OF 1873 Dies
~ the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 30-Mrs. Frances
N. Richardson, 81, widow of the first
mate on "the phantom ship" the
Marie Celeste, whose crew vanished
on the high seas in 1878, died last
night-the mystery of her husbands
<ate still unsolved.
AS a bride, Mrs. Richardson stood
down on the dock and waved goOd-by
to her husband, Albert, and the crew
as the Marie Celeste sailed for Genoa
from New York Harbor with cargo
of alcohol in casks.
She never saw her husband again.
The British bark, Del Gratia, found
the Marie Celeste floating on the
ocean off the Azores on December 4,
1873, nearly month after she sailed
no man aboard.
The cargo was undisturbed, there
we're no signs of disorder and food
had been prepared for the next meal.
The gold watch of the skipper, Capt.
B. S. Briggs, hung by its chain beside
his empty berth.
The ships log said the vessel had
passed the Island of st. Mary, in the
Azores. That was the last entry.
In the 63l2 years that followed Mrs.
Richardson lived quietly in Brooklyn,
sometimes alone, and in late years
with niece. She steadfastly declined
to tell her life story" for publication.
For the last few years she had
heen in DOOR health.
She was born in Eastport, Me, and
came to Brooklyn as bride. She
Is survived by brother, William
6pates.
Funeral services will be held at

LOOMS IN GOTHAM
international Mercantile
Marine Co. Ships May
Be Tied Up.
BY the Associated Press,

~ .
NEW YORK, April 30.-The Inter-
national Mercantile Marine Co. was
threatened today with possible strike
which might keep its vessels at New
York City piers.
A rift within the ranks Of the Inter-
national Seamen's Union was behind
the threat.
The American Merchant, scheduled
to sail today for Europe, and the Pam
anna Pacific Lines Pennsylvania, due
to sail tomorrow for California, were
most likely to be held up.
Strike Threat Follows Meetings.
The strike threat followed day-long
meetings yesterday in the ONCE OF
Mrs. Elinor M. Herrick, regional d.
rector Of the National Labor Relations
Board, between oflicials Of the union
and group Of members headed by
Joseph Curran.
The Curran faction contended the
officials no longer represent ma
jority Of the union, and they de-
manded an immediate election to de-
termine spokesmen for q projected
conference with l. M NJ officials for
wage contract.
Union officials insisted their con-
tract with the l. M. NJ remain efYec-
tive.
Union Chiefs Deny Authority.
Curran after the conference issued
the strike threat. Mrs. Herrick said
she had no immediate solution Of the
problem.
Union leaders said they lacked au-
thority to approve an immediate elec-
ton, and that they could not act
until after the unions national coun-
Gil next Wednesday in Chicago.

velt Perry, who were arrested after
the Harlem melee, and Father Divine.
They stepped forward. Perrys
shoulder grazed the body of his leader
and he looked abashed. Father Di-
vine gave him a comforting smile.
Assistant District Attorney Ray
mond Leo asked at once for a post
ponement. explaining it was impos-
sible to have Green in court before
next Friday.
Kranzler objected
He demanded that an affidavit. set
ting forth the charges be filed in
place of the police short affidavit.
I'VE are entitled to know who the
complainant is and what the COM
plant is" he said.
The magistrate interposed, suggest
ing the lawyers settle the question
of postponement amicably. Then
Kranzler asked the court to direct
that statement be procured from
Green. but the magistrate said he
had no power to do this. Madison
then asked for permission to allow
defense attorneys to get such a state
ment, but this also was denied.
After further quibbling the defense
agreed to wait until Friday, and
Father Divine, smiling, pleased,
walked out of the room
Police and detectives squeezed out
path for him. He smiled at pf1otoR-
raphers. waved at stray angels, his
smile never breaking once. -
And still smiling he was whisked
downstairs to the limousine, stepped
inside and was off, the purr Of the
motor smothered by the delighted
cries Of the faithful.

Of the drive, Dr. Stokes pointed out
that in the Neighborhood House there
Is leaky furnace which is dangerous
to the health of those in the build

for lack of funds; that there is a
condemned elevator at st. AIMS In
FAINT Asylum; that the Instructive Wis

OF 10 more nurses; that Chest hospitals
are running, behind, and that the

some of them face eviction and many
are hungry

groups, and all interest into one unit
to advance the humanitarian work of
50 Chest agencies" The Chest, he
said, docs a marvellous work. The
activities of the local agencies before
and since the days of the Chest Or
ganization, DR.. Stokes said, are "as
different as black and white" Before
the Chest, he said, each agency had
to spend most of its time seeking
funds. Now they can devote their full
time and energies to their proper work
he said.
Suburban Unit Reports.
Chairman Randolph Leigh of the
suburban unit, created this year to
solicit funds in four adjacent Mary
land and Virginia counties, opened
the report session. He reported 1874
new contributions amounting to So
44690, bringing the unit totals to
6,19l gifts totaling 41,33396, Or 55 II
per cent of the quota of SIS. The
report was based on returns from three
counties, Prince Georges County, Md,
not reporting, he said. Last night,
following the meeting, the Prince
Georges report was received by Chest
officials, increasing the unit totals to
Gill gifts, amounting to S43,41349,
or 57.8S per cent of the quota.
Col West A. Hamilton chairman
of the Capital Unit, in making his re-
port, characterized the Chest move
ment as "a crusade for civic righteous
ness" One of the most valuable fea-
lures of the Chest system, he said, is
the fact that it binds even the hum
blest citizens and the smallest minor
tiles, into a harmonious, unified or
ganization.' He reported new con-
tributions bringing the unit to 56.8
per cent of its quota and voiced as
surance that I'VE shall carry on"
Reporting for the Metropolitan
Unit, Chairman Chauncey G. Par
ker, jr., said that four of the unit
areas have exceeded their quotas, led
by one of the Largest money areas,
No. Z, Northwest Washington, which
has turned in through its chairman
Mrs. A. c. Oliphant total of 1864
per cent Of its quota. The Southeast
Washington unit, he reported has

and area 4, in Northwest Washington

Can't Fail Needy.
In a voice vibrant with emotion,
Mr. Victory said: Il have worked on
the budget for these Chest agencies
know what failure will mean to the
needy of Washington. I say to you
from personal knowledge that we SIM
ply can't afford to fail In Gods
name, we have got to go ahead!
1--WE didn't sign up for two weeks
-
S2059,000 and we haven't done it.
It's the sixth consecutive year we
have failed and we can't put up with
another failure.
If you let leaky roof 20 without
repairs on your house it means that
the job is going to cost more in the
end. It's just the same way with this
Chest business. If you contiue to
fail in these drives, the costs are
going to keep on increasing.
THE money we have been asked to
raise is needed or there will be suffer-
ing and distress in Washington that
we can't permit to exist For the love
OF humanity and our own self-respect,
let's carry on, not until we reach a
time limit of two weeks, but until we
reach the goal"
AS Mr.. Victory finished, most of
those in the room were on their feet,
yelling. Abandoning the effort to
make his report, Director Willett sat
down.
Making himself heard with diff
