RUM SHIP ENDS CRUISE
OUTSIDE 12-MILE LIMIT
Ceases Circling With Coast Guard
on Heels and Steams
OFF to Sea.

NORFOLK, Va, August % R.-
The trailing is over, the shadows have
disappeared and the little rum. laden
Norwegian ship that hung off the
Virginia coast for several days, has
gone to sea. Coast Guard officials
are breathing a sigh of relief since
the vessel has departed although
they would have relished the taking
OF the craft had she come within the
12-mlie limit. But she did not.
She cruised around in circles for
several days and everywhere she
went there was Coast Guard boats,
at least one, on her trail. She did
not come nearer the Virginia shore
than 20 miles, so she was never in
any great danger of being taken into
custody for violating the American
prohibition laws.

White RiJvr Park Plan
Is DiSabbroUed i'm Part
Committee From Chamber
Wants Flood Protection
for Area Provided.

Proposal of the city plan commits
sion that the city buy 800 acres
along White River between Kessler
Blvd. and Fairview at cost of $780,
600 for a city park was disapproved
in part today by the civic affairs
committee of the Chamber OF Com
merce.
A report of subcommittee,
which was adopted by the whole
committee, recommends that the
city park department determine
upon a general program of acquiSi-
ton of ground Immediately ada
cent to the river, from KesSler Blvd.
to Fairview Park, buying only such
ground as will be needed for de-
velopment 'of a driveway. and oc-
casional bathing beaches, picnic
grounds, ball diamonds, tennis
courts and other recreation spots.
Flood Protection Necessary
Either the park department or
the board of public works must
eventually provide adequate flood
protection. The driveway might be
constructed atop the levee."
The report states that the plan
commission sponsored the proposal
to create the park when 1t decided
a plat for the subdivision Of large
area by DR.. H. H. Wheeler called
for too narrow streets and lots and
would result in a district not in &C
cordance with residence building
standards of surrounding property.
Decrease Bonding Power
The report points out that much
of the land for the proposed park
is subject to overflow, and suggests
that proper levees eventually must
be built all the way from College
Ave. to Fairview.
Should the park department adopt
the plan commissions proposal, the
report states, the park bonding
power would be so decreased that
no other major project could be
taken up for years.

The committee stated that it be-

regard the present limit as ade-
quate.

A 4-year-old Negro girl and a 10
months-old white BABY boy are in
orphan homes here after being
caught together in an inexplicable
current of life.
The two children, evidently raised
as brother and sister, because the
older insists that the baby is my
bruvver," were deserted Friday
night by two women, one of whom
claimed to be the mother, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Grigsby,
635 Eugene st.
The women said they would re-
turn for the children Saturday eve
ming. When they did not return,
Mrs. Grigsby notified police.
Mrs. Grigsby had inserted in Fri
days papers an advertisement for
children to board. The women came
with the sleeping children in their
arms.

awaken them" the woman who gave
her name as Mrs. Smith of Fulton

planned.
Mrs. Grigs was told that the girls
name was Margaret" and the boys,

said. A kidnapping solution is be-
lieved likely by police.
