AHGED 1 AMERICAN
 IN STRANGE MIXUP
Took Another Mans Place and
 Finds Himself in Trouble

sydney, Australia, July 31.-Unless Reginald Harkins, ships fireman, who describes himself as an American citizen. was allowed to land from the Canadian Australian liner Makura Swhen that vessel reached Vancouver upon her last voyage from here 10 that port, or he managed to land somewhere en route, he runs the risk cific indefinitely.
 Harkins' account of himself. given in Sydney just before the Makura sailed firm here early in June with bim on board, was as follows:
 Back in January a man with the same name as I reached Vancouver on this boat. He asked for a day off, but the chief engineer refused him. He went ashore without leave, got into a street fight, had his leg broken and was taken to hospital. The chief engineer reported him a de- Serter. The Canadian authorities ar rested me as being the Reginald Har- kins who had deserted.
 They put me on board the liner Niagara bound for Sydney. I didn't want to go. so when the steamer reached Honolulu I left her. At the
 
 company. agents for the Cnadian-Aus tralian boats. the immigration au- thorities at Honolulu arrested me and forcibly put me on board the Makura. Not wanting to be idle, I worked as a stoker from Honolulu. I signed on at 14 pounds sterling a month. WhenAI reached here I couldn't get my money and the Canadian authori- ties wouldn't let me off the ship.
 ''I was born in Omaha. Nebraska. 42 years ago. I left America when I was seven years old. I came to Aus tralia and stayed here until I was :5. Since then I have travelled about the world in ships. When I was brought on board this boat (the Makura) at Honolulu. the chief engineer and the purser admitted that I was not the man who went off the boat at Van couver. but in spite of all that the Captain took me out to sea-
 Harkins complained further that or the strength of promises by the GUS toms authorities at Sydney that he would he released from detention or the Makura if he signed a certificate that he was an alien. He signed the paper. but the promise was not kept The American consul here, F.. J. Nor ton took up Harkins' case. but was unable to do anyt hing on the mans behalf. because of lack of proper proof of American citizenship.
 ''The whole thing" he said. goes back to the action of the Canadian authorities

TWO NEW BOOKS

Of interest to book readers are the recent publica tions. by the Cosmo- politan Publishing company. of Peter R. Kyne's latest novel. Kindred of the Dust" and You" from the pen Of Irving R. Allen.
 Kindred of the Dust ran in serial form in the Cosmopolitan and now appears in a volume. The story breathes the virility of the versatile kyne, at his best when writing stories of the rgged men of outdoor life, and tells a narrative of love in the great Northwest. The dominant theme of the story is a strong mans love for a woman and his steadfast belief in her under all conditions Hector McKaye, father of Donald McKaye is a man as hard as the country in which he lives. The son inherits his fathers will and strength and refuses to bend when the older frowns upon his match with Nan of the Sawdust Pile" known as the outcast of Port Az new. Interestingly woven into the narrative is life in the lumber camps of the Northwest and from there the reader is easily carried to the battle fields of France where young Me Kaye finds himself. The climax of
 
 pected of one of Kayne's stories. The story is well balanced throughout and succeeds in holding the readers in terest, though possibly there is one incident that appears rather hard to believe. One is when young Mckaye plunges into the icy waters of the river to rescue a man who turns out to be his father. During the terrible, exhausting fight for life father fails 10 recognize son and the latter slips away in the dusk leaving his father ignorant of who saved him.
 Irving R. Aliens You" is decid- edly not a novel. It is not a story to be read for recreation. It is strict ly text and contains an analysis of ones self whereby a person, by in dustriously following out the advice given cannot help but become more efficient in his chosen path and a happier. more contented individual. There is none but who might profit by reading, or rather studying, this book.

 ELWELL MURDER

William Mayhew washburn of New York City, but who formerly re- sided in 5B1ack Rock, at the corner of Brewster Street, the site now occu- pied by the government houses, sur rendered. a -45 calibre revolver to As sistant District Attorney Dooling, who has charge of the investigation of the Elwell murder mystery. 4 Elwel1, who was found dead in his apartment 45 days ago, was slain by a bullet from a AS calibre automatic.
 The Washburns are very well known in social circles in this city, being members of the Brooklawn Country ciub. Watson M. Washburn, a younger brother. now ranked as one of the leading tennis players of the country, was for a number of years a very familiar figure on the tennis courts of the Country club. Lucy Washburn, a sister, married Sidney Wood, a afmember Of one of the old Bridgeport families. The Washburn family itself was connected with the Richardson family of New York of the Spite House" fame.
 Washburn has denied that he knew Elwell- Last October he married Margaret Clarkson and among the wedding gifts was a check for $200 from Elwell. After the wedding trip the mattert of the check was mention ed and Washburn says he drew his check for. that amount and sent it back to ,Eiwell as he could not allow his wifehto accept it, for the reason that he did not know Elwell
 The Washburns were brought into the murder mystery through the me- dium of letter found in the Elwell home addressed to Mrs. Washburn. It was written by a mutual friend and after Mrs Washburn had-read it she sent it to Elwell thinking he might be interested in hearing from his friends at Palm Beach.
