GERMAN SEAMAN
TR|CKED IN REVOLT
Venezuelan FiIibuster Case
Involved Crew of the
Steamer Fake.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HAMBURG, November How two
o;ozen German seamen we're tricKed into
becoming the crew OF privateersman
in an abortive revolution at Cumana
Venezuela. was related in two affidavitS
filed in the Maritime Court here. The
case was that of the steamer Fake
whose attempt early In August to land
armed filibustererS resulted in a demand
by Venezuela that the ship be seized
as a pirate.
The story of the expedition readin .
like a Richard Harding Davis tale, was
told when the crew finally go back IL
this country. The first mate made one
AFFIDAVIT and the other was signed joint
ly by "a members OF the crew.
The sworn statements reveal that the
tars began to smell rat when a
Frenchman, known only as M. Parisot
boarded the Fake as she was a:out 10
sal! for Danzig to ship a cargo for an
unannounced South American port.
Loaded in New Port.
At Danzig, however. the vessel was
ordered TO Gdynia, the new port OF
Poland, where in the dead OF night
l,240 cases were brought aboard. The
crew soon determined that these con-

To q man the sailors refused to &c
on with the voyage. but Capt. Zipplit
quieted their fears by remarking quietly
that the cargo had been officialiy de-
clared and that the rest was nobooy's
business.
The following morning the owner
Felix Prenzlau of Hamburg, came on
board, and when the crew repeated
their objections declared the cargo Ia
be a consignment by one government
to another. For the possible G@nger
OF sailing with such an explosive cargo
he offered them double wages besides
bonus To this the crew finally
agreed Then 20 passengers appeared
headed by Venezuelan calling himself
Delgado.
On the voyage, after having passed
the English Channel, a number OF
cases were opened and the passengers
were armed with pistols and swords
Thereafter the deck and hatchway'
were closely guarded day and night
and a machine gun was mounted or
the forecastle. Delgado was addressed
by the others as president" and on'
day the crew overheard Capt. Zippli
in the cabin swear allegiance to the
Venezuelan flag and the Venezuelan!
give him the rank of admiral.
Crew Discovers Truth.
BY this time the crew no longer hac
any doubts about the nature of the
venture they were on, and they de-
manded of the captain to make fol
the nearest port with a German consul
Again. however. the command sue
ceeded in quelling their misgivings.
On August 10 the Fake anchored
off the Venezuelan island of Blanquilla
where part Of the ammunition was put
on a sailboat and eight additional mer
were taken on board. The vessel ther
sailed to Negros Point on the Cumans
peninsula, where 400 natives wer,

STORM ACCOUNT OVERS HATED IN
 FIRST REPORTS
Conditions Exaggerated No Relief Expedition to
 Area Is Necessary

Reports of the recent Bristol Bay storm and conditions created by it nave been greatly exaggerated, &C., cording to telegrams received today by Gov. George A. Parks, from Judge E. Coke Hill, Valdez, and J c. Lowe. a storekeeper at Kanak- anak. The latter placed the num- Der of destitute persons at about eight, as compared to 55 as original ly reported
 Some damage was done on the Naknek-Kvichak side of the region but no destitution or loss of life was known.
 Judge Hill today wired the Cover nor as follows:
 Conditions Exaggerated
 Commissioner Miles indicates not ever 30 all told requiring assistance. Ice varying, heavy at times. Dam age greatest to canneries. Says he understands reports exaggerated conditions. Plenty of supplies sn stores and cutter unnecessary. Nak- nek reports damage to property, no destitution yet, but no word from Egegik and Ugashik.
 MT. Lowe, the storekeeper at kanakanak, wired the Governor direct as follows:
 Storm at Nushagak River great ly exaggerated. AS far as is known only three whites and three or four natives had loss. No cutter need- ed. Possibly storm worse at Togiak and westward Won't know until freezeup. If there is destitution there will wire you"
 Had Planned Relief
 In the absence of detailed re- ports relative to actual conditions, Coy. Parks had made tentative plans for sending a relief expedi- ton to the district, probably ask ing that the Unalga be sent there. Before putting this into effect, how ever, he wired Judge Hill ana kanakanak for more information. Replies to his inquiries made cer- tain that no relief expedition was needed.

 The President gave an account Of his nine months stewardship of the White House.
 Calling upon the average citizen to assist in making the Govern ment effective, the President said the attitude of the man who se- lects the particular laws he will obey may obscure but cannot con- ceal the ugly truth that a law breaker, whoever he may be, is an enemy Of society,"
 The President stood squarely on the position he took at the open ing Of the special session when he asked that tariff rates beneficial to the agricultural industries which have not been prosperous be put into official language.
 He made known his desire that there be one per cent. reduction of individual income and corpora tions.
 He once again asked that the bread principle of a flexible tar if, by which the Executive may c-dcr changes upon the recommen- daticn of tariff commission, be retained in the tariff bill, not withstanding that the Senate had voted that this power should be retained by Congress.
 Outstanding among the Presi- dents suggestions was one that Prohibition enforcement activities should be transferred from the Treasury Department to the De- partment of Justice.
