WINDJAMMERS'
DAY NOW ONLY
FAINT MEMORY
Old HuIIs Creep Along in
Coastal Waters and
Rot at Docks.
BY EARL SPARKLING

PORTLAND, Me-, Oct. 6.-Old
men rubbed the water from their
eyes and went down to the ships to
see.
And so many yarn was spun
down leading India ST., past Liver
pool Inn, past the Famacia del
Populo.
At anchor in Portland harbor
there rode fifteen sailing ships, the
greatest fleet since World War days
and one reminiscent of that still
earlier time when Casco Bay was a
forest of masts.
The windjammers grazing the rot
ting piers of this once great port
included three f1ve-masters and six
four masters. And dark against the
tide was the blackened hull of the
Edward Lawrence, last six-master,
which was burned to the water line
two years ago.
Ordinarily there are not more
than one or two sailing ships against
the piers, usually none at all. Dur
ing the World War, when every hull
was hope, there was a temporary
revival of the sailing days.
Now Ply Coast Waters
Many of the vessels now in port,
though only schooner rugged, went
forth during the war to brave the
Seven Seas and to race with sub
marines. Today they are used only
in coastal traffic, principally lumber.
Many we're the yarns spun in the
shadow of the Sail Loft Chapel, but
all can be summed up in the words
of Capt E. F. Bolton, master of the
good tug Ajax.
IT was born over on the island
there. I grew up in the bay. I'm
only Sc and it seems little strange
that it's all come and gone during
my own day.
st saw the Governor Ames
launched, the first five-master ever
built, and $4,000 tons of coal was
real ballast in those days. Why,
we used to think five-master was
so big we'd put the, anchor thirty
feet out from the pier.
"And when a x-masters was built,
folks said it wouldn't be possible to
get enough men on board to control
her. But I lived to see one seven
master put off from these piers.
Old HuIIs Lost
zone by one the old hulls were
lost, one down off the Virginia coast,
another hard by Nantucket Shoals,
and there aren't many of the old
ones left. But it's just as well.
There's no room these days for sails.
"But the sails had it once. I've
seen Commercial st. when it was as
thick with seamen as a dog is with
fleas. Why, there used to be more
than thirty wholesale grocery houses
along the waterfront, and now there
are only about twelve. I've seen

life to come down it on dark nights.

ping from us. We used to get the
Canadian wheat traffic when the St.
Lawrence was iced up, but now the
Canadian ports are insisting on the
business and it goes north.
"And I figure when they open that
new ST. Lawrence canal it's going to
be even worse. Seems like American
shipping isn't what it used to be"

GOLF ON SACRED TRACT
Mt. Tabor Sabbath Calm Is Shat

BIZ Times Special
MT. TABOR, N. j., Oct. 6.-Sun-
day golf now is being played for the
first time on Mount Tabor, conse-
Grated more than half century
ago by leaders of the Methodist
Church to religious worship.
Nineteen players in linen knickers
and ornate jerseys last Sunday
drove the white ball over the nine
hole course on the southern slope
of Mount Tabor, which for three
generations has resounded with the
voices of evangelists calling sinners
to repent.
Old residents, who remembered
Mount Tabor as the place of thou
sands of conversions and baptisms,
mourned the capituation Of "the
sacred hill'' to changing custom, but
made no effort to interfere.

DANVILLE, Va, September s.
The body of Smith Petty of Reidsville.
N. c., missing for several months,
was found today in the basement of a
house in that town by the authorities,
who arrested Mrs. Eugene Gatlin,
wife of the fire chief, charged with
murder.
Rev. r. NJ. Pardue gave. out the
Information that young woman
converted in a recent revival meet
ing here had confessed to him
that she struck Petty over the head
with an ak during an argument, hid
his body in a closet for a few days,
and then, with assistance, disposed of
it. The young woman, however, is
said to have bitterly denied making
any such statement as that attributed
to the evangelist. There also were
other rumors that she had told the
same story to girl friends here, but
this, likewise, she denied.
Petty, until about four years ago,
was an overseer in the Edna Cotton
Mills in Reidsville, but lost his job.
About a year ago he was seen for
the last time.
The story told there was that he was
accosted by a stranger in the business
section of the city and given a severe
beating Petty did not have the man
arrested, but police officers took him
in custody, and just before reaching
the city Jail he made his escape.
Neither the stranger nor Petty has
since been seen here. Mrs. Petty died
several months ago.

Direct Exports.

NEW YORK, September 3.-The
New York Times said today that the
Republic of Cuba, which restricted it's
1927 sugar cane output to 100000
tons, may regulate exports through a
government board.
President Machado of Cuba contem-
plates the creation of a board to regu-
late the sale of Cuban sugar to the
outside world, thus taking the control
of it's distribution from the American
interests. with which this control now
is vested.
1t also was reported that President
Machado proposes sending a repre-
sentative to other large sugar export
ing countries to bring about universal
limitation of sugar production.
Efforts by Cubans to control Cuban
sugar distribution would meet with OPP
position from American interests. 1t
is said that President Machado might
restrict the next Cuban crop to
1000, 900 tons, or to 100000 tons less
than the 1927 crop.
