THEIR DEATH PRINTED

went out with a couple of cronies to
enjoy a days fishing. and Il you return
ed bringing a bushel of clans and a
few founders, TO find the obituary no.
tees of yourself and your friends in
the evening papers, wouldn't you be
glad you were still alive.
This was the experience of Edgard F.
COwing, Nathieal Myra. and James
Y5imcock. members of the Corinthian
Yacht Club Yesterday morning they
went down the bay in their new motor
boat. About two hours iaJer some one
reported that a craft containing three
men had capsized, and Immediately
word went out that it was the yachts
men.
When the trio drew up TO the wharf.
about 3 o'clock p. m, they were met by
a searching party bearing the evening
edition Of the Providence papers. with
their pictures on the front pages and
sad stories OF their sudden demise.
While Cowing. Myra, and Simcox have
proved alibis, the persons who reported
the sinking motor boat are confident
such an accident took place, and 10 this
extent the occurrence is still a mys-
terry.

CHIEF BELTS "SPARKLER"

Scintillating like the Pleiades, the big
diamond. which William T. Belt. the
veteran chief of the District Fire De-

for the last twenty-nine years, was
always a source Of inspiration to the
rlen under him, who fought the flames.
No longer will the big "sparkler'' shine
on the chiefs hand. for the stone has
been lost from the setting, and in the
top Of the band Of gold there is an
opening that looks like it could easily
hold a piece of furnace coal.
Chief Belt lost the stone yesterday.
while he was visiting several OF the
school buildings that have been con-
cemned as unsafe. The stone is a three
and-a-half karat valued at 500. which
was set in such a way that it could be

Detection Among Leaders.

That there will be. in the coming
campaign. a faction of Republican lead
e-ship which will give itself small con
Germ about assuring the election OF the
Republican ticket, is another proba biliCy
which Is now frankly admitted In
both House and Senate, particular lead
ers are named as likely to take very
little trouble in behalf Of the party.
Some of these have been displeasCd with
5he insistence or the President that
his policies must be enacted into laws
a this session. and are quite willing
that the candidate pledged TO the con
tinuanCe Of those policies should be de-
1eated.
Standing as the bulwarks Of extreme
conservatism, trying TO keep Congress
from following its disposition 10 line up
with the President, some Of these lead
ers have grown tired Of the onerous un-
equal contest They believe their func-
tion would De easier if the next admin
istratiou should be divided-a Republi-
can Senate assured. they could inject
parUisauShip into the discussion Of meas
uTes. ard more easily defeat measures
which they found Objectionable.
These people fear that the present de-
Dleted state of the revenues presag es
an effort to force income and inherit
ance tax legislation before the end Of
the next administration, and, feeling
themselves compelled 70 defeat that If
possible, they prefer 10 take their
chance of success If the Government is
divided.

few years ago the entire civilized
world was startled when the news final
" reached it of the terrible mutiny on
Navassa Island. little rock promon-
tory in the Caribbean sea, in which the
blacks rose against the whites. Words
cannot describe the brutal butchery.
The whites were caught ike rats in
trap and. although outnumbered, they
fought back desperately. The rock
ribbed island was stained a CORY red
with the blood of the fallen on both
sides.
Finally the ringleaders in the revolt
were brought TO trial. found guilty. and
imprisoned in the Federal penitentiary
az Atlanta. Recently one Of the num-
Der. who had planned the mutiny. and
was the most guilty. applied for a par
don. The atrocity OF his crime has
not been forgotten, and it Is hardly
likely that his request Will be seriously
considered. The history Of that mas

Facts About Genealogy

The United States is supposed 10 be
a democratic country. where every man
is equal and each stands sIuarely upon
his own feet. 1t sounds very nice. but.
as matter of fact, more attention Is
paid TO genealogy in this country than
in any other nation on the face Of the
globe Genealogy lawyers are numerous
in all Of the larger cities. ana some OF
them are growing rcn from the fees
they make hunting up ancestors.
In this connection II Is interesting to
note that the population OF the worlo
is considerably less than TWO billions
yet the number Of descendants credited
20 William the Conqueror totals the
enormous sum OF two hundred and sew
enty-four billions. Just think Of it.
These and many other interesting facts
concerning genealogy comprise an in
