This carried January contracts up to 15.92 c and May to 16.15 c. reported shorts covering there, owing to a better spot demand from the continent.

After the c.ose of Liverpool demand was less active and prices here eased off a few points from tlie nest under realizing, but there ■was very little southern selling and the market showed a steady tone with active months ruling some 35 to 45 points net higher around midday. Local traders were inclined to connect reports of a better continental demand in Liverpool with ad vices received here of improving central European conditions as pointing to a better export demand during the second half of the season. Offerings became heavier during the early afternoon owing to less favorable reports from the stock market and rumors of un settled spo: conditions in the south, al though very little southern seling was roe ported January deliveries broke to 15.42. or about 55 points from the early high level and within 12 points of last night’s closing. » NEW YORE COTTON % The following were the ruling prices in the exchange today: Tone, steady; middling. 16.65 c, quiet.

January rose to 15.29 c and July to 15.50 c, the latter month being the strongest in the list as the result of speculative buying. The advance remained in force until it amounted to 61 to 70 points.

I.—Weekly weather and cotton crop report says: Moderate temperatures and mostly light precipitation in Arkansas and Oklahoma were favorable for gathering cotton still in the fields in those states. Picking progressed slowly in Oklahoma, however, and quality of staple remaining unpicked steadily deteriorating on account of ex posure to weather. Considerable low grade cotton is being abandoned in Texas; fail progress was made in harvesting in Tennes see and the Carolinas; picking has been practically completed . in all portions of the east gulf states. Considerable cotton remains in the fields in northeastern por tion of the belt. SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dee. I.—While more or less difficulty was found in sustaining ad vances. the trend of the cotton market to day was toward higher levels, mainly as the result of the better tone in the spot department and the large export movement, the grand total of foreign shipments for the day being 108,945 bales, against 17,786 this day last year, bringing the movement thus far this week up to 224,817 bales, against 105,562 during the same period last year. In the spot markets of the interior more firmness on the part of holders was noted and something of an improvement in the demand. Points in the eastern belt told of sales of low graces to Carolina mills. The main feature against the market was the general expectations of bearish gin ning reports, although some of the selling of the day was done on the slump in the stock market. The opening was higher in sympathy with a better Liveerpool than due and the advance continued until it amount ed to 61 to 70 points. The reaction pared the gains down to 5 to 22 points but late in the session the market was only about 30 points down from the highest. The situation no longer is one-sided. There may be more confidence on the short side but the bullish traders will have an immense advantage if improvement in the spot mar kets continue and exports remain at any thing like their present scale.

East End Extension of Galveston’s Sea Wall To Be Finished in 1921 GALVESTON, Tex., Dec. I.—The east end extension to Galesvton’s treat sea wall will be completed by August 1. 1921, predicts Major L.-M. Adams, U. S. A., engineer in charge of the work. To date 9,110 feet have been constructed, while about 1,200 feet remain to be built. The project, is being built at the expense of the government. Comparative figures for the origi nal wall and for the extension now under construction show piat post war conditions have laid an almost prohibitive hand upon great en gineering projects. . To complete the east end exten sion, the rivers and harbors commit tee at Washington has been asked tc appropriate $1,500,000. The origi nal sea wall —approximately five miles in length—built after the dis astrous 1900 storm, in which thou sands of persons lost their lives and millions of dollars in damage done, cost only $2,090,000. The government’s extension, as also is the wall completed in 1904. is seventeen feet above the mean low tide and roughly 1.5 feet above the high water mark of the 1900 storm. It is five feet at its crest, with a base of sixteen feet, sloping toward the gulf. On the landward side the wall is banked with earth ever which has been built Galves ton's famous “sea wall boulevard,” while huge granite boulders protect the foundations of the wall from erosion of the waves.

Roundup of Loiterers Is Begun by Police; Thirty <• One Indicted Out of fifty-four true bills return ed by the Fulton county grand jury Tuesday afternoon, over thirty were for vagrancy, and these were the re?- suit of a sweeping investigation ot alleged gambling conditions conduct ed throughout the city by Solicitor General John>A. Boykin and the city police. j A recent order was issued by Ch\ef of Police J. L. Beavers to arrest all persons loitering about poolrooms and on the streets of the city, who are not regularly at work, and efforts will be made to have them bound over Tn the recorder’s court on a charge of vagrancy. It is the pur pose, Chief Beavers and Mr. Boykin say, to make a "clean-up” of the al leged gamblers and loiterers in the city. Chief of Detectives Lamar Poole, Lieutenants T. D. Shaw and R. L. Waggoner and several detectives and policemen were before the grand jury Tuesday to testify against the large number of alleged vagrants.

He called him ‘Kansas.’ We got to talk ing and, under questions by Moore, Powers admitted that he knew a cer tain Judge Baker, who, he said, rep resented 90 per cent of tlie race horses in tlie United States. Towers told us that he was one of tliirty men sent out by tliis racing associa tion to break up race horse betting in the pool rooms. “He showed us a clipping from a. Kansas City paper giving him and the association a sensational write up, and then he showed us a letter from the president of the associa tion, warning him against such pub licity, and telling him not to let it occur again. He asked us not. to say anything about his scheme for that reason, and in return for our silence, told us he would show us how to pick up a little expense money.” "Moore seemed so anxious to make this money,’’ said Lamar, “that the two of them met Powers the next day at the Piedmont hotel, and from there went to a building on West Peachtree street which Powers call ed the 'exchange.' On their first visit, said Lamar, Powers told them that he had abso lutely sure information every day from the head of his association on how certain races were going. He asked them to place a little bet for him. as it was against the rules for him to bei himself. He gave them five SIOO biis a piece. They made the bets. They won, and they turned over to Powers SI,OOO each. Then, said Lamar, Powers made a bet by which he won $12,600,’ but he had put up a check and the cash ier refused to pay, until he had evi dence that the check was good, or the equivalent in cash. Lamar said they all left the ex change. talking about how they could get $42,000 to show that the check was good. Then, he said, he and Moore left Powers, but had an ap pointment to meet him the next day. At ten the next morning said La mar, Powers came in kind of ex cited. He told them he had walked and walked all night, that he had telegraphed Judge Baker and that Judge Baker’s wife had sent him $14,000 of the money. He said he could raise $4,000 more in St. Louis He asked Moore, the witness said, if he couldn’t raise $11,600, and then asked Lamar what he could raise, tolling them there was no risk, that they wouldn’t, have to part with the money at all: they would simply have to show it to the cashier. “I told him I would go home and see what I could do,” said Lamar, “and he told .me just what to tele graph back to him —a code system in which the word ‘carloads’ Was to represent thousands. If I could get the SII,OOO I was to wire him. 'I am coming with eleven loads.’ ’’ Lamar said he couldn’t raise the money, but he brought back to At lanta with him his friend, Mr. Hol ley, who did raise it. Powers and Moore met them at the train, he said, and took them to a room at the Piedmont. Then he said they all went’ out to the ‘exchange,’ he (Lamar) with Holley’s SII,OOO in his grip. “We all sat doxyn at a table on which I put the grip,” said Lamar. “Moore came up with a package he said was SII,OOO. Powers %aid down another package he said was SIB,OOO, making $40,000 in all. The cashier told us we would have to go out and count our money. Pow ers took the grip and the packages, passed them to Moore, and Moore gave it to the cashier and went out with it. That was the last I ever saw of the money." Moore Bet Xt AH When Moore came back, said the witness, he was flushed and excited. He told them that he had bet not only what they brought, but what they had won—sß2,ooo in all, on a horse; that he had won again, and that they all stood to collect $164,- 000 if they could show the money to cover some checks he had put up as part of his wager. Lamar said he and Holley went back to Aiken to raise some more money. When they returned to At lanta, Moore and Poxvers met them at the depot again, and also met them at the Piedmont. After that, he said, they had some difficulty making appointments with Moore. He said that Holley’s brother was with them, and Powers did not'want to meet any third parties. Finally, said Lamar, he and Holley got so suspicious that they called the At lanta police and had two detectives come to the Piedmont. He described hoxv he and Holley, expecting the detectives to follow them, encountered Powers outside the Piedmont, walked with him down Luckie street, and when the detect ives did not appear, seized him themselves and held him until they could get a policeman. Cross Examination Attorney John S. McClellan, of McClellan, Key & McClellan, the law firm that, with Attorney Samuel D. Hewlett, is defending Powers, sub jected Lamar to a grilling cross-ex amination. The principal point he strove to make avas that Powers had never touched Holley's money, and that Lamar in conversation with po licemen had admitted as much. In answer to this, Lamar said that when the money was on the table in a grip. Powers took the grip and handed it to Moore and that Moore and the cashier went out together with the grip. “Why didn’t you demand your sll,- 000 back?” asked Attorney McClel lan. “We did, but we were told that it had been bet like the rest,” said the witness. Lamar denied that he had said in the presence of Police Lieutenant Shaw, Policeman Whatley and Citi zen Policemen Bellflower and Ed mondson that Poxvers never had a hand on his grip. Attorney McClel lan insisted that such a conversa tion had been held, and when the solicitor objected to his questions, told the court he was trying to show that Lamar had changed his story after he had seen the solicitor. Lamar repeated his denial, tiut Mr. McClelland had Lieutenant Shaxv, Policeman Whatley and Policeman Bellfloxver brought into court and identified by Lamar as men he had talked to. It is understood that he will , call them later to attempt to prove his contention. Describes Arrest Lamar described in detail how he and Holley seized Powers. He said the reason that the detectives didn’t accompany them from the* room in the Piedmont was that the detectives told them the Atlanta crooks had po‘- lice officers spotted and it would be a mistake for them to go along. Aft er the seizure, said Lamar, a crowd of people followed them up the street, and a young man in the crowd went and called the police station for them. Lamar admitted that Powers did not resist arrest. He said, however, that Powers begged to be turned loose, and that Holley replied, “Gim me my money and I’ll turn you loose.” Throughout the morning the court room was packed almost exclusively with men. Chief of Detectives La mar Poole was an interested specta tor. Powers sat a table with his law yers. When he first came in he stepped jauntily, and flourished a red handkerchief in his coat pocket. During the picking of the jury he consulted eagerly with his lawyers, and from time to time during the tes timony of Lamar leaned forward and suggested questions to ask the wit ness. Mrs. Poxvers xvas not present at her husband’s trial. The trial xvas adjourned for lunch at 1 o’clock xvith Lamar still on the stand. Court was te reconvene at 2 o’clock. Following the arrest of Mrs. Abe Powers, wife of the defendant, Mon day, a search of the woman’s room at a local hotel was made and her baggage was taken to police head quarters, xvhere it was examined for evidence of her connections with the alleged illegal operations of her hus band. The raid was conducted by Lieutenant of Detectives R. L. Wag gonner and Detective J. M. Austin. Society Girl Wears Dainty Costume at N. Y. Charity Ball ■ |gr -1 •• -j/ - I■ < z 4 Many persons prominent in New York society attended a Ve netian ball given in aid of Amer cia’s tribute to Italy. The above photograph shoxvs Miss Judith M. Smith in a costume which at tracted much attention. It was said, however, that nothing was found in the xvoman’s trunks which implicated her in any way. Powers’ Statement The defense introduced no wit nesses, resting its case on the state ment of Powers himself, who took the stand late Tuesday afternoon and told his story to the jury, talk ing rapidly ahd at times beating the arm of the> chair with his fist in order to emphasize his declarations. He spoke’ as follows: “All I’ve got to say about this is that I was on my way from New York to Houston, and stopped off in Atlanta. When I got off the trails at the Terminal station, I met a man named Grant, and we chummed around a little. We went up to the Piedmont and got a room together and he -asked me if I was a sport, if I wanted to make a little money. Then he enticed me to this place on West Peachtree,’ explaining that the horse racing bets xvere a sure thing. He didn’t have any money and he asked me to bet for him. So I bet a couple of thousand and won. “The next day I met Mr. Moore and Mr. Lamar. Later on I met Mr. Holley. I told them about the prop osition and they said it sounded good. We all went out to the place. Holley xvent in and bet some money and won, and I congratulated him. We decided that it was such a good thing that there wasn't any reason why we shouldn’t use a check. If they accepted it so good. If they wouldn’t, we didn’t lose anything. “After we placed the check and won, a man came out who said he was the manager. He said the clerk accepted the check without his knowledge and Holley said that was all right, he would furnish the money, and he’d keep on furnishing the money if I’d. furnish informa tion from my friend Grant. Just a Pool Room “When we finally xvent back out there xvith money to cover the checks Moore and Holley took it all into one room, and I sat out in another room xvith old man Lamar. I never put my hands on it. The cashier said he’d wait a while on us and we’d have to wait a while on him. While we xvere xx-aiting, Mr. Grant told me he had another sure thing. “I asked the manager how long it would be before we got our money, and he said about thirty minutes. “I asked him if it would be all right to make a bet and he said sure, that we had a big balance coming. So xve xvrote out a check just as a matter of form. Holley and the rest agreed to it. After we won, Holley said: ‘Well, we’re all in the same boat we xvere before; xve’ve got to get more money to establish our checks, but leave it to me. I’ll get all the money I want.’ “Noxv. gentlemen, I believe in my honest heart that it xvas just a pool room and they would have paid us, if all this fuss hadn’t come up. This is the first time I’ve had to say my side, and that is it.” After Powers finished his state ment, the state put Holley back on the stand in rebuttal, and Holley de nied that he had consented to a check being put up for the bet. or that he had authorized the bet being made at all. , An echo of the controversy be tween Solicitor Boykin and Chief of Detectives Lamar Poole came when Mr. Boykin was examining Holley. Holley testified that, Pow ers’ arrest, he went with city officers to look for the West Peachtree place and couldn’t find it, but that, when he and Lamar went there with the solicitor, they found it “easy.” He added to this the statement that it was thirty or forty minutes after Powers’ arrest before they left the station xvith police officers to look for the place. Strong-Arm Method Is Used by Monday Night Burglars Here A number of burglaries, accom plished or attempted, appeared in the police records Tuesday morning from the previous night, featuring on’e or more strong-armed operators who made a practice of twisting locks off of thfe front doors of va rious shops, several being in the same general vicinity. The principal depredation was at the McGahee drug store, 673 High land avenue, the plate glass door of which was smashed for entrance, S4O in money and about SIOO in mer chandise being taken. The lock twisting tactics xvere in evidence at the Curry-Akers Tire company, 95 Marietta street, where the front door was opened by this athletic method and 75 cents con stituted the total booty so far as appeared Tuesday morning. The front door lock of a small grocery store at 358 Decatur street xvas wrenched off and about SIOO in food products stolen. The same rough tactics xvere observed at a fruit stand at Mitchell and Davis streets, xvhere $3 and a quantity of cigars and cigarettes were stolen; and at 418 and 452 Marietta street, grocery stores, where the locks were txvisted off but apparently nothing was taken. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1920- PHYSICIAN SAYS HE KNOWS FULL STOfIY OF SHEPARD CASE (Continued from Page 1) sense of Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hop son, but that he will confine his ef forts to Mrs. Elmer’s interests. Hearing Set for December 7 Hearing on applications for bail for Mrs. F. E. Elmer, of Jackson ville, Fla., her son, Ernest Hopson, and her sister, Mrs. lone Henry, charged with murder in connection with the death here June 1 of Mr. Fred D. Shepard, former husband of Mrs. Elmer and wealthy Houston’ county peach grower, has been set for December 7 by Judge Mathews, of the county superior court. Application for bail for Mrs. An nie E. Cutts, wife of an attorney of Fitzgerald, arrested late yester day on a warrant charging murder, had not been filed early today. Attorneys for Mrs. Elmer, her son and sister applied yesterday to Judge Mathews for bail, the petitions charging that the state had not pro duced evidence of guilt. An imme diate hearing was requested but this the. justice refused. The authorities early today had made no statement as to the alleged connection of Mrs. Cutts with the case. She formerly resided in Abbe ville, the home of Mrs. Elmer, be fore she married Mr. Shepard, and the two women were said to have been intimate friends. Mr. Shepard and his xvife were visiting at the home of Mrs. Henry, in Perry, when he became violently ill three days before his death, xvhich the coroner s jury said resulted from bichloride poison. .. Mrs. Elmer’s Plea for Bail Mrs. Elmer’s side of the case as set forth in her application for bail follows; To Honorable H. A. Mathews, Judge of the Superior court of the Macon Circuit: 1. Petitioner was on the 27th day of November, 1920, arrested upon a war rant issued by B. A. Hartley, a no tary public an dex-officia justice of the peace of Houston county, Geor gia, upon the affidavit of J. J. Rob inson, charging petitioner with the offense of murder. Petitioner was arrested upon said warrant and brought to Bibb county, Georgia, xvhere she is now confined in the custody of the sheriff of Bibb coun ty in the commoir jail of said county. Petitioner has had no opportunity before any judicial officer authorized to hear evidence upon said charge so commit petitioner, and no com mitment has been had. Petitioner shows that she is not guilty of the offense charged against her, nor of any other offense, and no evidence can be adduced making out a prima facie case of guilt against petition er, nor does there exist any evidence of her probable guilt. 3. Though said affidavit is silent as to the person xvho is alleged to have been burdered by petitioner, pe titioner shows that petitioner is in formed that it is sought by said affi davit to charge her with the offense of the murder of her husband, Fred D. Shepard. An inquest was recent ly held by the coroner of Houston county upon the body of said Fred D. Shepard. In the verdict of said coroner’s jury, rendered on said 27th day of November, 1920, there was no finding that any felonious homi cide had been committed, nor was any person whomsoever charged xvith the commission of any felon ious homicide, and in particular there was no finding that the death of said Fred D. Shepard was caused by any felonious act of your peti tioner. Petitioner shoxvs that so far as petitioner knows there exists no evi dence xvhatsoever which tends to raise even a suspicion of petitioner’s guilt of any crime with reference to the death of her said husband. The state has never put petitioner in possession of any evidence which tends to cast even a suspicion upon petitioner, and petitioner says that if any such evidence exists or is claimed to exist the same is abso lutely false and petitioner is entire ly innocent of any crime whatso ever. Petitioner says that she. vol untarily came within the jurisdic tion of this court, and put herself at the disposal of the solicitor gen eral of the Macon circuit for any investigation whatever that the said solicitor general desired to make xvith reference to the death of her said husband, and that petitioner vol untarily attended the hearing before the coroner’s jury at Fort Valley, Ga., when the aforesaid verdict was rendered, and advised the solicitor general at that time that she was ready to testify before said coron er’s jury if the solicitor so desired, but that the solicitor did not call your petitioner to testify, nor was she given any opportunity to make any statement before sAid jury. Pe titioner has never been advised by the state or any person prosecuting in this matter as to the reasons or any reason why petitioner should be suspected or detained by anyone, and she now again avers that there is no good reason why she should be so suspected or detained. Petitioner shows that she is,a del icate woman, that she has never been used to exposure, that she has not been accustomed to such sur roundings as those In which she is now placed during her imprisonment. The confinement in the common jail is a terrible humiliation to a woman of her sensibilities. Her detention within prison xvalls under restraint is a terrific strain upon her nervous system, and will seriously impair her health if continued. Petitioner is not now a xvell woman. She has recent# ly suffered with a prolonged attack of pneumonia, xx’hich left her in a xveakened condition, and in the pres ent state of her physical health the mental and nervous strain of her imprisonment threatens to be more than petitioner can bear, and peti tioner fears that if she is not re leased her health may be permanent ly impaired. Petitioner shows that she came into this state from state voluntarily, and placed herself with in the jurisdiction of this court, that she has made no effort to v avoid its processes, or to prevent the fullest investigation into all the matters connected with her said husband’s death. She has no intention, of seek ing to avoid the prodesses of the court in the future, nor is there any danger that she will fail to appear and answer any indictment should one be found against her, but, on the contrary, petitioner shows that she is ready and willing to voluntarily ap pear and submit herself fully to the order and judgment of this court whenever she should be called upon to do so, as she has already submit ted herself to the jurisdiction of this court voluntarily and without any compulsion whatsoever. , Petitioner is ready and xvilling and able and tenders good and sufficient bail in such amount as ma'y be fixed in the discretion of Your Honor for her appearance to answer any indict ment that may be found against her Wherefore, petitioner prays that the facts be Inquired into by Your Honor, and that she be admitted to bail.

Everybody knows about “Cher Ami,” the homing pigeon who, with one leg shot away, carried the mes sage that saved the Lost Battalion from annihilation. Cher Ami xvas cited and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. And almost every body has heard of “Spike,” who car ried the greatest number of messages over the lines during the ( fiercest fighting on the battle front and was I never wounded. But a comparatively small number of persons knoxv about the unique and sometimes spectacu lar feats that are being performed by the pigeons of the Atlanta Hom ing club. It has not more than a dozen mem bers, some of them nexv enthusiasts, while some of them have been raising homing pigeons for ten years. They own about 1,000 pigeons between them, valued at from $2 to SIOO apiece.- These birds are trained and raced from various southern points, liberating stations they are called. Within the past year races have been held from Montezuma. Ashburn, Val dosta, Ga., and White Springs, Gainesville, Dade City and Fort My ers, Fla. The Atlanta club is allied with the National Association of Homing Pig eon Fanciers. A great many duns over the United States are affiliated with this association and there are also two other national associations. Each individual loft is measured by the official surveyors, who establish the, distances from liberating points to home lofts. A long pedigree comes with the purchase of the more valuable car riers. Guy T. Tabler has a pigeon which is a granddaughter of “Bullet,” owned by O. W. Anderson, of Fort Wayne, which flew 1,040 miles in one day, covering the distance from Abelene, Tex., to Fort Wayne in elev en hours and thirty minutes. An other pigeon making a long distance record is known as “Thomas B,” and is owned by T. B. Brouillette, of Springfield, Mass. This pigeon flexv from Denver to Springfield, 1,689 miles, in two days. Dr. Joe Bomar sold one of his pedigreed pigeons to .a man in Ha vana, and, like the cat, the pigeon came back in a couple of days, fly ing across the water —home. One bird owned by W. J. Stoddard, chairman of the racing committee, has flown 500 miles in one day, and repeated the performance ten times. Other local pigeons have established long distance records almost as startling. The birds are carried in coops to the liberating station. An entrance fee of 25 cents for each pigeon is charged. Each oxvner entering pigeons may select or nominate five birds as possible winners, putting up $1 on each. If either one of these is the first bird home he wins the pool, or if one of his 25-cent entrants wins, then he proceeds. When the pigeons are small a tiny bracelet of aluminum, with the pigeon’s name is fastened around its leg. Another bracelet, giving its countermark or entrance number is placed around its leg just before the “take off.” The birds are released at a given moment, with Atlanta, of course, as the point In view. Liberated, the pigeons fly upward and circle around for a few min utes, getting their sense of direction. Presently a pigeon drops out, then another and another, each making a Classified Advertisements WANTED HELP-Male.

The race com bines all the excitement of horse and airplane racing. For each entrant th« oxvner has a little clock, known as the unique pigeon timer. All these clocks are set at 12. When a pigeon comes in, the little aluminum brace let is removed and inserted in a clock, which automatically starts running. When all the pigeons are in, naturally the clock that has been running longest represents the first arrival and the winner of the race. There are some tense moments sometimes xvhen a pigeon alights on the roof to strut about or rest be fore trapping in. It may be weary or frightened, but sometimes many minutes are lost this way and if an other bird alights and traps in im mediately, the second bird wins, as the racing is based entirely on the record of the little clocks. No prima donna can boast more temperament than these feathered couriers of the air, and no prims donna ever received more careful at tention and training. Yet, -while prima donnas may change their hus bands as often as they change the!) minds, not so the carrier pigeon Once mated, he is faithful to death Indeed, it is perhaps this character istic that makes them so valuable. Love of home, love of mate, love of offspring are so strong in the burn ing pigeon that no matter how far distant he is transported from home, eventually he xvill find his way back. Belgium was the first to use them in the great world war, mobil izing some 700,J00. Later, they were used by all the fighting countries. Our country created a pigeon sec tion attached to the signal corps and experts were sent overseas with their troops of these fleet and un erring winged messengers. Many of these American birds made history. The secretary of war issued a lettet of thanks to owners of birds throughout the country for the valu able assistance rendered bv the hom ing pigeon fanciers of the United States in the winning of the war. For these feathered veterans a home was built in Potomac park. The members of the Atlanta club are: Dr. S B. Bomar, president: Guy T. Tabler, secretary and treas urer; W J.

Old Slave Ship The famous old Freemont, which roamed the seas as a pirate ship, was dynamited amidships for a number of scenes in the new Pathe Special, "Half a Chance.” The Freemont was used as a slave car rier for many years before the Civil xvar and made numerous trips be tween AflMca and the southern states. It was 70 feet in length and was considered one of the fastest sail ing ships afloat. Many tales have been told of mutinies, murders and adventure which had taken place within this old shell. And now. since its dynamiting for “Half a Chance,” its days are numbered, even as a motion picture ship and it is almost ready for the wood pile.
