Details Of Tragic
End Schooner
PendletOn Told

Yarmouth. n. s., Dec. c7-Details
of the tragic end of the auxiliary
schooner Grace n. pendleton in a
storm off Cuxhaven. Germany, on
Nov. 10, and the loss of Is members
OF her crew of Is were brought here
today by the two survivors, the ships
cook and the second engineer, Odber
Pothier of Boston.
Pothier. whose father was the
schooner's skipper. said that on the
night of Nov. IA the Pendleton was
rammed by a steamer which con-
tinued on her way without offering
aid to the stricken vessel, or even
making her identify known. The
Pendleton filled SO rapidly, Pothier
said. that the water in the holds
gained on the men at the pumps and
Captain Pothier's attempts to drive
her into CuXhaven harbor, were frus-
trated by a screechins gale which
sent her on the drifting sands at the
mouth Of the Elbe.
The Is men aboard dOnned lifebelts
and dashed themselves to the rigging,
but all but two of them were swept
away by the raging sea which broke
over the ship as she settled into the
sands. Engineer Pothier and the
ships cook managed to keep their
Drecarious holds until the storm had
blown over late on the 18th, when
they were rescued by a tug.

Data Regarding
Red Organizations
in Madrid, Spain

Madrid, Dec. 27.-(By A. Po-
Coincident. with the discovery of the
communist plot, interesting data re-
garding the communist organizations
has been made public here. The
communist are said to represent the
third (communisD International of
MOSCOW and to have among it's men,
bership dissenting Spanish socialists.
A small group of intellectuasl of the
socialist youth organization detached
themselves from the socialist party
three years ago and engaged in fur
therlnS their revolutionary ideas ac-
cording to official statements.
Then the communists began to
branch out, forming small organi-
cations of workmen. Many of these
organizations were set up without
government authorization, thus vio-
lating the law governing associations.
They are declared to have agitators
among the legal workmen's organi-
cations and to have disseminated
their doctrine by means of pamph-
lets and special newspapers.
Leaders of the communists made
several trips to Moscow to attend
meeting of the internationale and
to obtain funds for propaganda
among the workers of Spain. The
Spanish government did not hinder
In any way the activities of the
working classes until the discovery
or the communist plot which was
broken up by the arrest of the lead
ers. 1t is declared that the COM
muniSts had misled the authorities
with regard to their actual inten-
lions. forming societies and giving
them the aspect of sporting clubs.
A majority of those arrested are
young men who are without political
history.

Although but .13 years of age, little
Miss Annette Poulin the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George Poulin of Is
Bond street teaches a class of SO
children at st. Regis Academy in
Berlin, N. H., a job that would phase
many older girls and even women.
To see this little smiling girl, with
her dark eyes and bobbed brown
hair, in which shines a silver bar
rett, one can hardly vision her as a
school teacher.
However. she not only teaches this
large class of youngsters, some of
whom are, but four or five years
younger than herself, but in the af-
and in addition to the usual studies,
takes typewriting, shorthand and
studies music.
Miss Poulin was educated in the
st. Augustine parochial school in this
city, graduating in May of last year,
the youngest member of her class.
She began her work at st. Regis
Academy, a parochial school at Ber-
lin, in September of this year, and
is furthering her own education at
the same time that she teaches Eng
fish to this large class of children.
In this way she earns much OF the
mono neeQed 10 unance ner own
tuition.
Her day begins at $3.50 and from
then until 11:15 she is busy teach
ing reading. writing. and arithmetic
to the children, who range in ages
from five to nine years. The class is
divided into four divisions. In
answer to a question as to the diff
Guilty of keeping discipline in large
class like this. with such slight diff
ference in the age of the pupils and
the teacher, she stated that she was
more stern than she appeared when
interviewed, and in truth this seemed
necessary as she possesses a most
contagious smile.
After dinner she takes up her own
studies being in the ninth grade.
These with the typewriting, short
hand and study of the piano. occupy
the entire afternoon. OF the three
special courses which she takes. she
prefers shorthand. 1t is her inten-
ton to complete her studies at this
school, which will require two more
ye3rs.
= Miss Poulin is passing two weeks
at the home of her parents in Au-
Susta, before returning to Berlin to
resume her work for the winter term.
She has many friends in this city
and her vacation here was made the
occasion of a delightful party which
was attended by about 35 of her
young friends. She will return to
Berlin January 5.

Sary adjuncts to a New England
boiled dinner and were a part of the
menu of last evening.
The feed was furnished by the
group designated as the "halfbreeds" 4,
and was prepared by chef Haskell in
a manner absolutely beyond criticism.
Not only those members who freely
admit that a boiled dinner is one of
their favorite collati0rs, but also
those who usually are rather hest
tant when Thursday comes, seemed
to appreciate the repaSt of last eve
ming as they never had before.
Following the supper, brief but
pepful post-prandial exercises were
held, with group singing of several
faVorite numbers, also a most Won
derful rendition of the 'Marseillaise"
by Charles and j. Frank Bilodeau.
Exalted ruler, j. Francis Macnicholl,
who presided at the session Thurs
day evening, reported that the Elks
Santa Claus carried Christmas cheer
and happiness into many Augusta
homes last Tuesday. In response to
the letters written to the santa Claus
in whom they had absolute childish
faith and confidence, gifts of toys,
clothing, and many other articles of
utility and enjoyment were present
ed to SO little Augusta children.

committee who had this splendid eff
fort in charge were Interesting and
in every case indicated the gratitude
of the recipients, and were an in
spiration for continuance to a vastly
greater degree throughout the COM
ing year and at Christmas time in

unostentiously, but none the less ef-
fectively;
1t was announced 1t the supper
last evening that the supper at the
next regular meeting two weeks from
last night will be furnished by broth
er Fred Perry and viii be pork and
beans.

Washington, Dec. ZT-Consldefa-
ton of the treasury tax bill was sus-
pended by members of the house
ways and means committee TO-DAY

a subcommittee had been studying
the administrative provisions OF the
measure.
A meeting Of the sub committee
today was enlivened by charges from
Representative Garner. of Texas.
ranking Democrat on the ways and
means committee, and other minor
ity members that the Republicans
were deliberately keeping details OF
tn bill from the public SO as to pro-
mote "the propaganda that is being
carried on in its favor"
The Republican members Of the
sub committee. declined, however. to
release committee members from
thir pledge of keeping dtails of the
such had been the practice in the
past during committee consideration
Of a measure submitted by the
treasury.
Mr.. Garner insisted that If the
taxpayers were familiar with all
details in the bill some of them would
not be SO active in the measures be-
half.
II do not think it is fair to the
people," said Mr.. Garner, "to con-
slider in secret provisions of the bill
proposed by the administration. The
country is entitled to know what is
under discussion. and to express its
opinion before the stage of discus
sion has passed"
Members of the committee have
insisted that in all its features the
bill closely follows that made public
by the Treasury. Democrats, admit
ting there are no "jokers" in the
measure, however. criticise Mr. Mel
non for not disclosing certain fea-
lures, such as the proposed creation
of a board of tax appeals, to have a
| membership of not less than seven
nor more than %. to serve for ten
years at salaries of $4,000 each, and
to be appointed by the secretary of
the treasur. without senate conf1r-
nation.
While the necessity of organizing
such a board was pointed out at va
rious times by Mr.. Mellon, it was
declared. nothing was said as to the
boards personnel or the method of
