BABY PRIZE GOES
 ID ELMER [. TONER

Of the red-booded youngsters en- tered in the baby contest at the Amuzu theater, Elmer George Toner, the six months old son of MT. and Mrs. Sam uel Toner. of 7G2 East Jefferson street, rolled up a plurality of about 2l00 votes and thereby drew down the honors of being the most popular baby. In addi tion a handsome diamond locket was awarded to him.
 The contest has been on for about one month. Nearly two hundred babies were entered and no end of interest was shown in the affair. Fond par ents and doting friends and relatives worked day and night for the little one of their choice. Toward the last the interest became .ntense and there was never a moment but that the re- suit was quite in doubt.
 Probably the proudest parents in Phoenix late Monday night were MT. and Mrs. Toner when the result was announced from the AmuZu stage. They have asked The Republican to heartily thank all the friends who worked for little Elmer George and especially Manager Richards who en- gineered the contest to such success ful finish.

LONE GERMAN CAPTURES BRIT
IsH STEAMER mATcPPo.
Teuton Pirate Confines Captain Of
Ship in the Cabin and Dis
ables Wireless.

Lewes, Del, April 1.-The British
steamer Matoppo put in at this port
on Thursday with a thrilling tale Of
piracy A German stowaway, armed
with two rpvolvers, had come within
a hairs breadth of capturing single
handed the vessel and its cargo of war
munitions destined for Russia.
Ernest Schuler, the German, IS III
der arrest. He Is in, irona at ff6ssA
eTal customs house in Lewes. He has
in his possession money and papers
belonging to the captain. Nothing
can be learned about him.
The Matoppo weighed anchor at
Sandy Hook at night, bound for Vladi-
vostok with a cargo of war materials
landed at New York Two hours later
Schuler came out of his hiding place
He put the wireless ont of opera
tfon, forced the captain into a cabin
at the point of his guns, searched his
papers and the ships safe and until
morning was In complete control of
the ship.
The officers and crew of the ship
were terroriZed through the night by
the mans declaration that he had
placed bombs in different parts of the
ship and that the vessel would be
blown to bits if they tried to attack
him.
After running the ship for a night
Schuler was responsible for his own
undoing. About noon, when the
steamer was off Rehoboth bay. Della
ware, he insisted on being put ashore.
He was put over in a pilot boat, still
with his two guns, and made for the
shore.
In the meantime the Matoppo ran
up a signal asking for immediate as
sistance. 1t was seen by the super
intendent of the maritime exchange
reporting station at the Delaware
breakwater and the federal coast
guard crew at Lewes Immediately put
off in its large power launch.
The launch reached Schuler's boat
just as he was approaching the beach
at Rehoboth. Sehuler was ordered to
surrender and come into the launch.
He threw his revolvers overheard and
came in He was taken to the Gus
toms house and cIapped in irons.
Search is being made for bombs on
the ship
