Phantom LIGHT
HAUNTING SKY
SCARESBR|TONS
Weird Phenomenon variously
Ascribed to Phosphorescent
Owl or Airmen's Prank.

LONDON. March GA winged
mystery. visible only at night. that
is said to emit a light "like a
bicycle lamp" is haunting nearly to
distraction the village of Rushall.
IAN illuminated bird that shrieks
and whistles and sheds a light on
haystacks and trees an owl with a
bright star on it's head "a bird with
phosphorescent eyes'-I nave visited
the eerie' haunts of this phenomenon
so intimately described to me-" says
a correspondent in the London Daily
News.
That there Is something doing in
spectral luminosity in this village OF
200 inhabitants there seems to be no
possible doubt. Personally l offer
no explanation Of the winged light.
bu merely report the result OF my
impartial Investigations.
George Saunders, who lives in a
row Of matched cottages near the
''1t was a dark night and raining.
The bird seemed to fly from its
usual place-a clump Of trees some
800 or 400 yards away. II flew up
and down the hedgeroWs and along
the church wall. In the last few
weeks we have seen II many times.
We have watched II from the bed.
room window, and have left 1t
perched high on the neighboring
trees and gone off to sleep.
II have seen II as close as twenty
or thirty yards. II has flown round
a straw stack, and the light from
1t has shown plainly upon the
straw"
The light is said to follow the mo-
ton Of an owl in flight Swimming the
hedges and bitches as II on the prowl
for prey. II is noiseless, but on
nights when It has been invisible
people have heard weird screeches.
and Mrs. Saunders and her grand
daughter have stood and listened to
what she described as "a rough
whistle" rather loud. 1t comes at
all times OF the night. 1t was seen
in the early autumn.
In the same row Of cottages live
Mr.. and Mrs. Newoy. simple old
folks, who give the impression that
they are not equal to inventing yarns
about will o. the wisps or nocturnal
phenomena.
"One Sunday night quite recently"
said Mr.. Newly, 81 saw the bird,
and said to my wife that thought
il was someone coming across the
meadow with a lantern. The light
has come quite close while / have
been in the backyard. and II has settl.
cd on a tree In the orchard"
Not all the eye.witnesses can tes-
tify that the outline Of the bird has
been visible to them at the same time
as the light. George Newly, how
ever, Cowman at the Hall, big
house which appears to he in the
zone Of the winged mystery. said:
II was going to the cow-house
one night when I distinctly saw an
owl fly from the trees and past the
house. Somewhere near its head II
had a light. which shone out like a
bright star"
All these good people Indignantly
reject the idea that they are being
bamboozled by a practical joker.

PARIS. March 6.-Full detail OF
the past of Serge de LEM. the gen.

addresses of his prospective victims.
This elegantly-dressed and mono
cled burglar actually lived with his
parents, who. though he had given
them trouble in the past. and had,
in fact. been denied the house. were
unaware OF the double life he was
leading.
His extradinary career may well
attract the attention CT psychologists
and criminiologists. for he is a Grim.
inal Of a new generation. Not only
his appearance but his speech and
gestures convey the impression that
ne Is young man OF ultra-re1ine'
ment. And there is this popularity
about him-he glories in the role he
has played.
He made the most Of his name in
pursuing his career of crime. At
Nice, Pau and Ostend he was to be
found in the best circles, and when
he disappeared jewels. objects Of art.
and furs were missing.
At the house of a woman who
styled herself a comtesse a large
number OF articles which the police
suspect to have been stolen were dis
covered. She denied having received
stolen property, and declares that
she is the victim of the burglar.

BOYS ARE ARRESTED
 ON LARCENY CHARGE;
 TWO ARE BOUND OVER

Arrested on warrants charging lar ceny in a store, seven boys, 10 to 10 years old. were arrldgned in the To- cal Juvenile Court before Judge V. A. Paine and two others about lI years cid were arraigned in the U. 5. Commissioners Court. Two other bows were arrested and were to be arrafgned in the Juvenile Court this afternoon and warrants are out for two others who had not been arrest cd late today
 Earl Encngen and E. Scataglini, who were arraigned in the Commls- sioner's Court, were bound over to the grand jury by Judge Paine.
 All the other boys taken up in the Juvenile Court were committed to the custody of their parents, subject to further action by the court "These boys are on probation, said Judge Paine. "They will be required to settle all damages incurred through their misdemeanors, to ab- Il in from the use of tobacco, to keep off the streets after p. m.' and the Court will ask the school authorities to keep it informed on their work in school during the pe' rod of their probation.
 He added that the Court had not taken more drastic action owing to the age of the boys and the fact that apparently they were led into mis- conduct by older lads.
 The warrants were sworn out early this week following the discovery late last week by city police author ities of several boys in possession of quantity of eigarets, cigars, candy. chewing gum and other ar uicles. They are said to have ad' mitted to taking them from the Gem Parlors. The s. F. Company place near Ferry Way is also said to have been entered by the same band.

SPUHN ISLAND FARMER HAS SUCCESS RAISING
 SWEDISH SUGAR PEAS

c. J. Dahl, Spunn Island rancher brought to town today d sample of what is believed 10 be the first lot of Swedish sugar peas grown in Alaska. Mr. Dahl planted the peas late in May from seeds obtained from a Seattle seed house, and the vines have now attained growth of fully 10 feet.
 MT. Dahl says that these peas should be cooked the same as string beans, with the pods The peas them selves are rather small, but they and the pods are both tender and said to have a delicious flavor when stewed.
 To refute the commonly accepted belief that Skagway grows the only genuine sweet peas in Southeastern Alaska. MT Dahl left at The Empire office this morning bouquet of this variety of flowers. They are of wonderful colorlng. large in size and unusually fragrant and well bear out the growers contention that this section has as much right to boast of their flowers as has Skagway.
