For centuries mystery ships have mailed the seas, guided only by the winds of chance. One of them was found by a steamer captain rounding the Horn recently. While groping his way into the open, a gigantic mass of ice carrying a large three-masted schooner, with its boats still in the clefts, was sighted. Efforts were made to find the survivors, but no trace of them was discovered. Another sea tragedy was added to the already long list of those as yet unsolved when a Greenland whaler came upon a strange looking derelict, battered and weather worn, apparently built in the last cen tury and ice-bound for years.

Once upon a time it was quite the thing for fairies to make themselves known to mortals. Frequently each mortal was granted three wishes, and so on. The last fairy of record ap peared to an American millionaire. For services rendered he was granted the customary three wishes, but stated that he had only one wish to make. “Name it,” said the fairy. “Get me a good cook." Since then fairies have never ap peared to mortals. Price of Bread in Paris. The price of bread in Paris and the Seine department is the highest that has been known since the siege of T*aris in 1870.

BLI8S Universal Service Correspondent Portland.- Ore., Oct. 8.—By a vote of 27,838 to 130, William F. Dunne, editor of Butte, Mont,, Bulletin, radi cal leader and member of the Work ers’ party, was unseated Monday af ternoon as a delegate to the conven tion of the American Federation of Labor. Dunne is one of the defendants in the Michigan criminal syndicalistic cases awaiting trial in Berrien coun ty, Michigan, and is a follower of William Z. Foster, red leader. The convention did not decide whether or not to take up the ques tion of expulsion of other reds from the convention, although some of the delegates favor a complete house cleaning of all delegates who are known to be connected with the Mos cow red internationale and other radical movements not in accord with the principles and policies of the American Federation of Labor. Attacks Gompers Dunne's expulsion came after more than four hours of the convention’s time had been taken up in debate and discussion of his activities. He was permitted the floor to answer the charges, and his speech, Instead of being a defense of the accusation^ against him, consisted principally of a tirade against President Samuel Gompers, John L. Lewis, president of the United States Workers and other leaders of organized labor af filiated with the American Federa tion of. Labor. It was his own speech which convicted him, in the eyes of the other delegates, according to the declarations of speakers who tcok the floor after he was through. Dunne admitted that he was a communist and declared that the leaders in the American Federation of Labor were misleading the work ing men of the country and that the convention throttled all expressions of advancement and progress for the working classes. • Mr. Gompers did uct deign to reply to the charges against himself. * Painful Operation The removal of Dunne from the floor of the convention was In some respects, like the pulling of an aching tooth. It was a painful operation, but, according to the expressions made afterward by delegates, the relief was great. James Duncan of the Seattle cen tral labor council, which has been in bad with the American Federation of Labor because of its connection with red activities, was not present when the vote was taken. A delegate demanded that Duncan be found and made to vote, in order to record his sentiments in the mat ter. Duncan was in the lobby and came in. The names of all who had not voted when the roll was first called, were called again, and Duncan voted against the expulsion of Dunne. This places him and his organiza tion on record as still being opposed to the policies of the American Fed eration of Labor. The unseating of Dunne was dra matic. A. Greenstein, delegate from the Jewelry Workers’ union, said that a maii^iamed William F. Dunne was a member of the Ku Klux Klan In Berrien county, Mich. He wanted to know whether Delegate Dunne was the same man. "I want to know if he is a klux, whether he is ‘boring from within' the communists for the klux, or is ‘boring from within’ in the ku klux for the communists," demanded Greenstein. Demands Defense Dunne did not answer the charge, but demanded that he be given an opportunity to enter a defense against the “persecution” of himself. He re ferred to the action against himself as “star chamber proceedings.” Mr. Gompers said that it was a most peculiar charge, under the cir cumstances, as Mr. Dunne had been given every chance to present his side of the case. In the voting, every delegate was put on record, except a few who did not vote, as to their sympathies for or against the red movement in or ganized labor. Even the delegates who introduced and are sponsoring a resolution regarding the recogni tion by the United States of soviet Russia, almagation and the forma tion of a third political workers’ par ty, voted against Mr. Dunne. These same policies are favored by the reds. Dunne’s own organization, the Electrical Workers’ union, with 1,419 votes, voted solidly against him. After the vote had been announced Mr. Gompers asked Dunne to “please retire.” Dunne made several efforts to speak but was forced to leave the hall. Outside he was greeted by a crowd of sympathizers, who denounced the “steam roller” tactics of President Gomeprs. They had come from the galleries. S. O. S. Call Received From Japanese Steamer at Sea Universal Service Key West, Fla., Oct. 8.—An S. O. S. call from the Japanese steamer Karachi Maru, was picked up here late Monday afternoon. Another steamer in the vicinity responded to the call but its name is not known. The Hf. O. S. call came from a loca tion about 350 miles off the North Carolina coast, and did not state what the trouble was. Performance of Ruth May Decide Big Series BY THOMAS L. CUMMINSKEY Universal Service Sports Editor New York, Oct. 8,—If the shield that hides the future could be shoved aside, and what Babe Ruth will do in the world's series revealed, a real line on the outcome of the Yankees Oiants combat could be forthcoming. A picture is vivid In my mind of Babe in training at New Orleans last spring. There he was, with perspira tion dropping off him like water, run ning around the park after every thing, up in batting practice, strain ing with his all to be in condition. He had been a sad spectacle In the world series last fall. It was ques tioned if the Babe could come back. As he worked, other Yankees stop ped whatever they were doing, to see if he had his “eye on the ball.” if he could hit ’em as he used to do. It was very clear that they depended greatly on what the Babe would drt in the pennant hunt. They were wondering how he would make out in his earnest, tireless efforts. Well, all in all, the Babe has com pleted the greatest season of his career. In other years he played for Ruth, for the glory of the home run. His team often suffered in conse quence. This year he played for the team, a new man toward his mates, toward his man-ger, Miller Huggins. Where once he swung with hands far down on the bat, to lace the homer and the homer only, or fail in the attempt, he changed to shorten, "to choke up" on his bat, and hit smaller blows. The smaller blows were far more effective in the usual run of victories than the homers. Got 41 Runs Babe got 41 home runs this year, but they were incidental. The total is an imposing one, nevertheless. But It was in safe hitting, singles, doubles and triples, that Ruth stood out. He made 106 singles, 45 doubles and 13 triples. It was a season of marked decline in hitting, but he has an av erage of around .396. The value of his bat to the Yanks the past season is truly incalculable. The “eye on the ball” which the Babe possessesTs one of the greatest baseball has known. Conjecture as to what would have happened if Babe had “choked” his bat in the series last year and the year before, instead of swinging with his tremendous follow through sweep, could run Into reams of paper. It would bo mighty interesting, too. Christy Mathewson said after the series last fall that if Babe would shorten up on his bat he could baffle the pitchers, who Christy believed would try the stuff on him the Giants did. This was said to be a low ball, a slow ball, and a fast one mixed. The Babe baffied the pitchers to such an extent that they took to passing him in a manner never before seen. Not even in 1921 when he lammed 59 homers. Spell Over Babe Manager John McGrew of the Giants, the romanatlclsts say, exer cises a spell over Babe. The way Babe has looked in the two world’s series between the Giants and the Tanks many believe so. It is said to have had its birth in a spring ex hibition game in Tampa, in 1920, when the Babe hit a ball far over the park, as tremendous a poke as was ever seen. That, they say, got McGraw to thinking, to visualizing that the Yankees, so long In the rut, would arise with a new star to v.e for the long standing popularity of the Giants. There's no fiiestion McGraw is one of the greatest, if not the greatest manager that ever lived. But Babe Ruth is one of the greatest, perhaps second only to Ty Cobb, among hit ters of all time. In this series it is a new Babe, trained to do hls mightiest. What will fee do? If he does big things, so should the Yanks. If not, they are apt to shoot down with their falling star. Manager Huggins de pends greatly on the Babe to bring the Yanks their first world's cham pionship. The Yanks worked out Monday at the Polo grounds, and the McGraw clan at the Yankee stadium. They will limber up and keep batting eyes trimmed thiswise again Tuesday, in cidentally familiarizing with the fields as much as possible. Pipp Back In Shape Wally Pipp, Yankee star first base man, worked out with his mates Monday for the first time since he wrenched hls right ankle in Boston two weeks ago. The ankle is still tightly strapped with tape and leath er bandages. He has high hopes of playing. In case Pipp is kept out of the first game or more, Babe Ruth will be at first. He isn’t as good a defensive player as Pipp but handles himself well there. Bob Meusel, also hurt In the Boston series, looked his old self Monday. Business Manager Barrow of the Yanks announced that all the re served seats for the first game, Col umbus day and Sunday games at the stadium had been sold. The Giants reported they had pot yet sold out their reserved seats. The betting varies between 6 and ■ and 11 and 10 with the Yankees fa vorites. The financial district re ports $300,000 to change hands if the series goes seven games. CABINET GIVEN BROAD POWERS Limited Dictatorship Voted in Germany — Strings Tied to Stresemann BY KARL H. VON WIEGAND Universal Service Correspondent Berlin, Oct. 8.—Germany Tuesday will pass under a limited dictator ship. For the immediate future, however, it will be held within con stitutional restrictions. The reichsrath, w'hieh is the Ger man senate representing the dif ferent German states, Monday voted blanket dictatorial powers to the Stresemann cabinet. The action is taken in what is believed to be a vain hope that Stresemann will thus be able to pull Germany out of its eco nomic and financial abyss. It is expected that this emergency bill will pass the reichstag Tuesday. In a short paragraph, the bill grants the cabinet power tq “take such fi nancial, economic, and sociological measures as the government consid ers advisable and urgent. In this the fundamental principles of the constitution may be departed from.” Hope to Have 8-Hour Day Specifically withheld is the dicta torial authority to regulate the work ing hours of labor. With this res ervation the reichstag, and partic ularly the socialists, hope to save the eight-hour day. In granting Stresemann these ex traordinary blanket powers, the Ger man national parliamnent practical ly confesses its impotence to deal with the desperate situation and re luctantly yields half-way to the ever increasing cry for a dictator. The reichstag believes that it had a rope around the neck of the chan cellor and it can figuratively hang him, as dictator, at any moment with a paragraph in the bill which says that the government must im mediately lay before the reichstag, all measures, steps and actions it takes. If not approved of parlia ment, such measures are forthwith to be rescinded. String to Dictatorship In this manner the reichstag hopes to maintain strict control over the government’s dictatorial exercise of power. This very reservation, It is believed In many quarters, will ren der the dictatorial powers as grant BOY LOSES FINGERS IN CORN BINDER Winner, S. D„ Oct. 9.—Ewald Rosecrans, 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Rosecrans, living 18 miles southwest of Winner, was painfully injured when his hand was caught in the gears of a corn binder. He was brought to Winner and up on examination it was found that the fingers on his right hand were badly crushed and it was necessary to amputate the two middle fingers. OFFICER’S ACTS WARRANT PROBE Congress Will Investigate Causes for Removal of Reclamation Head Universal Service Washington, Oct. $.—The removal of Arthur Powell Davis as director of the reclamation service, will prob ably be made the subject of a con gressional investigation, according to a formal statement Issued by the Civil Service Reform league Monday. "The facts thus far uncovered in connection with Davis case are suf ficient to warrant a congressional in vestigation to establish all the facts," declared the statement. "No doubt such an investigation will be prompt ly undertaken when congress recon venes. "Secretary Work has given no ade quate statement of his reasons for removing an engineer and placing a politician at the head of the re clamation service. The fact that the president does not recall signing the executive order that validated the change indicates that no adequate explanation of the case was made by Secretary Work, even to the pres ident. "Nowhere has it been denied that A. P. Davis was a highly competent engineer, eminently qualified to head this engineering branch of the gov ernment service. Nowhere has it been claimed that D. W. Davis Is an engineer or denied that his a poli tician,” the league declares. “A con gressional investigation would afford an excellent opportunity to compare" the business qualifications and achievements of the two Davises." ed practically nullified. In both extreme camps—the nati onalists and communists—it is de clared that Stresemann is not a Moses who will lead his people out of the darkness of the financial swamps< into which the country is sinking. It is the last experiment before what may be an unlimited dictatorship. If we must have a dictator, let us have a parliamentary one," declared Deputy Breitscheid, one of the so cialist leaders in the reichstag. HALF-MILLON cars , LICENSED IN IOWA. Des Moines, la., Oct. 9.—A total of 520,351 licenses for passenger motor cars had been issued up to October 1, according to figures compiled by W. M. Oolladay, superintendent of the state motor vehicle department. This is 52.000 more than for all of 1922, when 468,099 passenger licenses were issued.

GOVERNOR MAY RESIGN OFFICE, LATEST RUMOR Judge Hints at Government Action in Charge to Grand Jury Universal Service Oklahoma City, Oct. 8.—No com promise. no deviation In any detail from the program planned by the legislative majority which Is deter mined to probe Oklahoma state offi cials from governor down to the most unimportant appointee. That Irrevocable decision was giv en Speaker Murray Gibbons of the house of representatives Monday night at a conference sought by him with W. D. McBee, chief of the "re bel group.” Therefore. It is war to political, perhaps even social death. Gibbons, pro-Waltonite, is expect ed to be deposed Thursday at Gover nor Walton's extra session, and Mc Bee, whose "impeachment” advocates are being augmented hourly, will Just as surely be elected speaker. Governor Walton was In confer ence until late Monday night with his closest advisers. He said he had nothing to make public. Walton May Resign, Rumor. There were persistent rumors that the governor would resign. A sweeping federal grand Jury in vestigation of the governor's acts and the workings of the Ku Klux K!an was also in prospect. Even the governor’s voluntary re tirement, which Is possible and even expected, would have no effect upon the legislative probe. According to one report the governor will go be fore the legislature, deliver his mes sage, explain his gubernatorial acts, proclaim his attitude toward the klan, demand its dissolution and then qultj The hint of federal Investigation came from Tulsa, where Federal Judge R. L. Williams, former gov ernor of Oklahoma, delivered his charge to the grand Jury. Citizens Guaranteed in his charge he said: “Citizens are guaranteed the right of trial by Jur^ and representation by counsel. Persons and property are to be protected from unlawful search and seizure. No court, no governor, no officers, no congress or legislature can takp these rights away. If no governor or legislature can do it, it fol’ows that no private citizen or assembly of citizens can do it. Any such assembly is nothing but a mob.” The suggestion that “both sides’* be investigated was contained in this paragraph of the charge: “You stand in the presence of your country and the God of Hosts in making these Investigations, and if there ever was a time when a grand Jury should consider the law care fully, it is a time like this In Okla homa, where, on one side the execu tive has trampled it under foot, and on the other the mob has trampled it under foot." Judge Williams last Thursday or ganized election officials in his home town when he and others were denied the privilege of voting and cast their ballots in an improvsed ballot box. 1919 Baseball Scandal Bobs Up at Hearing Ghost of World Series Squabble Revived in Bucketshop Case Universal Service New York, Oct. 8.—Into the ref eree’s hearing on the Fuller-McGee bucketshop case, Monday came stalk ing the ghost of the great world ser ies baseball scandal of 1919. Arnold Rothstein, broker and gambler, who denied before a grand Jury in Chicago Investigating the White Sox scandal, that he had “framed’’ the series, told unwillingly Monday before Referee Coffin of how he lost »26,000 to Edward M. Fuller on the series. After Rothstein had sidestepped the questioning leading to the base ball scandal and his connection with it, Referee Coffin told him he must answer the questions, because if it were proved that Rothstein had won money on the series of 1919, knowing it to be fixed, the creditors of the defunct Fuller firm would have a claim on that money. Rothstein replied: “The fact of the mater is that Ful ler won from me on that series—not I from him.” Rothstein was named in connection with the baseball conspiracy but was never Indicted and the players In volved were acquitted, after their "confessions” had been stolen from the Chicago district attorney’s of fice. to say about the Irish question too. He told of the imperial conference now being held in London, and re ferred to the fact that the Irish free state has representatives there. “And I am glad of that,” he said. “I did my best to get them there and there is nothing I am prouder of than the fact that I, at last, succeed ed, using means which the Irish themselves not always appreciated.’* —this last beipg said with a laugb WANT BISHOPS TO SERVE BUT EIGHT YEARS.
