Strange Story of Nathan Cohen
 Providence JournaI)

The wanderings of one Nathan Cohen, who. through no fault of his own became "a man without a coun- try are brought to an end, summer fly. He is dead.
 Fortunately, his Wanderings had heen suspended for some while pre- viously, thanks to the human inter vention of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigration Aid Society of New York and the Knights of Pythias, which latter organization he chanced to join before he became the strangest
 cf human derelicts. His amazing "case,' without parallel in immigra- tion annals, remains unsettled, but that does not matter now.
 His story has been told from time to time. It was the occasional para graph about him, going the rounds of the newspapers. that caused iden- tification as the missing member of a Pythian lodge at Jackonsville, Florida from which point the meas ures taken for his relief began. Four years ago he was admitted to the United States, an immigrant from Brazil. Tn his thirties, physically and
 mentally sound, he was of the "de-
 sira ble' class, and besides he had several thousand dollars in cash. But two years later the business he had
 gone into was wrecked, and that coupled with domestic misfortune wrecked his mind. Becoming a pub lie charge within three years of his landing, deportation was his fate. Up to this stage Nathan Cohen's case was only a routine item in the annals of the immigration service 1 Eut when the steamship line that had brought him here carried him l hack to Brazil, the authorities at Rio refused to receive him. He was ship ped to the United States again, en- 1 trance was refused and back he went l to Brazil.
 He might have been shuttlecocked, thus, down to the equator and up again to the day of his death, a prob lem for the immigration authorities at Rio and New York that had no
 solution, but for the intervention of i private agencies whose activities are not confined by infexible regulations. As transp item, the stem
 ship company figures that he travelled
 moro than thirty thousand miles on
 the steerage ticket for which he had
 paid originally forty-five dollars
 , It does not appear that Nathan
 Cohen suffered any hardship from
 this treatment beyond what was in
 separate from the curiously 2, cruel : effect of automatically and soullessly
 operating law. The ships officers were kind to him. And in the course
 of his voyaging his reason was re-
 stored, so that he was able to assist
 the inquiry for his birthplace, which ] proved to be Russia. It was the idea
 Of those who had interested them selves in his case to send him to Russia as soon as the war was over. With that understanding, after pro- tracted negotiations, coupled with a guarantee that Cohen should not be- fcome public charge in the interval, l all fortified by bond, he was at last 1 permitted to land in the United 1 States. It may be surmised, had the Wanderer lived, that new trouble would have been found in attempting to return him to Russia.

His knowledge of town affairs both financial and political, is r second to none. He is third select man and member of the school board. Always a keen student of \ town political affairs, MT. Moore will now have a chance to display his ability as leader. It has been some time since the democrats have been N Tn power in the town, but With lead a CT of MT. Moore's personality and the fumored break in the republican 3 ranks it may be possible for party S to Some to the fore. Informal plans a for the coming campaigns were dis 3 cussed, but nothing definite was done W st the meeting.

LIEUT.. FAY EXAMINES
 HIS OWN WITNESSES
Declares His Counsel Unable to Prop erly Conduct His Case-Request
 Granted and Then Refused

New York, May 1.-Lieut Robert Fay of the Germany army, on trial here with two others, charged with conspiring to blow up vessels laden with munitions for the entente allies, today was extended the privilege by Judge Howe of cross examining unfriendly witnesses. He as- serted that his attorney was not properly conducting that detail of the case.
 Edward Brecker, reported employed by the New York World was on the wit ness stand when Fay sprang to his feet and asked to conduct the cross-examina- tion. My counsel,'' said said, cannot with many details of this case''
 Gays lawyer, former Assistant District Attorney Unger, appeared stunned and the court adjourned to permit a confer ence between MT. Unger and the pris- oner. MT. Unger explained later that Fay had failed to tell him many things, and for that reason. he said, it might be best to grant Fay's request
 Although I have never heard of such a proceeding" said Judge Howe, "In view of the fact that Fay is foreigner and that his counsel consents, I shall permit the prisoner to examine the wit ness within certain bounds"
 Fay then obtained affirmative answers from the witness to a series of questions directed to show that he discussed war munitions with Brecker.
 Judge Howe, however, interrupted Fay and refused to permit further question ing when the prisoner said he was seek ing to show that his many statements were given out for what he described as a "set purpose"

GANGN|ER GIVEN
 FIVE DAYS NOTICE Charley Frank Confirms Report That Gangnier
 Will Be Released

Atlanta, May 1.-(Special.) )-Eddie Gang nier, second baseman, who started the season with the local Southern associa- tion team, has been given his uncondi- tional release, it was learned here today.
 Manager Charley Frank of the Atlanta club confirmed the report last night to a representative of The Age-Herald. Gang nier has not been released as yet, but he has been given his five days notice, which means that he is now dickering for a new home.
 Gangnier has been playing second base for the Crackers since the start of the season and has failed to get his eye on the pill until recently. Lii Marcan, the former Baron, is also a member of the Crackers, as is Clancey, the former Gull. Frank has two second seekers on hand at the present. One will suffer the ax on or before May IA, when the player limit of IA men goes into effect.
 Gangnier has not appeared in the Crackers lineup since Friday when he played second against the Barons at Redwood Field. In the series in Atlanta last week, Gangniers hitting was respon- sible for three Of the four defeats ad- ministered Moley's crew. It is thought that Gangnier will be unable to find a berth in the Southern league.

GIVEN DOUBLE DEFEAT BY
 SPRING HILL NINE
Bowman Defeated in Pitch ers' Battle With Bien- venu-Spring Hill Out
 plays Crimson

Mobile, May 1.-The Purple and White of Spring Hill college floated triumph antly over the Monroe park baseball dia- mond Monday afternoon when the base ball team representing the local college twice defeated the team from the Uni versity of Alabama.
 The scores were to and ? to l. Darkness ending the last game when Spring Hill scored the winning run. Though the Spring Hill boys were far younger and much lighter than the team representing the state institution, they outplayed their opponents in each game.
 The first affair was a batfest and was won on hits and on the bases. At this the Spring Hillians excelled. The second was pitching battle, and again the Purple and White had something on the visitors, when Bienvenu, spitballer, outpitched Bowman, dated the best pitcher in the s. l. A. A.
 Every college affair of any kind all ways produces a hero, and while all the Hill boys played great ball, Dick Ching, Mobile boy, won most of the laurels. He pitched good ball in the first game in addition to hitting hard and scoring runs. In the second affair, he was called into the game as a pinch hitter. He got on DaSe SLOle ana scored Iduer Wltn the winning run. Benvenu who had pitched the second game in sensational manner, furnished the bunt for a squeeze play" which sent Ching across the rubber with the winning tally.
 Three Alabama twirlers were used in the first game and all were treated rather roughly by Spring Hill batsmen. The local college lads held lead up until the seventh inning of the first af- fair when Alabama tied it. Then Spring Hill promptly united it with two tallies in the eighth, which held good through Alabama's last inning.
 Bowman and Bienvenu fought out a pretty pitching battle in the second game. The HilIians scored in the third and took the lead. Alabama tied it in the fourth with run. Through the fifth and sixth and through the seventh for Alabama no runs were made. Then as darkness set tied over the field Spring Hill won out in the seventh. Scores:
