the ships officers were unable to
direct the course of the boat and
the captain was forced under threat
Of death TO steer the ship according

While six men held the crew, 9TH
ers ransacked the cabins. opening
everything, Sitting trunks and
handbags with knifes. The plum
derers then piled all the loot into
sacks. At midnight. after four
hours ransacking, the ho.dup men
announced that their task was COM
pleted.
The boat was then off Koppa
where. according to the plans of the
holdup men. a motor boat was to
meet them and take them ashore.
but there being no motor boat in
sight the chief of the gang ordered
the captin to lower the life boats
and row them ashore with their
booty.
The captain refused TO leave his
ship. but the remaining officers were
obliged to carry out the bandits
orders. once ashore the bandits
disappeared in the thick of a forest
where they proceeded to divide the
spoils. Each received 100000 rou-

remaining spoils was left to the
following day.
The gang then parted eight of
them making for the village of

what are purchasers Of homes
in the Gardens, who cannot get
titles to their properties, to do next
Monday moving day?' was asked
of Mr. Cornell.
we have anticipated that situa-
ton" was the reply. See those
punches of keys hanging on that
blackboard containing the addresses
Of each house? Well those keys rep
resent vacant houses"
There were about thirty punches
of keys hanging on hooks on a
large blackboard. covering almost
the entire side wall OF the office.
ANY family which has purchased
a home in the Gardens and cannot
get a settlement by next Monday
and move into it. will be accom-
modated in any one of these vacant
houses" said Mr.. Cornell.
"Of course such families shall
have to pay rent?" was asked.
Certainly. but we shall charge
rent only for the number of days
the house is occupied and until the
family can get into its own home"
Here Mr.. Cornell stated that the
average rent for a Gardens home is
from $35 to S3s for houses in rows.
and from $40 to Sal for semi-de-
tached or detached properties. He
also said that Philip Kramer, who
Is a member OF the office staff, is
employed chiefly in collecting in
back rent.
All rent money thus collected is
turned over to the Shipping Board.
of which Mr.. Kramer is an en-
ploye.
Mr.. Cornell also said that some
Of the empty houses re-
fused TO occupy and pay rent for
them declaring they wanted 10 own
the properties and not TO rent them.
Altogether there will be about SIS
deeds necessary to transfer the
houses. apartments and stores TO the
individual purchasers. As already
stated only about 80 settlements thus
far have been made since June 81
when the blanket deed conveying
the entire property 20 Margaret /
Virgins was filed.
'No trust company remarked
Mr.. Cornell, figures on making more
than one property settlement an
hour, or eight per day"
How long. then. do YOU antici-
nate II will he before the Gardens

asked.
About the end of July. I should
say" reiterated Mr.. Cornell. who
again was interrupted by telephone
call from an other anxious purchas-
er desiring to know when he could
move into his home.
Mr.. Cornell said that Mr.. Green

REPORT GOOD SHOWING OF OIL
FOR ARRASMITH WELL EAST OF
NINNEkAH; OILERS INTERESTED

The well being drilled by ARA
smith ct al. two miles east of Min
nekah is threatening to make some
sort of an oil well, according to re-
ports received from Chickasha men
who visited the location yesterday.
The well is located on the MUTT
farm, section 31-6n-6w. For several
weeks they have been drilling to
complete the well to contract depth
in order that they might move the
tools to their new location on the
Thomas farm. section 19-5n-7w.
According to the reports circulated
here today, they struck a sand at a
depth supposed to be around 22O0
feet. The Chickasha men who were
watching the well, stated that in
their opinion, the drill, rat-tail,
was some four or five feet in the
sand and the slush was showing
plenty of rainbows. The reports
were to the effect that it was as
good showing as had been seen

Washington, Aug. 21.-Steps were
being taken in congress today to
push through two of the measures
recommended by President Harding
for meeting the strike situation
The house was prepared to pass
ihis week a bill setting up q federal
commission to investigate every
phase of coal mining industry in the
hope that such an inquiry will lay
the basis for permanent peace in
this strike-beset industry
Such a bill was to be introduced
today by Chairman Winslow of the
Interstate Comm ce Commission
and this probably will be set as the
model upon which the house wilh
take action
Although the senate is taking
rest until Wednesday from the long
tariff grind, the foreign relations
committee met on the presidents
proposal for legislation giving fed
eral courts power to protect the
treaty rights of aliens so that the
federal government could intervene
and punish those responsible for
violence such as the Herrin, Illinois
massacre.

Those who asked Johnst0wn bar

An entire new set OF prohibition
slueths from Philadelphia had stopped
the beer spree which started Satur.
day when Mayor Cauffiel issued a
tricky statement on the basis OF
which saloonists started selling eight
percent brew at ten cents stein.
The mayor has explained that when
he said real beer could be sold" he
meant beer of less than one.half Of
one percent alcohol content.
The vets, who Saturday hailed the
mayor as regular fellow" were in.
censed at him today.
The mayor openly admitted that he
issued his statement to draw the at.
tention of federal and state prohibit

He accomplished his purpose.

Henry Cabot Lodge, facing one of
the greatest battles of his long poll
teal career, will begin his personal
campaign for denomination with a
series of speeches to Massachusetts

revenge for his part in defeating
Woodrow Wilson's Versailles treaty,
the republican senate leader will
make an old fashioned campaign with
numerous speeches.
Lodge will begin with an appeal to
the women, upon whom the democrats
are relying to encompass his defeat.
