modors W. s. Hatfield, u the
NorwsikiYscht Club, Badly
Damaged-Several Persons
Seriously Burned
A terrific explosion Saturday nlglit
between 7:45 and ti o'clock on the. alix~
iliary sloop Alfarata, flagship of the
Norwalk Yacht Club fleet, nml owned
by Commodore William S. liatfleld.
threatened the lives, of four people
and the destruction of the handsome
yacht.
The most seriously injured as a re-
sult of the accident is ()tto Anderson,
who was working on the boat's engine
at the time. The skin was mnnplctoly
burned from ills right arm, the flesh
deeply scared and the arm otherwise
bruised, the skill burned from his face,
his eyebrows burned off. the top of
his face and much of the. skin was
burnedifrom llls left arm. and his
clothing partially burned, particularly
his shirt. With all these injuries, Mr.
Anderson emerged from the wreckage,
conscious, though resembling a color-
ed man. and suffered excruciating pain.
For a time he was blinded.
Next in point of serious injury was
I-lowsrd A. Craiiipton, who was just
over the cockpit. when the explosion
occurred. Mr. Crampton's face was
severely blistered, ills clothes set afire.
his hair singed and his left arm was
deeply burned. and he was blown over-
board. ‘
lrviug R. Wilinot, the. fleet captain
of the Norwalk Yacht Clllb. who was
on deck, holding the funnel. was also
blown overboard by the explosion.
Immediately after the explosion.
Commodore Hatfield rushed into the
denuded cabin to turn off the gasolene
tank and thusprovent possibly even
worse consequences than had already
occurred. While. on this dangerous ex-
pcditlon, Commodore Hatfield's cloth-
ing took tire and his right ankle and
right hand were quite painfully
burned,
The accident. occurred while the Al-
furata was moored well off shorefrolu
the Anderson Launch Works at Oyster
’ Shell Point, where the Vessel had been
out of commission all winter and had
undergone an overhauling, prepara-
tory to the season about to begin.
The rejuvenating process was all
completed and Commodore Hatfield
was anxious to get the Alfarata ready
to take out the governing board of
the yacht club Sunday morning. but
it was discovered after the. engine was
pllt together that a hearing was tight.
it. became dark while the work on this
was in progress and Otto Anderson
was finishing up with the aid of a
little lamp.
While he was doing this. Commo
(lore Hatfield started to fill the gnso
lobe tank, He had already poured
ill ten gallons without mishap. when
the unexpected explosion occurred.
followed by a very loud report.
Otto Anderson states that the first
he discovered smoothing was wrong.
was when the lump he was using
started to flicker peculiarly. 'iie. shout-
ed a warning. but it was then too late.
though he started to throw the. lamp
out. in about a second there was a
big-flash and the explosion and report.
It is supposed that the heavy night
air carried the fumes of the gnsolcne
down into the cabin. where they grad
ually collected. until the air was com
plotely surcliarged.
Oscar Anderson, proprietor of lllt
Launch Works. was asilorv at the time.
hilt quickly investigated when he
heard the explosion. llt— rum-(i out to
the Alfarata and brought his injured
brother, Mr. Cralnpton and the others

was also sent and Drs. l“. l. liurnoll

The whole interior of the cabin of
the Alfarats-wos gutted, the cabin
blown loose from its fastenings, and
the yacht's deck was blistered. it is
believed that she has been damaged
to the extent of at least $200. The
Alfarata is twenty~six feet long.

PULP SCHODNER
GDODWIN RAISED
Diver and Wrecking Apparatus
Came from New ,York Yes-
terday,and Work Was Quick-
ly Accomplished
At last the pulp schooner, “Francis
Goodwin," which has been sunk ut the
docks of the St. George Paper and
Pulp Company. for over a week, hiis
been raised. During the time which
the boat has laid on the rocks till the
pulp was removed from the decks, and
a little truth the hold of the ship.
Yesterday morning a wrecker from
New York city was towed into the bar-
llOl'. and operations were commenced
immediately. The pulp acted as a stop
for the water. and some of the pulp
was replayed by the wrecker, and the
large pump wasup-n started.
A diver went down and looked over
the hilll. and discovered that a hole
about eight feet long has been stove
in the ship, on the port side. near the
bow.
,Two largo stones which were in the
way of his work were removed, and
when the pump had gotten the best of
the water in the bout, the big schooner
was dragged from the rocks so that.
the diver might have a better chance.
to work at the hole.
A large crowd of people watched the.
operations from the rivet banks. with
great interest. The diver went down
on the bottom and stayed there about
one hour ‘uuda half the first time, and
went down several times after that.
A large pieco of canvass was securv
ed and lilo divs-r Went down and l'us-
lf'llt‘tl it over the hole, and the water
was thou pumped out and the great
schooner iloiited off as nice as colild
be.
Today the ship is laying at anchor
off the docks as if nothing had bup-
pencil. The work of unloading the
boat. is being carried on.
The boat will probably be rcpntched
on the inside, and will then be taken
into dry dock somewhere and be re-
paired.
Work is being carried on today also
of removing the rocks upon which the
boat was damaged. Tile diver will
probably go down this afternoon and
locate the best way ill which to get
them out.
When he came up yesterday he was
asked if he could see when at work
on the bottom and replied that he
could not. He stated that he had work-
ed all over the country, and outside
of Sandy Hook the Witter was clear
and he could see in the daytime, but
in the. Sound, or New York harbor, the
water was dirty. and he would just as
soon work at niglit‘ns in thc‘dny, be
cause he could not see anything.
M R. CARPENTER CONGRATU LAT-
E
Citizens of South Norwalk Glad Ho Is
to Remain as Pastor Hers.
Rev. Ii. B. Carpenter received yes-
terday a. multitude of testimonials ex
pressing gratification that he is not to
leave South Norwalk. which must
have been very pleasing and encourag-
ing to him. They came not only from
his own congregation but also from
the members of other churches.
The Men's Christian inquiry Club,
of the South Norwalk Congregational
church, sent him a very yvnrm testi-
locate! (it the appreciation of the men
of that church. The men oi the Nor-
walk Congregational church sent him
a similar greeting.
Last evening while Dr. Gumbart was
introducing Mr. Carpenter to the gath-
ering at the patriotic service in the
South Norwslk Congregational church.
a prominent layman arose and re-
quested that the entire congregation
be given the privilege of expressing
their gratitude and appreciation of
Mr. Carpenter's services to the com-
munity, and at, his decision to remain,
to which the entire congregation, in-
eluding Douglas Fowler Post, G. A. 1%.,
gave response with great heartiness.
It is also known that many of the
prominent men in the community have
also sent their personal expressions
to him.

lustios Norschsusor Decides
Thst Matteswsn is the Prop-
er Place for the Slayer of
Stanford White—Thaw in-
sane and Should Not Be At-
icwed at Large
l‘OllGHKlCEi’SlE, N. Y., May 20:—
Harry K. 'l‘raw, the slayer of Stanford
White, will not be released from the
lunatic asylum.
This is the decision reached by Jun-
iice Morschauser of the Supreme
Court, lll an opinion flied early this
morning in the matter of Thuw's up-
pllcntion for release on a writ of hu-
boas corpus.
lioth points brought up by Thaw‘s
attorneys are decided against hllu. 'l‘ile.
justice declares that Thaw is now iii-
sane and should not be allowed at
large and he furlher declares that tho
coiuiuitiiienl to the lunatic asylum by
Justice llowlliig after the lust trial of
the court was entirely legal.
’i‘haw’s lawyers will today apply to
the conri for permission to place Thaw
ill some other institution than the Mill-
lt‘ilWflll Asylum, and by stipulation
with the district attorney the prisoner
will be iii-pt in the jail here until Jus-
‘tleo Morschnuser renders a decision.
The justice is holding court ill White
Plains this week and will lint be able
to hear the application before next
week.
Justice Morschauser's decision is as
follows:
Upon application dilly made, a writ
of ilabeus corpus was allowed by which
flurry K. 'i‘liuw was directed to be pro
dllced in court. ill the petition it is
alleged that said Thaw is illegally inl~
micelles and restrained of his liberty
by Amos 1‘. linker. acting superinten-
dent of Mutteuwan State Hospital, ll
slate institution for the insulin.
Thsw‘s detention is attacked upon
the groumls:
Firstw'l‘hat he is now sane.
Second-«That the act under the pro-
visions of which he was committed
and detained was unconstitutional and
the wart was without jurisdiction to
issue the order of commitment and
such order Was null and void.
The return to lllt‘ writ alleges that
said Thaw is now insane and that the
statute providing for the confinement
of said 'i‘llaw is constitutional and rule
id and that the court had jurisdiction
to make the order of commitment. The
return is traversed by the winters.
The «Wilts leading up to the coup
mitmeiit of Thaw are in brici as fol-
lows:
On June 25. 1906, 'i‘liuw shot and
klliml lllli‘ Stanford White. “t‘ was
indicted for this act in the county of
New York and the indictment charged
him with murder iii the first degrcp.
(in January :23, liill't'. he was brought
to trial on this lllilll‘lllll‘lll and during
llli' plogruili of fills trial. on applica-
lli‘il of the district littoral-y lliltli‘l‘ see-
iiou non of the code of Criminal pro
endure. ii commission was duly ap»
pointed to ascertain win-llicr at the
than of Hill trial said 'l‘liuw was In a
stain of lilltlt‘)‘, lunacy or insanity so as
to he incapable of lightly understands
tug his own rendition. the nature of
the charge against him. and of conduct-
lug his defense in a rational manner.
The wiiiluisslon afterwards returned
to tile (‘Ullll that it was their opinion
ilifli at the time of their examination
said Thaw was sane and was capable
of understiuidlng his own condition
and the nature of the charge against
him. and conducting ills defense in a
rational manner. This conclusion was
reached in accordance with the purpose
of the statute. The trial proceeded
and resulted in a disagreement of the
jury. 0n the. sixth day of January,
1908. said Thaw was again tried on
said indictment. and acquitted on the
ground of insanity,
Thercupon the learned justice pre-
siding at the trial, upon the evidence,
made an order reciting the verdict and
that the court deemed the discharge
of said Thaw at that time be dul-
gerous to public safety, and irectlng
that said Thaw be detained n a can.
today and besent to the at swan
State Hospital. there to be kept until
discharged by due process of law. .
The p'roof and evidence on the part
of the respective; parties have been
ably presented. and the matter has
been submitted. _
Thaw. at the time of his trial for
homicide. as a defense, pleaded in-
sanity at the time of the killing of
White and by the proof offered on his
behalf, the jury was convinced that. lie
was insane and acquitted him upon
that ground. .
i am satisfied from the evidence ad-
duced before me that this mental con-
dition of Harry K. Thaw has not
changed, and i find that he is now in-
sane and that. it. is so manifest as to
make it unsafe for him to be at large.
To review the voluminous evidence
adduced on the hearing would unnec‘
essarlly ‘ lengthen this opinion.
Thaw was committed pursuant to
Section 464 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure. which reads as follows:
Section 464, When defendant acquit-
ted on the ground of insanity. the fact
to be stated with the verdict—Commit
mom of defendant to state lunatic
asylum. .
When the defense is insanity of th
defendant the jury must be instructed.
if they acquit him on that ground, to

Sudden lilac in Trinity lliver
Has Driven Many Families
from Their Homes.
u.
DALLAS, Tex. May 26.—-What
may result in one of the most destruc-
tive floods in Dallas and vicinity in
recent years is threatened today as a
result of a sudden and FOCUl'd-Dl‘e‘llk'
ing rise in the Trinity River. Already
one life is known to have been lost, the
section of the city known as the Eagle
Ford lioad, is inundated, many famil-
ies being driven from their homes and
the power plant of the Dallas Street
lluiiwuy Company is under water to
the first floor, cutting of! all light and
electilcnl current.
The flooded section is aloha
stretches of lowlands. and the main
residence and business sections of the
city will in all probability escape the
water's invasion.
Reports of persons missing and loss
of lives are being brought to the at-
tention of the authorities, which be
ciiuse oi the attendant confusion, it
was impossible promptly to confirm.
The property loss will be heavy. Those
