The Green Pea Pirates
 By Peter B. kyne

A Jacobs ladder was hanging over the side of the schooner as the ca noe shot in under her lee quarter, and half a minute later the eNpectant Nei1s stepped upon her deck. A tall dark man, wearing an ancient palmleaf hat sat smoking on the hatch coaming, and him Neils Halvor- sen addressed.

 The tall dark man stood erect and east a quick, questioning. look at Neils Halvorsep. He hesitated be- fore he made answer.
 What do you want?' he asked de- Gberately. and there was a subtle menace in his tones. As for Neils Halvorsen, thinking only of the sur prise he had in store for his old em- Pdoyer, he replied evasively:
 Aye bane want job.'
 well, I'm Captain Scraggs. and l haven't any job for you. Get off my boat and wait until you're invited be- fore you come aboard again"
 For nearly minute Neils Halvor- sen stared open-mouthed at the spurious Captain Scraggs, while slow ly there sifted through his brain the notion that he had happened across the track of deep and bloody mys- tery Of the seas. There was some thing rotten in Denmark Of that Neils Halvorsen was certain. More he could not be certain of until he had paved the way for a complete in- VeSt1Sa ton, and as a preliminary step toward that end he clinched his fist and sprang swiftly toward the bogus skipper.
 Aye tank you bane d-n liar" he muttered, and struck home, straight and true, to the point of the jaw. The man went down, and in an in staH+ Neils was on top of him. Off came the sailors belt, the hads of the half-stunned man were quick1! tied behind him, and before he had time to realize what had happened Neils had cut a length of cord from trailing halyard and tied his feet securely, after which he gagged him securely with his bandana handker- chief.
 A quick circuit of the ship con vinced Neils Halvorsen that the re- nlainder of the dastard crew were violently ashore, so dedescended to the cabin in search of further evil dence of crime. He was quite pre- pared to find Captain Scraggs mas ter's certificate in it's familiar oaken frame, hanging on the cabin wall. but

 which Neils Halvorsen, with murder in his eye and a tarred rope'5 end in his horny fist, went down into the cabin and talked to the man who posed as Captain Scraggs. In the end he got confession. Fifteen minutes later he emerged, smiling grimly, gave the kanaka boy at the wheel the

(ContinUed From Yesterday Judge of Neils Halvorsen's surprise, therefore, upon the occasion of his first trip to Honolulu, when he saw something which brought the whole matter back to nlind- They were standing in toward Diamond head and the Alameda lay hove to taking on the pilot. It was early morning and the purple mists hung over the entrance to the harbor. Neils Halvor- sen stood at the gangway enjoying the sunrise over the Punch-bowl, ana Slancing longingly toward the vivid green of the hills beyond the city, when he was aware of a put, put,

 and scratched his head, for the name revived old memories. An hour later, when the Alameda loafed into her berth at Brewster's dock, Neils noticed the quarantine station.
 That night Neils HaIversen went ashore for those forms of enjoyment peculiar to his calling, and in the way led him, he filled himself with beer and gossip. It was here that NeiIs came across item in an af- ternoon paper which challenged his instant attention. It was just a squib in the shipping news, but Neils Halversen read it with amusement and joy:
 The power schooner Maggie II ar rived this morning, ten days from the Friendly Islands. The little schoon- came into port with her hold bursting with the most valuable car go that has entered Honolulu in many years. It consists for the most part of black coral.
 The Maggie II is commanded by Captain Phineas Scraggs, and after taking on provisions and water today will proceed to San Francisco, to- morrow, for discharge of cargo.'

 Darkness was creeping over the beach at Tuvana-tho1o before Mr. Gibney could smother the despair in his heart sufficient to spur his jaded imagination to working orders. For nearly an hour the three castaways had sat on the beach in dumb horror, gazing seaward.

reduction Of income surtaxes and the
retention of 80 per cent of the freight

Senator Simmons of Carolina, ranking
minority member of the finance COM
pittee, submitted the minority report
on the tax bill to his colleagues and
plans were made for an attack upon
the important features of the COM

The Democrats, according to minor

In their fight the Democrats have
the support and assistance of group
of powerful Republicans, including
Senators LaFollette. Borah. Kenyon,
Johnson, of California, and others.
These Republican senators have
held several preliminary conferences
at which they have discussed plans
for opposing the tax program on the
ground that the taxation relief pro-
vided in the committees bill would
go too largely to big business and too
little to the small taxpayers.

I'M GERMAN FACTORY
Town of Oppau, in Baden, Is Wiped
Out by Terrific
Explosion.

Berlin, Sept. 22-The town of OPP
pau in the Rhine, Palatinate. was COM
pletely destroyed by an explosion in
the Badische Chemical works which
was followed by fire. The force of the
shock was felt for ID miles.
The management of the Badische
Chemical works estimated that 1000
persons had been killed and 800 more
were SO severely injured they prob
ably would die.
In addition, hundreds of others re-
ceived injuries and burns.
The damage is estimated at 150,-
100000 marks, nominally $37 100000.
Dense clouds of smoke and chemi-
cal fumes which poured from the
wrecked watts hindered the work of
rescue. The rescuers had to wear
gas masks before they could venture
close to the scene.
1t was hours after the explosion
before the workers attempted to pene-
trate to the heart of the explosion,
so great was the heat and so dense
were the rolling clouds and deathly
fumes.
Neighboring cities have converted
their schools and public buildings into
hospitals to care for the wounded who
survived the disaster and were car
ried from the scene by improvised
ambulances and trains.
Oppau was a ''war town." devel-
oped to help furnish chemicals for
munitions and gas used by the Ger
