Prison Ship in Havana Harbor
Is Terror of Cuban Workers

The union of longshoremen for a
long time did not function at all under
these heavy blows. 1t now functions
in quiescent manner, knowing per-
fectly well that it may not indulge in
any of the normal activities of trade
union.
The Maximo Gomez feeds upon men
who are charged only with what are
termed political offense; they are
charged either with being dangerous
radicals or pernicious foreigners. The
bogey of bolshevism cloaks the whole
black performance. Cuba's president
knows that the American government
hates bolshevism. So it usese that
preteXt | know bolshevism. | hunt
ed for it in Cuba. Examination of
typical deportation cases proves that
bolshevism has nothing to do with
feeding the hungry Maximo Gomez.
Lese majesty is one of the crimes
that sends men there. Trade union
activity is another. Every other pos
sible charge is secondary and all other
charges put together would not give
the fostering prison ship a good
weeks meal of human misery in a
year.
Mystery of Ship Terrifes
You arrive at the toll of this boat
that rolls in the blazing sun through
perusing newspaper files, through
checking up with men whose friends
and associates have gone the route"
through men who have friends ''on
the inside" Through such devious and
hard-to-find agencies are the partial
figures secured. Nobody who will tell
knows the whole story The mysteri-
Gus picking up a men in the dark to
feed the Maximo Gomez ranks next to
the terror of the mysterious death in
Cuba today.

the corner of Fourth street: and

Chief Brunskill's threat to jail
any person who dared offer
this paper for sale on the
streets" Of Minneapolis. A stool

two papers and:a moment later
returned them, at the same
time demanding that his money
be given back. He also impart-
ed the information that "you
will be- arrested in a few mo-
ments..'
He was right-almost.
Ourman was taken to police
Headquarters but no charge
was placed against him. Our
attorney was on hand ready
and eager to open a fight that
will eventually place Minneap-
oils on the list of clean" cit
les. But Brunskill was wary
and wild.
He found that no charge
could be placed that would
stick" In brief, he found that.

During the chiefs TRADE,
our man reports that the chief
made the statement that he
would take care of" me-the
Old Man.
If that was intended as a
threat of GUNMEN VEN
GEANCE, l serve notice right
now on the ex-beerwagon
driver that he can turn his
monkeys loose any time he
wishes. Nose Barnett, Brun-
skills friend, made almost the
same identical threat against
Nh. Guilford and few days
later Guilford was shot.
If he intended. it as warn
ing, he is wasting his wind. If
he thinks "the Old Man" can
be scared out Of town by the
blah Of Polack, he's the most
woefully mistaken bird in the
covey. That has been tried out
before.
The interference with street
sales of this paper by the chief
of police is an usurpation of
power never before attempted
by any police head of this city.
But Minneapolis never before
took a beerwagon driver from
his high seat and placed him in
charge of the police depart

If the County Attorney. had
the power to decide that this
publication was legitimate,
that it contained no lewd, la
civious matter, then he most
assuredly had the power to
order Chief Brunskill to cease
his illegal interference with
our street and news stand sales.
Will he do it? | have a bunch

that it will take the report of a
special grand. jury and the i'm
partial lesson of especial pros
ecutor to teach the rudiments
of legal action and legal pro-
cedure to our local officials.
Brunskill orders the man
who offered this paper for sale
on the streets, to leave town.
Where does he find his author
ity for that arbitrary act? Like
too many of his other acts, it is
Brunskill-made -, without a
shred Of legality.
But what can one expect of
a bonehead who hobnobs with
gunmen, gangsters and the
scum of the underworld ?
Nothing!

Wreck Found Not
White, Bird, Theory

BIZ United Press
NEW LONDON, Conn, May 90
Two sections of an airplane, picked
up by the coast guard patrol boat
200 at sea off the entrance to FIT.
Pond Bay where brought here today.
It was not believed they were parts
of the missing White Bird, flown by
Captains Charles Nungesser and
Francois Coli.
The airplane parts were brought in
by the patrol boat 2S1. The 231 met
patrol boat 29O two miles south of
Race Rock Light in response to a
message saying that the debris had
been found. -
While transferring the airplane
parts from the 290 to the 231, men,
bers of both crews inspected the
parts and concluded they were too
light and too small for the White
Bird. They had been floating at sea
for several days.
The larger of the two sections was
eighteen feet long and made of lat
ticed spruce or lemon wood, two feet
eight inches wide at one end and
tapering. The other section was lat
ticed woodwork about five inches
square and was in a piece about
eight feet long.

afternoon:
He swan the Tablespoonful

Byron being his nearest competitors.
He ran the Marathon-as Phidip-
pides had done 1000 years before
him. Three times around the walls
of Troy he ran. even as Achilles
and Alexander. The dangerous
straits Of Scylla and Charybodis he
almost conquered. Up Mount Par.
nassus he climbed and at night he
scaled the walls of the Acropolis. He
danced in the Vale Of Tempe and
hunted for sirens in the caves of
Capri. To the end of the trail Of
Ulysses he went with only Homer
for his guide, and when he returned
to the hectic civilization of the TWEEN
tieth century he brought with him
some Of that old, forgoen romance,
breath Of classic Greece.
In permanent form he has put his
Odyssey-his new book, 1.-THE Glor-

DUBOIS BAD EGG
Grated At LAST
BY AUTHORITIES
Uncle Sam Gets Busy When
Man TerrorizeS Down
State County.

Robert Egg might be a hard
boiled one-and a bad one at that
but your Uncle Samuel .wields a
mean garbage pail. Robert was
"shelled' this morning.
Egg, for the information of those
concerned, is Dubois County's bad
man, bootlegger and all-around ter
rorist, according to county and Fed
eral prohibition officials. He lives
at Jasper.
The trouble was this. On March
26 Federal Agent S. H. Fettinger,
Sheriff Joe Kerdes and Night Police
officer Joe Salb tried to arrest the
bad Egg. and then and there he
showed his strength" He slammed
the door and informed his visitors
that he would sort of mess up the
FIRST one to step through the door.
Was Released
Thereupon the officers displayed
that discretion was the better part
of valor.
However. a few days later. officers
got up more nerve and Grated" this
Egg along with some other bad eggs
in the county Jail. In court, he was
released on $4,000 bond on liquor
charges.
Therell be no trial in Dubois
County. officials said. because Egg
has become so obnoxious that no one
wants TO get into the same court
room with him. Besides that, he has
the whole county terrorized and no
one wants to become involved in any
job such as treating this Egg with
dose Of justice in an effort to
purify it.

did. an dthis morning the Bad Egg
with his brothers, the brother Eggs

by Federal agents. Sheriff Kerdes
and Policeman Salb.
The Bad Egg is charged with as.

kill Sheriff Kerdes and liquor law
violations. The other Eggs are not
so bad. They're held on liquor
charges only.
They will be arraigned in Evans
