.. WHE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 192T. ‘Pirate Reports Now Arouse Much Speculation at Newport News. L L NO WORD FROM CREWS Mariners Have Kept Closest Possi- ble Lookout.to Clear Up Mysteries. ‘By the Associated Press. NEWPORT NEWS, Va, June 22.— Six vessels, three barks and three steamers bound to or from this port have disappeared during the past twelve months, according to marine men here. They are the Norwegian barks Skan- son L. Steinund, the Svartskog and the Fiorino, the British steamer Es- peranza de Larringa, another British steamer and a Brazilian steamer, the names of the last two of which are not obtainable at this time. The three steamers all left Hampton roads in February. Mariners have kept a sharp lookout for them and for the other missing ships. but have located no trace of any thus far. ‘Whether or not they were the prey of pirates reported roaming the At- Jantic is not known, but it is gener- ally believed that they went down in storms which raged early in the year. JUSTICE OFFICIALS BUSY. Beek to Clear Up Mysteries Regard- ing Missing Ships. Examination of the logs and reports oF the two coast guard cutters which went to the scene of the grounding of e mystery schooner Carroll A. Dee: #ns and the reports of the two life- waving stations in the vicinity of the shoals falled to show that any one had actually boarded the vessel. How- ever, Department of sustice officials say that they understand that a party from the wrecking tug Rescue board- ed her, and are attempting to confirm this report. All previous reports had said that the vessel had been stripped of provi- elons and some equipment. but in no overnment department dealing with 0 “tase here today was there any evWcnce that any one had made a surrey of the below-decks portion of the vessel to ascertain whether there were bodies there or evidence of foul lay. s P Repofta from the two life-saving stationa n the vicinity showed that the cre »8 had launched boats several times with the purpose of boarding the vessel, but had returned to the beach because of the inability to get close to the vessel without danger, owing te the heavy seas running at the tims. The reports all said that there wyre “no signs of life on board.” but gh*» nothing to indicate that the Jife sav®rs had actually boarded and made an examination of the vessel. The U. S. Coast Guard cutter Man- ning went to the scene of the wreck, but reports from her do not indicate that she sent a boarding party aboard. In fact. the indications were that ‘¢ would have been useless at that *ime, as the whole starboard sectien of the vessel was gone, and she was awash. Efforts were made to tow the wreck farther on the shoals. but. meeting with much difficlty, the cutter's commander finally destroyed her with mines, thus removing her as a menace to navigation. All logs and papers from any de- paftment which had anything to do in connection with the finding of the ship hava heen centered in the Department of Justice, where investigators are studying them preparatory to starting an investigation. Officers of the coast guard service, that eeagoing branch of the govern- ment which deals directly with rescu of ships at sea and grounded, declar that the Deering’s case was one of the most mysterious that had confronted theém for a long time. They could not even venture a guess, even in the light of all their experiences in finding and exsnining wrecks at sea, as to what, hagpened aboard the Deering before she was grounded. Examination of the wireless records in departments having ships in the wvicinity also failed to show any com- munication or S. O. S. signals from the steamer Hewitt, which disappeared a few days after the Deering was found grounded. BRITAIN WITHHOLDS CONFIDENCE IN U. S.

KING ADVOCATES NEW IRISH ERA (Continued from First Puge.) observance of their coronation anni- versary. The king had not been ¥n Belfast since he came here in 1902 a8 the Duke of York, and he and his con- sort were given a right royal welcome today. From the moment their yacht Victoria_and Albert dropped her es- cort at the entrance to Belfast lough to make her way up the straight channel to the dock. the king and the queen were the objects of enthusias- tic demonstrations by the loyalists of Ulster. The people of County Down, on the south side of the lough. and County Antrim. on the northern shore, vied with each other in extending greetings. Acknowledge Thunderous Greeting. An even noisier welcome awaited the royal pair as their yacht steamed past the shipyards. where the cheers of thousands of workmen mingled with the shrieks of siren and whistle. King George and his consort stood on the bridge of the steamer and acknowledged the greeting. And as the monarchs set foot on the dock. the royal salute boomed out. announcing that they were on Irish soil, and the crowds that lined the long street leading to the city hall strained at the barrier walls of soldiery and polige to catch a glimpse of the approachng procession. The wait was short, for with the excep- tion of the formal reception by Vis- count Fitzalan, lord lieutenant of Ireland, and Lord Pirrie, who ap- peared in- behalf of the city, there were no ceremonies at the dock. A squadron of police headed the pro- cession, and the carriages of the royal pair were followed by those of of- ficers and dignitaries. The escort of honor was chosen from the 10th Hussar rded by 6,000 Troeps. On each side of the street was tationed a force of nearly six thou- sand regulat troops, standing shoul- der to shoulder and separated from the crowds by a heavy railing. In other parts of the city police kept vigilant guard agianst untoward in- cidents. ~Arriving at the city hall, the king and queen were met by the lord mayor and members of the Bel- fast council, and the sovereigns pro- ceeded at once to the council room, where the ceremonies immediately be- gan. When they were completed the king and queen were entertained at luncheon by Sir James Craig, the premier of Ulster, after which they were driven once more through the flag-decorated street to Ulster Hall, where they received addresses of loyalty from various organizations. Every Detail Carried Out. The program mapped out for the function was followed strictly, with- out a hiten. The king read his speech to the parliament in an impressive manner and with a clear voice, making every syllable distinct. King George and Queen Mary ar- rived in the harbor of Belfast shortly before 8 o'clock this morning. Their acht, escorted by a flotilla of war- ships, made a quick trip across the Irish sea §rom Holyhead during the night, and reached here more than three hours before it was expected. The weather, which was fine yes- terday. changed suddenly during the night and there was a steady drizzle this morning. which threatened to mar the day's proceedings. - In spite of this, however, crowds began to along the line of’the royal soon after daybreak. Pipers back and forth and kept e in good lplrl:;- until the rrival of the soldiers Who were as- .x;ed to guarding the street over which the sovereigns would pass. Four airplanes circled over the royal yacht as it neared the harbor. King George and Queen Mary stepped ashore at 11:30 o'¢lock. By that time the rain had’ ceased and the sun had appeared. i Firing Quickly Draws Police. e police in the Upper Falls dis- m&h u? this _city, hearing firing in that area today, pursued eight men they suspected and captured threé of them, who were found to have am- munition in their possession.

In an article appearing in The Star of April 25 the term “Annette Kel- lermann bathing suit” was used in the popular sense to describe the one- plece, tight-fitting bathing suit asso- clated with' the costume worn by Miss Kellermann in some of her diving and swimming exhibitions and commonly referred to as “Annette Kellermann’ suit. The articje related that suits of this type were banned at the munic- ipal pools in Potomac Park. ‘There was no intention to refer to the style of bathing suit manufac- tured by the Asbury mills and sold under the trade-name of “Annette Kellermann” suits. These suits are provided with skirts. NAMED FOR POSTMASTER. H. A Dawson Chosen by President for Place at Rockville.

The American Institute of Home- opathy, holding its seventy-seventh annual session here, went on the war path today against prohibition regu- lations which restrict the medical pro- fession. Its board of trustees, at a meet- ing which was attepded by Brig. Gen. Charles K. Sawyer, the Pres doent's phyeician, and = Wayne B. Wheeler, representing the Anti-Sa- lcon League, adepted a resolution to- Jay urging immediate revision.of the regulations. The resolution will be laid before the full institute tomorrow and is ex- pected to be adopted by an over- whelming vote. Restrictions of the Volstead act, to- gether with its administrative and in- terpretative rules and regulations, were condemned by the trustees as having “reacted to the detriment of society and the public health.” Gen. Sawyer joined in the general protest made against continuance of the so- called “unreasonable restrictions.” Mr. Wheeler said he would meet the institute more than half w in recommending a plan to overcome obstacles under the law that are ham- pering the pursuit of honest medical judgment and therapeutics. To Confer With Wheeler. A subcommittee, of which Dr. T. A McCann, president of the institute, was named as a member, was appoint- ed to confer with Mr. Wheeler and consider means for a practical revi- sion of the regulations. This confer- ence will be held today and it is like- ly that it will result in the formulation of a plan which can be presented to the institute tomorrow. The resolution adopted by the trus- tees denies that the issue has any con- nection with propaganda for or against prohibition. “It is purely a matter of preserv- ing the necessary rights of the phv- sician in the 'interests of public health and public policy,” states the resolution. “The point at issue is the right of and to decide what doses of these I remedies cach patient requir:s.” | ! that he|gram was the election of officers. Seen Knock at Profession. It is further contended that the precedent established by the Volstead act in restricting medical pract should, if physicians value their thera peutic’ liberty, be met with a pro. test thut will command attentiou. Some of the rules and regulations, it is charged, are not based upon con- census of medical experience and practice and constitute in =ome of their effects an “indictment of the medical _profession and harassment of the medical practitioner and the sick.” Two big major events were on the institute’s calender today. One was the reception to be tendered the dele- gates by the President and Mrs. Hard- ing at the White House this afternoon. Through Brig. Gen. Sawyer. a for- mer president of the institute, the delegates will receive more than a formal introduction to the chief ex- ecutive. ’ The other feature of the day's pro- l‘_olls were opened when the conven- tion went into session this morning and were to close at 2 o'clock. Dr. Roy Upham of Brooklyn and Dr. Jere- miah Simmondson of New York are the contending candidates for presi- dent. | . TO DISCUSS LOAN LAW. Bills for Revision of D. C. Statute i . Come Up Today.
