a few days at the Washington Navy
Yard, officials and technicians of
the Guard and of" the Navy as well,
gave the vessel a critical inspection

Due to the fact the present trip is

Captain Hottel does not know just
how far the ship will be able to go
but he will proceed as far north as
the ice will permit, perhaps to Point

GUNPLAY RUFFLES THE
MONTE CARLO, Sept. 2. (JP)—A\
threat of fire, some pistol shots and I
a suicide recently spoiled the stu
diously subdued quiet of the great
j gambling room that has made Monte
'Carlo famous.
I Kostieh Radomild, a Jugaslav, ap
parently angered over play on the
| roulette tables, suddenly poured a
bottle of alcohol on the green-topped
table and made as if to toqch off the
| inflamable liquid with his cigar light
!er. The strong-armed, vigilant guards
Ialways hovering near, stopped him,
but the man drew a pistol and fired
wildly about. His shots went wild,
but he broke through the guards,
jumped through the window, and died
(soon afterwards.
Monte’1 Carlo has many tragedies,
I but sedom do they become so spec
tacular. It is often said that every
I heavy loser is well watched, so that
j there may be as few suiefefes *a.s pos
sible to dampen the spirits of the
| gambling crowd or to ruffle the dig
nity of the place. The depressed are
•expected to carry their troubles a
l cross the Monaco border.
SHANGHAI THIEVES
LIKE RADUTOR CAPS
SHANGHAI, Sept. 2. (/P)—The or
nate and statuesque radator cap, in
vogue as an automobile accessory,
has brought a new crime problem to
the Shanghai polite,
i Since the caps made their appear
ance here on motor cars there has
been an epidemic of radator cap
thefts, and although police in the
French and international settlements
have tried to protect car owners,
only one thief has been caught.
He was a lowly coolie, jobless, who
had a large number of the caps in
his possession. He had sold 15, he
said, for the equivalent of $1.20. They
were valued at more than $100. Many
Chinese, it is thought, are pilfering
the metal “statuary” for ornaments.
