SAILOR LEAVES SHIP WHEN SEA GETS ROUGH.
Vito Chico started from off the Baltimore county water front three weeks ago aboard the oil tanker Mattinicock as a wireless operator. It was his first voyage to sea. When the Mattinicock returned, Vito was among the missing.
While the ship was bound to Tampico in ballast Vito got his first taste of real rough weather and, according to his mates, committed the sailorman's unpardonable crime of becoming seasick.
Vito was to return to Baltimore and expected to leave the Mattinicock, he hoped, forever. But when the big tanker put into Texas City after extra cargo Vito packed baggage. He passed two shipmates as he went ashore. There was a goodly sum of money due him for the wireless operating, but he didn't wait for that. He hastily descended the gang plank.

MAJOR JAMES B. HUGHES CITED
FOR BRAVERY BY WAR
DEPARTMENT.
Twenty-six years ago, as a first lieutenant of the One Hundred and Tenth United States Cavalry, James B. Hughes commanded a battery of four two-pounders which supported the left wing of the American forces attacking the Spanish forces at Santiago.
He was recently cited for his bravery on that occasion.
He is now a retired major and lives at the Green Spring Valley Hunt Club.
On July 1, 1898, the fighting was hot. Poison gas and guns that could shoot seven miles were unknown, but the rifle fire of the Spaniards was deadly. Behind the lines the American artillery pounded away at long range. The two-pounders, however, were not effective at this distance. They were small guns and were hauled by mules, sometimes by hand. On this occasion they were dragged up by hand. Lieutenant Hughes placed his battery directly opposite the Spanish trenches and opened fire with telling effect despite a violent counter-fire.

OFFICER'S CAP CAUSED STORM, SAILORS HOLD.
An unusual tale of the superstitions of seafaring men was revealed by members of the crew of the steam ship Bird City when they anchored off the county water front after a four month trip from Buenos Aires.
Just before the vessel left port, members of the crew say, they persuaded the chief officer, Oscar E. Pihlack, to discard his old weather-beaten seamen's cap and don a new one. The old cap, Pihlack believed, had* kept him out of misfortune for a quarter of a century, through many a hard sea voyage, and he was reluctant to make the change, but he finally acceded to their wishes.
The trip proved uneventful until two weeks ago, while passing through the West Indies, the vessel was caught in a hurricane, which made members of the crew fear for their safety. Believing the new cap the cause of their misfortune, Pihlack tossed it overboard and donned his old headgear. Immediately, so members of the crew say, the waves began to subside and the vessel passed through the storm safely.
The sailors have now adopted their chief officer's view regarding the powers of the old cap, and never again will they ask him to discard it.
The Bird City warrants its name from the number of its feathered inhabitants, there being 28 parrots and two parrakeets aboard her. Two boa constrictors, mascots of the ship, died during the hurricane. There are also three marmosets aboard.
The vessel brought a cargo of coffee, bones and dried blood from Buenos Aires.
She is a little girl and big tears trickle down her cheeks. Like most ten - year - old daughters, Dorothy wants her mother. But the mother doesn't want the little girl.
It is almost a month since Mrs. Anna E. Betz left her home at Jones' Creek, this county, and started to collect rent due on a house owned by her husband at 39 South East avenue.
At least that's where she said she was going. She never reached the East avenue address. And to this day three little daughters—Thelma, Margaret and Dorothy; a son, Louis, and her husband, Jacob L. Betz— have had no word of her.
When the mother didn't come home, Betz closed the house at Jones' Creek and moved his family in town with his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Busch, 504 S. Clinton street.
Every night, when the 6 o'clock whistles of East Baltimore are blowing and Father Betz, a shop foreman for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
comes home, Dorothy asks in vain for her mother.
For Dorothy is the most concerned
of the family. The others are older. They can understand when Grandmother Busch tells a vague story about mother going off with a soldier from Fort Howard.
But Dorthy can't. And though father shakes his head sorrowfully in answer to her nightly question, Dorothy's faith in mother love refuses to be blemished.
Betz has appealed to the Police Bureau of Missing Persons. Thirty-seven years old, the mother was slight and of medium height. She had dark brown eyes and hair.
