NERVES SNAP UNDER STRAIN
Ladies' Tailor Wants to Be Sent Back
to Austria Where Machines
Are Idle.

Greenwich, Conn.-Felix Boehimer,
an Austrian, a resident Of Greenwich,
Conn.,. formed himself into a parade
of one and marching into Greenwich's
police headquarters informed Chief
Talbot that unless he were placed in
a cell forthwith he would go out and
smash windows.
Considerations of public tranquility
as well as of the mounting price of
glass moved the chief to comply, and
then after Boehimer had sunk into a
slumber and come out Of 1t again he
questioned him.
"That," said Boehimer, referring to
the sleep from which he had Just
awakened, sis the first I have had in
five years. I am employed by a
ladies' tailor here, and my condition
bespeaks the present craze of woman
kind for clothes and then more
clothes. Now have me sent back to
Austria. l know there is practically
nothing to eat there, but at least the
sewing machines are idle also and a
man may take his rest"

nized in Boston harbor. He bought
the Winsor some years ago and all
last winter and during the preceding
summer he had spent most Of his
spare time in remodeling the boat for
the long voyage. The frail craft sailed
from Boston harbor late in August.
C%ablegrams, letters and clippings from

the vessel at the port of Angra one

Friends of the Rio family said that

voyage achieved a happy conclusion

AMUNDSEN IS HELD BACK AT
 CAPE SERGE

Severe ice conditions along the north coast of Siberia had effectual- ly prevented Capt. Raold Amundsen from getting fairly started on his contemplated journey across the pol ar ice cap up to the last week in August, according to information reaching Nome on the Lindeberg fishing tug Orion, which returned from walr;ls hunting expedition extending as far to the westward as Cape Serge. says the Nugget
 Those on board the Orion reported that the Maud had been ice bound short distance from Cape Serge for some time prior to their arrival at that point. Owing to it's smaller size the Orion was able to make her atiOn ship and the crews of the two vessels exchanged frequent visits. Capt Hekila of the Orion also took several moving pictures of the Maud in the ice pack. The Orion party learned that the Maud had been shut in between shore and the ice pack almost from the time of her ar rival off Cape Serge The ice lay in an almost solid mass for distance of approximately one hundred miles north Of the Maud's position and moved very little. This condition prevailed for days and prevented any progress northward
 During the latter days of August. however, the ice opened along the shore to some extent and the Maud was able to make her way to the westward. When last seen by the Orion crew she was steadily work ing her way through the pack in search of an opening to the north.
 The Orion encountered ice along practically the entire distance be tween East Cape and Cape Serge and was frequently unable to make progress because of the ice en- croaching on the shore. The Maud was the only vessel encountered along that section but it was learned that the Polar Bear was somewhere in the vicinity of the Kolyma river, far to the westward
 Returning the Orion picked up one of party of several prOspectors left in the kOlyuchian bay section by the Casco last year and returned Tim to Nome. He informed those on the Orion that the party spent the winter and spring in exploring the streams in that locality but had found nothing
 The Orion succeeded in securing a considerable number of walrus skins and oil during the trip.
