Government Is Trying to Solve
the Mystery of the Twenty
Missing Ships.
MAY Be WORK OF PIRATES
Admiral Sims, Home, Tells Secretary
DENLY He Was Misquoted-Britain
Determined to Crush Irish Re-
voIt-Dawes Made Direc-
tor of National Budget.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The interest of the world was excit-
ed and its imagination stimulated last
week by the remarkable story of the
20 lost merchant ships, the mystery of
whose disappearance our government
is trying TO solve. Not since the days
of the German U-boats has there been
any such a series Of maritime disas-
tiers, nor was there any such before
the war A number of these 20 YES
sells which have disappeared within a
few months were American or sailing
from American ports The most mys-
tifying of the instances was that of the
American schooner Carroll A. Deering
which ran ashore off the North Caro-
lima coast last January with all sails
set and every member of the crew
missing, as were its small boats. More
than two months later the following
message In a bottle was picked up
near Cape Hatteras:
"Deering captured by oil-burning
boat, something like chaser; taking off
everything, Handwriting crew. Crew
hiding all over ship. No chance to
make escape. Finder please notify
headquarters of Deering."
Naturally the favorite theory con-
corning these events is that a pirate
craft is operating in the Atlantic. Rear
Admiral Mutton, commandant of the
Philadelphia navy yard, inclines to this
view. He says:
1T would be possible for an outlaw
craft to run wild for short time, and
IL could do considerable damage to
shipping. If there is pirate craft, it
was or is operating with forged ships
papers. 1t is always necessary, when
a ship enters port, TO have its papers
examined, and this craft could operate
for short time with forged papers,
but in the end II would disclose its
identity.
1T is true, also, that by stripping
vessels of provisions and fuel the out
law could continue operations a long
time. but eventually il would have to
put into Some port for repairs. Machin-
cry, you know, cannot run forever
without being overhauled and repaired.
II SuCll NIull 10 OptlullliS IL VIII
have to return 10 port at some time,
and when 1t does, i assume there will
be interesting developments"
Another theory is based upon the
fact that about year and half ago
the New York police seized documents
which revealed plot which the Uni
ted Russian Workers of the United
States and Canada were forming to
get their members TO Russia. Those
members who were out of work were
being instructed to ship on vessels in
sufficient numbers to seize the vessels
at sea and steer them into soviet Rus
sian ports.
The Departments of State and Com
merce, however, hold to the plain pi-
rate theory and a worldwide lookout
for the missing ships and their crews
has been ordered.

Admiral Sims, recalled from Eng

rived in Washington Wednesday and
reported TO the head of the navy
Thursday. In reply to Mr.. DENLY, he
asserted that he had been misquoted
in the reports of his London speech,
and the secretary called on him for a
correct text of what he said. Mr.. Den
by said to the correspondents:

him. He stated that he was incorrect

The allies, while still determined
that the Turkish nationalists shall not
get possession Of Constantinople, have
now requested, or ordered, the Greeks
to defer their offensive against Ke-
mails forces until an attempt has been
made to mediate between the two ma
lions. King Constantine, it Is said,
consented TO wait until some time In
July. Lord Curzon, Premier BRAND
and representatives of Italy arranged
for this postponement and promised
that il Greece were amenable the three
big powers would lift the financial em-
barge and permit Greece TO arrange
its fiscal affairs. The French under
took to persuade Renal Pasha to make
concessions leading to an amicable
settlement.

in writing where he was misquoted
and TO tell me, if he could, what he did
say in that speech"
Al this writing the outcome of the
affair." so far as the admiral is con-
cerned, is not known. What is known,
however, is that the incident of his
speech, the attack on him by some of
the Irish-Americans and the possibility
of his being disciplined for what he
against hyphenates In America com
parable TO that that existed during
the war. Senators, representatives,
Secretary DENLY and even President
Harding were almost swamped with
letters and kilograms protesting
against any punishment of the admi-
raj and indorsing the sentiments he
had expressed. The pro-Irish were
not silent, by any means, but the COM
munications from admirers of Sims
were largely in the majority. Neither
side was permitted to make a demon
stration in New York when the ad-
miral landed, fully a thousand police
teing massed to prevent such action.
The Ulster parliament, which was
organized recently, was formally
opened Wednesday by King George,
who, with Queen Mary, journeyed TO
Belfast for the purpose. No least part
of the elaborate ceremonies usual oil
such occasions was omitted, the Irish
republicans created no disturbance
and everything passed off in orderly
manner. The king in his speech from
the throne said he spoke from a full
heart" but he uttered nothing but
platitudes, to the disappointment of
those who had expected some sensa
tional pronouncement on the Irish
question.
In the parliament In London more
important statements concerning the
Irish troubles were made. For the
first time the government admitted
that there is real war in Ireland, and
Worthington Evans, secretary of war,
more than intimated that 1t would be
a war TO the finish. He said the gov
eminent was sending troops continu-
ally to the island and would continue
to send them as quickly as possible,
and that these troops would be given
every support. Lord Chancellor Bir-
kenhead spoke to the same effect, and
even more emphatically, making it
plain that unless settlement is
reached and the southern parliament
functions, there will be a military
domination campaign much like that
employed against the Beers In South
Africa.
The most spectacular exploit of the
Sim Feiners last week was the kid
mapping Of Earl Bandon, for many
years the kings lieutenant of County
Cork, and the burning of his castle in
Bantry. Colonel Lambert of the crown
forces was killed near Knockroghery,
and in reprisal the entire village was
burned.

With its mind set more firmly on
present economy than on adequate ma
tional defense, congress last week
about made up its mind that the Uni
ted States could get along safely with
very small army and navy person
mel. Despite the utmost efforts of the
advocates Of preparedness and con:
trary to the known wishes of the ad-
ministration, the army is to be reduced
to 10000 men by October /, and the
enlisted personnel of the navy is to be
cut TO 100000. At least $4,000 men
must be discharged from the army, re-
CARELESS of their enlistment terms, in
addition TO the normal discharges,
which are estimated at 10000. Senator
New of Indiana declared the $4,000
can sue the government for their sal
aries If the terms of their enlistment
contracts are thus ignored.
The senate in this yielded complete
ly to the demands of the house, and in
return received assurance that the
Borah disarmament amendment would
be adopted by the house In substitute
for the Porter resolution. This, too,
will be distasteful TO the admnistra-
ton. 1t may be President Harding
can and will do something to prevent
this return to q state of unprepared-
ness by interposing his veto.

easily perceive the value of the exploit,
except that ii proved our aerial bomb
ers and destroyer gunners are pretty
good marksmen, at least when the tar
get is stationary and helpless. The
first test was made by bombing
squadron of the air forces, and the
submarine was speedily sunk. Then q
bunch of destroyers charged on two
U-boats, at full speed, and filled them
full of shells in quick time. Other
tests are to follow. OF course, the tar
gets were submarines that once be-
longed to Germany.
Gen. Charles G. Dawes Of Chicago
has been persuaded by President Hard
ing to take the place Of director of the

nounced that he would ask number
in the budget bureau without pay. The
first of these is William T. Abbott Of
Chicago, whom General Dawes invited
to serve as assistant director. He also
requested that Brig Gen. George
Moseley and Col. Henry Smither be
detailed to help him. Both of them
distinguished themselves in organiza-
ton work during the war.
Mr.. Dawes made some cutting re-
marks about the inadequacy of the
budget legislation. adding: lone might
as well be handed toothpick with
which to tunnel Pixies peak. 1t is evil
dent that If this, the greatest business
crisis which our government has ever
confronted is to be properly met, chief
reliance will have to be placed upon
something else than the pitiful machin-
cry provided ty law with which to ex-
ercise the wide powers extended to the
budget bureau. / am, therefore, ac-
cepting the position of director of the
budget only with the idea that the pa
triotism of the bureau chiefs and the
country as whole can be aroused in
this emergency that it will be met as
was the emergency of war four years
ago"

Holdings Of Large Company Now
Scattered Over the State to BE
Concentrated ut Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 20. - Twenty
thousand barrels of Kentucky whisky
property of the Kentucky Distilleries
and Warehouse Company in fourteen
dlstilleries IN the state. will be trans
ferred to Louisville, according to e.
wood Hamilton. Collector of Internal
Revenue.
Legal complexities have been
threshed out in this first case of con-

terday.
All the whisky will be placed in
warehouses on Hamilton avenue and
on Frankfort avenue, near Mellwood
avenue. The liquor is the product Of
the Cochran Distillery, Frankfort; La
tonia Distillcry, Latonia; two distill-
cries at Camp Nelson; Bond and Lill-
ard Distillery at Anderson three dis
tilleries at Athertonville and several
in Nelson and Marion counties.
The matter has been before the In

HAS NARROW ESCAPE.

The Ripley Bee says: Elmer
Flaugher was out shooting sparrows
Monday morning, with a double barrel
shot gun. He set his gun down beside
a box, and when he went to pick up
the gun, the hammers caught on the
side of the box and discharged both
barrels of the gun, tearing his cloth
ing to shreds. Just over his right
breast one or two Of the shots plowed
up through the flesh, and others
burnt the flesh in several places. The
of the gun quarter of an
inch would have snuffed out his life.
He came to the office Of DR.. Francis,
who dressed the wounds, and he
brought the clothing that he wore
along to show how close call he had.
His undershirt had hole in it about
four inches square Just over the

year old in February and Is a son of
the famous Major Pieterje Ormsby
whose half-brother sold for $4,000
The grandsire of the bull purchased
had more daughters having made a
thousand pounds of butter in a year
than any other bull in the world. This
animal was picked by Hugh VanPelt,
nationally known Holstein expert,
from a large herd offered at auction
and It Is understood the local breeders
paid very fancy price.

DEFFNSE LOSES
LEGAL POINT IN
TRIAL OF WINES
Testimony In Regard to Movements
OF the COnylcts In the Noun
tans Must BE Specific
Instances.

Harlan, KY, Jan. 26-Shortly after
the trial OF DR.. II. c. WINES was re-
sumed in Harlan Circuit Court Tues
day morning, Judge w. T. Davis ruled
that in attempting TO show that con-
victs were allowed to wander away
from the road camp unguarded the de-
Tense must specify individual convicts
and not refer to them as convicts in
general.
This ruling came as surprise to
the defense and was the cause OF
much arguing and objection and over
ruling of questions on the part Of the
attorneys and the court. 1t came
during the testimony Of d. L. Lyons,
timekeeper and commissary clerk at
the prison camp. The record Of the
number of convicts at the camp was
introduced by the defense on cross
examination.
Lyons testified that the records
show only the assignment of convicts
working on the roads and does not
show the daily assignment of TRUSTEES.
He said that some of the convicts
were a mile away from the guards at
times clearing the right of way for the
road.
When the ruling that convicts must
be specified by name was made the
defense named the following men:
Jerry Reed Sam Ellery, Houston Hol-
liday, Big John Lyle, Jim Robinson,
Allen Porter, Fred Johnson and con-
Wet named Stubblefield.
Ellery has been returned to the re-
formatory at Frankfort; Holidays
term has expired and his whereabouts
are not known. The present location
OF the other convicts mentioned was
not brought out in the hearing.

1t was found, testified briefly concern
