"TraUeLinR Sfones''

Travelling stones,' from the size of

Immediately began to travel onward

A single stone, removed to n dis.
lance of 3A feet, upon being released,
at once started with a wonderful and
somewhat comlcal celebrity to Join It's

These queer stones are found In a
region that is comparatively level and
little more than bare rock Scattered
over this barren region are little
basins, from few feet to a rod or
two In diameter, and II Is In the bot
tom Of these that the rolling stones
are found.
The cause for the strange conduct
Of these stones Is doubtless to be
found In the material OF which they
are composed, which appears to be

Song Popular Among
RoUers of Caribbean

The sea-sOng OF the pirates with Its
weird refrain of Fifteen men on the
dead mans chest" which Robert Louis
Stevenson introduces into his famous
book Treasure Island" is in part At
least authentic and was sung by the
pirates and buccaneers who roved the
Caribbean sea In the late Seventeenth
and early Eighteenth centuries, Dead
Mans Chest was IN island of the Vlr.
gin group, which has been chrlstened
"Dead Chest Island" thereby losing
much of its plratlcal flavor. To this
island the pirates used to repair, to
careen their ships, stretch their legs
drink rum, sing their buccaneerlng
songs and make merry after their
own fashion. Curlously enough there
Is little church on the Chilean coast
which Is obviously built of ships tim

qulring mind, reasoning that II the
church were built Of ships tlmbers,
the bell would also come from a ship,
determined to investigate. climb
among the rafters did not reveal the
name Of the ship, as he had hoped, but
around the edge of the bell were In.
scrlbed the words; Fifteen men on
the dead mans chest" All that the
clergyman knew was that the church
bell came from ship that was
wrecked in 1922, which was just the
time when the West indies were get
ting hot for nlrates and many were
being driven into the Pacific.

CHILEAN QUAKE
VICTIMS NOW 600
Heavy Rains Add to
Suffering

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 3.-The
number of dead in the earthquake
was placed at 900 by the news
paper ia Nacion," of this city, to-
day. While La Nacion's figures
are considerably over the official
estimates, it is feared that the gov
ernment is concealing the total lists
and also that many injured at Talca
may die. Three hundred were in
jured in that town alone.
The official total OF dead was
swelled considerably today when the
mayor of Constitution sent in the
names of n persons killed in that
city.
Suffering from the earthquake,
which has been excessive among the
workers, was increased today by
heavy rains which hampered the re-
moval of debris and the search for
additional wounded.
Hundreds of workers and peasants
are without shelter and food thru
out the territory affected by the
quake.
Suffering is said to be particular
ly intense in the city of Chillan.

Many Votes Stolen
From Red Nominees
in Newark Elections

NEWARK, u. j., Dec. 3.-The
Workers (Communist) Party candi-
dates for governor and for U. S.
senate more than doubled their vote
this year in Essex county, New Jer-
sey. Scott Nearing, gubernatorial
candidate, polled 156 votes in New
ark and II outside of the city, max
ing a total of 227. Albert Weisbord,
senatorial candidate, polled $50 in
Newark and SIS outside of the city.
making a total of 205.
That hundreds of votes were never
c. .nted or were stolen is evident
when one considers that the candi-
dates for the Workers (Communist)
Party never had their names printed
the tally sheets. This condition
left it entirely up to the whims of
the capitalist watchers to see if the
votes were counted or not. Hundreds
of votes were probably lost in this
way.
For exampla, it is known that
Nearing and Weisbord polled an
average of at least ten votes in
every d strict in the city of New
ark. This total would far outreach
the total vot reported for the two
candidates.

BALDWIN DODCES

LaGuardia Announces
New Fake Move

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Prime Minis
ter Stanley Baldwin revealed to the
House Of Commons today his ex-
change of letters with Fred Britten,
Illinois, chairman of the house naval
committee, U. S. A., in which Bald
win informed the American con-
gresham that he would not express
any opinion without consulting the
United States government.
Britten, in a personal letter to
the premier, had proposed an Anglo
American conference on naval is
sues, to be held in Canada. British
official circles recognize this as
merely strategic move in a jingo
game for a free hand in the naval
race.
At the same time, Commander
J. X. Kenworthy, labor party,
cabled Britten that certain NJ. P.'s
were in favor of the proposal.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign
secretary, was questioned in the
House of Commons concerning dis
armament plans.

While mobilization of the rank

new attack of the united forces of
all the fur manufacturers and the

union is gathering impetus, the left
wing Joint Board yesterday made
public an official letter it has sent
to the Fur Trimming Manufacturers
Association.
The letter, altho formal in nature,
contains a threat that non-confor-
nance with its demands-for a con-
ference within "a hours-will be met
with the most drastic action. This
employers organization is reported
to have reached a decision at a
secret conference with another en-
cord it to the disintegrated right
wing, to withdraw recognition from
the left wing Joint Board and ac-
cord it to the disintigrated right
wing union"
Prepare Forces.
Although as yet publicly deny
ing any knowledge of pact to with
draw recognition, the officials of
the employers organization is known
by the left wing to have succumbed
to the promises of the right wing
promises of still more severe exploit
tation of the workers in the shops
and have made a pact whereby the
right wing will be given assistance
in keeping itself alive. The Joint
Board, while sending the letter de-
manding official admission or
refutation of this plot, is preparing
its forces for a struggle against

the Standard Oil tanker, w. C.
Teagle, was pinned to his berth
while his ship lay in the harbor here
four days ago, cut with a knife,
then dragged on deck and dubbed
with an axe, by four men of the
crew and one of the ships officers.
The facts are just becoming known
because of Investigations by friends
of the cook, who was usually known
simply as "Alphonso." He had been
protesting at the intolerable condi-
tions under which he had to work,
and the attempt to kill him was
made by 100 percenters who hated
the foreigner" who put them to
shame by fighting for better con-
ditions.
The murderous assault took place
while most of the crew were asleep
and with the lights turned out on
deck. The man lay bleeding until
watchman found him, after which
he was taken ashore and thrown in
the police station. When found to
be still alive, he was spirited away
to hospital, say his friends, and
they do not know what hospital nor
whether he has died from his in
juries.
The Teagle is now at sea.
