2 WEEKS IN STORM
WITHOUT A RUDDER
PannOnia Steered Into Port by
Tug After 20 Day Trip
From London.

The Cunarder Pannonia, recently
banished to the cargo carrying service
arrived last evening from London after
the most tumultuous and longest trip
OF her career. and came up to her
hudson River pier with a tug acting as
her rudder, her own having been smashed
In one OF the many hurricane tempests
that Kept her staggering twenty-nine
days through fierce seas.
From January % the liner was steerei
entirely by her twin screws. after her
skipper. Capt. Grunow, war veteran
had made several hazardous attempts
to repair the rudder. in which the lives
of volunteers were in peril.
The mightiest winds and waves came
in midocean on January %, when the
barometer fell to 27.S0. The Pannonia
kept her Prov to the upheaval and
vainly used oil to smooth the crests
that occasionally curled aboard. The
skipper used the old time term 'moun-
famous" to describe the great gray
backs" When the storm subsded a
bit 1t was found that the ship would
not answer her helm. An officer was
lowered over the stern and reported
that the rudder post had broken off at
the twenty-five foot draft mark and
a six foot section of the rudder blade
had been carried away.
The liner proceeded slowly, steering
with her twin screws, until the seas were
less wild, four days later. when Capt.
Grunovr ordered the after ballast tanks
emptied and the forward ones filled to
bring the stern up so that as much as
possible of the undamaged part OF the
rudder might be brought out OF the
water. Chief officer Eric Rees and First
Officer Thomas Mitchell went over the
stern in bo's'ns chairs and after an
hours hard work they made az inch
wire hawser fast to the swaying rudder.
The officers were being hauled aboard
when big sea slapped under the stern

pieces and letting the rudder thrash

SENATOR WATSON'S
IMPEACHMENT ASKED
American Legion Post in Ala

Special Dispatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALp
SELMA, Ala. Feb. 10.-Declaring that
the presence of Thomas Il. Watson Of
Georgia cast "a taint OF disloyalty upon
the United States Senate because of his
boasted defense of draft dodgers during
the war" and condemning his charges
OF illegal hangings OF American soldiers
in France. as improved and distorted.
the American Legion Post here last
night adopted resolutions calling on
Ala abama's citizens TO use all means
within their power TO obtain the inn
parchment Of the Senator from Georgia.
The resolutions. which stated that
Watson charged all officers with being
''murderers" and all enlisted men "ac-
cessories to murder" were adopted
unanimously, only one voice protesting
that the resolutions, which were bitter
in denunciation of Senator Watson were
too mild.

WOMEN ARE SWINDLED IN
THE BUCKET SHOPS HERE

the Office when the man from New
Jersey entered.
Sold at Seven Times Value.
To get back to our knitting, here is
another example of efforts to hook the
foreign element, which came to light
only yesterday. This appears to be an
effort to sell foreign securities at an
excessively high figure and would pro-
vide so much profits to the "broker"
that he probably would not bother him
self with the convolutions of failure to
deliver.
This offer has been made by circular
letter from at least two New York
houses and has undergone investiga-
ton by the vigilance committee of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World. which is cooperating with the
District Attorneys Office in disclosing
frauds The matter in question has
been called informally to the attention
OF the District Attorney. and here is
the confidential report of the vigilance
committee with the names of the bro
kerage houses alleged to be back of
the deal omitted:
So and so. brokers, of New York
for some time have been offering
through the mails an issue of the City
of Warsaw (Poland) per cent. i'm
provement bonds, in units of 10000
marks each, at a price Of S19.S5 per
unit of 10000 marks.
In the circulars sent out it is
stated that if Polish exchange returns
to par each of these bonds will be
worth s2,3SO, or $119 for every dollar
invested. It is further stated that il
the bond is laid away in a few years
one should be able to cash it with an
amazing profit.
when these bonds were originally
offered, Polish exchange was at about
6-100 of l cent per mark. making
the actual value of these bonds about
sc per. 10000 mark unit, instead OF
the s19S5 at which they were Of
fered
although in the circular investors
are urged to take advantage of this
offer before Polish exchange increase;
in value. the fact remains that since
tie offer was originally made Polish
marks have gone down until they are
now worth about 3-100 of l cent pei
mark, or a value of about SO per 10,-
600 mark bonds, although the brokers
are offering them at $19.S5.
I'VE are informed that the Polish
Government has printed about one
hundred billions of marks, and that
there is small probability that these
will ever return to anything like par.
On the contrary, it is generally held in
financial circles that the Polish Gov
erpment eventually may repudiate the
paper money in which these bonds are
payable.
Furthermore, since these bonds
we're originally offered TO the Amerl
can public instead of the mark having
increased in value, it has steadily gone
duwr. This information Is presented
for your attention in case your read
ers may be interested in knowing the
facts concerning this offer of City OF
Warsaw securities"

During the last three months the jury
has been meeting before Justice Cole
at regular periods, only to be adjourned

six indictments are affected by this
decision, but the total number of de-

The indictments were found last sum-

Gov. Miller was held and indictments
were found. The attorneys for the in

Killeen e. Nye, brought an action to
restrain the prosecution of the indict-
nent and the enforcement of the law
UPON the ground that the law was un-
constitutional.
A question involved, also said to be
new in the courts of the State Of New

could be maintained i'm any case to re-
strain criminal prosecution. In decid-
Ing this question in favor of the gravel
corporation the Supreme Court followed
the decisions of the Supreme Court of
the United States, holding that in a
proper case court of equity has power
to restrain criminal prosecution brought
under an unconstitutional statute.
The question as to the constitutional
ity of the Donnelly law, as amended,
also was raised before Justice Cole in a
motion to quash the indictments. The
decision handed down by Justice Pooley
is In an equity action. but corporation
lawyers expect it will be followed in
the criminal cases against others than
the indicted gravel dealers, and that
these indictments will be dismissed.
