to stories told by the survivors to
immigration officials when the craft
was brought into quarantine today.

bargained in Havana TO clandeStlne'
ly land them on American soil, he
said. had abandoned them and his
ship when their food stores ran low,
eight days ago. Each of the Chi

the owner $500 to be landed here.
The story told today in Chinese to
;,o4 IF ho
tie with axes, pistols, marlin spikes
and Delaying pins. 1t was precipi-
tated, it was believed, by the failure
of the skipper to carry out his part
of the bargain with the Orientals.
Up and down the deck of the
schooner the fight was Waged until
the white paint was covered with
blood and four British sailors and
five Chinese lay hacked and beaten
to death.
The survivors heaved the dead

The remaining fifteen Chinese,
though ignorant of the sea and the
ways of ships, were favored il the

craft drifted aimlessly. It's larders
were emptied. A distress signal was
hoisted to the masthead and it was
thus. she was sighted by Pilot Hall,
Of Sandy Hook, yesterday afternoon.
1t was after the owner of the YES
sci had abandoned her that the fight
occurred,
Some of the Chinese declared the
trouble was started by members Of
the crew who tried to extort more
money from them in order to carry
out the shippers promise to land
them.

DEPOSED PREMIER
Of BULGARIA SHOT
TODEATH BY REBELS
IrreguIarS Attacking Auto Are
Beaten Off by Troops
RevoIutionists in Full Con-
troll of Sofia

SOFIA, June 15.-(By the Asso
ciated Press.)-Former Premier
Stamboulisky, of Bulgaria, has been
killed while trying to escape.
The end of the peasant leader
career follows series of dramatic
developments beginning with the
overthrow Of his government in the
early hours of last Saturday and
the formation of a coalition govern
ment including all the opposition
parties with the exception of the
committee.
As soon as Stamboulisky became
aware OF the successful coup detat
he fled toward the mountains Of
central Bulgaria, shaving off his
moustache and Disgusting himself
as an army chauffeur.
He was deserted by most Of his
followers, only four being with him
when he arrived at Pirdot on his
way to Elisnnitza. The pursuing
troops of tn enew government over
took the party at Pirdot, but Siam
boulisl1y escaped in the forest dur.
ing the fighting in which his four
followers were overcome.
He could lot long elude the large
forces seeking him. however, and
he was captured yesterday at Molavi
a village near SlaYovitza.
Picturesque Character
Alexander Stamboulisky, known as
the peasant premier, was one of the
most picturesque personalities in
modern Bulgarian history. A man
of massive frame and tremendous
energy, he was described by the op
ponents as "a bull in a china closet"
but there was no doubt of his popu-
larity with the all-potent peasant
party.
OF the humblest peasant origin he
rose to the power of a dictator, solid.
flying under his leadership the wide
spread opposition to the war policies
of former King Ferdinand, who
threw the fortunes of his country
into the scale on the side of the CEN
trail powers in the World war.
His opposition tic Ferdinand :
policies resulted in his trial for trea-
son, and he was condemned to life
Imprisonment in the early part OF
1916 but about three years later the
armistice interviewed and he was re-
leased. While in prison he wrote
eighteen books and worked out
many of the legislative and social
reforms which later, as the admins
trative head of the country, he be-
gan to put into practice.
Treason Trials
One OF the measures which aroused
the greatest opposition to his regi-
ments was the trial of the members
of the former ministries on charges
of treason for embroiling the coun
try in war, and this opposition was
given potent expression in the re-
cent parliamentary elections, when
several of the former ministers.
while in prison, were returned to
parliamentary seats.

Preferred by Kansan
To Sunny California

TOPEKA, Kansas, June 14.-Moses
Lauderbacll, 81, prefers a cell in the
Kansas penitentiary to freedom and

so himself.
Lauderback was sent to Lansing
in 1915 after conviction on a charge
Of assault to kill. The state board
of administration last April paroled
him on the promise that he would go
to California. He went, but three
weeks later appeared at the peniten-

MRS. CROKER WINS
FIGHT FOR FORTUNE
Of TANNANY CHIEF

DUBLIN, June 1.-THE jury III
the Croker will case today returned
a verdict in favor Of Mrs. Beulah
Croker. The verdict also absolved
Mrs. Croker from having to pay any
costs of the trial.
Richard Croker, Jr., and other
heirs, brought suit to break the will
of the late boss of Tammany hall
Under the terms of which his for
tune was left to his second wife,
Beulah. a former Oklahoma girl of
Indian ancestry.
The contestants alleged that Beu-
la-l had been martied to Guy Ma
rome, q Northampton, Mass, tailor,
and that she wed Croker without
getting a divorce from Marone.
1t was further alleged that the de-
PENDANT had Influenced Mr.. Croker
in his declining years to cut off his
children by his first wife.
Witnesses were produced to testi-
fly that Mrs. Beulah Croker and Ma
rome had lived together in Massa
chusetts, and that IN ner private con-
versations with Mr.. Croker she said
things calculated to poison his mind
against his children.
In his summing up of the case, the
lord chief justice, who presided.
pointed out that there was no proof
that the defendant ever had been
married to MarOne, and that, there
fore, there was no ground for the
allegation that her marriage to
Croker was illegal.
Attorneys for Mrs. Croker attack
ed the contesting heirs, charging
that after they had been defeated
in America in one attempt to blacken
her character, they transferred the
scene of action to Ireland where
she was among strangers.
When the lord chief justice an
nownced that Cookers will would be
formally admitted to probate a wave
of tremendous applause swept the
