Lewes, Del, March "a tall blond
haired young German giving his name
as Ernest Schiller is in the lookup here
tonight charged with piracy for having
captured British ship with crew Of
hfty-six men single-handed on the high
seas
Schiller slowed away on the British
steamship Matopho in HobOken and
crawied out Of the Hfeboat at o'clock
last night after the steamship had
cleared Sandy Hook lightship. With two
ugly looking revolvers. Schiller made his
way to the cabin Of Capt. Richard Berg
ner and took charge OF the vessel, which
was bound for Vladivostock, Siberia,
with barbed wire and railroad materials.
He kept the British captain a prisoner
in his cabin while he proceeded to the
wireless station and rounded up the two
wireless operators, smashing the wire
less outfit Schiller then marched the
two operators to the captains quarters,
and sent for the second engineer, to
whom he issued instructions to keep the
vessel on its course during the night
That he finally was captured and his
plans were frustrated, Schiller blames on
-four pals in Hoboken who backed out
and left me alone to go ahead without
them ..-..-...a -....s
VIII the second engineer, Schiller
also sent out word TO the other Off
GERS and the crew not to attempt to
rescue the captain under penalty of
certain death for his prisoners and
all hands on board. Schiller told Sec
ond Engineer Harris to notify the en-
tire crew that their life depended on
SchlIer's good humOr. because he had
mined the vessel and loaded its cargo
with bombs, which he could explode
at any moment he saw Mt.
Crew Obeys His Orders.
The life of every man of this ship
depends on absolute obedience to my
ORDERS" Schiller told his captives
See that they are carried out to the
letter if you value your life. If you
do as I tell you I shall endeavor to
save you all, and destroy the ship
without loss of life"
During the whole night the British
crew obeyed Schiller blindly. and
headed the vessel down the coast as
their captor commanded. after he
had ransacked the boat for papers,
money, and guns. He cody confis-.
Gated three revolvers he found among
the English officers. and also discov-
cred ten pounds in English money
and s12 in American currency.
In the morning Schiller went on
the bridge with the captain and or
dered the ship headed for the Della
ware Breakwater. He claimed that
he had assured himself that the cargo,
after all, was not such bad contra
band as he had suspected when he
smuggled himself on board, and that
the captains story during the night
about his wife and children in Eng
land had greatly impressed him. For
these reasons, Schiller announced that
he would spare everybody on board,
and give them chance to take to
the boats and land before the vessel
blew up. Nobody. however, was to

What To Do For
 Nervous Indigestion

{ When nerves go wrong they always 1 seem to strike at your weakest spot. When this spot happens to be the I stomach, nervous dyspepsia results, appetite vanishes and gives way to 1 dull, dread, uneasiness and a hollow, l gnawing feeling that keeps up until every nerve in your body seems on | edge. The food you force down won't | digest properly, and you're all in | down and out for one day at least
 so far as being really useful to your self or anyone else is concerned.
 1 It's the height of folly to force the digestion of food with some pepsin pill
 when the stomach nerves are in such shape. Nervous indigestion comes | from the nerves alone. Get the nerves right and all distress will vanish. Thanks to a remarkable chemical ! discovery, 1t is now possible to feed the nerve cells with the exact stimu Jus they require when overworked and unstrung and a preparation called
 Margo Nerve Tablets is producing re- markable results in the treatment of Nervous Dyspepsia, and other nerve disorders. They make a remarkable change, in many instances, in ten min
 utes by the watch, strengthening the stomach and charging the nerve cells l with strength, poise, power, and tre-
 mendous reserve energy and giving nerves of steel clear head and brain, courage, power, quick wit, and real vital vim. Margo Nerve Tablets can not harm anyone. They contain no dope or dangerous habit-forming 1 drugs. Forty tablets come in a large
 package, and this is often enough to give lasting relief to even the most obstinate cases. The Clark & Brain erd Drug Co.,, and other leading drug gists everywhere are selling them with a positive guarantee of satisfaction or money back.

DR. FLOWER, FAKE
 'HEALER,' IS DEAD
Dies Suddenly in Theater and Is
 Not Recognized

| New York, Oct. 5.-An old man dropped dead while attending a vaud- eville show with a party of friends in @ HobOken theater Sunday night, and so little was thought of the happen ing that no efforts were made then to learn the name of the old man from his friends. Not until yesterday did 1t become known that the dead man was pr. Richard c. Flower, who during a long and crowded criminal career had stolen more than $1,O0O,OO0 in varl- ous ways, mostly from women, and for many years had caused countless policemen to earn their wages.
 Flower and his wife had been living quietly in BayOnne since his release
 on August 1 last from the Blackwell's s Island penitentiary. His last jail term was a two years sentence meted out to him on December ', 1914, by Jus tice Davis in the criminal branch of the supreme court after Flower plead ed guilty to two charges of grand lar cency. Flowers age-he was seven ty-three years old-his failing health and his plea of guilt combined to save him from a much longer sentence.
 Flower went to the Lyric theater Hoboken, Sunday evening, accompan- jed by some of his old cronies. As the vaudeville show progressed he com- plained of illness. Then he suddenly sank back unconscious. A physician was summoned hurriedly, but Flower had died almost immediately. His body will be cremated today.
 Flowers early surroundings and in fuences were not of the sort that mako for a criminal career. His father, an estimable country clergyman, sent Flower to Northwestern university, where the young man was graduated in the class of '6S. He studied law then and was 8 practising attorney for a while in the middle west, but soon gave up law to become a minister
 Then the pulpit pa1led on him and he took his first steps toward a crir.- inal life by becoming a fake "healer." Next he founded an alleged medical company, in which he sold stock by dubious methods.
 From this time on until his release from jail last summer Flower alias Prof. o. o. Oxford, alias Prof. Chas D. Downey, alias Prof. Johnson, was chronically at odds with the authori- ties because of his activities either as prom oter of fake mining stock, as an a1chemist with a hectic scheme for manufacturing diamonds and rubies, as a quack physician or high handed confidence man. His biggest haul hap pened when he persuaded the widow of Theodore Hagaman, one time prominent in the Street, to turn over ,nore than half her fortune of $1 1,000,- 900 to him to Invest" in one of his mum fake mining concerns.
 At the time of his last arrest In 1914 Flower had been a fugitive from jus tice for almost twelve years. The po- lice of this and other continents had been chasing him all that time, and finally found him in Toronto. Back in 1907 Detective Sergeant Barney Me- Conville told interviewers that at that time there were more than 500 indict- ments standing against Flower.

OYSTER BAY HOMES L00TED
Money and Jewels Valued at $1O,OOO Taken by Slick Thief-WOman Wakes and Sees Him Working.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Oct. 5.-The coun- try home colony of Oyster Bay was in vaded by burglars yesterday and money and jewels valued at $10,00O were taken from the homes of three of the wealthiest residents. The homes footed were those of Nelson Double day. son of F. N. Doubleday, the pub fisher; H. P. Erskine, New York archi- tect, and Phillips Abbott, all on the
 West Shore road.
 The Doub1edays suffered the larg-
 est loss, money and jewels to the
 value of about $7,000 being taken
 there. At the Erskine home several
 pieces of jeWelry and between $500
 and S4O0. was stolen. The intruder
 was scared from the Abbott home by
 the screams of Mrs. Arthur Bell Of
 New York, guest, whose room he
 was ransacking when she awoke. The
 only loot taken from the Abbott
 home was a smalE sum of money be- longing to MT. Abbott.
 The authorities have only a meagre l description of one Of the burglars, that furnished by Mrs. Bell. She was | awakened about o'clock in the morn l ing by hearing some one moving. She l switched on the light in a reading l lamp beside the bed and discovered a l man coatless and hatless picking up | jcwelry on the dresser. Her screams sent the thief fleeing. She was able to catch only a brief glimpse of his ! face, which she describes as being l smooth shaven and youthful.
 l This is the second big robbery in the summer colony within the last month. | Recently the home of c. H. Thieriot,
 a New York broker, was entered and
 money and jeWelry valued at $S,O00 | taken As in the case of the Thieriots, | the three families robbed this morn - l ing expressed absolute faith in the | servants.
 At the Doubleday and Erskine home both families were at home, but | were not disturbed. The detectives have been unable to discover how en- l trance was made, the theory prevail | ing that skeleton keys were used
