PORTLAND, Maine, June 21.
- The theory that pirates tiro tiflout
in the north Atlantic has found
credence hero. Bolief in this
explanation of the fato ot recent-
ly missing ships has grown with
establishment of the fact that the
message in a bottle picked up
, two months ago north of Cape
Hatteras, purporting to explain
the disappearance of tho crow of
tho five masted Hath schooner
Carroll A. Deering, mystery ship
of Diamond Shoals, by pirates
was written, by Henry Bates of
Isleshoro, Maine, a membor of the
crew. Question of its genuine-
ncss was settled, by handwriting
exports who compared it with lot-

WASHINGTON, June 21. 4 world
wide search for tho missing crow of
the schooner Carroll A. Deering of
Bath, Malno, which piled on the North
Carolina beach last January with ull
sails sot, but not a living soul aboard,
has been started by the state depart
ment through American consuls.
The mystery is being investigated
by the department of justice and de
partment of commerce as Is also the
unexplained disappearance of the
American steel freighter Hewitt, out
of Sabino Pass, Texas, for Boston.
This craft disappeared at about the
same tlmo that tho Deering came
ashoro.
The summary of the history of the
Deering case as sent to consuls by the
state department discloses that when
the Deering passed Cape Lookout
lightship, North Carolinn, on January
29, while bound from Klo de Janeiro
for Norfolk, a man other than tho mas
ter reported that the vessol had lost
both anchors and asked to bo reported
to Its owners. " "'
--,' Fear Foul Play k
Five days later tho vessel was found
on the beach in what the sfato depart
ment describes as "in such condition
that there is every suspicion of foul
play having occurred."
Tho department's summary' also
says that a short time after tho Deer
ing passed tho lightship, a steamer,
the name of which has not-been ascer
tained, passed the light vessel and
was asked to stop and take a message
for forwarding hut no response was re
ceived to "the numerous attempts on
the part of the master of tho lightship
to attract tho vessel's attention."
The doparmont's summary then
says that on April 11, tho following
message was picked up In a bottle
near Cape Hatteras:
"Deering captured by oilhurning
boat something like chaser, taking off
everything, handcuffing crew. Crew
hiding all over thoship, no chance to
make escapo, finder plcaso notify
headquarters of Deering."

tho factH of profits made on the neces
saries of life, public opinion would
have a powerful effect in reducing
prices and there would be no neces
sity of prosecution under tho Sher
man anti-trust law.
Tho convention went on record
against legislation fixing the wages
of tho workers, declaring that "if
American standards aro to bo govern
ed by laws enacted by congress made

ists union failed In an attempt to have
tho convention to instruct its execu
tive council to immediately draft and

for old ago pensions with an "urgent
request for speedy adoption."
Tho council, however, was instruct
ed by nn overwhelming vote to make
an Investigation into tho matter and
"take whatever action scenm proper
and necessary." ,

C. Grow, of Portland, Ore., author
of the resolution, declared that Imme
diate action was needed to care for
tho "thousands of starving aged men
and women workers."
Opposition to immediate action was
expressed by VI Ilium Green of the
United Mine Workers, who urged a
"definite and constructive old age
pension program,' which he said,
could only be obtained by a "careful
study of this grave -question."
A motion by Max Hays, of Cincin
nati, of the typographical delegation,
to have the council re-introduce the
Wilson old age. pension bill In the
present congress with amendments
or modifications was defeated.
The convention was cautioned
against any "hasty program," by seve
ral deb'gates, who pointed out that
there was Involved in tho matter a

wered by Mr. Brown, who declared

ed by a tax on industry.

to provide a referendum vote of the
membership In selecting Its officers,

the Ktato Bank of North Dakota, was
referred to tho executive council with
out recommendation.
