Gold Not Found

A PACIFIC PORT, Dec. 23.-The
Russian freighter Shilka, Captain
Boris Dogal, which, unheralded,
slipped into the harbor here late Fri
day night, direct from Vladivostok, is
under Bolshevik control, it became
known to-day.
a number of the Shilks's sailors
were fraternizing on the docks to-day
with party of alleged Industrial
Workers of the World, twenty-one Of
whom were arrested by Federal Off
cisls and held for Investigation.
Among those taken into custody were
thirteen Russians. None of the sail
ors was arrested.
Soon after the vessels arrival a re-
port was circulated TO the effect that
she had brought fund of 100000 il
gold for the defence of several scores
of Industrial Workers Of the World
now awaiting trial at Chicago on con-
spiracy charges. The United States
District Attorney here admitted he had
heard Of the report, and Federal agents
searched the vessel, but found no gold,
knowledge Of which was denied by the
captain and crew. Another search will
be made when the cargo of licorice
root and beans is discharged.
Following Bolshevik principles, the
Shilka, il was said, is really under the
command of a committee of five-four
sailors and one officer. This commit
tee has the power to overrule any or
der of Captain Dogal az any time, but
members of the crew stated that this
unique division of authority had
caused no trouble on the voyage across
the Pacific.
The crew has been forbidden to leave
the vessel, and fifty cadets from a naval
training school, working in three re-
lays under the command OF commits
stoned officers, are guarding the ship.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Ths suspension
Of the Berlin "Yorwaerts" is considered
as warning 10 the entire German
press that it must curb its tongue in
the discussion of internal German con-
ditions. Although the "Vorwaerts" for
a long time has been in the hands Of
the so-cal'ed government controlled
Socialists" it recently printed an at
tack on Food Controller Won Wsldow
and also some very outspokeu editorials
regarding internal conditions in Ger
many.
The official reason given for the sus-
pensian of the newspaper is that "the
article denouncing the militaristic par
tvs demands for the annexation of large
sections of Russian territory is consid-
cred likely to stir up trouble"
The Hungarian Premier, in an ad-
dress before the Diet Saturday, defend
ed the censors for suppressing articles
along the latter line, saying:
"The newspapers must not give the
enemy ground for supposing that an
archistic conditions prevail in Hungary,
especially now. with peace negotiations
proceeding. The authorities will act
with the greatest sternness in the in
terest of peace"
