Walster, professor of agronomy at
the North Dakota Agricultural col

New York, June lathe crew of
gers missing from the two-masted
schooner Mary Beatrice found drift
ing off Sandy Hook last night were
killed in a battle of pistols and axes,
according to stories told by the sur
vivors to immigration officials when
the craft was brought into quaran-
tine today.
Three of the Is Chinese survivors
were taken to the hospital at Ellis
Island. The remainder were detained
pending investigation by the auth
critics.
When the Beatrice was boarded
last night by officials one of the Or
ientals making signs indicated tina.
his comrades and members of the
crew who were missing had found
resting places in the sea but did not
explain in what manner they died.
The story told in Chinese to an in
terpreter was of pitcned battle with
axes, pistols, marlin spikes and be-
laying pins. 1t was precipitated, it
was alleged, by the failure of the
shipper to carry out part of his
bargain to smuggle the Chinese into
the United States for which service
he was to be paid $500 per head by
the Chinese.
Up and down the deck of the
schooner the fight was ragged until the
whole place was covered with blood
and four British sailors and five Chi
nese had been beaten to death. The
remaining Is Chinese though ignor.

ships were favored in the ensuing
days Of the trip by fair weather, the
craft drifted aimlessly. The larders
were empted. A distress signal was
hoisted to the masthead and thus sh.

ARE RAILROAD EARNINGS
GUARANTEED?

Members of certain political group have been charg
ing that the Transportation Act, 1927 (the Esch
Cummins Law "GUARANTEES' the railroads six per
cent earnings the valuation placed their properties
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Transportation Act 1920, provided that the rates
should be fixed high enough by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to allow the roads to FAIR RETURN,
after September LIST, 1920 the valuation placed
their properties by the Commission.
In 1920 the Commission declared that six per cent
the valuation adopted by it would be fair return. In
1922 declared that five and threefourths per cent
would be a fair return
AS matter Of fact, the rates fixed by the Commission
yielded the roads whole only THREE per cent in 1921
the valuation adopted by the Commission; and only
FOUR per cent in 1922.
If it were TRUE that earnings of six per cent
guaranteed the Government would have been obliged to
pay the roads many millions Of dollars for the years 1921

made to any railroad.

MATINEE CROOK TELLS HOW HE
 MADE HALLS

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Mr. Thomas F. Belford, matinee burglar" flicked a speck of dust from an immaculate sleeve and politely stifled a yawn. The prospect of explaining how he had cleaned up $2oo,O00 by casual visits to the homes of choice prospects was boring.
 But the youthful specialist is a gen. tleman and philosopher.
 No Schooling Needed
 "One does not need to go to a polite school of burglary to be able to jim. my lock-" he said between contented puffs of cigarette. "The whole pro. cedure is very simple.'
 Here he meditated upon the trick of fate that landed him in an iron cell instead of in his customary Broad. way restaurant It was all due to the fact that he poached on the preserves of his fellow craftsmen, he explained When he had confined his activities to sociable afternoon calls he had managed to earn profitable liveli- hood, but when for the first time he tired of union hours and tried the night shift he met with disaster. He was caught.
 Scorned "BurgIars"
 'T never associated with burglars, Belford explained disdainfully. "They are crude, and dislike things crudely done. I never carried any of the for midable array of tools that the com mon burglar carries. It is unneces- sary. All one needs is a good front and a jimmy-and I can jimmy almost any kind of lock-" he added with par donable pride.

Americans who spend millions abroad for scenery and recreation are told in the annual report ot the National Park Service, made public recently, that these may be found m greater abundance and beauty in their native land
 Winter sports, now in the minds of those who can afford the ever increasing cost of a trip to Font Romcu in the French Pyrcnces. or somewhere in the Swiss Alps, are among the things that may be had here at home. The report calls attention to "the meNcelled opportunities offered in the national parks for winter vacaioning and winter sports, y and asserts.
 ''Those in Yosemite Valley are declared to srrpass thc offerings of many foreign winter rcso1ts Rocky Mountain, Mount Rainier and Iafavcttc National Parks are also available for winter sports in surroundings neNcelled. "
