REPORT Of A
BLACK FLAG
OFF BAHAMAS
CAPT. PHELAN OF STEAMSHIP
ROWANMORE BELIEVED HE
WAS HUNTED BY PIRATES AND
MADE AN OFFICIAL REPORT
OF 1T.

A Galveston, Tex, special reports
that Captain Phelan Of the British
steamship ROwanmore had stated
upon arrival that his vessel was
menaced by pirates of the coast of
the Bahama Islands, the captain TAX
ing such a report to the port collector,
who made it the subject OF an official
communication to the department at
Washington, following such a report
with an urged suggestion that revenue
cutters or other armed vessels go in
quest OF strange barks plying
nefaTiOUS business in that part of the
Atlantic
The story as carried by the dis
patch makes it a clear case of an at
tempt at piracy. as other vessels have
reported strange and suspicious craft
in that section. According to the
ship masters report that ROwanmOre
bound from Liverpool to Galveston
encountered a strange schooner about
dusk on the evening of Oct 6, about
sixteen miles northeast Of CaryfOTt
ShOal light, to the east of Florida.
The schooner was flying the distress
signal, the Greek flag at half-mast.
and when the British vessel came
alongside four men on the deck of
the TakiSh craft attempted to board
the vessel. Capt. Phelan stopped
them and demanded to know what
was wanted. The captain of the
schooner said they wanted to leave
their ship, which was disabled. but
the captain of the RowanmoTe could
see the schooner was in good cOndi-
ton. The leader Of the schooner, the
name of which could not be made out
then said he was short of Ior ten
men, and Capt. PheIan oftSed to send
food without having Rhy of the
schooner crew come aboard.
About this time other heads ap-
peared above the cabin Of the
schooner, and in the dim light they
were a hard looking set The schooner
swung around aft Of the vessel, and
three men from the strange craft,
whose name the leader said was the
Lonface, attempted to climb the
anchor chains to the steamship. The
crew of the vessel were summoned.
and Capt Phelan and officers armed
with guns threatened to shoot the first
man that came close TO the vessel.
The yawI used by the three who had
attempted to board the steamer put
back to the schooner.
The commander of the LiOnface
swore fiercely at his crew for its
failure and at the British vessel as
the schooner ran for cover among the
small isles. The suspicious actions of
the schOOneT's crew and the lies told
by the leader convinced Capt. Phelan
that he had encountered a band of
pirates. It is said several other ships
have recently reported strange
schOOneTs approaching vessels off the
Bahamas, but this is the first real at
tempt made to board a steamer.

much good was evolved from such an
appointment that at present seven
teen other counties are now following
with success the project. The plan
of personal educational agricultural
propaganda would never prove a fail
ure in any section, he asserted. And
education was what was needed by
the Florida planter. He needed some
one to help him look problems in the
face, meet them squarely and work
them out. He was personally glad
that the Chamber Of Commerce had
taken the matter up and thus getting
started In a small way an institute
which would do good.
Prof. Rolls Lectures.
Prof Rolls said that AGRICULTURAL
matters were nothing new TO him, for
such had been his hobby since he
was able to take care of himself He
had studied the matter from an educa-
tional viewpoint, to take him over
any difficulties. He ascribed it to
Ignorance, in the main, on the part of
the growers, for unprOductive and
Improbable ventures, for he said,
putting the problem up squarely,
they did not know what to do Citing
as illustrating his point, foreign re-
suits, he said that France, with a
population of little In excess of that
of one-haf the United States, sup
ports her people on an area less than
that OF Texas; and Germany, with
about twO-thirds the population of the
/ United States, supports her people on
an area less than that of the state OF
Texas. The agricultural people OF
the state, he claimed, made up A per
cent of the population, yet less than
4 per cent OF the agricultural area is

there had been almost parallel condi

been paid to the desires OF the sta

was rather surprising. How do you

speaker asked. looking at P. K. Yonge

By way of illustrating the good Of
personal instruction, Prof P. H. Rolls
gave the following as true of the
northwestern states: The average
/ pay Of a lawyer per annum is $3.50
The average earnings OF a doctor is
$3.50, while the average earnings oil
an adult on the farm is S11O0. And
the same conditions may exist in
Florida" He said people had not
the patience to listen when he talked
of cattle breeding, Of horse breeding
and of grain breeding, but under the
system employed now in educating
the farmer into scientific knowledge
of his work, the 11-bushels-per-acre OF
corn now would soon be so per cent
or even more. There must be edu-

How To Kill Potato Bugs

A number of the potato growers OF
the Kaw valley are appealing to the
chronological department of theUni-
versity of Kansas for help in CON-
batting the Colorado potato beetle,
which, they say, is much worse this
year than usual. The department has
advised them to spray thoroughly
their potato tops with the following
mixture.
White arsenic 2 pounds
Sal soda s pounds
Water 2 gallons
Boil all togethe for twenty minu-
ties, or until the arsenic dissolves.
One pint of this stock solution and
four pounds of freshly Stacked lime,
added to fifty gallons of water and
the roughly stirred makes the desir-
ed spray.
The potato tops should be we'll
sprayed with this solution after ev-'
cry shower, or until the beetles and
their young have been destroyed.
The spraying should continued
throughout the season or as long as
any potato bugs are to be seen. The
reason that the potato bug appears
so frequently is that the growers usu-
ally spray vigorously to check the |
first brood and then cease their
work, and the second brood is allow
ID to develop unheeded.

he went and measured the same
spears and found that in that lenght
