Although it lacked the thrilling Beck

queues all its own. A heavy blaaket
' of fog hung over th.. sea at Ambrose

Suddenly, the, breea freshened' aad

shoreward. Whea they swung about for
the tint mark, Bnolote's work int" the
weather had gained her aa advantage of
snore than a quarter mile.
. Again Captain Adams held Sesolote
well up against the wind, with the re
sult that he wss sble te make the mark
without a tack. Shamrock headed off

whea a freaky bit of weather blew up
that fooled evea the aessoned Jersey
skipper Captain Burton had en the chal

rock of whatever chance she., had of
tr.king the lead and winan:g.
The sloops were running faat in a 15
knot breese when signs of a temffie
aquall , became apparent. Shamrock
hastily took down her club topeail aad
her large jib topsail aad prepared for
rough weather. Beeolute plowed ahead
under full sail for a time, apparently

'Washington, July 23 North Caro
lina is again drawing the spotlight from
the Prisoner's Belief Society of Wash-
inrton aad this time Mrs. Bex B.
Duckett. wife of a Washington minis
ter and a native of the State, has beea
seat ea a tour ef inspection of the
road esmpe in different part of North
Carolina. ' f : ?' ''-.';
The sending of Mrs. Duckett to North
Carolina, President E. H. Dudding, ef
the society, said is ia order that ehe
may make a first hand investigation of
the "epidemic" of complaints that are
reaching the office ef the society and
then appeal direct to Governor Blekett
for help. !'-. -! "
Dudding talked this afternoon about
the charge that were lodged against
Captaia Bhem, in charge ef the Halifax
Farm. He produced several copies ef
letter which he declared eame : from
people ii the State who he had reason
te believe and which related conditions
ia the lamp too horrible to print.
He pointed eat that the failure ef
the-last investigation to - sustaia the
charges was due to the fact that the
teetimoay of the prisoners was the oaly
thing that could be offered to sub
stantinte the charges. ' This kind ef.
evidence, he 'explained, ia' aever given
serious consideration by the authorities.
Decline Any Particulars
Acknowledging that Mrs. Duckett
carried to the State with her a number
of letter picturing "deplorable condi
tions" ia some ef the road camps. Bud
ding declined to name the particular
place to be visited by Mrs. Duckett.
8he ia going there ostensibly . a
casual visiter' aad hope to get at the
bottom ef the charges ' without . her
identity being known nntil ehe reaches
the -Governors erasM,wtth ,her eon
elusions and facta.
Asked if he had received any com
plaint lately about the Central prison
in nleigh, inidding said that no com.
plaint has been made to the society
regarding this institution so-far as he
kaows.. The condition- in the Halifax
camp, be benevee from letters that
continue to ebme to sjls office, are but
little improved.
He has high regard for the Tar Heel
Chief Executive and quotes the Gov
ernor as saying' to him that "no road
eamp ia a ft place for a convict to
live." He' believes Governor Biekett has
the interest of the prisoners aa much
at heart aa any executive in the United
State. : He has just returned te Wsth
ington from a survey of prison condi
tions in the West. - -r , rf-.
' Cite Colore as Example. i
In Colorado." Dudding said, "there
are more than three hundred eeavlejte
working oa one road and ia charge ef
only one guard. Tewnty-on of these
men : are life-term era. They seldom
have an escape. If they .can do that
in Colorado, why eant they do it else
where" "
The Prisoners' Belief Society can
only bring prison conditions to the at
tention ef the 'State officials, Dudding
explained. One alternative, which did'nt
pleaee Governor Biekett a bit, ia te
have the Federal government plaee its
prisoners in charge - of State prison
officials.
In such' a ease, the attorney general
of the United' State eaa deal with
eharges ef cruelty to' prisoners. This
haa oaly been tried eul in West Vir

We 'are ia possessioa of -i eertaia

The police theory is that ths mutila-
tie was the work of a manias possess
ing a crude knowledge of medicine, but
none of surgery.. '... .
"Whoever did the . job." said Chief
Medical Examiner Norrie, 'knew enough
te remove all organs which would give
evidence of , a crime or method of

the body had beea made before or after
death. . He was inclined to believe,-he
said, that they .had beea made after the
womaa died. ';. r"
I am almost eertaia that a eriminal

'That-, eaa be determined , by finding

Washington, D. C, July 23-PoUnd,
sorsry beset by the Russia a Bolshevik
armies, called 'upon the United States '
today for moral support in her now des
perate bettie with the 8oviet force.
Through ite legation here, the new re.
public mot only asked for aa xpressla
from the Bute Department, but also
from President Wilson, declaring that
such public statements would go a long
way toward strengthsalng' ths morals,
ef it soldiers aad people. --

was aot yet too late to avert dim.,..
and that aa sxpreesioa ef support sad

Alllsd Aid SaSicleat
Experts who. have beea studvine- ths
situatioa were divided in their opinio
as to Just hew much support should be
gives to Poland to revive her fighting
foreee to the point where they eould
withstand ths Bussiaa armies. The .e.
fen of Great Britain aad France ta
send troops wss regarded by a few ae
more than enough, and in this time
Polish legatioa agreed. It waa argued
that Polaad had an additional millba
and halt men it eould -put lata tbe
field, aad that with sufficient arms snd '
ammunition sad. bscked by the mer.l
support ef the United State and the
allies, u eeald stem the advance of the
Bed Armies.''- -
No Reqaest for Soldier. - -No
euggestion that the United States
participate ia the actual physical aid
Poland has beea received from either
Fraaee or Great Britain, but such a
request would aot eome aa a surprise.
It wae indicated, however, that the
present position of the United (Hates In
international affairs would mske any ae. '
tlon ether then a possible extension of
eredit improbable. 1
It was believed ia soms quarters thst
neither Greet Britain aor France would
Inaugurate their participation by 'th'
dispatch ef more than vary smsll -forces,
but it wss argued evea the en.
trance of a vision or evea a brigade
apiece wnild serve to stimulate the
Polee to. greater activity.
Sltaatlea Regarded Serious.
Govern men t officials were aot incline 1
to minimize ths seriousness ef the sit
uation. Army officers aad Stats Depart.
ment officials agreed that a failure to
easily develop a menace to all Europe. ,
Reports from Germany especially were '
carefully considered. Tbe feet th.it
Germany still is technically in a Stats
et war with Bussia despite her ex
pression of a position of neutraity wis
commented upon. It was pointed out
that by signing the treaty of Vsrsai'le, '
Germany automatically abrogated the
Brest-Litovsk treaty,' aad that sines then
no pact has been entered into by G r
many aad Bussia.
