THIEVES DUMP CARS
INTO EAST RIVER.
STOLEN MACHINES DISPOSED OF
QUICKLY WHEN PURSUIT
COMES TOO CLOSE FOR COM.
FORT-PARTS OF AUTOMo-
BILES RECOVERED

New York, June 21.-Some time
today a crew of divers will aid the
police in, discovering just what kind
of mystery was uncovered yester-
day when an attempt to raise mo-
tor truck that was seen to topple in
to East River at Hallets Cove several
days ago resulted in the finding of a
big touring car and parts of several
other automobiles, all mud covered
and encrusted with rust.
The cove apparently has been used
as dumping ground for stolen cars
that could not be disposed Of, ac-
cording to the Astoria police. The po-
lice also regard it possible that per-
sons interested in disposing Of their.
automobiles for the sake. Of obtain
ing the insurance against theft have
turned them over to a gang that
makes business of dumping automo-
biles into the river.
The big car that was hauled out OF
the water when the graphing irons
were dropped into the river for the
truck was stolen from a man named
Giuseppi Maarduza. At the time Of
the theft, the police records show,
he was living at the Commodore. The
police were trying to locate him last,
night to have iim examine the ma
chine they recovered. It was explain
ed that there was no connection be-
tween the disappearance Of this car
and the insurance collecting scheme.
Adjacent to, Hallett's Cove, where
the mystery cache is located, is q
public dock. The dock is open day
and night and seldom is guarded.
Several days ago, it was reported
to the Astoria police yesterday, q.
man was seen to drive motor truck
out on the dock and halt it near the
edge. He looked around carefully,
| as if to make sure no one was watch
ing. Then he started the truck and
jumped off. The truck lurched over
The edge of the dock and dropped in
to the river. Before it had disap-
peared the man was seen to run in
the direction from which he had
come.

DIVIDENDS DECLARED
=. FOR INSURANCE HOLDERS
Bureau Of War Risk Pays Fir'. Pro
fits to Policyholders With
Moro to Come.

Veterans of the World War who
kept their United States government
War Risk Insurance after their dis
charge and who later had this term
insurance converted into some one of
the six forms of permanent insur-
ance are now receiving federal treas
ury checks in payment of the first
dividend declared on this converted
insurance.
The amounts of the dividends vary
with the nature of the policy held,
the age of the insured, etc., but in no
case is the dividend less than one
dollar per thousand Of insurance.
For example, a government check for
$1O.7O' is paid a former service man
on an "ordinary life" policy for $10,-
900, whose age is around 80 years.
United States government insur-
ance is the cheapest form of insur-
ance procurable. The converted in
surance is both life insurance and
disability feature is included in all
forms of policies and does not cost
anything additional. If at any. time
for any cause, a former service man
becomes totally disabled, the pay
ment of premiums on his insurance
ceases automatically and he begins
drawing the insurance himself.
Payments ase made monthly so long
as the former soldier remains dis
abled or lives and the settlements
will continue even after the full
amount of the policy has been paid
the insured.
Dividends on converted war risk
insurance are to be paid regularly
hereafter on each anniversary of the
policy, according to an announce
ment from the bureau Of war risk in
surance. .r

NORTH CAROLINA WINS :
FREIGHT RATES CASE

held, put into effect rates which were
unduly favorable to Richmond and
Norfolk. -
In it's new order, the commission
said the effort is to make "differen.
tials large enough to fit short haul
traffic." but it was contemplated
"that these differentials be held
merely as maxima and that the ae.
tual differentials in many cases will
fall below these maximas."
"There was no little difficulty in
dealing justly with the situation u
the. commissions statement said
notably because of the irregularity
and inconsistency of both of the
rates between Eastern territory and
Virginia cities and between Eastern
cities and North Carolina. The re-
argument, however, has shown: %
that the differentials prescribed are
not properly adjusted to the shorter
haul traffic, such as between Balti-
more and North Carolina points; ~
that the spread in differentials as
between zone 1 and zone 2 in North
Carolina is inadequate; (3) that it is
desirable to adopt a plan which will,
if possible, make it unnecessary to
disrupt the present differentials be-
tween Eastern ports and traffic with
Carolina trritory."

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
= TO RESTRICT LOANS. /.

Washington, June 21.-Investiga-
ton of the Federal Reserve Boards
regulation of rediscount rates was
suggested in the Senate today by
Senator Smith, Democrat, South
Carolina.
''The people of the country are
going bankrupt and starving" Sena-
tor Smith asserted, "while we sit
here calmly, knowing that we have
placed the entire financial power of
the country in the hands of the sew
en- members Of the Federal Reserve
Board. In that board have we ere
ated a Franka9tein to destroy us. "
Senator Smith attacked the
boards recent statement that gold
reserves were greater than in his
tory, declaing that "while the nation
is burning up we boast that there is
more water in the tank than ever
before" '.... g.. r..
A bill providing for loans Of two
hundred million dollars by the Trea-
sury to the federal farm loan board
for loans to farmers on approved APP
plicahons was introduced by Senator
Harris, Democrat, Georgia. The
bill directs that no federal land bank
shall loan the money at more than
six per cent and that five percent in
terest shall be paid to the Treasury
for the sum borrowed.
Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alaba-
ma, Joined with Senator Smith and
urged relief through credit extension
to the cotton growers of the south.
The Alabama Senator said the price
of cotton "has been beaten down fif-
teen dollars bale in the last few
days by-specuiators without a pound
of cotton on hand" .-.
Senator Heflin suggested that the
cotton exchanges be closed "to stop
this gambling"

WHITE CRIMINALS
0UTNUMBER NEGRO
NEARLY FOUR. TIMES AS MANY
I'm STATE PENITENTIARY.
MOSTLY YOUNG MEN-SIXTY-
TWO ADDED TO POPULATION
SINCE LAST YEAR. .=-

Columbia, June 16.-White men
in the state penitentiary outnumber
negro men early four to one, there
being 151 white men and only AZ
negro men nearly four to one, there
white men are also young men. Last
year abort this time. there were SO
white men and LAG negro men, max
ing an addition of 81 more white
men to the population in only one
year,
These figures are according to
Secretary G. Croft Williams Of the
state board of public welfare, who
made an unofficial visit to the state
penitentiary this week. .r
There are also five white women
and 43 negro women in the state
penitentiary at the present time.
Last year there were Is negro wo-
men and three white women.
Negro men are shifted from the
penitentiary to the state farms
when crop conditions demand it, out
the white men are kept ait the peni-
tentiary. .-
Mr.. Williams says that he was
particularly struck with the number
of young men in the prison. These
young men are healthy and appear
to be Of normal intelligence, Mr..
Williams says. "At the time of life
when they should be building up
businesses and homes and in other
ways doing their part IN the affairs
of their communities, they are serv-
ing time in state prison for steal
ing, killing or some other grave Of
fenses," he says. "Many have been
Istsrtled at the idea Of a crime wave
going over the country. However,
there can be no doubt that for the
last year crime has increased in
South Carolina and this increase has
been much larger among the whites
chan among the negroes"
GAS there are thousands of youth
full soldiers at Camp Jackson and as
these are drawn from all parts of
the country and have a certain per
cent. of anti-social characters among
them, it might be expected that
some would find their way to the
penitentiary. Yet the growth of the
white population of the penitentiary
cannot be attributed entirely to che
proximity of the camp as there are
a number of South Carolinians in
it," ......

AT WORK
IN NORTH ATLANTIC
SHIPS THAT HAVE MYSTERI-
OUSLY DISAPPEARED NOW BE-
LIEVED TO HAVE MET WITH
FOUL PLAY-MESSAGE FOUND
IN BOTTLE. -,

Portland, Maine, June 21.-The
theory that pirates are afloat in the
North Atlantic has found credence
here. Belief in this and Of the fate
of the recently missing ships, has
grown with establishment of the fact
that the message in bottle picked
up two months ago north of Cape
Hatteras, purporting to explain the
disappearance of the crew Of the FIVE
masted Bath schooner Carroll A.
Deering, mystery ship of Diamond
Shoals, was written by Henry Bates
of Isleboro, Maine, a member of the
crew. Question Of it's genuineness was
settled today by handwriting ex.
perts who compared it with letters
written by Bates. The unsigned note
stated that the schooner had been
captured by an oil-burning craft,
something like a sub-chaser, that the
members of the crew who were. hid
ing all over the ship with no chance
Of escape, were being handcuffed and
that everything was being taken off.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Willis
B. Wormell, of this city, wife Of the
captain of the Deering and friends,
the investigation was started by the
State Department, the Department
of Commerce, the coast guard and
other government agencies to estab:
lish the fate of the missing crew,
which consisted of IL men besides the
captain.
The mystery is being Investigated
by the Department of Justice and the
Department of Commerce as is also
the unexplained disappearance Of the
American steel freighter Hewitt, out
of Sabine Pass, Texas, for Boston.
This craft disappeared at about the
same time that the Deering came
ashore.
The summary of the history of the
Deering case as sent to consuls by
the State Department discloses that
when the .Deering passed Cape Look.
out Ligktship, North Carolina on
January 20, while bound from Rio de
Janeiro. for Norfolk, a man othe,
than the master reported that the
vessel had lost both anchors and ask
ed to be reported to its owners.
Two days later the vessel wa:
found on the beach on what the State
Department describes as "in such
condition that there is every suspic
ion of foul play having occurred"
