SIX OCEAN LINERS
In RACE FOR PORT
Immigrant Ships Contest Due
To the Racial-Limit
Ruling.

NEW YORK. N Y, Sept. six
big ocean liners took part in a
thrilling race to reach this port be-
fore midnight last night, in order
to get their human freight into the
United States and save them from
deportation under the September i'm
migration quota ruling. The race
began at Ambrose Light and ended
contest was between two Greek
liners, the King Alexander, bearing
1,133 passengers and the Acropo-
lis with 444 passengers aboard.
All the way to Quarantine the
ships were only two minutes apart,
the King Alexander winning by
that margin.
The Chicago of the French Line,
entered into the race. although her
passenger list showed almost every
nationality, but with scant danger
that the quota would be exceeded
in any instance. The Greek quota
for September has. been set at 657.
SO some of those on the winning
boat and all on the locer will be de-
ported.

WOMAN SPOTTER
ASSISTS MINERS
TOCAPTURE Hill
Disappears on Enemy
Side, After Being
Recognized.

LOGAN, w. Va. Sept. 1.-The
defenders of Logan Thursday had
reason to believe that a woman
spy has been assisting the miners.
1.-The woman was seen on the "en-
emy" side and is believed to be
recognized as one who circulated
on the Logan side 1t is thought
that her information enabled the
miners to catch the defenders of
guard at Blair Hill and capture
the rise. Capt. l. E. Lawson, of
Williams. and afew men later took
the position.
Indications are that them liners
will not attempt a frontal attack on
Logan, as the defenders had an
ticipated.
The killing of three members of
the Logan force, John Gore, James
Musey and John Cavag, is now at
tributed to Cores carelessness in
advancing to meet a file of men
whom he saw approaching his po-
sition. Gore permitted the men to
come within thirty PAGES before
challenging them and when he did
so he and his comrades were shot.
Them iners are believed to have
suffered from five to ten casualties
in dash across a road near Logan
Wednesday. Observing the miners
making breaks across the open
singly, the defenders watind until
a group essayed the dash and
then opened on them with a ma
chine gun.
