By United Press
WASHINGTON, Juno 22 Efforts to
solve the mystery of the "vanishing
ships" today centered on the finding
of sea marauders bolicved to have
boarded the schooner Deering and
made prisoners of the crew.
A list of 20 vessels that have dis
appeared during the last few months
has been tabulated by the department
of commerce.
Airplanes may be called upon to
solve the ship mystery by patrolling
Uttle-frcquentcd Btretchcs near Capo
Hattcras for somo trace of the mer
chant vessels mysteriously vanished
there.
Coast guard vessels" are exploring
coves and inlets In the hope of pick
ing up clews. If the pirates raided the
Hhips and murdered tho capUircd
crows, some traco must be left, com
merce officials bolleve.
Raiding vessels must have a base
for operations, it is pointed out.
iWihile tho number of vessels that
have disappeared ,is not unusual, the
fact that no trace pf them has been
found and that so'manyi were last
heard from near the same spot, Is con
sidered very Btrange, according to
commerce department officials.
If tho ships had been blown up
gone ashore, or evon captured, ijoine
bit of wreckage floating aahoro would
explain their fate.
Tho schooner Deering, which was
beached" on .Diamond .shoals with all
sails sot, was carefully searched and
not even a trace of the missing crow
found.
Detectives arc watching the old
haunts of sailors in the hope that
some will come back, but this search
has so far been in vain. "
Tho Deering is full of sand ballast
and gulls are using the rigging as a
roosting place.

Further along this line, however, h"

Tho Dalles the "convention city of

that ho shall have it removed from

Thus closes the history of a land
mark of Tho Dalles, which was open
for business night and day for near
ly r0 years. In the early days, this
barn was tho center of activity for
transfer and livery business, but the
coming of tho automobile and subse
quent decrease in tho uso of horses
caused the livery business to become
unprofitable.
It is planned to sell .$50,000 worth

These bonds will bear ( percent in
terest and under Htuto law must be
sold at par. Local investors are ex

if not all, of this issue, as the bonds

(Chronicle's Washington Bureau)
WASHINGTON. Juno 22 Senator
Charles L. McNary said today that
no decision lias been reached yet
in connection with Oregon patronage
and the members of tho Oregon dele
gation in congress also expressed
tho opinion that no final decision
has been arrived at on the subject.
While there hgpparontly been
no definite decisfon nrrived at in
regard to patronage gcsslp emanat
ing from seemingly trustworthy
sources at tho capltol indicate that
a general plan for Its distribution
and also a tentative slate wcro dis
cussed between tho two senators, and
National Committeemen Ralph Wil
liams Just previous to the hitter's
return to Oregon.
It turthor contemplated that Sena
tor McNary should have tho naming
ol collector of Intornal rovenuc nnd
United States mars'ial, and that Sen
ator Stanfield should have the se
lection of collector ot customs and
prohibition ol fleers.
Tho tonta'tivo slato discussed was
Clyde Huntloy of Oregon City for
collector of Internal revenue, Jack
Day or Portland for United States
marshal and Asa B. Thompson ot
Echo for collector of customs.
Mr. Williams favom Huntley and
Day and political gossip Is to the ef
fect that Senator McNary has been
sorlously considering both or tho re
spective ofriccs.
Although neither aro said to bo tho,

salrt to bo anxious to Becuro tho ap
pointmont of. Asa B. Thompson, who
Is bis br,othor-ln-law, as collector of
customs, nnd In vlow of this has
been giving serious consideration to
the slate.
Hut while tho gcnernl plan as' to
the divisions or spoils may bo ad
bored to, such a Hood of protests,
are pouring In against, both Day and
Thomps;m that the tentative slato
may collapse, and an entirely now
personnel be decided upon.
The protest against Day attack
his qualifications for tho offlco and
also object to him because of his
political associations.
Thompson's land office record Is
being urged against him, nnd so is
the lact that ho is a brother-in-law
to Senator Stanfield.
