BOLSHEVIK GREW MUTINIED Put Officers in Irons and Sailed to Murmansk, Then, Tiring of Soviet Life, Stole Vessel Again and Re turned to Cuxhaven. Washington. The theory that Bol hevist buccaneers, agents or sympa thizers were responsible for the disap pearance of more than twenty mer chant vessels off the Virginia and Car olina coasts during the last six months received a decided impetus when offi cials investigating the case came into possession of a detailed official ac count of the seizure of the Cuxhaven fishing steamer. Senator Schroeder. by a mutinous crew, who confiscated the vessel' in the name of the soviet gov ernment.' . ,'" After the captain and other officers bad been overpowered and locked up, the ringleader of the mutineers, one Knuefken, aided by two Bolshevist agents who had been smuggled aboard as stowaways, ran the ship into the port of Murmansk. ; Buccaneer Gets Five Years. . Here Knuefken left the ship and eventually made his way back to Ham burg, where he was-convicted of mu tiny and ship stealing and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Meanwhile, members of the crew who had remained with the Senator Schroe der, tired of life with the soviet and plotted to steal the ship and return to Cuxhaven. Getting permission' to gO out on a fishing trip they overpowered their new officers and took the Senator Schroeder -back to Cuxhaven, where they were arrested and tried. This fantastic though apparently in disputable report of mutiny and piracy gave a new lease of life to the belief first expressed by Secretary of Com merce Hoover, that the unusual loss of ships during the last year must be ascribed to the actions of Bolshevist crews. - Official Report of Mutiny. "The Cuxhaven fishing steamer Senator Schroeder," said the official ' re port in part," left the fishing harbor In Cuxhaven on April 21, 1921, on a voyage to Iceland. On board were the captain, two officers, two engineers, five sailors, two stokers, and a cook, and also one passenger. . "Three stowaways had been smug gled aboard without the knowledge of the master. "When the ship was fairly out to sea the captain was decoyed into the .-sailors' quarters and overpowered by the three sailors and the stowaways :and locked up. "The passenger, the first officer, and the first engineer were then likewise imprisoned In the sailors' quarters and -the rest of the crew were forced by xthreats to continue running the ship.

They will be called upon to pay the -Duchess Decazes, organizer of the great charity Pavlowa fete bagatelle, at the Polo club, half a million francs. The terms of the Insurance stated that all expenses would be. paid by Lloyd's if the observ ers stationed on the top of Eiffel tower noted more than two milli meters of rain after eleven o'clock In the morning.

TOLD OF H. C. L IN HEAVEN "Voice From Tomb" Persuades French Widow to Place 500 Francs .on Husband's Grave. Paris. Because of her readiness to believe that"e,ven in heaven the cost of living had become a serious prob lem a certain faithful French widow came near being defrauded the other day. Since the death of her husband this woman had made it a " rule to make a daily, visit to his grave in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. But one day while placing flowers on the; mound she was startled by hearing a voice. , "Up here," the voice called out, "It Is the same as upon the earth every body .wants money. On every hand are people asking for tips. Dear friend, can vyou let me, have 500 francs?" Having no money wltl her the woman ' after struggling to overcome her fear promised to bring some as soon as possible and the voice replied gratefully: "Thank you." The woman went home and told a neighbor of hex remarkable experience. The neighbor thought a while and then advised the widow to .do what the voice had requested, out the neighbor also went to the authorities and let them in on the secret. Gathering together the necessary 500 francs . the widow piously placed the money on the grave In a purse and went away. When she was out of sight a young man stepped out from behind a nearby tombstone and took up the purse. But the next thing he knew a policeman had him by the collar. It turned out that the young man was a nephew of the widow, but at the trial that followed she forgave him and withdrew the charges when the young man!s wife with a baby in her arms appealed to the widow for mercy. i Fortune Missing: Maiden Her Spanish Grandfather and American Uncles" Searching for Helen Owen.

After the third pay they should be fed four or five tiroes dally for the, first week or ten d'as, but they should be given only whatfthey will eat up clean each time. Overfeeding will do more harm than underfeeding. Greater care must be used tot to overfeed young chicks that are -confined than those that have free i.nge, ,as leg weakness Is apt to result In those confined.
