The Scorpion, veteran of the Spanish-American war. interned here when the United States joined the allies, and now Admiral Bristol's flagship, has been ordered sold by the Navy department. The Scorpion has been stationed here much of the time since 1908, when it became a dispatch boat for the American em bassy. It is a converted yacht. When the German cruisers Goeben and Brcslau, made their sensation al escape at the opening of the war, and raced down the Mediterranean to deliver themselves to Turkey, it was an American audience on an American grandstand which watched the thrilling finish inthc harbor of Constantinople. ( " From the deck of the gunboat Scorpion, flying the flag of the L'nit ed States, the officers and men, with no little amusement, beheld the evi dently Teutonic crews of the erst while ships of , the German navy hastily doffing their Gorman caps and donning Moslem fezzes as the Turk ish flag was hoisted to the mast head. Throughout the war the Scorpion was a vantage point of observation for the events which occurred in the near cast. When the United States became a belligerent it quietly in terned, since there was no declara tion of war with Turkey, and nothing to be gained by this little vessel risk ing almost certain destruction by an effort to run the U-boat gauntlet in the Mediterranean in order to reach the naval forces of the allies. Thrilling Times for the Crew. This, however, does not mean that the Scorpion's wartime existence was wholly monotonous. It had its thrills and its opportunities for service. When Turkey entered the war the crev, of the Scorpion was invaluable to Iir. Morgenthau in guarding em bassies and helping to get the re tiring allied officials and thousands of noncombatants men. women and children safely out of the city. The American flag was tempo rarily hoisted over the British em bassy, and men of the Scorpion stood on guard about the building, because there were rumors that an attack was to be made upon it, and Mr. Morgenthau had been requested by the British governnrent to take charge of British interests. ' But the most thrilling episode in the Scorpion's long sojourn in the Bosporus occurred on May 25. 1916. Long lines of transports, with 40, 000 or 50,000 troops aboard, were at the quays ready to sail tor the re-enforcement of the Ottoman armies at the Dardanelles. An escort of destroyers and patrol boats had been sent ahead into the Sea of Marmora, and one or two destroyers were racing about in the Bosporus. The opportunity for a sudden blow by the allies was excellent, if any body could get near enough to strike the blow. Approach, however, meant running the blockade of mines and shore guns and other defense which, thus far. had made the Dardanelles impregnable. . So the Turks felt fairly safe. Warning from Submarine. A rumor spread, however, on May 24 that the skipper of a submarine had addressed a letter to the neutral embassies requesting that all neutral ships, for their own protection, should immediately withdraw from the open harbor. It was said that the letter had been given to the captain of a Greek tug boat. This assertion, however, has never been verified, nor has a copy of the letter ever been seen. So far as is known it was never delivered. Suspicion exists that it fell into Turkish hands. This suspicion is strengthened by the fact that almost coincideiitly several tugboat. captains of Hellenic race "disappeared." It was with a sense of expectancy quickened by this rumor that the Scorpion's lookout watdied the early morning preparations of the Turkish transports to sail. ' The moment for departure had al most arrived when a suddeil shout from the quartermaster of the Scor pion, brought all hands scrambling on deck. , "British" submarine,"' rang out the cry. Sure enough, heading at full speed for the troop ships, with the riffle of water white around its periscope, was a British submarine. Tlie Turks had made simultaneous discovery of it, and their artillery opened fire. The marksmanship was poor, however, for all the shells fell harmless. . Blows Up Turkish Craft. The submarine made a full sweep of the harbor, and when only 100 yards from the Turkish field guns fired its first torpedo. A moment later there was a ter rific explosion. A Turkish lighter vanished from the. water, and pres ently fell back again in fragments. A big hole was blown in the -side of an empty transport. The first torpedo was followed al most immediately by a second. The Scorpion's crew watched its white streak as it slid past their gunboat on the port side, headed up the Bos porus. It went under a small boat and passed on upstream to sink with out doing the foe any injury. Meantime a Turkish torpedo boat, with no little intrepidity, had dashed at full speed toward the hostile visi tor, evidently intent upon ramming it. But the Brtish were too quick, and when the Turks reached the point where the submarine had been, ft was no longer there submergence had carried it to safe depths. All the harbor police and patrol boats were rushing around looking for the "sub." Turkish naval officers of high rank grabbed rifles and put out in motor boats, hoping to get a ihot at the invader. The shore artil lery continued to rain shells around. Some of the shells menaced the neutral shipping much more serious ly than-they did the British enemy. "They came so near the Scorpion," said Lieutenant Commander Stewart F. Bryant, one of its officers, "that the men had to be ordered below decks. The Scorpion, in the midst of the excitement, beat all its previous records for gettihg up steam and shifting position." Stops Turk Expedition. Nothing more was seen of the sub- marine, which made Its escape ith-r lout suffering any damage. While the British had not done any very serious harm there had been no loss of life they had succeeded in pro ducing a profound effect. The Turks did not dare venture out with their transports. All the troops were dis embarked and the sea expedition to the Dardanelles abandoned. The rein forcements proceeded to the trench es either by rail or on foot. The Fourth of July was celebrated on the Scorpion in 1916, and one of the interesting features of the cele bration was the reading of the Declaration of Independence by an Englishman who was a guest. Soon thereafter it was assigned a berth in the Golden Horn, between the two bridges which connect Stam boul, the old Turkish quarter, with Pcra, the European section. The new position gave the crew an op portunity to watch a daily panorami of ceaseless change and interest. At some hour in the 24 a sample of practically every1 race and tribe on the face of the earth passes over one or other of these bridges. NowhcrTff can be seen a more amazing array of costumes, bizarre, colorful, oriental. See Strange Sights. Officers and men of the Scorpion saw the, Turkish troopscommanded by German officers, gonig away to war; they saw the Turkish wounded returning; they saw the British pris oners captured at Ga'llipoli, march ing to the Turk prison camps. Enver Pasha, the Turkish minister' of war, attended by his Teuton advisors, was a daily spectacle, speeding over the bridges in his big touring car. Nearby lay the yacht of the fugi tive khedive of Egypt, a beautiful vessel. Not far away was the steam ship General, the headquarters of the German admiralty staff, which, in reality, directed Turkish operations. Chicago Tenants Defy 'Moving' Day "Strikers"' Claim 2,200 Will Retain Apartments Real tors Say 500. ' Chicago, April 30. The advent of moving day brought widely diverg ent estimates from officials of the Chicago Tenants' Protective league r.nd members of the Chicago Real Estate board as to the number in volved in the "strike" of tenants .those who were defying eviction suits and at the same time refusing to sign new leases at increased rentals. "I fully believe there will be 2,200 tenants who will retain their apart ments Monday in defiance to their landlords," said President J. Ritchie Patterson of the Tenants' league. One member of the Real Estate board said he did not think the strik ing tenants would number more than 500. The occurrence of moving, day on Sunday, with many tenants unable to move because' their nevy apartment is occupied by a "rent striker," has added complications to the situation. Action of Employer? In Reducing Salaries Assailed By Gompers Washington, April 30. Action on the part of some employers in reduc ing; wages Avas assailed by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, as "not only unjustified," but the most foolhardy manner by which to emerge from any industrial reaction." "All agree," he declared, "that in dustrial revival, the inauguration of a new era of prosperity, depends in the largest degree upon the purchas ing, consuming and using power of the great mass of the people. To reduce wages is .to curtail the using and consuming power of the people. "The offer and the forcing of one reduction is almost invariably fol lowed by others. The whole thought is uneconomic and 'contrary to the interests and welfare of our national progress, advantage and prosperity." Irish "Ambassador" Badly Beaten on Way to Russia Riga, April 30. (By The As sociated Press.) Russian A so- called Irish ambassador to Russia arrived in Murmansk early in April, and being unable to speak Russian; was badly beaten on the' train by "red guards" and robbed of his money and valuables, and then jailed until his identity was estab lished, according to reports- from Petrograd today.

SUNDAY. MAY 1. 1921. Toward the Bosporus was a pon toon bridge, over which, occasion ally, the sultan and his harem could be seen passing in pomp and mag nificence. German submarines were frequent ly seen. They would go sliding by the Scorpion on their way to the arsenal quays and. dry docks. One, it was said, had made the trip from Kiel, sinking two British warships in the Dardanelles en route. An in teresting story, which our officers could never verify, was told in Con stantinople about the French sub marine Turquoise, which .was cap tured by the Turks. Heroic Sacrifice of French. The Moslems could not under stand the machinery, so they ordered the- French engineers to start the engines. The Frenchmen started the .submerging apparatus and the "sub" dived, carrying French and Turks along with it, never to return. The first American battles with the Germans were fought, I think. beyond all question by the crew of the Scorpion. One night two men from the Scorpion were sitting near a large group of sailors from the Brcslau and the Goeben. One of the Ger mans walked ostentatiously past our men. remarking in audible, if broken English: "The German navy can lick the American navy any time it wants to come out." "Come out?" shouted one of the Scorpion boys. 'W'hadayamean 'come out'?" And what are you do ing here? Why aren't you tied up in the Kiel canal with the rest of the schooner sinkers?

Then the Germans threw beer bot tles, and the Americans went down."

Huge Airship Firm Launched Passenger Service Between Chicago and New York Is Planned By Next Spring. Washington, April 30. Passenger airships running between New York and Chicago by the spring of 1922, later from Chicago to San Francisco and eventually throughout the world, is the aim of a $50,000,000 airship corporation with headquarters in Washington, organization of which was disclosed here today.

By JOHN STEELE. Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright, 1021. London, April 30. Sir Robert Hornc, chanccller of the exchequer, announced in the house of commons this afternoon that all " negotiations for settlement of the coal strike had been broken off and that he did not know if the local lodges would be able to reverse the decision of the miners' delegates. It was now clear, he said, from the miners' rejection of tlie govern ments offer of a 10,000.000 subsidy, that the strike was not due to a dis pute over wages, but was a politi cal issue w ith nationalization .as its objective. The miners' executives held a short meeting in London this morning be fore the delegates scattered for their home districts, to which the mine owners are also returning. One of the miners' leaders said that the strike would last another month at least. The same opinion was ex pressed by Hodges and others. Railroad service is to be cut down Monday to the war standard 50 per cent normal. Street lighting and power also will be reduced. Much distress is reported among miners' families in the Rhonda val ley and other Welsh districts and it is reported that some of the men are anxious for district settlements of the dispute. So far there has been no rioting. "Mystery Vamp" Is Revealed in Alienation Suit Chicago, April 30. The presence of a "mystery vamp" in the life of John A.

The woman's name was not brought out. "Did Mrs. Farwell ask this woman to leave her son alone r" the attorneys asked. "Yes," came the answer. Mrs. Dudley said the elder Mrs. Farwell had told her several times that she was not responsible for the separation of her son and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Dudley stated further that Farwell asked his mother for $400, 000 so he could make a settlement with his wife. Slugger Describes Work During Strike Chicago, April 30.
