Amsterdam, Jan. 20.—Accord- ing to an official statement from Berlin, says The Cologne Gazette, the British steamer Yarrowdale, | carrying crews of steamers cap- tured by the German raider in the Atlantic, was bronght into the | port of Swinemuende, Prussia. The official statement from Berlin Friday night reporting the! arrival of the Yarrowdale in har- hor on December 31 last as a prize of the German raider did not in- dieate the port at which she ar- rived, , Swinemuende is in Pomerania, 36 miles northwest of Stettin, of hich it is the outport. The town is on the Swine River, one of the channels connecting the Stettiner IJaff with the Baltic Sea. Vessels captured by the German war craft have frequently been taken into Swinemuende on previous oc-| casions. * Appleton City’s light plant is right on the verge of a water famine as the water in the big pond has about given) out and Ss heing night plant is each very low.

Jan. 20.— After starving six days, Frank Lester, a convict in the Missouri penitentiary, walked out of his hiding place in one of the prison shops and surrendered. He had nothing to eat since noon last Sun- dav and was so weak from lack of food that he could scarcely stag- ger along. Lester managed to hide out as the men were being marched to the cells after dinner. He intend- ed to go over the wall, but could find no opportunity. He hid under a pile of material in the shop during the day and at night sought a way to get out. There was water in the shop but nothing to eat. He is in the pris- on_ hospital. , Lester came from St. Louis A FTER thirty-six We want your accou The Old of four years for burglary. S| ae ‘vessels were considered as war vessels.

McNamara, Los Angeles Times building dynamiter, has spent his eighteenth day in a dungeon at San Quintin penitentiary, thus breaking all records for the last | five days as to the length of time a prisoner remained in a dark cell of his own accord. McNamara, however, seems as firm in his determination to re- main incommunicado today as he was on January 2, when he was thrown: into the dark cell for re- fusing to work in the jute mill. ‘He had a ‘‘snap’” job in the pris- |on laundry, but lost it for violat- ing prison rules.
