TORPEDO FOR POTEMKIN
Renegade Ship Is Stalked by Destroy
ers with Loyal Crews.

Odessa, July At is repos9ed persist
emily in army and naxalz circles, that
the Prince Potemkin is being stalked
and pursued by several torpedo boats,
of these boats consist of officers, who
volunteered, so there is no danger of
their refusal to obey orders and de-
stroy the renegade ship.
The Potemkin s hours are declared
here to be numbered. Regret is ex-
pressed at the destruction of such a
splendid and powerful battleship and
at the loss of life, but this is thought
to be preferable to the continued dis
honor of her presence in the Black sea
commanded by mutineers.
Several torpedo boats were reported
to be off Odessa last night. There are
other signs of activity among the tor
pedo fleet. The whereabou of the
Potemkin is not known here, but she
Is reported to have left Kustenji.

scandals. Gilt-edged security is re-
quired, and where this is not forth:
coming there is nothing doing. Profess
sional bondsmen with their straw bail
are not recognized 49,.
Absolutely no mercy was shown. Rich
and poor, old offenders and young, were
scooped up in the same net and car
ried away to jail. 1t was curious
ence, in the city walking up to the
magistrates courts to proffer bail for
relatives or friends caught in the raid.
In not a single instance did the men
or women prisoners of good repute
give their real names. AS IS always
the, case, the women got by far the
hardest deal. In every case the wom-
