, first class, (aviation) assigned 1 to duty at the U. S. Naval Air Station, Cape May, N. J., died at the ' Wildwood Hospital, Wild wood, N. J., at 11:30 p. m.^ June 30, 1921, from serious injuries as a result of an ac1 cident in the overturning of a loco- ' motive crane on the afternoon of that ' date. ' Callahan, together with Thomas Tully, acting as fireman, was operat0 ing the crane at the time of the acciB dent in the unloading of sand at the " u. S. Naval Air Station, on a siding e to the Coal and Oil Pier, when the '• crane left the trades in the swinging e of the clam-shell bucket. The over-, n turning of the crane made Callahan

prisoner in the cab of the lpcomo- ' tive amid fire and steam- The connections in the boiler were^ severed' from the impact when the crane land ; ed on the side of the track and the ' ' escaping steam scalded the injured 1 man. Tuljy, the fireman, was thrown some twenty feet after a strong ef fort to rescue Callahan in the face of ■ death. ' . The Commanding Officer of the Station was a witness to the accident! and the loud noises of escaping 'steam attracted the attention of the per9 sonnel attached to the Station, who 1 hurriedly proceeded to the scene of f the accident. Charles Sheppard, Q. i- M.3c (D) climbed on top of the debr lis and after a hazardous task drag - l| gcd the injured man from his chamber of deafh. -The commanding of- , :, ficer immediately directed the dfes- - •' patch of the hospital corps to care , for the scalded body, and a hurried ! rail was sent to town for a physician. After arrival of the latter, recommendation was made to remove Calf lahan to the hospital in an effort to " save his- life. Callahan died at the t. hospital sevdval hours later, after ber- ing attended by the Reverend James J. Moroney and receiving the last '" rites' of the Catholic Church.' 'J The death of Callahnn is much lamented by . his shipmates at the Navtf- :il Air Station. They wish to offer s- their condolences to Mrs. Callahan e'! nfd her two children who are left to 1- ! battle, the world alone. ■ , »- M

POP. GOES THE WEASEL! 1 The home of I.eon F.wing in West 1 Cape May has been the scene of many , a sleepless night for the past -several weeks. "Buck" as he is familiarly -■known to His' many friends, started . the chicken" business- this spring a more, pr less expensive scale. ' up udtil the present time it is not just how many of the feath- , ered birds have withstood the ram- , pages of rats, weasels, cats, etc. At •„ the start it was found that rats were doing the work of killing his prize' chicks and he says they were blooded stock, too. Then R was discovered! that a big black cat was the marudNow it has simmered down to a , pair of weasels who have been fatten- 1 ing up for '.he coming winter on his pet stock. One evening this week he 1 received a hurried telephone call from - his home that a weasel was seen. He j immediately set out for West Cape] May. When he arrived oh the scene | the animal had already been killed by j neighbor. "Buck" says he can aim , straight; but- up to the' present time | his aim,h'as -been very bad. Lets hope' he raises what few of his chicks he lias left. • . * ' BIRTHDAY BARTY 1 ..A very pleasant time Was enjoyed S| on Saturday, Jul# 2nd, irt the Cedars. ■ home, of Col. John W.

LARGE CROMS C SPEND 4TH HERE G THOUSANDS OF CITY DWELLERS M CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY AT CAPE MAY — BIG ' .WEEKEND PRESAGES AN EQUALLY BIG SEASON. J It is safe to say that Cape May had one of the very biggest week- "" ends in its resort history last week 6 from Friday to Tuesday, over the ' Fourth. of July." Practically every hotel was crowded, to capacity by .the e holiday throngs, some of whom were d t week enders and excursionists; but a ,b large number are here for two weeks c or more, while thousands of the Inde- p .. pendpnee' Day crowd arrived last Fri- , day for the summer season. g The musical entertainment present- d ed by the Colanthe Choir of Bridge- t ga ton, on the Fourth, was enjoyed by a ( large crowd of people who congregated ab the Converition Hall in the fore- j n noop. The club, composed, of 25 male voiaes. fully lived ,up to their wide- j voices, lived .up to their wirte- !

(hen proceeded .to the beach, install- | ^ -ed themselves in their specially con- ' I structed pavilion, and furnished good • ^ ' Uance music and lots of it during the 1 , bathing hours. This, of course, de- r r lighted the bathers, who became road- ^ ily acclimated to sand in the place of .' wax, and gaily disported .'themselves • ^ in their abbreviated coslpmes just as f though they were really, on the floor ^ . of a ball, room- i j . ' The mi^sic was quite good, and was ^ B a delight dVen to those nit tbe boijrd- f I walk and strhnd and in tne surf who ( did not participate in the dancing. t This feature of the* day was so enjoy- . able that it suggests the possible wis0 do!» and expediency of having some- ^ e thing of this nhtiire at regular intervnls.

July 5, 1921. ( "Star & Wave"' — . s Knowing the prevailing conditions'^ this community, among the boys | ^ and young men hinging in age from : , .10 to 25* years, I find it incumbent | upon some one of my race to seek a | permanent -institution to _ serve -both as a spiritual and spcial place, so as true Christian love, higher ideals and ; good standard of citizenship be flaught in the Y.

Be it known that this committee has' the endorsement of the leading churches of this City which means j so much towards the developing of an i institution for the colored people of this community, which will in time make our young men more conscious of their -Christian duties, more use to society and its meanings and better and more sincere citizens. * I We also have the indorsement of : much more than the writer can exfthe City Government, this » mean.-, press or space will- permit.

CAPES WIN THIRD i STRAIGHT GAME " DEFEAT THE HAMILTON FIELD 5 CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA. IN ONE SIDED GAME— KERSHAW " A. C. WERE THEIR VICTIMS r LAST SATURDAY, t ; In a one-sided though interesting game attende^"by a crowd that con-, jured to the minds of baseball fans l* "ye olden tymes," Cape May defeated the Hamilton. Field Club of Phila- " delphia in an eight inning game, score " 10-1. The visitors were ^outclassed '• by the local boys from the "opening d gun until the surrender, and their >'• south paw hurler was battered freely in all innings. ■ . . " The game was featured by the. air,e tight pitching of Lemmon, who workle ed the first six rounds, and Ewing, who held the enemy in the 7th and i 8th- Lemmon allowed two small hits in the third inning, andaside from this the game was liitless^s far «us th? iitan mnrprnpfl.

ed exceptionally " well. But the box I score of the Capes shows a different state of affairs. The whole team wielded great big bats, particularly Crawford, the snappy' catcher, ' who I gathered three smashing hits, tod crossed the rubber three times. He [would have done more if the game 'had. been longer. Poplewell, "the vetrein infielder, also hit safely twice. ' "Pop" is one of the best base getters 1 withAho outfit. I Hamilton got their solitary tally in . the third, while the "Capes" got 1 in . the second, eight in the fourth and one in the sixth. Capes Defeat Kershaw A. C. : Cape May secured enough runs in r the opening round to win bver the j Kershaw A. C. of Philadelphia in ' their' game last Saturday. The local 1 team chased three across the rubber f at the outset, and rested on their b oars for the balance of t he-game. „ The invaders sneaked in two' in the third, and after that the game settled 0 to a steady infield contest, no mor© r runs being scored. „ ' The Cape May club is playing nr. 'f excellent brand of baseball and deserves the support of all- the fans.
