ened suicide in notes left to intimate
friends.
"A woman wrecked my life" he
is quoted as having conhded to ac-
quaintances.
He disappeared the latter part Of
March while divorce proceedings
were pending against him in district
court.
No trace has been found of him.
Close friends of the missing man
are still of the firm belief that he has
carried out his threats.
His former wife, Mrs. Grace Rife,
discredits this theory, saying: "He
hasn't the nerve"
"The worlds against me-" he told
an intimate acquaintance the day be-
fore he disappeared, taking a gun
with him.

l got an old book round the house
somewheres showin' pictures of our
Merchant Marine of 1900. First there
was the Clipper, so called cause she
was built for cuttin' close round the
Horn an other great necks of land.
Then there was the Brig. The Brig
was a fast boat built fer runnin'
down salt makeral. Fer smaller fish
they used what was called Briga-
tine. Marcellus says that the men

the men on a Brigatine was knowed

Ordinarily we might have built il
up again. But right after the civil
war the country was up against
great problem. The slaves was free
to go anywhere they wanted, but
there was nowhere to go. Discus
sin this question at the unveilin'
of the Chicago Board of Trade in
1865, President Johnson said:
"What this country has got to
have quick is Pullman cars. Our task
is only half done. Gird UP your
lions, my countrymen, an get
busy"
When asked who'd build the rail
roads fer the Pullman cars to run
on, President Johnson made his ia
nous reply:
Zone thing at a time. Never build
bridges till you come to 'em. First
build the Pullman cars, then we'll
see how much railroad we'll need to
accommodate EN-"
The sound common sense o. this
argument appealed to folks so that
they set to work an fergot about
the Merchant Marine. Up in the
North Sea the whales lay around
blubberin' an blowin' about the old

An idol of the town, Claridge was

INTERNATIONAL
 AIR RACES WILL
 BE HELD IN FALL
All Types of Heavier-Than Air Machines Expected
 to Participate.

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, May 10.- All types of heavier-than-air aerial craft, from the ligth speedster ma chimes to the freight carrying plane will be seen in action here Septem- Der 8, 9 and 10, when the inter national air races are to be held. Four races have been arranged, chief of which will be the free-for- all classic for the Pulitzer trophy.
 The first event will be for the freight carrying planes capable of 75 miles or more an hour. The course will be triangular. starting at Selfridge Field, and swinging around at the Aviation Country Club, west of Pontiac, the Packard Flying Field, Detroit, and back to Selfridge Field. The contestants will cover the course four times, total distance of 264 miles, and the three with the best elapsed time, start to finish, will divide s2,5OO. First prize will be $1,5O0; second $750 and third $250.
 The second event, also to be held September 8, will be for light ocm- mercial planes of the two seated type. It will be flown over the same course as the freight plane event, but the result will be deter- mined on point system, which will take into account speed in talk ing off and landing. Entrants must have a speed of 80 miles or better an hour. The prizes total $2,500.
 Over the same course the third event for light passenger planes capable of at least 90 miles an hour will be raced September 9. The point system of scoring will deter mine the division of $2,500 in prize money in this event.
 For the Pulitzer trophy, final event on the program, September 10, small course has been mapped out. It will be four times around tri- angular course totalling 160 miles.
 A minimum speed of i40 miles an hour is. expected of the light one-man machines that will enter the aerial classic. The shortest elapsed time for the four laps will determine the winner.
 The Pulitzer race, first held at Mitchell Field, Long Island, last year, is expected to attract flyers from Europe as we'll as the. United States.

5000 REFUGEES FROM KR0NSTADT
 HERDED IN CAMPS
American Red Cross Feeding Former Revolutionaries
 At Teriiojki, Finland.

TERIOJKI, Finland, May 10.-Th' 5000 refuges from the recent K:on stadt revolution in Russia who art quartered in Finnish concentration camps here and at Inc have jus given striking example of Bolshe vlk discipline
 The refugees are being fed by American Red Cross officers The other day, one of them was caught ty his fellows in the act of steal ing larger share of food than was due to him. -
 The others formed a committee tried the man. found him guilty of stealing food, and then appeared be fore a Red Cross officer.
 Please give us enough guns tc form firing squad" they requested We have found a man stealing food and will execute him immedi ately."
 Informed that this was Finland, and not Bolshevik Russia, the con- mittee was momentarily disappoirt- ed s.s
 But he must be punished" they insisted
 Al right" said the officer, "but no shooting goes here"
 The committee then made the thief strip, although the weather was bitterly cold. formed a long line in the woods, including about 15O men. and made the guilty man run naked 100 times from one end of the line to the other. shouting "Im a thief.
 Discipline in these refugee camps has been excellently maintained, through the orders of Stephen Pc trichenko, the 29-year-old sailor who was president of Kronstadt and the leader of the revolt Yet the Fin nish authorities are much worried over their presence in Finland The kronstadt men, while opposed to the Communists, are bit too radical in their views to suit the Finnish au- thorities, who have had red problem at home for a long time
 This. and the fear that the Ameri can Red Cross cannot continue to feed them indefinitely, has caused Finland to consider various means Of getting rid of these 5000 and the 25,- 900 other Russian refugees who are in the country. The government would like to have the League of Nations take them. off its hands.
 When the Kronstadt garrison ar rived at Teriojli the men were half starved, Ten days of good Ameri- can food changed their appearance wonderfully and some of them, un- used to white bread and a diet containing large proportion of fats. found it SD rich that they were i'll and their diet had to be reduced.
