NEW YORK, May IA skipper and rebellious crew of 20, driven to desert rum row by the bangs of hunger and thirst, hove into quaran- tine aboard the British yacht Yank- ton today and ran up the saffron flag which sent customs officials scurryIns aboard her

The crew openly announced they had b-en running rum between the Bahamas and Miami, Fla. and had been forced ashore when their last cargo was transferred to tug at sea, their manager had been abducted by the tuemen and they were left without provisions and money.
 While captain and crew were taken to customs headquarters to be warned rp, fhl ana questioned, the Yankton vas anchored off quaran- tine. with 2 guard of federal otfl- cials aboard, to await decision whether the yacht would be subject to libel by the government as a transporter of liquor.
 Three weeks ago, as members of the starving crew related the story. the T&nk:or arrived off the Kew Jer- sey coast with 5000 cases of pure alcohol in her hold. The ships bus mess manager and super cargo, whose name the sailors said was Ernest Corn, was abducted Some of the liquor was disposed of in small lots to Visiting crafts that ran the gauntlet of revenue cutters off shore.

 vertS

NEW YORK, May 14.-Fred Stone. noted comedian evangelist on Broad way last night, and the old street had d new topic for conversation today.
 roar of applause greeted him as he finished one of the eccentric dances that have made him famous. and 6.000 persons who packed the Metropolitan opera house at the na- tional vaudeville artists benefit per- formance waited for him to swing into another buck and wing. Instead Stone held up his hand for quiet.
 I've got something, to tell you people" he said.
 The audience hushed for 1t was remembered that Stone some weeks ago, had professed religion after he had been snowbound for several days on a train in the west.
 Recently I made statement" continued the comedian. that has been taken up by the public more was my decision to cease being pas sive sort of Christian and become an active worker for God.
 T want to make that statement over again. l want to tell you peo- pie that a time comes in every mans life when he wants to come out and take step like this. When you have done this you can feel secure. at peace with the world, and face the future with confidence.
 T have been criticized for not abandoning my profession after I came out for the Lord Jesus Christ. l want to say that my profession is as good as any in the world and why should I abandon it any more than any other professional man should abandon his when he becomes "a Christian.
 God need not be worshpped with in the four walls of church. We may carry the thought of God with us in everything that we do."
 The comedian finished his speech, evidently made on the spur of the moment by asking his listeners to Init the trail"
 A thunder of applause followed him from the stage, a far greater ovation than the one given his ec- centric dance.
