July i (Special) Theories that piratical marauders are at work In the traffic lanes oft the Atlantic coast reached a new high level today. Government wireless stations were sending broadcast to vessels at sea a warning to he on the lookout for a "low, rakish, suspicious-looking craft," sighted by Captain Giles of the Munson liner Munalbro Thurs day night Coincident with the sendlnr out of this warning, governmental agencies worked with renewed vigor on their Investigation Into the mysterious disappearance within the last few months of more' than a. score of mer chant vessels along the roast. Official Report Is Mnd. According to the official report of Captain Giles, which reached Wash ington tonight, bis vessol was about 300 miles due east. of Philadelphia, "when a low rakish, suspicious-looking craft, apparently very swift." approached the Munalbro with only Its running light showing. The vessels, according to Captain Giles, refused to answer any signals and after almost completely circling the Munalbro. sped away Into the darkness. The location of the Mun albro at the time the craft was sighted was given as 39 degrees 65 minutes north and 70 degrees 35 minutes west.

The court could have Issued al most (300,000 more In bonds, but it waa deemed best to keep the amount down to the loweat possible figure In order that the Interest may not become a burden. It is also very probable .that tne bond market will be better next year and the county will be able to realize a better figure for the bonds It sells. The county court sought the ad vice of the leading bankers and fi nancial experts, and It appears to he the general opinion that after the first of the year the bond market will be In each condition that the bonds can be sold very advantsge onsly. In order to benefit by thts fact the court thought It best to Issue only a limited amonnt of the bonds, to make available only the amount needed to carry on the pro jects plsnned for the late summer.

Oil shipments have fallen off 78 per cent since the new Mexican export tax hecanre ef fective, according to unofficial esti mates.
