Famous Crime Solver of Fiction Doubts 'Pnates"
Killed Ceilings Blaming Rough Characters
or Escaped Mdniacs.

where escapes are of almost daily &C.
currence.
Depending more precisely on just
what words mean, did they have as
their objective the apparently inoffen-
sive engineer and yachtsman, Ceilings,
himself, or did they just decide to steal
a canoe, row out to one of the boats,
throw the guy on it overheard and grab
his woman?
There is at least some plausible ex-
PLANTATION of the apparently Illogical
sequence of events in this line of rea-
soning.
But it does nothing to remove the
Illogical events from the picture, except
on one Characterization of the Col
hngseS. They may have belonged to
that class which believes we are living
in state of law and order, where the
cop is at least around the corner and
some one will come to aid if thug
appears. They may have trusted hui
man nature, forgetting we are scarcely
ten thousand years from the Stone
Age and seemingly heading right back
to it. They lived a quiet, even studi-
GUS, frugal family life on the Pen
gum. That, in itself, stamps them as
as throwbacks In these jazz days. They
might have trusted human nature UNI
til it was too late. That's one explana-
ton.
On the other hand, in spite of all
the outward marks of living the hermit
life on a boat, was there something in
the past in the life of the Collingses
that has not yet been disclosed or
even limited at2
Mrs Ceilings more than implied that
Ceilings recognized the pirates" or they
would not have got aboard The
"wounded-man" story Is quite flshy.
The injunction, do whatever they
say" calls for further explanation.
They're tying me up" and They're
throwing me in the water" wouldn' t
even be necessary as sound effect
in talking picture.
Why, in the name Of movies, were
that little 80 automatic and the bowie
knife which were on the Ceilings boat
left out of action? With such tragic
events stirring 1t seems impossible.
Calling out with his head Dashed in
in a manner that would have seemed
to have stilled his tongue at least for
time needs explanation. Above all,
there seems to be strangely one
sided distribution of wounds and
bruises.
Last night my own little girl was
browsing over story book. read to
her: 1.-The bad man put my daddy over
board" At once she reused herself.
All sleep was gone.
The answer to that question is: "Oh,
Barbara will say anything that is sug-
gested." oh, yes? Then perhaps Bar
bara is saying something that was sug-
gested.
There have been times in the last
seven days that have looked out over
the waters of Cove Neck and Lloyd S
Neck and across the sound to SIAM
ford and wondered whether there were
any pirates" at ALL would say that
Alexander Blue, District Attorney of
Suffolk County, is now about TO deal
with different kind of fiction than
often emanates from those Long Island
county seats, Riverhead and Patchogue.

The Secretary added that while this

of introduction to a man to whom she
was to marry as part of the plot,
further developments may eventually
lead to his arrest.
Part of the alleged perpetrators of

BILL AMENDMENT REFUSED.
Texas Representatives Decline 70 Per
Cent Cotton Acreage Limit.

AUSTIN, Tex, September II o.
The Texas House OF representatives
today refused to adopt an amendment
to the Olson bill to limit cotton acre
age to rs per cent Of the cultivated
area.
An amendment providing for this
limitation has been approved by the
Senate. The Olsen bill limits cotton
planting to one-third the, cultivated
area
Action OF the House was made final
when a motion TO reconsider and table
prevailed.
The motion to cut acreage to Is per
cent was defeated. 81 TO At.
Failure of the House to limit cotton
acreage to IS per cent will make ii
necessary to throw the acreage control
bills into a free conference committee
II the Senate stands by its former ac-
ton.
1t was argued the one-third fmita-
ton would not reduce cotton acreage
so per cent, but only about 40 per
cent and that 25 per cent restriction
would insure a reduction Of at, least
so per cent.
An amendment to permit one-hali
the cultivated land to be planted In
cotton was defeated, 60 to 81.
Defeat of the plan Of Gov. Huey p
Long of Louisiana for prohibition Of
cotton planting in 1882 has been con.
eeded as q result Of aggressive opposi-
ton in the Texas Legislature.
A resolution adopted by the Texas
Senate yesterday termed the Louisiana
executive "a consummate liar" ans
test votes demonstrated the ability Of
the acreage reductions TO eliminate his
program at will.

After issuing statement today that he
would repeal by proclamation within a
few days the Louisiana cotton prohibition
act, Gov. Huey p. Long later changed
his mind and said he had decided to
s.stand fast" in the event other States
might wish to pass cotton relief

The Governor issued the second state
ment after the first had been published
in the New Orleans Item and sent out
over press wires. He eaid the f1rst
statement was due to 2 "misunder-

Gov. Long said he had until January
is, 1882, to repeal the statute by procla-
nation if other States did not concur
with similar legislation and added that
he was in mo hurry to do so right nov"

JAPAN CELEBRATES RESCUE.
Friends of Flyers Rejoice at News Of
Safe Landing

TOXIC. September II R1.-Japan
was happy to learn of the safety OF Don
Moyle and c. A. Allen, the American
flyers.
Most Toxic newspapers issued extras
when the news of the discovery of the
flyers on an uninhabited island of the
Siberian Coast was flashed from the
United States.
Allen and Moyle made many friends
among the japanese during their stay
at Toxic, at nearby Tachikawa Airorome
and at Samushiro Beach, about 500
miles north of Toxic.
Friends Kept Hopes.
Many of their friends here had re-
fused to believe them lost. Among them
were Mr.. and Mrs. Koku Nakamura,
keepers of the inn at Tachikswa AIR
drome, where the flyers spent more than
a month putting their big n1onoplane in
shape.
Allen presented Mrs. Nakamura a
bronze Buddah, about the size of two
fists, in appreciation of their friendship.
The Nakar1uras are devout Buddhists.
They were very fine young men"
Mrs. Nakamura told her japanese
friends.
MY husband and I admired their
courage and determination very much.
We prayed each night before the
Buddha Mr.. Allen gave me. think
this has much TO do with their rescue"
Another who refused to surrender
hope was Keno Kodama, chief of the
mechanical department of the Imperial
Aviation Bureau. Kodana, only few
days ago, said he believed the flyers
would be found alive somewhere along
their route between Japan and the
United States.
Pangb0rn Explains.
Clyde Pangborn, who with Hugh
Herndon. jr., is awaiting permission of
the japanese government to attempt the
same flight on which Allen and Moyle
failed, thinks the flyers. after passing
Cape Erimo, Japan. decided on q north
erly course, heading for Nome, and
were forced down by motor trouble
japanese officials of the Russian Wa
tiers Fishery Association advanced the
opinion Moyle and Allen subsisted on
eggs and possibly fish before their res
cue by Russian ship.

Gene Sarazen, medalist and last
years runner-up, was 2 down to Horton
Smith of Detroit.
Sarazen, outstanding competitor on
the three previous days, played spotty
golf against his young rival and trailed
for the first time in the tournament
Smith had a three-hole lead going to
the fifth, dropped it when Sarazen took
three consecutive holes with two pars

on the ninth green, where Sarazen took
6.
Gene Squares Match.
Gene squared with a par on the
fifteenth, but dropped right back when
smith won the seventeenth, jumping 9
dead stymie with mashie-niblick. This
amazing shot evidently ratified Sarazen
for he drove out of bounds on the
eighteenth, which Smith annexed with
par to go to lunch with a 2-up lead
