 leges Discourtesy

NEW YORK, April 3.-Officials of the Customs and Enforcement Bureau have acknowledged that Stuyvesant Fish's yacht was board ed and searched for liquor by an Inspector of Customs and a Patrol boat crew, but they denied there had been discourtesy.
 Fish, wealthy sportsman and broker, made complaint that the men, believed to be members of the Coast Guard, halted his yacht by firing their revolvers then one searched the craft while the others pointed their guns at the Fish fam fly.
 At first the officials of the Coast Guard denied stopping the craft but finally admitted the incident, saying guns were fired when the Fish craft failed to stop on whis- tie signal. The officials claimed they did not display their guns. They found nothing aboard the yacht and it was permitted to pro- ceed.

 FLIES HIGH 10
 KEEP IN SAFETY
Goes Hundreds of Miles Of Regular Route to
 Visit His Fiancee

MEXICO CITY, April 3.-Mex- ico's internal strife has cast a shadow over the romance of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Miss Anne Morrow. It is a different Mexico which the Colonel is visit ing today Both he and his fiancee seem aware of the change.
 In flying here yesterday, Col Lindbergh went hundreds of miles out of his way to escape passing over war-torn Southern Chihuahua and possibly being mistaken and shot down by the rebels.
 Instead of taking a short cut from Fl Paso to Mexico City he flew the length of the Rio Grande to Brownsville to traverse the peaceful area Of Tamaulipas but even then took precautions against a mishap growing out of the dis turbed conditions of the country.
 When Col Lindbergh arrived here, he wore a parachute over his gray business suit, the first time one has been seen in Mexico City. When he arrived he flew several miles out of his way to dip low over the American Embassy to in form Miss Morrow he had arrived. It is not believed he had notified her of his intentions to make a visit at this time.

and more than half the colonists died on the way. In 1792 the group numbered only 200 persons, ac- cording to the cherished church record of the Swedish vicar.
 When forefathers of the group left Sweden, Dagoe Island and all the Baltic territory belonged to Sweden. The liberties they had enjoyed under Swedish rule were taken from them in 1721 when Rus sia, expanding toward the sea, took possession of Baltic shores. Rus sian land owners attempted to force the Swedish settlers into a condition of serfdon The Swedes sent deputy after deputy to the Empress. and at last, in 1780, suc- ceeded in getting an imperial ukase which defended their rights, pre- cursor of the liberty granted all Russian peasants 80 years later.
 But under the new freedom the colony was ordered to the Ukrain- ian steppes. The tenacity with which they have chung to Swedish culture, record piously preserved in parish Bibles, has aroused deep admiration through Sweden, and the Government is studying plans to help the Gammalsvensky colony realize it's ambitions.

PIGEONS USED
 IN BLACKMAIL.
 PLOT IN N. 7,
Doctor Receives Warming Police Lose Clues
 Guard Home

NEW YORK, April 3.-A black mail plot in which pigeons were used, has been revealed by the po- lice after failure of their attempt to trace the birds owners.
 Several weeks ago, Dr. Louis Alofsin received an express package containing two pigeons tied by the neck, in silk bag, with a note threatening death unless he placed $l0,000 in the bag
 He released the birds on dlrec- tion of the police. The police pre- pared a note which explained to the blacl1mailers that pr. Alofsin was reluctant to entrust so much money to such uncertain means of trans pcrtation and suggested an ap- pointrent be made so the money could be turned over personally.
 After the pigeons had been fat tened for slow speed the police re- leased them and at the same time a score of detectives with binocu- lars stationed themselves on roofs of buildings.
 The pigeons were lost in the haze over New Jersey.
 Three days later the doctor re- ceived letter stating that chance of arrest was too great to enter tain the doctors plan and con- tained a death threat to the entire family. The note said the pigeons would be expressed to him again since the police were guarding his home.

 Bank failures in 1928 probably were fewer than in several years, due chiefly to profits made by banks generally through greater business activity, widespread public participation in the stock market and consequent increased needs for credit and high money rates. Banks also were able to participate more widely in business through broader legislation.
