 "I know that good sport never hits a man when he is down, SO you see l am ruther cheap sport. l am goiug to swat you-I am breaking my woN my truth To you.
 "It is now six months since your doctor sent you to Pasadena, and you tell me that your specialist there says tbat It will require another six months In that climate before you are well. and thut In order to keep wei! he advises ycu to make a permanent home in California.
 "Well, CrOfter needless to say that I would not-could not leave Boston; and. besides, It may take years, judg- ing from what l know, before you are financially able to assume the respon- slbillty of a home-such a home as we would like.
 T am no longer so very young. Crotter, I shall be twenty-four next month; and so, In justice to myself and my family. I think 1t better to break our engagement.
 To-day I am returning the ring and the string of pearls. Please do not judge me too harshly, and, please, for old times sake, let US still be friends, With all good wishes for your health and happiness. Yours sincerely.

Mir.

ARE SHIPS SEIZED BY BOLSHEVISTS?
New York Police Tell of Plet Reveal ed in Confiscated Documents Might Solve Mystery.

New York, June 22.-Documents which may solve the mystery surround. ing the disappearance of several Amer ican ships during recent months, are in the possession of the New York City Police Department, it became known today.
 These documents, seized about a year and . half ago. when raid was made on the headquarters of the United Rus sian Workers of the United States and Canada, revealed gigantic scheme which the United Russian Workers had on foot to ship their members on the vessels, seize them at sea and steer then into Russian ports for the Soviet government.
 The raid in which the documents were seized was headed by Detective Sergeant James c. Gegan. chief of the bomb squad Sergeant Gegan said he did not have the documents at hand but at the time they were seized the federal government was informed of

UNLAWFUL TO

Attorney General Utlcy Produces Stat ute Which is Designed to Preserve the Sobriety of Everything From Minnows en Up.

We gotta get a substitute for the phrase ito drink like a fish, A fish can't drink any more. That is, he can't drink anything but water. in which case the phrase, if anybody wanted to use it, would apply still.
 Section A of the Arkansas game and fish laws would indicate that the Vol stead law and it's jolly little forerun- ner. the Arkansas bone dry law, have direct application to all the little fishes that swim the streams.
 Section A says nothing lesG than the following, tO-wit:
 "It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit, throw drop or discharge in any manner in any of the waters of this state any substance, liquid or gas, or anything else that will or does in- toxicate or stupefy, or in any manner | injure any fish therein, whether done for the purpose of catching or taking fish or Sot; and any person violating this section of this act shall de deemed guilty of felony, and, upon convic- tion, shall be confined in the state pen itentiary for a term of not less than one month, nor more than F months. VI l It more or less casts the burden of proof on the law to show that what. ever was cast into the stream is in toxicating. but current report has i, that some of the various corn derivi ties now on the market are not mate rially impaired by being diluted with a casual river or so.
 Attorney General Utley recently lock ed the matter up for John w. Aaaen lsecretary of the Arkansas Game ant Fish Commission. MT Allen was in Iserested tn whether the law barred thu Ialleged spsrt of shooting fish, ana if so how. MT. Utley gave as his offscia |spinion that shooting fish Is Illegal A rifle ballet discharged into the wa ter in the general vicinity of fish is livery 1kefy to have the stupefyinE eff feet objected to in Section A. and MT Uf.ey is of the opinion that the "any substance, liquid or Eas or anything e4se,~ win include bui1ets fired iron rifles.
 Nr. Utley did not comment e tht lle~al effect of picklinR the herring! in their native habitant, but the law speaks for itself and the lxv says iron one month to F months for such pick ling or attempted pickling. It is ls lieved that in some sections of thu l state more caution will be used in spit l ting in the creek.-Gazette.

the plot. Whether the government took any notice of the matter, Sergeant Ge- gan does not know.
 When the raid was made several members of the United Russian Work CTS known as the left wing Socialists" were arrested. Some of these were de ported and others were allowed their freedom. B
 The documents were found in secret compa rtments in the Russian Workers' headquarters. m
 The plan was to ship enough men on the vessels to overpOwer the remainder of the crew at sea and to take charge of the ships.
 The organization was composed largely of Russian anarchists who used the labor movement as a camou- flage. Their headquarters were re, peatedly raided by the police during, 1919 and 1920, and many arrests wele made. Eventually the majority of those arrested were deported to Rus sia, most of them aboard the United States army transport Buford.-Ga, zette
