where enthusiasm outran discretion
and caused slight disturbances.
The universal verdict is that this
has been the quietest election in

ARREST GLOUCESTER
rum PIRATES NEAR
POLICE PROMISE

Gloucester, Mass, Aug. 27.-Mem-
bers of band of seven men who,
after a successful raid on one
Canadian rum runner a month ago,
which netted them $4,000, attacked
the British schooner J. Scott Hank
enson off Rockport a week ago,
wounded Arthur Moore and Cook
Harry Harm, and got nothing for
their pains, are being traced by
Gloucester and federal authorities, it
became known today.
Carl Eoss, of Gloucester, who was
arrested last week in Beverly charg
nection with the pirate raid on the
Hankenson, was held in $4,000 bail
in district court here today. The re-
quest was made by counsel for VOss
for reduced bail was denied by the
Judge in view of the serious nature
of Captain Moore'S wounds. The
captain was shot through the stom-
ach when armed men invaded his
cabin to demand the profits of his
rum voyage from Nova Scotia. The
cooks wounds were minor.
While no charge is made that Noss
was concerned in the previous raid
names of the men who took part in
the two piraticGl attacks are known
to the authorities 1t is claimed, and
arrests are promised hourly. Several
of them whose homes aree in this city
have been missing since the Hanken-
son incident. One is said to be in
New York. All, according to the
police, have for some time been en-
gagged in the business of transport
ipo IN ssy,on chincr lXn er
off Cape Ann to North Shore points.
The story of the first pirate raid off
Gloucester was known to the authori-
ties but was not made public. A rum
running schooner hailing from Var
mouth. y. S., was anchored out to sea,
with half of her cargo disposed of. One
day motorboat approached and the
crew of the schooner. believing that
customers had arrived, allowed sew
eral men from the launch to come
aboard. No sooner had these reached
the deck than they drew revolvers and
covered captain and crew. There was
no resistance. The pirates escaped
unscathed. with SIS 006. The schooner
sailed sadly back to its home port.
1t was the easy success of this ven-
turc, the police say. that encouraged
the attack on the J. Scott Hankenson
last week. But in this instance the
pirates were dealing with cautious
customer The day before the attack
Captain Moore had gone ashore and
placed il the bank some $4,000. When
the guns flashed the captain made
stout resistance and at least one of
the assailants was wounded. The pi-
rates retreated with only S35 as
Spoils.
The motorboat used by the attacking
party, a fleet launch known as the
Greyhound and with a rum-running
history in New York waters, was found
next day abandoned. An attempt had
been made to sink the vessel. which
action. the police believe. was taken
as a means of conccaling the pirates
identity.
