Coast Guards
Capture Pair.
Of Rum Ships.
Crew of Vessel Carrying 1000
Cases of Alcohol Nearly
Dead of Thirst.

SANDWICH, Mass. Dec. Icy
A. P)-The schooner Salvatrice with
1000 cases OF alcohol aboard flying
the French flag upside down as a
sign OF distress and the Boston
schooner Star, well stocked with
ships supplies, were captured to-
gether off this port today by the coast
guard crew commanded by Capt.
Chris Sullivan. The Salvatrice. os-
tensibly bound from Antwerp for
Santiago, Cuba, was put under arm
ed guards as a probable rum runner;
the Star was similarly guarded an
probable supply ship for vessels in
this contraband trade. Both vessels
will be taken 70 Boston by the coast
guard cutter Acushnet.
The Star was caught only after a
chase In which Capt Sullivan fired
a shot from his revolver after Frank
Nolan, the mate who was in charge,
failed TO heed an order TO stop.
Water, Water, All Around"
With alcohol aplenty on board the
Salvatr!ce Ernest Poulard of St.
Pierre, Miquelon, and Ange Cavelier
OF Halifax, her curtailed crew, were
almost dead of thirst. having no
fresh water They had tried TO drink
salt water with sickening results.
Both hands of Poulard, mate of the
vessel and in temporary command
were frost bitten. Cavelier was at
the point Of exhaustion and fell
asleep after the vessel was boarded.
The schooner itself, a trim little
knOckabout built for fishing, was in
as bad shape as its crew. Beaten by
many stOrms-the last Of them off
Nantucket a few days ago, having
blown her out to sea while her cap
tain, cook and another man were
ashore-the schooner lost both
anchors, sprung a leak and took in
so much water that the coast guard
crew was kept busy during the day
exchanging the duties of guarding
the vessel with those of pumping out
the water in the Salvatrice's hold.
Alcohol Thrown Overheard
POulard accounted for about 100
cases Of alcohol that were missing
by saying he and Cavelier had TO
throw them overheard to keep the
schooner from sinking.
The Star, a schooner 46 feet long,
said to be owned by Vineenzo Alba.
OF Revere. had to put two of her
three men on the Salvatrice before
the coast guards got out to the latter.
There had been no transfer of alcohol
10 her, however, it was said. The
coast guards found the Star to be
carrying a cargo of canned goods
supply her for almost a year, but
Mate Nolan said they were all for
use by him and his men. The Star
was a fisherman. he said. after

The assassination in Warsaw today
of Gabriel Narutowicz, first president

mace Jan Paderewski, noted pianist

wife showed him the headlines In
the papers.
Telling reporters that had the
news not been withheld from him,
he would have cancelled the con-

please express my absolute con-
domination and regret of the act
which has taken place. This is the
first time in the history Of Poland
that a ruler has been assassinated."
