NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug.
26.-Dan S. Lehon, New Or
Ieans detective has furnished
superintendent Healy of the
New Orleans police department
and DR.. r. w. CASTOR, owner of
the missing yacht Ida @, with
information that may solve the
mystery Of the disappearance Of
the boat, stolen from her mor-
ngs at Gulfport, Miss, a week
ago and which may lead to un-
covering a piracy plot.
Lehon has told the police that three
men whose names they refuse to reveal,
have stolen the Ida @, and even now
may be making raids on at least four
coast towns in the Yucatan channel Sec
ton. The investigation revealed that
the. program included stealing a supply
boat to accompany the yacht but de-
tectives have been unable to learn if this
craft was also taken.
New Orleans police and other agencies
today started hunt for the three men.
Cable warnings we're sent to several
cities in the Yucatan channel section, it
was said here today.
I'VE have every reason to believe that
this information is authentic" Lehon
said today.

A CHALLENGE TO LAW
AND ORDER
(From the Vancouver. b. c.. SUM

(From the Vancouver, b. C., SUM
L>ROM the law courts of this province,
i during the past few days, have come
echoes of the same tendency to daily with
criminals that is corrupting justice in
United States.
From Seattle, during the past three
months, have come echoes of crime or
ganization that constitute a challenge to
society.
There is operating down there across
the line one of the most atrocious and
highly organized crime gangs that has
ever been formed. Their influence has
even been thrown around federal offices,
and reports of the bribery of officials are
persistent.
This man Johnson, now waiting trial
in Oakalla, had such contempt for law
and the forces Of law that, three days
after he had broken Jail, he was running
around with gun, holding up banks.
This utter contempt these criminals
have for law is challenge, not only to
Seattle, but to Vancouver, because the
bank holdups and murders committed
here in the last two years in almost every
case, have been planned by that gang
operating out of Seattle.
If Vancouver is not going to become
another crime-ridden Chicago, British Co
lumbia has got to pull up sharply on all
these re-trials, appeals and sentimental
mawkishness. And British Columbia
courts must accept the challenge OF tins
Seattle crime gang by closing down def
nitely on the technical balderdash, sup

THE N. P. CASE

COUNTY prosecutors of the state are
u to be commended for their stand in
fighting the attempts of the Northern
Pacific railroad to regain $1,000 paid
in taxes during the past two years.
They would be subject TO even greater
commentator should they attempt TO get
at the real bottom of the A. p. tax case
Recent disclosures made at Olympia
that the employees of the railroad prac-
tically fixed the assessment values upon
which the state laid its taxes smeled TO
high heaven.
If any Juggling of the Northern Pa
cific's taxes is 10 be done, il is the firm
belief of the public that the interests of
justice would much better be served II
they went up instead of down.
At least the public, in arriving at
conclusion. would appreciate being per-
mitted to look in on the ground floor and
see what it is that permits such wheels TO
20 around.

SELFISHNESS

TT is heartening to observe that the
L American Federation of Labor is keep
ing the eradication of child labor ut the
top of the list of things II is seeking to
accomplish.
Organized labor has selfish reason
for fighting the system that exploits chill
dren-but it is enlightened selfishness.
Organized labor naturally does not desire
to compete with the children Of the poor.
It knows the effect of such competition
on wages But it is only asking, on its
own behalf. for the privilege of doing this
work for the children, the privilege of
supporting its own children. of saving for
them the playtime of life and of giving
them an education that will help them to
make the most of their adult years. That
may be selfishness, but it is Of kind
that is needed in this peculiarly mercen-
airy moment in our national history.

FRESH WATER HARBOR

A MOTHER stepping stone in Seatte's
n growth has been cemented into
place with the purchase of the 100000
Great Northern freight terminal at the
south end of Lake Union.
Bigger even than the fact that it will
benefit the city as a whole is the effect
this terminal will have on building up
Seattle's finland harbor."
The industrial waterfront on Lakes
Union and Washington, made possible by
the building of the canal, has grown up
comparatively slowly because, in the
years since the canal was built, there has
been room to spare on our salt water
side.
The transcontinental railroad terminal,
on Lake Union, will be big factor in
aiding the quick development of this fresh
water harbor.

WHEN Is A MAN OLD?


"OLD men for counsel" Dwight f.
" Davis, the new secretary Of war, is
81, and the youngest member of the cab
met. AT the age when athletes are back
numbers" Davis, by the way, was once
famous tennis player himself-and even
workingmen and business subordinates
are already looking forward to an early
diminution of their powers, the man OF
large affairs is still so young as to attract
attention by his youth
Indeed. if Mr.. Davis had not already
been assistant secretary, and won his
spurs in that capacity, he might easily
have been passed over for an older man.
On the other hand, Eugene Sandow,
famous strong man Of the last generation,
has Just died. only eleven years older than
the young" secretary Of war Sandow, at
5S, was already an old man. The present
generation knows him, If ut all, only rs a
tradition of distant past. And yet, 5s is
not old, for any one but nm athlete.
A large share of the best-known men
in active life today are as old or older,
and most of them have no thought of
dying old and forgotten, for many years.
Cultivate athletics while you are young.
Keep up exercise and wholesome activity
all your life. But don't oyerdo IT, Mt least
after youth. Muscular giants are notori-
ousy short-liyed And the brain is the
only organ that ought to be better at
seventy than at thirty.
