Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Iewos, June 24-The companies en-
gagged in the manufacture of fish oil and
fertilizer here employ 275 men ut the
rendering plants and 220 men on the six
boats engaged in catching fish. q.
Iewes beach at night resembles q
northern ocean resort with its gittering
electrical display. Lights from fishing
steamers. government vessels anchored
near blinking lighthouses, and from COM
missary buildings, sleeping barracks,
eating houses, storehouses and rendering

All night operations continue, from dock

laden with fish, until the oil Is extracted
and tanked and fertilizer stored. Elcvat--

Catching fish is a matter Of weather and
speculation. Steamers operate IN pairs
and start out early in the morning TO
sight schools Of fish Just now the season is
heaviest on the Chesapeake Bay, as boat
men say Delaware waters are full Of blue
fish. which are chasing away the fish from
which oil is extracted. The season here is
from June to December, after which work
is resumed in the warm waters further

Formerly oil was shipped in barrels, but
5.00O-gallon tank cars are now used.
Yard reserve tanks hold $4,000 gallon,
which is sold according to stock market
quotations.

CARS JEWELS
IN i. S. HANDS
Sent to Ludwig C. A. K. Martens,
BoIshevist Envoy, by Soviet
Government.
FOUND ON A SWEDISH SAILOR
Precious Stones, Supposed to Have
Formed Part Of Famous Jewels Of
Russian Royal Family, Un-
earthed by Federal Officers.

Observation-Disclosures by bolshevist
agents In precious stones supposed to
nave formed part of the famous jewels
OF the Russian royal family, has been
unearthed by federal authorities.
The 131 diamonds found on Nells
jacobson, Swedish sailor, by customs
on1cials In New York July %, it be-
came known, were inclosed In q pack
age addressed to "Comrade Martens"
Using this as a lead, federal officials
began an investigation which they de-
clare has definitely connected Ludwig
y. A. X. Martens, self-styled soviet am
bassador to the United States, with the
traffic.
Disclosure Of the fact that the pack
age was intended for soviet agents In
this country was withheld by customs
authorities when Jacobsen was arrest
ed, although the details as to the seiz-
ure of the jewels themselves were then
made public.
Identifies Martens Aid.
Jacobsen, officials say, identified
during the course of the investigation
a photograph of Santeri Nuorteva. for
mer secretary of Martens as a person
to whom previous packages had been
delivered.
Introduction of the alleged incrimi-
natOry evidence of the traffic In pre-
ciOus stones between soviet representa-
tives In this country and abroad at the
last hearing in the last deportation
proceedings against Martens resulted
In poStponemcnt of further hearings to
enable the selfstyled ambassador to
obtain evidence, if possible, in refuta-
ton of the charges
Counsel for Martens already has
asked that the government commits
sion be sent to Stockholm to investi-
gate the system in which he Is &C.
cused of being implicated.
Perfect Courier System,
Begun six months ago, the SNUG
Cling Is described by government Off
Gals as the most perfectly organized
courier service between bolshevist
agents abroad and in the United
States that has been discovered.

from the possession of the Swedish

work and strove frantically to outri-
val one another In painting and plas-
terlng various rooms. Their task COM
pleted, the co-operatOrs moved In,
heavily In debt as 1t might seem to the
unco-operative. Actually, however,
they were paying interest on their own
debts, and not on the debts OF some
landlord. That interest, together with
substantial monthly payments on prin-
cipal, taxes. general upkeep, and 9TH
er expenses, amounted to considerably
less than they would have paid In
rent for apartments of the same size.
Each family had a light, hve-room
apartment, with all modern improve
ments including telephone. hot ana
cold water, a bath room and kitchen
(not kitchenette) and for these &C.
commodations they paid into the COM
mon building fund $26.35 month.
Then Came the Rush!
AS 1t became known that such homes
could be obtained at such remarka-
bly, low price, the first six co-operators
were overwhelmed with applications
from other families, who wished to
ioIn the movement. The house was
soon full of tenants, but so great was
the demand for similar accommodate
lions that another cooperative group
was organized to build second apart
ment house. This time the co-opera-
tors were not so timid in risking their
money, and decided that their mouse
should be even bigger with even great
er cOnvenienGes.
Incidentally, II was to cost $4,000
more, due not to the added improve
ments but to the increased cost of
building materials. The cost of the
latter rose SO rapidly that third
group, which was Oh the point OF or
ganization, decided to defer building
until conditions became trif1e less
chaotic and the cost Of bricks went
down.
Envy Of Less Enterprisins.
This was two years ago. Today,
these progressive, cooperative Firms
are the envy of all their less enterpris
ing nsighbors. They are enjoying
warm. comfortable and convenient
homes at small cost at time when
many individuals are reduced to IN
comfortable makeshifts and all are de-
pendent on the none too tender mer-
cies of their landlords
Each family 10 permitted to pay on
its share of the principal as rapidly as
possible, and several of theci have
nearly achieved complete ownership nf
their apartments Others. moving to
other cities, have been compelled rc-
lu"nntly to part with theirs. only
one restriction is placei Oh the sale OF
an apartment, and that Is the provi-
sion that only one apartment may he
owned by each family--in order to
maintain the true cooperative nature
Of the colony.

to make the most of Il e motto on our
national currency, 'In union there Is
