was found, was discovered abou
1:15 o'clock by Leon Kabosky, who
was walking up George street on his
way home and heard cries for heIu
coming from across the street. He
turned quickly in the direction from
which he thought the sound came
and noticed a heavy cloud Of black
smoke gush forth from the rear OF
the building.
Kabosky then ran to the nearest
fire alarm box, and after sending in
two alarms, for about this time the
flames had started shooting from
the lower windows and doors and
making great headway, and it was
necessary that a double alarm be
sent in, he hurried back to the house
where he tried TO attract the atten-
ton Of any occupant of the burning
building by throwing stones at the
windows upstairs.
Owing to the fact that the road
and streets were so muddy audyfHss;
heavy blanket of fog had enc5r.

ing building.
Another difficulty that halted the
work of the tiremen TO a great ex-
tent and which would have probaoiv
saved Scheweloy.tz's life, had It besH
accomplished was the fact that onft
one gas mask could be found in the
equipment Of the fire companies.
About Il half hour had passed be-
fore i was known THAI Mr.. Schew-
elOyIts was in the BURNING building
This was told the hremen by a
neIghbcr, who stated that he had
seen him there in the early part Of
the evening.
As soon as this w1s learned, an
effort was made by The firemen to
try and locate the body This was
without avail, as the smoke, the
cause Ct which was the burning OF
army goods i'm tne rear of the
building, forced the fremeu to give
up their task until the smoke had
rarity cleared away.
This happened soon after and
Richard Ryan, Who wore the only
gas mask, entered the house ami
after searching about in the dark
and ciouded rooms found the dead
mans body about ton or fifteen feet
from his bedroom, where 1t is said
he was resting IN the early hours
Of the night.
At the time of the fire Mr.. Sche-
weloyitz was the only occupant Of
| the house, the rest of the family hav-
ing been visiting with friends in New
York City yesterday. They were
sent for as soon as the body was
removed. George Gundrum remoy-
ed the body.
Mr.. Schewelovitz is survived by 8

recently by tourists visiting Nassau
and federal agents are said to be in
vestigating.
Several schoonerS have sailed into
Halifax and st. john reporting that
they had been attacked by rum
pirates off New York and their car
goes seized. At first, government
agents were inclined to smile at
these reports, taking them as feeble
excuses for missing freight.
Lately, however, several events
nave served somewhat to supstan-
tiate the theory that rum runners
are meeting another foe in the jolly
rogers.
On March 8, the schooner Victor
was found, crewless, drifting around
eff the Ambrose Channel lightship-
A meal was spread in the cabin. The
cargo was gone. The theory was
advanced that pirates had captured
the crew and seized the rum.

Probe Rum Running

LONDON. March IL (By The
Associated Press)-Wholesale rum
running into the United States by a
fleet of four or five ships registered
under the Panaman flag is being
financed by a prominent German
magnate. according to information \
received in responsible American
quarters here. The fleet. it is de-
clared is being reported from the
United States end by former
German captain of a Hamburg
American liner.
The fleet itself, it is understood,
is under the command of a charac-
ter of questionable nationality who
achieved notoriety in connectlon
with marine operations of dubious
character during the war.
While absolute proof of these vast
operations is lacking, the informa- =
ton received by American circles
here points to colossal landings OIL
