PIRATES FEARED IN
BIC SHIP MYSTERY

WASHINGTON. June z1.-Exami-
nation of their records today led
| commerce department officials to be-
lieve that total of five ships have
mysteriously disappeared off Cape
Hatteras within the last few months.
A worldwide search has started for
the crew of tie Carroll H. Deerirg, a
schooner, which sailed ashore with
no one on board except a parrot.
The vessels missing are the Hew-
lit, carrying a cargo of sulphur from
Texas; the Albyn, which sailed from
Norfolk last October and disappeare
and the Yute. bark. which was last
heard from by wireless last Novem-
Der IA. The names of two other miss
ing vessels are in possession of the
commerce department, but officials
are reluctant to give them out.
Other DEVELOPMENTS in the sea
mystery which is engaging the at
tention of four government depart
lnents today were:
French ministry of marine are CO.
operating with this government in
its investigation.
The state department has acce2tad
the theory that foul play may &C
count for the disappe france OF the
twelve men On the Deer!ng.
Information reached officials mere
that at least one foreign ship was
reported attacked by men in Launch
while lying in harbor at Newport
The Cape Hateras ship mystery to-
day recalled here the strange case
of the Mary Celeste.
In 1872 the sailing vessel was oiS'
covered in midocean with all sails
set. The captains table was set tol
dinner. In the crews quarters decF
of cards lay strewn on table. The
toys of the captains son lay apoa'
the cabin.
What became of those on boarc
has never been explained.
While four departments of the gov
eminent were officially concerned IN
the investigation, other departments
and individuals were interested by
the mystery and the romance OF the
disappearance. 49,,
The coast off Cape Hatteras is wild
and seldom approached by land. 1t
would be impossible for a twentieth
century Captain Kidd to hide there
with his marauding band. 1t has been
suggested that such pirate might
be using a submarine in his raids.
Another theory-adVanced by cab
met officer who was only partly serl-
ous--was that Bolsheviks have cap.
tured the ships, made prisoners of
the crews and taken the cargoeS to
Russia.

Greatest Warship in
World, The Maryland,
To Toin Pacific Fleet

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The su-
per-dreadnaugh Maryland, y believed
by American experts to be the most
powerful fighting machine afloat,
put to sea today from Newport News
Va, to begin a series of tests pre-
liminary to being turned over by the
constructors to the navy department.
The Maryland, as soon as commits
stoned. will be transferred to the
west coast as one of the units of
which force also will be assigned,
on completion, her sister ship, the
California.
Carrying eight 16-inch rifles in four
turrets, the Mary land is said to COM
bine the longest range with the heav-
lest broadside of any vessel afloat.
She is electrically equipped and her
first trials will be witnessed by
many civilian experts interested in
that science as we'll as by full CO.
tCrie of naval observers.
In addition to the two electric
drive dreadnaughts, the reorganized
Pacific fleet as announced yesterday
by Secretary DENLY, will comprise
the New Mexico, Idaho, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Arizona, Oklahoma and
the navy department being to con-
centrate in those waters the oil-bUrD-
ing units of the first line. The At
lantic fleet, after transfers are COM
pleted, will include tie Pennsylva-
MIA. North Dakota, Wyoming, New
York; Texas, Arkansas, Florida and
Delaware.
Three destroyer divisions will be
transferred to the Pacific. Secretary
Denly said, and the two main fleets
viii combine during three months of
each year for training in combined

Young Mother, Failing
At Suicide by Poison,
Still Hopes to Die

Alleged to be respondent over do
nestle troubles, pretty Mrs. May
Amison, of sc East Georgia avenue,
tried to end her life late Monday
night by drinking poison in the pres
ence of her husband and children.
Quick work by the Grady hospital
authorities saved her. and she ex
pressed regret Tuesday morning
when told she would recover.
I'm sorry I didn't take more-but,
anyway, there are other ways tc
die" she told physicians.
Mrs. Amison is 20 years old, ana
is the mother of three small chill
dren. Neighbors of the Amison
family ten days ago reported to Re
corder George Johnson that Mrs.
Amison neglected her children, was
unkind to her husband and kept late
hours. At a hearing before the re-
corder, she was parolec.
Monday night she took her chill
dren for a walk through Grant park,
and while there, is said to have met
her brother, Clarence Mcmillan, and
talked to him and two of his friends.
On returning home, her husband is
alleged to have demonstrated with
her for taking the children to the
park and neglecting them to talk
to strange men. Five minutes later,
the woman drank the dose which
came near to ending her life.

BIC DECREASE IN
STATE TAX VALUES

A decrease of $3O0,o0O,O0O In the
tax values of real ana personal prop
erty in Georgia for 1921 is indicated
by reports that have been received
by Comptroller General William A
Wright from tax collectors in TWEEN
ty-six counties. This meanSa net
loss in the actual 1921 revenue OF
the state of $1,5O0,000, based upon
| the rate of five mills.
Contributing further to the gloomy
aspect of the states finances is the
disclosure that of the 1920 taxes
the state by April 81, last, 100000
remains unpaid, with the chances OF
collection far from encoura ging.
In the forty-one years that ]
have been comptroller general OF
Georgia there has never been just
such condition in the finances of
the state" said General William A.
Wright Tuesday morning.
Effect on Appropriations
AS will be gathered from the re
mark of General Wright, the financial
| difficulties of the state are attribute
| BILE primarily to the worldwide finan-
cial stringency, which happily is on
as apparent that much of the trouble
may be laid to ill-advised and ex-
travagant appropriations by the leg
islature last summer and the summer
before.
Figures obtained at the office of
the comptroller general Tuesday
revenue for 1921 from ad valorem
taxes, on which the legislature based
its appropriations last summer, is
$9,822,645.S4. This estimate accepts
for 1921 the tax assessments that
o.
1920.
But, as remarked, the tax assess
ments of returns for 1921, according
to estimates that have been received
directly from county tax collectors,
INDICATE that the total. tax values for
the entire state will show a decrease
of at least $300,000,000 for the cur
rent year. This means reduction
in the revenue of S1,5OO,O0O
Add to the loss Of $1,500,000 in
the anticipated revenue the 100000
of uncollected 1920 taxes and the to-
tai loss amounts to nearly $2,000,000.
The appropriations for the current
year, as shown, amount to $9,822, 645.
1t is obvious therefore that the new
administration is confronted by a
deficit of not less tnan $2,000,000.
Estimates Forwarded
General Wright, some weeks ago,
requested the county tax collectors to
forward him at their earliest con-
venience an estimate OF the tax re-
turns of their respective counties.
Up to date twenty-five collectors
have complied with the request.
Their estimates show net loss Of
$26,642,793 in tax returns for 1921
as compared with 1920. If this ratio
obtains throughout the state-and
there is no reason to believe any
thing to the contrary, the total loss
will amount to $300,UuU,000.
The following shows losses that
have been noted b ythe counties MAX

ell: Banks, $7O6,S26 Barrow, $219, 291 !;

PULMOTER SAVES CLERK
LOCKED IN BANK VAULT

The three men then returned to
the subterranean vault. AS they ap-
preached it the men heard pounding
which sounded family through tlae
two double steel doors.
Realizing that man was locked
in the vaults, Connolly rushed to a
telephon and called A. C. Colby, Sec
ond vcie president of the Metropoli-
tan bank. He also summoned an
ambulance from Bellevue and noti-
fed the police department.
Mr.. Colby reached the bank mo-
ment after the ambulance. He open
ed the doors of the vault. Schweer's
body rolled out as the inner door
swung open. After being revived the
clerk was placed : in the ambulance
and taken to his home in Jersey City.
The vaults in the Metropolitan
bank are usually closed shortly be-
fore o'clock. Schweer was working
in the vault at this time and failed
to make known his presence before
