help, in a motor boat moored off Oyster Bay. In the boat was a blanket labelled St Charles Hotel.'
 Mrs Ceilings attempted to give a coherent report of the nights $ events. She said the Penguin, on which her family has been spend- ing the summer in short cruises, was boarded by two men who de- manded Ceilings take them across the sound to Norwalk. Her hus- band refused, she said-although he was offered $100-because he had no night lights on the boat.
 After an argument, according to her story. the men drew, revolvers, held Ceilings on deck, and locked her in the cabin. In her fear, she took off two diamond rings and hid them in the shoes of the sleep ing Barbara. The boat was start ed she said, and some time later she heard her husband say This isn't South Norwalk. this Is Stam- ford" A moment later, she heard the thud of a body on the deck' and the words, "Tie him up.
 Whether she broke her way out of the locked cabin, or whether the door was opened by the "pirates"-she was not sure-a short time afterwards she found herself thrust into canoe, and as- saulted by the older of the pair' still later-although she does not remember the. event-she was pus into the moored motor boat In which she was found.
 The mystery of an air-inflated mattress found in the Penguin dinghy was explained when Mrs Ceilings told authorities she threw it overheard in hopes that her nus hand. if able to struggle, might seize it and save himself.
 Examination of the. Penguin showed signs of d struggle, blood stains on the deck, broken milk hotties and a blood stained boat hook.
 Ceilings, possessing a modest fortune sufficient to care Tor llVlhs expenses, was educated al Exeter and Yale, where he was an honor student. Four years ago, at the age of 34, he retired, having ac- cumulated sufficient wealth to give him an annual income of approxi- mately $3,O00. Boating was his hobby, and the family had intend ed to sail to Florida within a short time, on the Penguin. His vile, attractive brunette, is 2S.
 Assistant District Attorney Fred J. Munder of Suffolk, after ques- tioning Mrs Ceilings for six hours said that while he would not say he was entirely satisfied with her story, nevertheless its discrepancies might easily be explained. He also announced that a boat resembling the Penguin had been seen off the Connecticut shore early Thursday morning.

[ dermen by naming MT Cohen to the constabulary of the city.
 In the school convention 8 very spirited contest occurred. With | only five nominations to the board possible under the new charter, six names were offered to the conven- tion.
 E. R. stevenson Loses Out | The delegates were surprised when the name of E. Robert Stew enson, editor-in-chief of the Re- publican and American, was of fered for a place on the board of education. Others nominated wHre ex-Judge Beardsley and Attorney ! Vincent Miller. now members of the board, Mrs Gertrude Bowes, Mrs Dorothy Vandercook and Mrs Fred Webster. r In the voting that took place MT Stevenson received only Is votes, the lowest cast for any one candi- date so he was unsuccessful in his quest for a place on the board. The other five were nominated. Under the law both parties will name five, each, and the nine receiving the highest votes will be automatically declared elected.
 
 Attorney Frederick w. Palomba was nominated for tax collector at the city convention without any opposition. Attorney Palomba is one of the well known Italian g.. 0. D. leaders of the city and when he was formally declared nomin- ated by Chairman Sherwood the convention applauded him heartily.
 Mrs Bowes, who was nominated for the school board at the school convention. is also well known leader among Italian republicans. She is the wife of Dr Frank Bowes and the daughter of the late John Sirica, one of Waterbury's best known citizens in his time.
 Town Chairman Conway stated to-day that he will arrange for rallies and other campaign activl- ties within the next week but Will spend the coming week in getting the new voters before the board of registration.
 Fifth Ward Recognized A study of the g. o. D. ticket as set up last night at the three con ventions indicates that the repub- licans plan to make an intensive drive in the fifth ward for support. Through the leadership of John J.. Lynch the fifth ward republicans succeeded in getting much recog- milton on the ticket.
 Fifth ward nominations adopted at the conventions were: For city clerk, Edward B. O'Donnell; for the board of education, Mrs Bowes and Mrs Vandercook; for the board of aldermen, MT Kingston and Mir Troske; for city sheriff, Arthur He bert.
 The fifth ward has always been the democratic stronghold and the apparent leaning of the republicans at their conventions to this section indicates that an effort will be made to swing supporters to the g. o. D. column.

 France lost the straight line flight record to the United State: when Russell Boardman and Johr Polando flew 4996 miles from New York to Istanbul.
 The five airmen who strated on the hazardius flight today spent the night at the air field. Their planes stood side by side in han gars and W ere wheeled to the start ing line at a. m. Codos and Robida were beside their machine at a. m. but Lebrix and his companion did not appear for an other 40 minutes.
 The air line distance from Le Bourget to Tokio is approximately 5000 miles. Lebrix and Doret be. liever that only i'll luck robbed them of success on their last at tempt to fly to Tokio, in the mono plane Hyphen, which was wrecked in Siberia.
 Both planes were pronounced IT perfect condition and weather pros poets were excellent. The machines rose easily after long run anc climbed steadily toward the rising sun. Motors were run for five min utes before the start. &
 It was understood that bott planes would follow practically tht same. route; Brussels, Koenigsburg Moscow, and the Siberian railway line to Tokio.
 The French airmen who recapt' ure the distance record will be re- warded with glory And s40.00( prize offered by the air ministy
 Reports that Lebrix passed Brus sells at 7:50 a. m. indicated that ht was flying on schedule. He was dut over Koenigsburg after eight hour: flying; Moscow in IA hours; Eka- terinenburg in 24; Tomsk in 34 Irutsk in 43 1-2; Chita in AZ 1-2 and Mukden in 5S.

 Rev Heards followers sent two of their number of Texas. The emis- saries returned with testimonials and dispositions to refute the charges. The Heard delegation pre- sented the findings to Rev Jefers followers Fighting broke out and police were called. George Cox, six-foot member of the Arkansas State college football team, Jef- fers follower, was taken to jail. Jeffers organized 400 of his fol- lowers into a parade and marched on the City Hall. demanding re- lease of Cox. The request was granted, but another demonstration occurred when the Jeffers paraders crowded into the corridors outside the city court to attend Cox's hear ing.
 Authorities appealed to the gov ernor for troops, believing the sit uation too serious for police to handle alone. The guardsmer were mobilized. While the troops patrolled the aisles. Rev Jeffers spoke to approximately 5000 per sons last night. The militiamer had been instructed not to molesi the evangelist unless the meeting become disorderly.
 Denver l.. Dudley. prominent young attorney and one of the leaders in the group defending the Ba ptlst pastor. was criticized in the evangeiist's exhortation but Rev Jeffers urged his supporters to bs peaceful.

Origin of Expression
"That Beats the Dutch"

IAN American Glossary" by Thorn
ton, gives examples of the use Of the
expression "That beats the Dutch" as
early as 1775. the line "Our cargoes Of
meat. drink and cloaths beat the
Dutch" appearing in a Revolutionary
Song" by Bartlett Of that date. In
the Philadelphia Public Ledger Of Feb
ruary G. 1887, occurs this statement:
THAT beats the Dutch, saith the
proverb; meaning that, as the Dutch
beat Old Nick, it IL something Of an
exploit to beat them. vizetelly and
De Bekker's Deskbook Of Idloms
states that the phrase originated In
the days when bitter enmity prevailed
between the Dutch and other nations.
In this connection, however. /, Is
worthy Of notice that most Of the ex-
pressions that arose out of the strug-
gle between the English and the
Dutch in the Seventeenth century
were derogatory or derisivs; among
these are Dutch courage; to talk dou-
BILE Dutch; Dutch comfort; Dutch con-
cert; I'm a Dutchman II do; Dutch
treat; Dutch gold; talk like q Dutch
uncle" The saying THAT beats the
Dutch" Is not derogatory and is an
American and not an English one, so
that it possibly expresses admiration
for the fighting qualities of the Dutch
In their long struggle with Spain and
later with England Again, as the
name Dutch" is also applied to Ger
mans, IT may be reference to the
German mercenary troops Of Colonial
days.
