TELLS OF MISSING SHIP.
Sailor Says She Was Confiscated and
the Crew Imprisoned.

Kingstown, st. Vincent, B. w. l.,
May Sit may be that Captain Collin
Stephenson and the crew of the Amer
lean whaling ship Carrie d. Knowles,
long since thought to have been lost at
sea, are still alive in a Venezuela
prison. An American seaman who
gives the name of Payne, an escaped
prisoner from Venezuela, has made his
way to Kingstown, where he laid be-
fore the authorities an astounding
story of the seizure of the Carrie d.
Knowles at Venezuela port where she
arrived five years ago in distress and
the inceration by the Venezuelans of
their captain and his his men.
So convinced are the authorities here
that there is truth in Payne's story
that they have taken down his full
steps looking to a speedy and thorough
investigation of the case.
On January 81, 1904. the Carrie d.
Knowles sailed from Providencetown
on a whaling voyage. Her captain was
Collin Stephenson, and her first mate
H. A. Martin. She carried a crew of
about a dozen men
The vessel was supposed to have been
lost in West Indian storm with all
hands. Some of the men belonged in
ST. Vincent, and after all hope was
given up of their return, their relatives
put on mourning and the local insur-
ance company eventually paid the
claims against it on the assumption
that the sailors were dead.
Payne declared that the whaler had
been disabled in storm off the Vene-
zuelan coast and had made port in dis
tress. This was five years ago, but the
exact date he could not remember. She
was at once seized and the captain and
the crew were made prisoners and
thrown into Jail He states all,are alive
but are still closely confined.
The details of Payne's escape from
prison are not known as the police
have him in charge and will detain
him until the investigation of the au-
thorities establishes the truth or faIsity
of his story.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Temperance Among Engineers
Is Increasing.
Drinking on the Wane Among
Railroad Employees.
SANTA FEE HAS RULES
Which Keep Men in Operating
Department From Indulging.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

There is probably not a business
where sobriety and temperance is as
much demanded as in the operating
department of a great railway system.
This may appear strange, because the
general belief is that railroad men are
a happy-go-lucky lot. to whom prohi-
bition is a joke. That may have been
the case several years ago, but now the
opposite is true. While there may be
an occasional case of quiet drinking,
yet the great majority of the operating
railway employees practice prohibition.
Why? Because they know that the
men who do not drink are given the
preference and their advancement is
almost certain.
Many of the men, especially engi-
neers, go even farther than being total
abstainers themselves. In several cases
they have refused to work with men
in the habit of using intoxicants. These
men are not what Is generally known
as prohibition cranks," but they have
studied prohibition from its various
angles and know that sobriety is es-
sential to both men in the cab as well
as one
The Atchisor Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company is not only strict
with regard to the drinking habit, but
it is doing everything in it's power to
encourage Its employees to keep away
from places where intoxicants are sold.
Rule 200 of special instructions which
every man is required to read says:
1.-THE use of intoxicating liquors has
proved a most fruitful source of trou-
BILE to railroads as well as to indivi-
duals. The company will exercise the
most rigid scrutiny in reference 70
the habits of employees in this respect.
Drinking when on duty of frequenting
saloons will not be tolerated. and pre-
ference will be given to those who do
not drink at ALL

general superintendent of the Santa

er 1t is the result of the general prohi-
bition wave that is going over the coun-
try or not. But 1 do know that there
is less drinking among railroad en-

man to be marveled at. Today the re-
verse is true. The strictly sober man

handing that $500 be placed in some
sort of a vessel Ga tin can would do) at
a certain telephone pole at the Durrin
school corner.
The date set for this to be done
was April IT, Saturday. He was or
dered further to keep his mouth
shut concerning the transaction. Fail
ure to comply with the demand was
to result in Mr.. Brust's home being
blown up and his family sent to
hadeS by "our gang"
Farmer Brust Took Precautions.
Mr. Brust who is well along in
years, was considerably alarmed by
the threat and at once took measures
to protect himself and family and
property Opinion is divided as to
whether the writer of the threatening
letter sent it for a joke, for simple
meanness, or to be Smart or he
meant what he said and lacked the
nerve to carry out his plans.
The letter was mailed either the
night of Saturday. April 10. or the
Sunday night following, and was
dropped into a rural mail box between
Wakefield and the Brust home.
The whole neighborhood has since
been in a state of suppressed excite
ment and the feeling against the
would-be blackmailer is intense,
though hope of experimenting him
seems now to have been about
abandoned.
