CONSUL POOLE
QUITS RUSSIA
IS ORDERED OUT BY LAM
SING, WHO FEARED FOR
AMERICAN.

Washington, Sept. 24-United
States Consul General Poole has
arrived at Helsingfors from Moscow
and is due in Stockholm tomorrow.
News that the consul general had
crossed the Finnish border in safe
ly reached the state department to-
daV in message from Helsingiors,
dated Sept. p. On its receipt, Sec
retary Lansing disclosed that week
ago he ordered Mr.. Poole, the last
American official remaining at the
holSheyik capital, to leave Russia.
The dispatch brought no informa
tion concerning the British and
French consular officers wto are
detained by the bolshevik, and to aid
whom Poole insisted upon remain
ing at his post until ordered away.
1t developed today that an un-
Substantiated rumor n t y
reached the state department that
the American consulate general at
Moscow was being besieged by the
bolsheyik because British and
French officials were given refuge
there. Secretary Lansing said he
did not believe this report was true,
bu, because OF the rumor and the
known seriousness OF the situation
at Moscow, lie had directed Mr.
Poole TO leave.
The United States consul general
ported that the Norwegian consuls
at Moscow and Petrograd have been
untiring in their efforts on behalf OF
American citizens and American in
terests in Russia. Their firm in
sistance upon the rights of Amer
leans to leave Russia, and in giving
them refuge in their consulates has
saved Americans from most serious
difficulties in that country.

SEEK ADE QUATE
PENALTY TO FIT
NEGRO'S 0FFENSE
OFFICERS PUZZLED OVER
PROSECUTION OF PORTER
HELD IN JAIL

Lee Jones, negro employed as a
porter at the Wilmington hotel, who
has given the officers much trouble
in the past, is in the county jail,
while the sheriff and prosecuting
attorney are trying to find punish
ment adequate to the offense with
which the negro is charged,
A'man came here from Texas, en-
gagged in government work, and
brought his wife with him. They are
stopping at the Wilmington hotel.
Yesterday the negro went to their
room twice and asked the woman il
she rang for ice water. She said she
did not and the negro insisted that
the bell rang. Again he came back
and handed her letter. addressed
simply 10 the number OF her room.
The letter was poorly written, with
many misspelled words, and was as
follows:
Miss, ! sure would like to come
and call on you il it is acceptable
with you. Say, love, don't get angry,
Tor you know, man has to ask TO
find out. fell in love with you in
the dining room. Say, love, don't
take this for no insult. Answer at
once.
PAT RYLEY."
Sheriff Buck Garrett was called
and went to the hotel and got the
negro. He was impudent and denied
writing the letter, saying he got it
from a white man, who had loafed
all day in the lobby OF the hotel. The
sheriff found in the negro's pocket
a letter he had written his mother
at Dallas, Texas, and found the
handwriting in the two letters to be
identical.
As the woman wore number OF
valuable diamonds, the officers be-
lleved the negro might have been
trying to gain access to her room and
steal the diamonds. The woman'S
husband was away at the time and
on his return Sheriff Garrett avoid
ed him and hurried the negro TO
Jail for safe keeping.
The negro can possibly be con-
yicted OF disturbing the peace, but
that appears to be about as lar as
the law goes in providing punish
ment in this kind OF a case.
