was about to transfer the cargo OF
the Glen Beulah aboard her when
they sighted the Yamacraw. and in
her taste to get away she struck
the little vessel. This is. strength
ened by the fact that it was known
that the Istar had no coal and no
cargo aboard and that she had
been replenishing her stock from
some quarter.
The crew Of the Glen Beulah
was brought to port and locked up
in the city Jail for further inves-
.tigation by the immigration au-
thorities.
Vessel Cut In Two.
The Glen Beulah was OF British
registry and left the Bahamas about
a week ago. In addition to losing
all their personal belongings, Cap
tain Kelly says that $1,000 in a
strong box aboard the sloop went
down. The little vessel, which was
cut completely in two, lies in about
fifty fathoms of water and 1t is
said that her cargo cannot be
salvaged.
Kelly recruited his crew from
Savannah, Miami and other south
ern ports. All are white Americans
except the cook who is a negro
and claims to be a British subject.
Kelly bases his belief that 1t
was the Mascoutin that sunk him,
on the fact that she has a black
hull and one mast, and added that
the vessel that rammed him was
of that description. He says that
he had been watching the Mas
coutin since he anchored off the
Capes and is positive that she was
not ten miles away as Government
officials assert. He remained non
committal when asked If it could
not have been the Istar while she
was making a rum transfer.

Nations opium commission today
refused to approve reservations at

ance of the American proposals for

The refusal is in keeping with

to be taken out of the measure.
Congressman Porter who a few
days ago led the American delega.
ton from the commissions hearing
when an effort was made to get
the Americans to debate further

withdrawn.
The Porter resolution. sponsored
by the American Government and

(By The Associated

ers, still lurked behind the bullet
riddled walls of the two-story brick
mess hall of tho Western State peni'

For more than two days and two
nights the three gunner have held
the improvised fortress. despite
combined efforts of prison guards
a troop of National guards. machine
and volunteer citizen rife
men to dislodge them.
The convicts seemed assured OF
holding their position until night,
following an announcement made
by Warden John Chiffon today.
Warden Chiffon said further con
~ferences and efforts to dislodge the
men would be hold up until $3.50
D. m. awaiting the arrival of three
members OF the state board OF
charities and correction. Just what
methods the board might suggest
that have not been tried by the
military power the warden did not
know.
The effective hiding places the
convicts possessed was said by
warden Chiffon to be the main diff
ficulty the state faced. He said the
conyicts evidently had used four
ninety-gallon iron steam boilers in
the front of the building and steel
sheeted bread mixer in the rear as
hiding places, and said they were
located at the only entrance ways
TO the building.
In the warden's opinion. the con.
victs could hide in these places and
zach man could stand off a regi'
ment, due to the strategic range
of fire they would control IL an ad.
vance was made upon them.
The desperate courage OF the lost
legion-those men with "all to gain
and nothing to lose"-carried the
trio through two barrages from high
power rifles and two machine guns
that drove a hail of steel jacxeted
bullets through the mess hall walls,
tearing out large holes in the north
and west sides at points where the
fire was concentrated; n gas attack
