CASEY" BOAT OFF
 ON LONG VOYAGE

New York, April 23.---The ninety foot auxiliary yacht Maraya which left this port few days ago on voyage to Lima, Peru, reported today by wireless that she was well on her way to sea. The small vessel is in charge of Captain Alfred Camel, and a crew of men gathered by the Knights of Columbus employment service at 18th Street and Broad way.
 The Maraya will travel during the daylight hours on a course that will keep her well toward the coast line. Her first stop will be one of the isl ands of the West Indian group, Ha- vana, Cuba, Jamaica and the Panama Canal. The men whom the K of c. recruited for the unique ocean joy ride,'' will be paid $2oO gold per month and a bonus upon the delivery of the craft to Senor Carlos Valencia, a wealthy exporter of Lima
 A small wireless outfit will allow the vessel to keep in touch with coast radio stations. When favorable winds

are encountered the Maraya will buff fet the gulf stream with both engine and sail power. The 5000 odd miles may be covered in two months sailing. One of the reasons for sailing with in safe proximity to the coast is the danger at this season of encounter1ng stray hurricanes.
 At Panama, the vessel will have her tobacco, cigarettes and candy supplies replenished by the K. of C. station on the Canal Zone. All of the crew are ex-Navy men. Although only ten men were wanted 25O volunteered for the opportunity to make the voyage.

DANIELS0N EDITOR
ADMITS HE ERRS
Saws He Made a Mistake In
Nc;ci-r C-itic;-r, of Putnam
Common Councils Action
Now Realizes That City Fathers We're
Showing Their Good Will

Last week appeared in the Daniel
son Transcript caustic and sarcastic
criticism Of the action taken by tbs
common council Of Putnam in show
ing its good will and appreciation fol
the splendid work done at the time Of
the Hotel Chickering fire by members
of the Captain Put. Engine Company
Of Daniclson.
The Patriot voiced the opinion thai
the criticism would not receive the
endorsement of the officials Of the
borough or by the officers and men Of
the Danielson fire department. II
this The Patriot was right, for in The
Transcript of Thursday appears the
following under the caption--"An
Apology"
"We were in error, and freely ac-
knowledge it, in permitting ourselves
to give voice to the criticism express
ed by local resident over the action
taken by the Putnam City Council in
voting $50 to the Captain Put. Engine
Company as an expression OF appreer
alton for the services rendered by the
Danielson firemen during the recent
fire in the Chickering Hotel, Putnam
Never having heard of such case be-
fore and misunderstanding the spirit
that prompted the action OF the City
Council, we were led astray--but not
for long. We now understand that
the Putnam City Fathers were show
ing their good will and appreciation
to Danielson by voting their appropri-
alton and were not seeking to REIN
burse Danielson for valued services
rendered.
eve regret we were so easily infiu-
enced with the chatter of one we had
confidence in and that we permitted
ourselves to write and print the criti-
cism, which now proves unfair, and
we offer our apologies to Putnam and
its City Council"

Muire would be in the position of on

claimed the car and convinced him
that the claimant was the real owner
and that therefore he let the car go
1t is easy to see that under such cir.
cumstances no one would reimburse
Muire for his loss.
Under the action as started, the re.

loss he may have sustained by having
it judicially determined that the cal

his possession by having it turned
back to the lawful owner.
This same legal status holds good in
each case where it is alleged cars
have been stolen and effort is made
by other than legal procedure to get
possession of the car from one in
rightful possession against all except
the legal owner.

FIRE THREATES
TATEM FACTORY
Boiler House Burns In Blaze
Wednesday Morning
Quick Response of Firemen Saves
Big Loss

Through the quick response of
members of the Putnam fire depart
ment to call to the handle factory
of j. 3. Tatem & Son, Florence
street, Wednesday morning, the mill,
wooden structure, was saved. The
fire, which broke out in the boiler
house, a separate building, although
attached to the main building, was
confined to that building, which was
Quilted. The walls, being of cement,
remain, but the roof and other wood
en- parts were burned. The damage
will amount to $1,000 or $4,000 cover
ed by insurance.
The fire was discovered by people
living near the factory who saw flames
bursting through the roof. AS soon
as the alarm was given the motor
truck left fire headquarters closely
followed by team of horses drawing
sled on which was hose, ladders,
axes and other appliances that have
been kept for emergency since the
big storm.
The truck was able to get near
enough to a hydrant so that two lines
Of hose could be attached and with
one line playing on the east end of
the building and the other taken into
the building to drive the fire back,
the main building was saved although
the end eau ght fire several times. For
tunately there was no wind or the mill
would without doubt have gore as the
fire would have gained more head
way before the department arrived.
Just how the fire started is not
known, but it is believed to have
caught from the boiler.

Through their attorney, Charles L.
Torrey, writs Of replevin have beer
served the past week in favor of Ma
poleon Muire of Providence street
this city, and the Royal Exchange In
surance Company Of New York, to
recover possession of two automo-
biles. The first writ was served on
Maurice and Robert Diamond, pro-
prietors of Diamond Bros. Garage
Bridge street, last Friday. This was
in favor of Napoleon Muire and was
to recover possession of a Buick auto
mobile which was taken from his pos
session by officers and put in the gar
age for safe keeping. 1t was taken
by the officers on the ground that il
was . stolen car.
These civil actions are the out
growth of the so-called "stolen car
investigations that have been going on
here for the past two weeks, the story
Of which iirst appeared in The Pa
triot. wherein the officers claim that
from eight to ten cars in this section
are under suspicion Of originally hav-
ing been stolen from the rightful
owners.
The civil actions of replevin have
been brought for the purpose of pro-
tecting the rights of those claiming
interest in the cars that the matter OF
ownership may be judicially deter
mined and that the men in possession
of the cars may seek reimbursement
from those who precede them in title
Otherwise these rights might be lost
Last week it was stated that the
Muire car was first brought into TINS
section by Arthur Pepin. This is not
the fact, however, as the car vas
bought by Mr.. Pepin from Roderiei
Miller. Miller, it is said, bought the
car from E. C. Rogers. Miller sold
the car to Mr. Pepin, who in turn sold
it to Muire.
