 PIRATE THEORY
Official Account Is Found of Seizure of Ship by Bolshcvists- Considered Important.

Washington, June 24.-The theory that Bolshevist buccaneers agents or sympathizers were responsible for the disappearance of more than 20 mer- chant vessels off the Virginia and Car. olina coasts, during the last six months. received a decided impetus today when officials investigating the case came into possession of detailed account of the seizure of the Cuxhaven fishing steamer, Senator Schroeder, by md- tinous crew, which confiscated the yes sel in the name of the Soviet govern ment
 After the captain and other officers of the ship had been overpowered and locked up, the ringleader of the muti- neers, one Knuefken, aided by two Bol- shevist agents who had been smug- gled aboard as stowaways, ran tho ship into port of Murmansk.

Convention Votes Down Plan to Force
 Unions to Admit Them.

Denver, Col. June 24.-The conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor today voted down eonstitu- tional amendment designated to give women equal rights and privileges of membership in the union of their trade or industry" All affiliated unions, however, were urged not to discrimi- nate against the woman wage earner and to admit her to membership.
 Efforts to wipe out the color line in organized labor organizations also failed. The convention took the stand that national and interDational nn' ions could not be compelled 70 racog' nize negro workers, and that this was a matter to be adjusted in conference between the negro wage eaner aud the various organizations.
 Both questions were subjects of long and stormy debates in which di>crim ina ton by certain unions against ne gro and women wage earners was bit terly denounced

MRS. J. l.. BARDWELL SUF-
 TERED A BROKEN LIMB

Yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Clyde Cox and Jess Hays, who were returning from a trip in the lower part of the county were witnesses to a hair raising accident.
 As they started upon the levee they saw a wagon coming from the other end. They prepared to stop when the wagon stopped on one of the pass bridges. They continued and on near ing the wagon, for some reason un- know, the mules began backing and backed against the railing, which gave way letting the wagon, occupants and all fall about ten feet into the water below.

Meanwhile members of the crew who had remained with the Senator SchrOe- der tired of life among the Sovicts and plotted to steal the ship and return to Cuxhaven. Getting permission to go out on fishing trip they overpow- cred their own officers and took the Senator Schroeder back to Cuxhaven, where they were arrested and tried
 This fantastic though apparently indisputable report fthe mutiny and piracy gave a new lease of life to the belief first expressed by Secretary of Commerce Hoover that the unusual loss of ships during the past year must be ascribed to the actions of Bolshe- vist crews.
