M. CLAYTON, JR., DROWNS WHEN ON A YACHTING TRIP Upon returning to the city last evening from Port Royal where she had been on an auto trip with Mr. and Mrs. C. Floyd Hopkins, Mrs. Charles M. Clayton, Jr., 26 South Nineteenth street, expected to be joined by her husband, a traveling salesman, who had intended coming home at 10.30 o'clock last night but instead she received a telephone message that Mr. Clayton was drowned while bathing yesterday in Elk River, near Turkey Point, Maryland. Mr. Clayton had been a guest on the yacht of William DeKroft, secretary and treasurer of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, in a party including also W. H. Keller, an undertaker, and J. V. Comley, an auctioneer, both of Philadelphia. The yacht left Elkton, Md., at noon yesterday and at Turkey Point the quartet went in bathing. DeKroft, Keller and Comley first entered the water and then Clayton dived in. He did not return to the surface and the other bathers searched in vain for his body. The tragedy was reported to Coroner Magraw, at Elkton, and afterward a reward was offered for the recovery of the body. Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Floyd Hopkins are sisters and Mr. Hopkins left this morning at 7.55 o'clock for Elkton. Mrs. Hopkins remained all night with her sister who is prostrated with grief. Mr. Clayton was a traveling salesman for the Keelox Manufacturing Company, of Rochester, N. Y., but resided here at the Nineteenth street address. With his wife and son, Charles M. Clayton, 3rd, he came to Harrisburg to live about three years ago from Philadelphia where he was born and reared and where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Clayton three brothers and two sisters, now live. Seven years ago he married Miss Cora McCleary: Mrs. Clayton's father, Ephraim McCleary, was killed at Hunter's Run about two years ago.

HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER, MRS. BERRY, MRS. GABLE. Girl Narrowly Escapes Drowning at Island Park While she and a few little companions were splashing about in the River, at the Island playground at noon today, Anna Stauffer, 10-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stauffer, 222 Chestnut street, got beyond her depth and narrowly escaped drowning.

Everetts applied to the Court this morning for an injunction to prevent C. Duncan Cameron from ejecting her from the property at 1807 State street, but the Judges took the application without making a decision. The Court intimated, however, that the request probably will be refused because an alderman already has passed upon her right to remain in the dwelling and ruled that she must vacate. The woman made a similar application in court several days ago and that was refused. ADMITS HE SHOT FELLOW-WORKER Arthur Harrison, 19 years old, colored, who hails from Columbia, S. C., pleaded guilty in court this morning to a charge of assault with intent to kill, but Judge Kunkel declined to impose sentence because the Court wanted more information on the circumstances that led up to the shooting. Harrison's victim was Joe Garmillion, another colored man who worked with him at the aviation depot in Middletown. Harrison said he shot "the fellow" at noon on June 5, last, because on the morning of that day Garmillion beat him mercilessly without an excuse. One shot struck Garmillion between the eyes and ploughed downward through the mouth and chin. Another entered the back of the head and circled around and down through the neck; a third lodged in Garmillion's side and the fourth pierced his arm. The victim has recovered and left Middletown, but the District Attorney will try and have him in court in September to tell his side of the story. Judge McCarrell suggested that if the boy's story be true, it might mitigate the sentence somewhat. Mark Little confessed to stealing two boxes of candy. It was his first offense and he said booze got him in wrong and Judge Kunkle paroled him. Floyd Thomas went to jail for three months for stealing his "pal's" watch, and Rodger Phillips was fined $10 on an assault and battery charge. The Court also disposed of several non-support cases. Raymond Leese was ordered to pay his wife $10 a week; Louis A. Osburn must pay $7 a week and David I. Cassel, $1.50 a week for one child.

Dr. William Dorwart, of Newport, Food Administrator of Perry County, last week fined John Bentzel, a Carroll Township bank director, $5 for hoarding thirty pounds of sugar and compelled Bentzel to surrender part of the sugar. A day or so after that the administrator went to Marysville to familiarize the merchants there with some new food regulations and he talked so long that darkness overtook him. All the while his auto was standing outside the meeting place and the lights were not burning. Constable J. W. Benfer was standing there and when Dr. Bentzel emerged the constable reminded him about the lights and that he probably would be fined $5 for violating the law. The clergyman-food administrator didn't wait to be summoned by Squire Harry Davis. He sent $5 to pay the fine.
