E. E. Wilson, Sailor, Tells How
United States ConsuIs Re-
fused to Aid Him.
WAS MADE TO SERVE
ON BRITISH WARSHIP
Alleges Diplomats Deserted Him in
London When He Resented an
Insult to Americans.

Square of jaw, blue Of eve and with
his cheeks burnt to a healthy brown
which bespoke a life at sea, Edwa I'd
E. Wilson, seafarer hailing from In
dianapolis, Ind, recently walked into
The Star Office and told a story of ad-
venture during the past three years
which would have made Robert Louis
Stevenson blush could he have heard
IL. This story, sworn to in the form OF
ar affidavit by Mr.. Wilson, is herewith
repeated.
1t transpired that on the sth of Feb
ruary, 1918. Mr. Wilson left Pensacola
Fla.,zon three-masted bark bound for
South America. After three-month
trip he took service with the British
Royal mail ship, Demara. sailing be-
tween Buenos Aires and Liverpool, sub
sequently changed to the McIver line,
and then to the Johnson line between
Liverpool and Baltimore
Left Penniless in Peru.
The real story starts with his taking
service on branch line plying between
Liverpool and the west coast of South
America. Taken sick in Callao, Peru,
he was put ashore at Chile and left in
the hospital at Talachauana. According
to Mr.. Wilson, he spent two months in
the hospital and on being dismissed
went to George W. Steele, the British
consul in that town, and endeavored to
obtain from him his pay and his
clothes. etc. He was informed that
nothing had been left for him.
Mr.. Wilson claims that the seaman's
act of Englands board of trade con-
tains provision by which he should
have been sent back to Liverpool. This
privilege. he said. was denied him on
the grounds that he was an American
citizen. He then went to the American
consul at Talachauana and was in
formed that inasmuch as he had been
signed under British articles no as
sistance could be given him At that
consulate.
Without funds he was forced to re-
main in South America until July. 1914,
when he went to Valparaiso, where he
signed articles with the British steam
trade. Arriving at Antofasto. Chile, the
crew was informed that they would be
expected to stay aboard at Valparaiso.
Having been paid off, he made futile
effort to get ashore and finally at 80
o'clock In the morning got away from
the ship in a small boat. Reporting to
the American consul and telling him
his story, he was advised by him to go
back and Join his ship.
Forced on English Ship.
To pick up the narrative In Mr.. Will
sons own words:
IT told him I had no desire to sail on
an English ship and demanded my
rights as an American citizen. The
consul grew angry and called his negro
porter to throw me out of the ONCE.
threw him out; told the consul I would
do the same with him If not accorded a
more courteous hearing and after a

SW|NDLED OUT Of $1,000
BY CONFIDENCE SCHEME
Kansas Mans Statement at Trial
of Man He Accuses
of Fraud.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June s.
George W. Cowles. a farmer and banker
of Talmo. Kan. met two confidence men
while on his way to attend Billy
Sunday meeting in Kansas City. Mo;
later was swindled out of $4,000 and
was prevented from losing another
$4,000 by the Chicago police. accord
ing to the story he told Judge James
Deery of the city court at the hearing
of the case of Arthur Denham, thirty
who is charged with being a fugitive
from justice. AS result of Cowles'
testimony. Denham is in jail here to-
day, awaiting extradition to Chicago.
Denham was arrested in the crowd
here for the automobile race on Me-
mortal day.
Man Who Never Lost a Bet.
One of the confidence men scraped
acquaintance with Cowles and then
the man who never lost a bet on
race horse" They later went to a
poolroom and Cowles won few small
bets Then CoWles put up $4,000
check and won, but he was told he
to show that his check was good.
Cowles deposited the money and was
then informed that Denham's partner
had placed another bet and lost all
the money. Cowles said Clark then
beat up his partner shamefully."
Stopped by Police.
Cowles testified he did not lose con-
fldence in Clark and met him later in
Chicago, where the same plan was be-
ing worked, but that he was stopped
by the Chicago police while on his way
to put up $1,000 in cash. Cowles said
he was indignant when taken in
charge by the Chicago police and in
sisted on being permitted to put up the
money. When the police reached the
pool room the confidence men were
gone.
Cowles said he was worth about
100000.
