KREUGER BROTHERS
 ARE REPORTED SAFE
Missing Airmen Held Up by Snug glers After Swimming From
 Their Wrecked Plane.

Miami, Fla. Sept. 21.-Bert and Harold Krueger have arrived safely at their home in Stuart, Fla, after being missing five days in the hydro airplane Bluebird which left Barne- gat Bay Sept. 1, en route to Stuart, where 1t was intended for service in a passenger-carrying service,
 They reached home by rail Tuesday night and told story of thrilling ad- venture Engine trouble finally pre- cipitated a crash into the eea near Cumberland Island The impact with the water damaged their aircraft be- yond repair and the young men swan to the shore.
 Their approach was watched from the undergrowth by liquor snug gler, who, when they stepped on the shore, thrust his rifle under their noses and threatened to kill them He said he would whittle bit and then shoot them full of holes.
 Several times as they attempted to convince the smuggler that they were merely the unfortunate victims of an accident and had no designs what ever on AlS CdCHe ol bdHdHih iSldid hooch, he raised his rifle with a finger on the trigger and told them to shut up.
 Newspaper accounts of prohihi- tion fleet of airplanes intended for use in running down smugglers oper- ating between the Bahama Islands and the Florida coast, the young men said, were responsible for the snug gler's attitude toward them.
 They finally convinced him that they were not revenue officers and. instead of shooting them, he aided them in Tagging a southbound train. which they boarded with his assist- ance and best wishes.
 Both young men said they had en- zine trouble almost from the start and were forced several times to alight before their final crash demol- ished the Bluebird.

LUST LIKE A ROSE
 BETWEEN TH0RNS
Poor Scouts Don't Know Which
 Is Right

London, Sept .22-lt would ap- pear to be the fate of Boy Scouts the world over to have to listen to good advice from their elders, In Eng land the boys take 1t good humored . ly and patiently as all in the days work.
 But recently a group of Scouts must have been perplexed as well as amused, when the good advice from two speakers did not in the least agree. They had come to Bedford to attend church. The Vicar, the Rev. A. O. Cheney, addressed them. He warned them against smoking as
 "a dirty and disgusting habit" He told them 10 remember to keep the Sabbath day holy and not to go about
 making q noise and disturbing the villages (The boys had marched to church headed by bugles and drumso
 Nor, he said, should anything be done on Sunday which entailed extra work for anyone. (The villagers had agreed to entertain the visiting scouts to teal. The Vicar said he never en- tertained anyone on Sundays: people should stay at home on Sunday and help along the activities of the church.
 After the service Lord Ampthill got his turn at the boys. He said that smoking had been helpful to some of the greatest men in the world. One of the wisest phioso- phers used to smoke like chimney. But of course, it wouldn't be right for small boys to smoke.
 He always entertained his friends on Sunday, he said He honored God by going to church Sunday morn ing, but afterward he sometimes did a bit of carpentry, The idea of Sun day, he told the boys, was that it should be 8 day of rest which meant a abstention from ordinary work. Man ual labor on Sundays rested him rather more than anything else be- cause. during the week he had to attend good many meetings in hot stutfy rooms
 So long as thy did not disturb the peace of their villages, they need have no compunctions in turning out on Sunday to pay friendly compli ment to new troop.
 One of the grown-ups suggested that the Peer and the Parson should hold public discussion on the sub ject, the proceeds to be divided equal ly between the church and the scouts.

N. J. MURDERS WERE
 ENACTED IN DREAM
Woman Witness Furnishes Au- thorities With Interesting Tale

I New Brunswick, N. J., Sept 21 (By Associated Press)-The house ot
 mystery that stands on a knoll on the crabapple tree beneath which the l Rev, Edward Wheeler Hall and his l choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills were found slain last Saturday was brought forcibly back into the pie ture today by an uncanny story told by Mrs. Charles A. DeRussy, one time playmate of the slain rector's widow, and resident for 16 years in the ram- shackle building.
 Mrs. De Russy said she had visit ed the old homestead last June with a woman friend, whose name she re- fused to divulge. This woman, she said, pointed out the identical tree under which the bodies were found with the comment:
 This would be an ideal place for a murder"
 She attempted to laugh it off, Mrs. De Russy said but the woman re- torted:
 You think I am testing. Some 'doS you ilidJ ICdu OI lcdi OI d der here.'
 Last Monday night-three days after the bodies had been discovered-sh had a dream, in which she saw the murders committed in a second floor room of the west wing of the build. ing.
 She had visited the place she said in the hope she might visit that room to ascertain whether certain objects were there which she saw in her dream. She did not wish to attach undue importance to her dream, or vision" she said. but if the articles she saw in her dream were actually so placed in the room, she might be inclined to take the dream as son. thing more than coincidence.
 Mrs. De Russy declined to give de- tails of her dream or to say who the dream murderer" was She was unable to gain access to the house as it's owner had had it carefully locked and posted with mo trespass- ing" signs.

South Bend Ind, Sept. o1.-Direct examination Of Prof John Herman husband of Mrs, Augusta Tiernan who charges Harry Pouin with the pater- nity of her ten months old child, will be continued today,
 Examination of Prof Tierna.H has been marked by lengthy interruptions by oontending counsel Most of yes terday and part of Tuesdays sessions was taken up with wrangling by the attorneys over the admissibility Of testimony concerning the marital re- lations between the professor and his wife during a period before the child was born, the testimony finally being ruled out by Judge pucomb.
 Denies Parentage.
 Chief points brought out in the ex- animation were a denial by the pro lessor of the parentage of the child and the assertion that Poulin admit ted to him the parentage and asked to make a settlement of the case by offering to pay the expenses of ac- couchment. He also told of frequent absences of his wife from home, os- tensibly to attend church, Mrs. Tier nan previously had testified that she was with Poulin during these ab- sences. He told that Pouin showed unusual attentions to Mrs. Tiernan at dances and parties which the two families attended together,
 Another incident recited by the wit ness was a meeting on the street with Poulin shortly after the baby was born. Tiernan said when he informed Poulin of the birth of the child the latter turned and with scarcely a word, strode quickly away.
 Mrs Mae Poulin, wife of the de- fendant. summoned by the state, will probably follow Herman on the stand today She has maintained a staunch belief in her husbands innocence.
