Washington.-The theory that Boil

pearance Of more than twenty mer'
chant vessels of the Virginia and Car
,lina coasts during the last six months
received a decided impetus when Off
.ials investigating the case came into
possession of detailed official ac'
count of the seizure of the Cuxhavet
9shing steamer, Senator Schroeder, by
mutinous crew, who confiscated the
vessel In the name Of the soviet gov
eminent.
After the captain and other officers
had been overpowered and locked up,
the ringleader of the mutineers, one
Knuefken, aided by two Boishevst
agents who had been struggled aboard
as stowaways, ran the ship into the
port of Murmansk.

Meanwhile, members of the crew who
had remained with the Senator Schroe-
der, tired of life with the soviet and
plotted to steal the ship and return
TO Cuxhaven.
Getting permission to go out on a

be ascribed to the actions of Bolsheyist
