The company asked for an in

RUSSIAN REFUGEES
 FIND NO HAVEN
Wanderers On Ship Refused
 Landing Place
(By Associated Press)

MARINA, Bulgaria, Nov. 16-Into the port of Varna there sailed the other Gay schooner bearing a group of Russians seeking a haven. The Rumunian authorities looked them over and, for political reasons, bade them begone without delay. Today the wan derers are headed for a Turkish port, but with little hope that they will be any more welcome there than they were here.
 It was last March that the survivors of eight Russian families, Old Be- lievers, B men, women and children, started from little village near the Chinese frontier to seek refuge from hunger, epidemic and religious persecu- tion. Painfully they made their way across the country by foot and in trains. At Cherson, on the Black Sea, they secUred two schooners in which to continue their wanderings. One of the boats went down in a storm, with all on board. The surviving vessel came into Varna, after having been driven away from the Rumanian port of Mangalia.
 Bulgaria refused the wanderers haven because of recent difficulties with Soviet immigrants and emissaries.

 piled At Once

More than S1 300 was contributed in tag day by Birmingham citl' zens to aid the navy department of the Confederate veterans in its, effort to compile an accurate and comprehensive record of the veterans of the Confeder- ate navy, according to Captain W. II. McElroy, aide to Admiral A. C. Wright, head of the department.
 Seventy-one young women of the city contributed their services in selling the tags in the downtown business section, ghsy worked from C ;S0 o'clock in the morning until 5;30 P. n.
 Win Prizes
 Prizes were awarded to those report ing five highest totals of sales. The first prize, a five-dollar gold piece. was y,on by Miss Kate Milner. of the Y. w. c. A., with total of $62.41 Miss Mar lorie Jeffrey, of 420S Wolly street, won the second prize, a $2.50 gold piece, by turning in $54.95.

 Almon, Y. w. c. A, with $35.75.
 While the sale was about $20O short of the amount we had hoped to secure, it is a commendable total be- cause of a similar sale being conducted earlier in the week." Captain McElroy said. II wish to express my apprecia- ton to the young women who sold the tags for their work and to the citizens of Birmingham for their generosity.
 Collect Data
 We will begin at once to collect all available data for our record. The S1 300 fund will enable us to exert every effort to locate the postwar his tory of practically every navy veteran in this district. But, to do this, we must have the aid of every one who has some information concerning grey sailor. We will receive such data at our office, 1921 Third avenue. This office will be maintained until the rec ord is compiled"

WHOLE DEPARTMENT IS CALLED TO FRAY

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Nov. 16.-For. the second time in two days, a fire broke out Sun day in Jersey City which caused damage estimated at more than $2,000,000.
 The flames originated in merchandise stored on a pier of the Erie railroad, destroyed two wharves, a large miscel- lany of freight, 15 lighters and a loaded freight car.
 Two firemen were injured and the fire was so near an Erie passenger depot that it disrupted the heavy Sun. day service on the railroads suburban lines and ferry boats plying between Jersey City and New York.
 The entire interior of a pier shed was ablaze by the time firemen arrived. Three alarms in rapid succession brought out the entire Jersey City fire department, and for a time it was feared that the flames would spread and exceed the danger and destruc- tion caused by the big fire in the Gam. montown section last Friday.
 Seven fireboats in the harbor and the desperate efforts of the firemen on land finally put out, the blaze. The two piers destroyed were each 800 feet long and 75 feet wide, covered from end to end by two-story sheds.
