CAPE MAY, N. j.. April 4.-Four
sailors who are feared to have
mutinied, thrown their captain over
board and taken possession of the
two-maSt yacht Nonlsd are being
questioned at the coast guard base
at Cape May.
The yacht, flying the New York

to be owned by Charles H. Ross of
New York was boarded by the armed
crew of the cutter c. G.. 127 shortly
after 8 a. m. when Ensign Anderson

Four sailors we're found allegedly

PARDON BOARD
PONDERS GIRL
F0RGER CASE
Daisy Sullivan May Know
Today If State Is to
Free Her.
LEGAL MOVE PRESSED
Attorney Takes New Trial
Plea Before Judge of
Greene County.

Daisy Sullivan, l8, OF Bloomfield,
will know today whether Indiana
will pardon her-Will give her back
her citizenship-for forging a $3.50
check to buy 20 cents worth of
fruit.
For at 2 p. m. today the board
of pardons composed OF the trustees
of the Indiana woman'S prison met
at the prison to discuss Daisys
case-and what should be done
about it.
The board members. Mrs. Wilkie
Poynter Of Sullivan. Mrs. Louise S.
Swain of Pendleton and Miss Mar
garet Neely of MartinsvilIe have
personally investigated the environ
ment and conditions which led to
DaisyS forgery and are expected to
recommend that Governor Harry G.
Leslie pardon her Mrs. Charlotte
J. Dunn, indianapolis member OF
the board, is out of the city and
was unable to attend the meeting.
New Trial Is Asked
An interesting sidelight on the
group Of women who will sit in
judgment on the girl from the
Green county hills is that one of its
members, Mrs. Poynter. is from the
home town Of Jessup Bolinger,
banker, who received the same
sentence as Daisy. but who forged
notes totalling $l50,000 instead Of
Just $3.50. Bolinger is serving his
sentence in the state prison at Mich
igan City.
While the pardon board meets
H. L. Ridenour, Indianapolis attor-
ney, is appearing before Judge
Thomas Van BuSkirk, of The circuit
court of Greene county. the judge
who sentenced Daisy, requesting a
date be set for oral arguments OF
a motion to vacate the prison SEN
tence given her and a plea for new
trial
The action was taken by 2idenour,
R. B. Harrison and Verne c. Chap
man, attorneys, to insure the con-
tinued fight for the freedom OF
Daisy should the pardon board fail
to recommend executi"e clemency.
Soothing at Justice
We want to clear the girl of the
stigma of q prison sentence. Her
sentence causes Scoffing at justice,
at law, at lawyers, and at the
courts" said Harrison.
Miss Margaret Elliott, Superin-
tendent of the prison. who was in
jured in a motor car accident while
or her way to Bloomfield to probe
the past of Daisy will attend the
pardon meeting.
The board of paroles Of the prison,
formed by the sam members on the
pardon board, met at the prison this
r'orning. Daisy is not eligible for
parole.
Dodging Responsibility
Numerous comments from citizens
and newspapers Of the state have
been made regarding the justice
which gave an 18-year- girl
two to fourteen year sentence IN
prison for forging a $3.50 check.

stepped from the blue denim Of
prison gar9 into civilian clothes
and was escorted through
the massive iron gate where
cheers went up from friends
in a cavalcade Of automobiles
awaiting to accompany him to
his home in Indianapolis.
Reaching his home at 1882 Broad

again exchanged greetings with his
associates, friends and neighbors and
asked that he might be allowed the
afternoon alone with members OF his
family.
DR.. Shumaker, as prisoner 80, ,424
arose ahead of other prisoners en-
ployed in the dairy barns at $3.50

usual hour. After performing
his chores for the last time, DR..
Shumaker had breakfast and was
summoned to the administration
building.

There he went through the usual
"outgoing" routine. He was given
a bath, shave and civilian haircut.
He laid aside his corduroy cap, blue
denim overalls, duck coat and heavy
hobnailed shoes.
Donning the civilian clothes he
wore when he entered the farm Feb.

NUMBER OF OLD PEOPLE : IN
 CREASING.

Assuming for the sake of his thesis that a person who. passes the 65th birthday is old, Louis I, Dublin, in an article in the bu]letins&of thes. New York Academy of Medicine declares that the 1920 census showed close to $500, ,000 old people in the United States. or 4.5 per cent of the total population. His survey reveals some interesting facts about old age.
 Of all the old people, i, ,6S0, ,000 were past 7s; 240.000 past 85; .65,O00 more than 90, and 4.267 were 100 years old or more. However, he discredits the figure on centenarians, as many re- porting were negroes who probably are claiming a greater age than they are entitled t o.s~
 Up to "A, there are more old men than old womens the ratio running from 115 to 100 up to 54 to 103 to 100. respectively, .ats14. Past. "A, the women reverse the situation and their number greatly exceeds the number of men,.
 A significant thing is that the number of old people is steadily in creasing. Back in 1850. old people were just 2.9 per cent of the total population. about half the percentage of 1920.
 If present fertility and mortality continue, old people will soon repre- sent g per cent of the total popula- tion, according to the Dublin computa- tions. If, however, as seems. likely, the population remains stationary, with deaths offsetting births, the pop ulation before many years will be made up to the extent of 1o.7 per cent eof men and women who have passed 65 years
